How to use the refrigerator compartment...

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in- side the appliance

1 = less cold

5 = colder

It is recommended that a medium setting be used.

To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart- ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on

whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat- ing normally.

If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tempera- ture high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto- matically.

Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Bananas (they will turn black). Citrus fruits. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).

-Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper.

-Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor- age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time.

-Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food.

-Do not place liquids in containers without covering them because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.

-Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the

back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in- crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, con-

tainers, etc.).

- The refrigerator compart- ment is equipped with con-

venient, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be ad-

justed for height using the shelf guides. This allows you

to place even large contain- ers and foodstuffs in the re-

frigerator.
