The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold 5 = colder It is recommended that a medium setting be used. To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a "cooling area" located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

What Not to Store in the Refrigerator Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places). /* 4 - Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder, heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper. In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a relatively short period of time. Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and 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). 2) Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water.

Defrosting WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been recommended by the manufacturer. How to defrost the refrigerator compartment This appliance features automatic defrosting; condensed water flows to the back of the appliance through a drain (see Fig. 3) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate to the exterior.
