not dangerous physical phenomenon.
This is correct.

• When the compressor switches on or

switches off, you will hear a faint
"click" of the temperature regulator.
This is correct.

5.2 

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to
low temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.

5.3 

Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-

ing 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 around it

5.4 

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
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
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and 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.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freez-
ing process, here are some important
hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on
the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours.

No further food to be frozen should
be added during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to ena-

ble it to be rapidly and completely fro-
zen and to make it possible subse-
quently to thaw only the quantity re-
quired;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of
the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer

than fatty ones; salt reduces the stor-
age life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer com-
partment, can possibly cause the skin
to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.

5.6 

Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially fro-

zen foodstuffs were adequately stored
by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely neces-
sary;
