Starting-Up Plug the appliance into the wall socket. Turn the «temperature knob» A (Fig. 1) to intermediate position. 5 REGULATION AND CONTROL Temperature regulation: A FIG. - 1 Allows temperature regulation according to room temperature and usage. 0 = Disconnection of motor. Interior light: H FIG. - 1 Lightens when opening the door of the refrigerator compartment and shuts off when closing the door. It also shuts off turning the temperature regukator to 0 position. When changing the light bulb (see point A-1 «IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK»), release the protection X, by removing the screw Y and pushing it as showns in the figure. 6 HOW TO USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Freezer Compartment: This freezer, marked , is suitable for freezing food and permits long term storage of frozen food. The appliance must be connected for at least 3 hours before introducing food. Freezing of food: 1) Place food on the upper grill I (figure 1). 2) Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that position. 3) The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the «Rating Plate». 4) The shelf situated in the freezer door is not destined to freeze fresh food but to preserve prefrozen food, storage ice cream or frost cocktail glasses; the volume is 7 l. Conservation of frozen food: For a safe storage of food the temperature inside should never rise above - 18° C. An adjustable thermostat is regulating this temperature automatically. Make sure the «Temperature Regulator» is on a medium setting. However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to poor ventilation, high room temperature, frequent opening of the door) to graduate the setting of the «Temperature Regulator». In case of an accidental stop of the appliance or a power cut proceed as follows: Keep the doors closed at all events. Try to find out for how long the failure will continue. Once reestablished to normality: A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power failure is less than the time indicated on the «Rating Plate» no damage has been done to the food stored. B) If the freezer is fairly loaded the «rising of the temperature» is reduced. If thawing has not yet started proceed as said in previous point. C) If thawing has started, consume the food immediately, or cook it and the freezing it again. Refrigerator Compartment: This compartment is meant for keeping drinks and fresh food. The inner temperature is quite equalized. Avoid food touching inner walls, as the cold is being produced in there and the food could partly get frozen. On the other hand this would avoid a perfect circulation of the cold air. [. . . ] Inner light refrigerator compartment does not lighten ( H Fig. 1) CAUSE SOLUTION Plug not connected. The temperature regulator is on 0 position Plug it. Fix or substitute it for another one of same features. [. . . ]
