[. . . ] Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc. ) should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i. Just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated. GB Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. min= warmest max = coldest We recommend , however , a medium position. Chiller system No Frost It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back walls of the compartments. The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. 15 GB Using the freezer to its full potential The temperature inside the freezer compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. 1 = warmest max = coldest We recommend , however , a medium position. ICE CARE tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it to drop in again. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening. Is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels. OFF switches the appliance off, including the refrigerator. • Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. [. . . ] The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. • Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption. • Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance).
