When the refrigerator is set for the coldest temperature, with a high surrounding room temperature and a great quantity of foods, it will probably be in constant use, with consequent frosting on the back wall of the compartment. If this does in fact occur, the knob should be set to obtain a slightly higher temperature. In this way the refrigerator automatically defrosts, with a considerable energy saving. D040 Movable shelves The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Remember that lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. Prepare the fresh food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required at the time. Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight. [. . . ]
