HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR

COMPARTMENT

Switching on the appliance

Starting up the appliance

The appliance features internal controls.

Plug in the appliance.

When the appliance is connected to the mains, the inside light

switches on each time the door is opened. The thermostat knob,

located either inside the refrigerator compartment or on the top

section of the appliance (depending on the model), is used to

adjust the temperature of both the refrigerator compartment and

the low temperature compartment.

Adjusting the temperature

For correct operation and optimum storage of food, follow

instructions given in the enclosed product sheet for

thermostat adjustment.

Note:

The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the

position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures. These

factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.

How to use the refrigerator compartment

Position the food as shown in the figure.

A. Cooked food

B. Fish, meat

C. Fruit and vegetables

D. Bottles

E. Cheese

Notes:

The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the

refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow

circulation of air.

Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the

refrigerator compartment.

Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.

Store liquids in closed containers.

Important

Storing vegetables with high water content can cause

condensation to form on the glass shelf of the crisper

drawer: this will not affect the correct operation of the

appliance.

3Gb33007.fm Page 70 Monday, January 27, 2003 3:54 PM

HOW TO OPERATE THE LOW TEMPERATURE

COMPARTMENT

The low temperature compartment is , or .

Compartments marked can be used to store frozen

foods for the period of time indicated on packaging. If the

low temperature compartment is marked , it can also

be used to freeze fresh food.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is

shown on the rating plate.

Note:

In the event of a power cut, the low temperature compartment

will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage.

However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door

during such periods.

Freezing fresh food (only in compartments marked

)

Important

Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil,

cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers

with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.

Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving

sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate.

For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down by half a point

when placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment.

The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.

For appliances with compartments marked

The table alongside shows the recommended maximum

storage time for frozen fresh foods.

When purchasing frozen food products:

Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in

damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is

swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored

under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already

begun.

When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and

transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon

as you get home.

If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.

Consume within 24 hours.

Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.

Respect the best-before date on the package.

Always observe the storage information on the package.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the low

temperature compartment.

Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if

it is stuck to the low temperature compartment bottom.

Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.

supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water

is removed correctly.

Defrosting the low temperature compartment

Defrost the low temperature compartment once or

twice a year or when the ice formation is excessive.

It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The amount of ice

which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will

depends on room temperature and humidity, and on

the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice

formation is concentrated at the top of the

compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the

appliance.

If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.

Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper

and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.

Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.

Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water

and/or neutral detergent.
