OPERATION

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum cold

Position 6 = maximum cold

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position; the intermediate position is usually the most suitable.

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:

room temperature

how often the door is opened

how much food is stored

position of the appliance

Important

If the refrigerator is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected and the motor is working continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from operating.

To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct.

If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.

Ambient temperature switch

With a room temperature below +16°C the refrigerator compartment may not function correctly. If the room temperature is lower than +16°C it will be necessary to depress switch (A). The relevant pilot light comes on.

When freezing fresh food depress the ambient temperature switch three hours before loading the food without modifying the thermostat setting.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods.

Freezing fresh food

It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when freezing fresh food.

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3,5 kg.

Place food to be frozen in the bottom drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

Caution

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.

Thawing

Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending on the type of food and the size of the packs.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat or poultry can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with two plastic ice cube trays.

Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and place them in one of the freezer drawers.

To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.
