They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. [. . . ] After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator. SHELVES: with or without grill. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. Using the refrigerator to its full potential · Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). · Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). · Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods. · Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. We recommend, however, a medium position. The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows: Food Fresh fish and meat Fresh cheese Cooked food Salami, bread loaf, chocolate Fruit and vegetables Eggs Arrangement inside the refrigerator Above the fruit and vegetable bins Above the fruit and vegetable bins On any shelf On any shelf In the fruit and vegetable bins On the shelf provided Using the freezer to its full potential · Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). · Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. · Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. · The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4) !If there is a power cut or malfunction, 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. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. Butter and margarine On the shelf provided Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf provided 6 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on 0 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the freezer compartment Remove frost regularly using the special scraper provided. [. . . ] Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources. · Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy. · Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously. [. . . ]
