Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open lon-
ger than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Tempera-
ture Regulator is set to low temperature and the ap-
pliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so
a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for 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 around it
Hints for refrigeration
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 cov-
ered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
When in contact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic
parts of your fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep
citruses in separate containers.
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.
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.
Hints for freezing

any maintenance operation.

• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in
24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food
to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapid-
ly and completely frozen and to make it possible sub-
sequently 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;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones;
salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the stor-
age time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you
should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs
were adequately stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer
than absolutely necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot
be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.
