Smeg FPL33WD Arranging Foods Inside the Refrigerator Compartment, Cheese box, Inside lighting

Instructions for the user

All door shelves and boxes can be removed for cleaning. To remove them from the door, tap them upward with your fist in the first on one side of the insertion zone and then on the other. Do not place excessively heavy bottles on the bottle shelf, and place bottles on the shelf gently when loading them (Fig.1). When removing bottles, do not pull them in a diagonal direction as this may over-strain the retainer rod (Fig.2).

4.6 Cheese box

A special cheese box with lid is supplied (depending on model). This box can be placed on any shelf as required.

4.7 Inside lighting

When the refrigerator door is opened, the light comes on; it remains on until the door is completely closed again. The light comes on even if the refrigerator thermostat is set on "0" (stop), meaning that the refrigerator is switched off.

5. ARRANGING FOODS INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution will:

-conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;

-prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;

-prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient

temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves.

Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.

Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly sealed and vertical.

6. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE

The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to set the operating temperature both in the refrigerator and in the freezer (in case of the mod. FAB32 it controls the operating temperature in the refrigerator section only). When the knob is turned to 0 ("stop"), the appliance is switched off.

The operating settings are from 1 to 7.

There is no direct correspondence between the setting chosen and the temperature in the two sections of the appliance. Increasing the setting number reduces the temperature inside the appliance. Only use the highest settings (6-7) if

absolutely necessary: with these settings, the temperatures inside the refrigerator compartment may be close to 0°C and electricity consumption will be higher. In normal operating conditions, a medium-low setting (2-3) is recommended. This will provide effective storage of the fresh foods in the refrigerator compartment and of the frozen foods in the freezer compartment.

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures.
