Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. ¥ Remove safety elements used for transportation. compartment regulates the temperature of the appliance. ¥ Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. Temperature Control ¥ The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: ¥ Ambient temperature ¥ Quantity and temperature of the food stored; ¥ Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open ¥ the location of the appliance. ¥ The temperature inside the appliance is automatically adjusted. ¥ Setting ã1Ò = hightest temperature, warmest setting 37 Refrigerator compartment Starting the appliance ¥ Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the thermostat knob clockwise beyond position ÇOÈ (OFF). ¥ The thermostat control situated inside the fridge ¥ Setting ã6Ò = lowest temperature, coldest setting. ¥ Setting ã¥Ò = Off A medium setting is generally the most suitable. Hints Saving Energy ¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section ÒInstallationÓ. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy. ¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. ¥ If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption. ¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. ¥ Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge. ¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. Hints for refrigeration ¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints: ¥ Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. ¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the wire shelves. ¥ Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer/s. ¥ Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible. ¥ Milk bottles: these should have a top 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 refrigerator. Internal Parts Storage shelves ¥ The shelves can be removed for cleaning. ¥ To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the shelves can be placed at different heights. ¥ To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. D302 ¥ Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height. The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers and the bottle shelf should always remain in position, to ensure correct air circulation. Door shelves ¥ To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height. ¥ Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required. D758 ¥ For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be easily removed and refitted in position. 38 Freezer compartment Temperature Control ¥ To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostat knob. ¥ For a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0¡C. If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting. ¥ At the 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. Hints Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food ¥ Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required. ¥ 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. ¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. ¥ It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. ¥ Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time. ¥ Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may burst. ¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. Interior Accessories 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. Maintenance Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians. Defrosting Refrigerator compartment ¥ Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is automatic. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a container at the back of the appliance, above the motor compressor, where it evaporates. D037 ¥ It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole. 39 Freezer compartment ¥ Remove the frost with a plastic scraper. ¥ Whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 5 mm complete defrosting should be carried out. Prooceed as follows: ¥ Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. ¥ Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to the ÇOÈ setting. ¥ Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, remove the plug as shown in the figure. Cleaning Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged. NEVER use detergents, abrasive ...
