USECleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the
first time, wash the interior and all
internal accessories with luke-warm
water and some neutral soap so as to
remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.

Operation

Open the refrigerator door and turn
the thermostat knob, clockwise,
beyond the «O» (STOP) position. The
appliance will start to operate.
To stop operation, simply turn the
thermostat knob to position «O»
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically
regulated and can be increased to
achieve a higher temperature (warmer)
by rotating the thermostat knob
toward lower settings or reduced
(colder) rotating the knob towards
higher settings.
However, the exact setting should
be chosen keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the refrigerator
depends on:
• room temperature;
• how often the door is opened;
• the quantity of food stored;
• location of appliance.
A mmedium ssetting iis ggenerally tthe
most ssuitable.

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 round it.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable
for long term storage of commercially
frozen food and for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods it is not
necessary to move the thermostat
knob from the normal setting.
However, for a faster 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.
Place the food to be frozen on the
shelf in the freezer compartment as
this is the coldest part.
