If it is still not OK (B), adjust the setting control to a colder setting.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Hints for energy saving
- Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
- Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
- Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
- If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
- Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
6.2 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• The medium temperature setting ensures good preservation of fresh food.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
- It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
- Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
6.3 Hints for food refrigeration
- Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with
- Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
- Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
- It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
7. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
7.2 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
- Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
- Regularly check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
- Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
- Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.
- Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole situated under the salad drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.
