6. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE

7. FREEZING FOODS

The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to

set the operating temperature both in the refrigerator and in the

freezer. When the knob is turned to 0, the appliance is switched off.

The operating settings are from 1 to 5. There is no direct

correspondence between the setting chosen and the temperature

in the two sections of the appliance. Increasing the setting number

reduces the temperature inside the appliance. Only use the highest

settings (4-5) if absolutely necessary: with these settings, the

temperatures inside the refrigerator compartment may be close to

0°C and electricity consumption will be higher. In normal operating

conditions, a medium-low setting (1-2) is recommended. This will

provide effective storage of the fresh foods in the refrigerator compartment and of the frozen foods in the

freezer compartment.

The temperature setting in the freezer section is controlled by the main thermostat.

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the

doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator's operating

temperatures.

For proper storage and freezing, fruit and vegetables should be packed in portions of not more than 1 kg

and meat and fish up to a max. of 2 kg. Small packages of food freeze more quickly, giving better

conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and preparation. Use only freezer bags,

aluminium film, food-approved polyethylene film and freezer containers. Do not use paper bags, non

food-approved cellophane bags, shopping bags or used freezer bags. Pack foods in airtight packs and

try to expel all the air. If using bags, close the packs with the elastic bands or plastic-coated wire strips

provided. Always cool hot foods to room temperature before placing them in the freezer and do not allow

frozen foods to touch fresh foods for freezing. Always mark packs with the date of freezing, quantity and

type of food and make sure that foods are fresh and in good condition. The max. amount of fresh foods

which can be frozen in a 24-hour period is marked on the nameplate. Do not exceed the stated amount:

this reduces the freezer's efficiency and its ability to preserve the frozen foods it already contains.

7.1 Storing frozen foods

When purchasing frozen foods, always take care that the pack is not damaged, that the product is not past

its sell-by date and that the thermometer of the freezer in which the products are displayed for sale does not

show a temperature above -18°C. Also note the temperature advice, storage period and modes of

consumption stated by the producer. Purchased foods should also be protected using suitable insulated

containers during transportation to eliminate the risk of thawing. An increase in temperature might reduce

their storage life and adversely affect their quality.

Do not purchase frozen foods which have too much frost on them: they may have already been thawed and

refrozen.
