Thermostat knob (refrigerator) 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. 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. USE OF THE FREEZER This freezer compartment has been marked with the symbol , which means that it is suited to the freezing of fresh foods, the conservation of frozen foods and the production of ice-cubes. 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. Starting Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall socket (the function indicator light (E) will light up indicating that the freezer is receiving electrical input.) Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the right to a medium setting (the temperature alarm light (D) will light up). To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the ÇOÈ position. The refrigerator compartment will remain operating. Quick-freezing For quick-freezing, press the Super knob (B). The quick-freezing indicator light (C) will then light up. 49 The temperature alarm light (D) The temperature alarm light turns on automatically whenever the temperature within the freezer rises above a certain value which might endanger satisfactory long-term conservation. It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is initially turned on. It will remain lit up until the optimum temperature for the conservation of frozen food is attained. 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 Òrising timeÓ, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). Freezing fresh food The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the storage times shown by the manufacturer on the commercially frozen food packets. If the freezer has already been working for some time, press the ambient switch at least 12 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. Place the food to be frozen on the upper compartment. 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. 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. Important Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may burst. Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt. Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deteriorates rapidly. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment press the ambient switch at least 12 hours before. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable). 50 USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR Air circulation Inside the appliance, there is a fan (DAC) which is turned on by means of the switch (F). The pilot light (G) will light up. It is recommended that the fan be used when the ambient temperature is above 25 ¡C with the knob set to the position identified by the symbol. At ambient temperatures up to 25 ¡C, the fan may be used with the knob set to any position. However, for lower energy consumption, leave the DAC fan turned off at ambient temperatures below 25 ¡C. Operation The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment can be selected using thermostat (I). 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.
