Operation - Temperature adjustment
After cleaning the appliance's interior, connect the
plug to the wall socket.
The temperature inside both the refrigerating and
freezing compartments is regulated with the thermo-
stat knob (C).
Start by using a medium setting (the operating pilot
light comes on) and then, later, select the thermostat
position most suitable for your requirements.
The temperature is adjusted automatically and may be
increased (less cold) by turning the knob towards the
lower settings or may be decreased (more cold) by
turning it towards the higher settings.
The correct position, however, must be selected by
taking into account that the internal temperature de-
pends on the following factors:
room temperature;
the number of times the door is opened;
the amount of stored food;
the location of the appliance.
The operation is interrupted by turning the control
knob until its pointer coincides with symbol « ».
Important: When the thermostat is on the maximum
cold setting and the room temperature is particularly
high, the appliance may run uninterruptedly with con-
sequent frost formation on the back wall of the refrig-
erator compartment. In such a case it is necessary to
set the thermostat on a lesser cold setting so as to en-
able automatic defrosting to take place and conse-
quently save electric energy.

N/S knob
For correct operation, even at low ambient tempera-
tures, the appliance is fitted with a special knob with
control located on the control panel.
When the ambient temperature is below +16 C, this
knob must be placed in position « S » (the relevant pi-
lot light comes on.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or poly-
thene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap 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.
