3.2 Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
temperature regulator to the "O" position.
3.3 Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically
regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as
follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator towards
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator towards
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally
the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
• room temperature
• how often the lid is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully
loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperature,
it may run continuously causing
frost to form on the rear wall. In
this case the dial must be set
to a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy
consumption.
4. FIRST USE
4.1 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 or
abrasive powders, as these will
damage the finish.
5. DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
CAUTION!
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the
temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
