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.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
Hints and tips
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:
•
A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound
when refrigerant is pumped.
•
A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor
when refrigerant is pumped.
•
A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
•
A faint click noise from the temperature regulator
when the compressor switches on or off.
Hints for energy saving
•
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
•
If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature
and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor
may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the
door shelves can be placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free
2. Reposition as required.
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
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
