• 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 Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and a saving in electricity consumption.
6.3 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 odor.
• Position food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
6.4 Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in plastic 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 plastic 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.
6.5 Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• 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 rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible to thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil
or plastic 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.
• Frozen liquids, 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 storage time.
6.6 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.
• Do 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.
