Food refrigeration, Movable shelves, Defrosting

Food refrigeration

To achieve the best results with the refrigerator compartment, you should follow one or two very simple rules:

Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator. Cover or wrap foods (particularly if they have a strong smell). Do not cover the shelves (grids) with paper or plastic since this blocks circulation of air in the compartment.

For a correct use of the compartment we suggest:

Raw meat: wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper and, for safety, only store in this way for one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.

Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap; store them in the bottle rack on the door.

Movable shelves

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can be removed by pulling it in the direction of the arrows, then reﬁtting it in position (Fig. 8).

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough (Fig. 9) into a special container on the back of the appliance, where it evaporates.

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows: Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required (Fig. 7).

removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the appliance is empty.
