Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

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.

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.

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.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the
normal operating position.

Important

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under “rising time”, the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).

Use of the refrigerator

The thermostat is valid for both freezer and
refrigerator compartments.
