[. . . ] After a couple of hours, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator. How to use the refrigerator compartment. . . The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance = less cold = 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.

GB 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. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen. - In order to have a larger storage volume, the freezer compartment can be used without its drawers (except for the first one from the bottom), placing food directly onto the evaporator plates. After introducing the food to be stored, make sure that the door shuts properly. - In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9-14 hours. 3 Energy Saving Tips - Install the appliance correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. - Correct temperature settings Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low temperature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese. - Do not overfill your appliance Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circulation and overwork the compressor. [. . . ] - Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove. - Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent. [. . . ]
