USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance: � � � do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position. The appliance will start to operate.
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place in the wire baskets. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most. Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed in the wire baskets. Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special basket provided.(B) Bottles should be placed in the special basket (B) fitted with adjustable holders for various bottle sizes. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: � � � � room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance.
A
A medium setting is generally the most suitable. Important If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
