OPERATION
Operation - Temperature
adjustment
After cleaning the appliance’s interior, connect the
plug to the wall socket.
The temperature inside both the refrigerating and
freezing compartments is regulated with the
thermostat knob (C).
Start by using a medium setting (the operating pilot
light comes on) and then, later, select the thermostat
position most suitable for your requirements.
The temperature is adjusted automatically and may be
increased (less cold) by turning the knob towards the
lower settings or may be decreased (more cold) by
turning it towards the higher settings.
The correct position, however, must be selected by
taking into account that the internal temperature
depends on the following factors:
room temperature;
the number of times the door is opened;
the amount of stored food;
the location of the appliance.
The operation is interrupted by turning the control
knob until its pointer coincides with symbol «
O
».
Important: When the thermostat is on the maximum
cold setting and the room temperature is particularly
high, the appliance may run uninterruptedly with
consequent frost formation on the back wall of the
refrigerator compartment. In such a case it is
necessary to set the thermostat on a lesser cold setting
so as to enable automatic defrosting to take place and
consequently save electric energy.

knob
For correct operation, even at low ambient
temperatures, the appliance is fitted with a special
knob with control located on the control panel.
When the ambient temperature is below +14
°
C, this
knob must be placed in position « » (the relevant
pilot light comes on.
Storage of foods in refrigerator
compartment
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator
compartment, you should follow some very simple
rules:
Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
cover or wrap foods (particularly if they have a strong
smell or contain aromatic herbs);
do not cover the shelves with paper or plastic since
this blocks the air circulation in the compartment.
Please note: Do not place foodstuffs and paperbags
etc. in contact with the evaporator plate at the rear of
the refrigerator compartment as this can lead to
impairment of the operation of the refrigerator.
Further hints for getting the best out of your
refrigerator are the following:
Cooked food, cold dishes, jellies etc., should be well
covered.
Fruit and vegetables should be washed before being
stored.
Raw meat (all types, including poultry) should be
stored in plastic bags.
