Positioning the door shelves (Fig. 10-11)

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. 10).

Frozen food storage

The compartment marked by the symbol is suitable for storing frozen food and, to obtain the best results, make sure the thermostat knob is set near the coldest setting (if ambient temperature is low-i.e., less than 20°C - it is necessary to adjust the conveyor in such a way as to reduce the temperature in the refrigerator compartment). With this thermostat knob setting, the temperature in the refrigerator compartment could fall below 0°C.

If this occurs readjust the knob so as to increase the temperature.

Furthermore, make sure that:

the frozen food to be stored has been kept at the proper temperature in the shop;

transport of frozen food from the shop to the evaporator compartment is carried out in a brief time;

do not exceed the storage time indicated on packages by the food manufacturer.

After an idle period it is necessary to let the appliance run for at least two hours with the thermostat knob set on the coldest setting before placing any frozen food in this compartment.

If no frozen food is stored in the evaporator, it is advisable to adjust the conveyor so as to reduce the temperature in the refrigerator compartment thus reducing energy consumption and improving food refrigeration performance.

Never put fizzy drinks in the 2-star ( ) compartment as they might well burst.

A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not

be eaten straight out of the 2-star ( ) compartment as this might cause cold burns.

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature depending on the time available for this operation.

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

Making ice cubes

The refrigerator is provided with an ice cube tray. This tray should be filled with drinking water and then placed in the evaporator compartment.

Do not use metal tools to remove the tray when it is stuck-frozen inside the compartment.
