Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with rotational arrow indicating motion (no text or symbols)

- Turn the thermostat control to the required setting.

Temperature Control

• The thermostat control situated inside the fridge compartment regulates the temperature of the appliance.

• It allows you to adjust the temperature inside the refrigerator according to use and external conditions.

• Setting „1“ = hightest temperature, warmest setting

• Setting „6“ = lowest temperature, coldest setting.
• Setting „0“ = Off

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Internal Parts

Storage shelves

• The shelves can be removed for cleaning.
• To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the shelves can be placed at different heights.
• To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed.
• Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.

compartment and can be slid sideways.

Hints

Saving Energy

• Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section "Installation". When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
• Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.

Hints for refrigeration

- Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:

- Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

• Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.
• Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom bins.
• Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment Temperature Control

• To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostat knob.
• For a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.
• At the first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment, let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.

Interior Accessories

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

i Hints

Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.
• It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may burst.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

• Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is automatic. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a container at the back of the appliance, above the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
• It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole (F) situated under the salad drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided (P), which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.

P F S.I.011

Freezer compartment

• Remove the frost with a plastic scraper.
• Whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 5 mm complete defrosting should be carried out. Proceed as follows:
• Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
• Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to the «O» setting.
• Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, remove the plug as shown in the figure.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with a magnified inset showing a component (no text or symbols present)

• When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and refit the plug.
• Turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
• Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid. Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good working order of the appliance.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.
