[. . . ] Butter: use the special compartment in the door panel. Canned products: once the can has been opened, remove any residual contents and preserve in another non-metal container. Important: do not place foods or containers in direct contact with the rear part of the refrigerator compartment. Ensure free circulation of air between and around the various items. Do not cover the grilles with paper or other materials. Frozen foods can be stored in the or compartments for the period indicated on the package. Adjusting the temperature The thermostat (see figure) allows a gradual adjustment of the temperature. The z position indicates deactivation of the appliance and interior light off. For food to keep in the best condition possible, the knob should be set to position 4. For colder temperatures rotate the thermostat knob toward a higher number. Or, if the temperature is too cold, rotate the knob toward the lower numbers: position 1. Note that the thermostat settings are affected by room temperature, quantity of food in storage, position, and frequency of opening the door: with experience you will find the setting that best suits your requirements. Use of the refrigerator compartment In the compartment the temperature varies from zone to zone. The coldest zones are those close to the rear wall immediately above the crisper drawers. To maintain the aroma, substance and freshness of all foods, we suggest wrapping them in sheets of aluminium or polythene, or putting them in the special containers with lid. This avoids the mingling of smells and aromas. The space in the refrigerator can be organised in various ways by moving the grilles as appropriate. General advice on the positioning of foods: Cooked foods, hard cheeses: use the upper grilles. Meat, fish, cold meats, etc. : on the shelf of the crisper drawer. Fruit and vegetables: use the drawer provided. Drinks: use the shelf in the door panel.
