Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: · · · · room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. Important If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption. 18 Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). Cold accumulators The appliance is equipped with two cold accumulators. If there is a power outage, they will extend food conservation for a few hours. Movable shelves The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Humidity control The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable drawer(s). Close the slots to obtain a warmer temperature and greater humidity. Open the slots to obtain a cooler temperature and less humidity. PR271 Air recycling The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a special D. A. C. (Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can be turned on with the switch A ( see fig. The green light, when on, means that the fan is working. It is suggested that the fan (D. A. C. ) be used when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .
