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.
Setting 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.
•
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.
Setting the freezer operating temperature
24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods turn the thermostat to a setting
between 5 and 7. After the 24 hours have passed, insert the fresh foods and turn the
thermostat knob to the setting of your choice.
Important: Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and
the frequency with which the door is opened affect the refrigerator's operating
temperatures.
