Helpful hints and tips

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.

Important! 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 tem- perature, depending on the time available for this op- eration.

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

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the ar- rows until it comes free, then reposition as re- quired.

Normal Operating Sounds

•You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. This is correct.

•When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct.

•The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden crack- ing noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phe- nomenon. This is correct.

•When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regu- lator. This is correct.

Hints for energy saving

•Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

•If the ambient temperature is high and the Temper- ature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to- ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for 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 around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be cov- ered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided. Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or pol- ythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap 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.
