Operation - regulating the temperature
Turn the thermostat dial, positioned at the top right
of the compartment, clockwise to the required
position (beyond the «
O
» position «STOP»); the
most suitable setting is between 2 and 4.
The temperature is automatically regulated; it can
be increased by turning the dial towards the lower
numbers and vice versa.
When selecting the correct position, remember that
the internal temperature depends on the following
factors: ambient temperature, how often the door is
opened, the amount of food stored, where the
appliance is installed.
To switch off, turn the dial until it coincides with the
«
O
» symbol.
If the ambient temperature is high 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 for automatic defrosting and
consequently a saving in electricity consumption.
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.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl):
wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper
and, for safety, only store in this way one or two
days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables:
these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & cheese:
these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles:
these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Movable shelves
Fig. 9
The walls of the
refrigerator are
equipped with a
series of runners
so that the
shelves can be
positioned as
desired.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required (Fig. 10).

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can
be removed by pulling it in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting it in position (Fig. 11).
