Control and Use

Control

Temperature Regulator for

Refrigerator:

«A»

Allows to adjust the temperature inside the refrigera-

tor according to use and external conditions.

• Pos. 1 = Minimum cold.

• Pos. 6 = Maximum cold.

• Pos. 0 = Motor disconnected.

Interior light:

Comes on when opening the door of the refrigera-

ting compartment.

When changing the light bulb, first remove the pro-

tective cover «X» after pull out the screw “Y” .

Dinamic Refrigeration (ASP):

Its use is particularly suitable:

• In hot weather (ambient temperature of over 25º)

and when a lot of foodstuffs have just been stored.

• In damp atmospheres (if a lot of frost forms on the

back wall of the refrigerator cabinet or droplets of

water appear on the shelves).

To operate, press the switch.

The ASP Dynamic Refrigeration system improves the

performance of the fridge compartment as can be

seen by:

· Faster cooling

· A more uniform temperature distribution

NOTE: When the ASP is operating on, cold produc-

tion is heightened, so the refrigerator temperature

control must be set to to avoid excessive

cold.

Inner Door Compartments Position

The door compartments can be pulled up and remo-

ved , and inserted at other positions as needed.

Shelves Position

The storage shelves can be adjusted to various

heights.

Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and

vegetables.

There is a separator inside the drawer that can be

placed in different positions to allow for the

subdivision best suited to personal needs.

The drawer incorporates a device with slits

(adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which

makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the

vegetable drawer(s).

Close the slots to obtain a warmer temperature and

greater humidity.

Open the slots (Pos. ON) to obtain a cooler tempera-

ture and less humidity.

Ice Cube trays

Your freezer is equipped with a specific holder in

order to place the ice

cube tray you will find

inside your appliance.

This freezer, is marked , and is suitable

for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping food for

long periods.

Freezing of food

1... Place food on the upper grill.

2... Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that posi-

tion.

3... The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24

hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depending

on the model.

Keeping frozen food

For optimum consevation, the temperature inside the

freezer compartment must be at least -18°C.

This temperature is adjusted automatically.

Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a midd-

le position. Sometimes it may be necessary (insuffi-

cient ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent

opening and closing of the door…) to change the

position of the «Temperature Control».

If the appliance should be accidentally switched off by

a fault or power cut, take the following precautions:

• Keep the doors closed at all times.

• Find out how long the stoppage is expected to last.

Once normal power is restored:

A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has been

less than «Time for temperature Rise» indicated

for each model in the «Technical Features» sec-

tion, then no damage will have been caused to the

food.

B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost more

quickly. If the food has not started to thaw, then

follow the instructions in «A».

C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up as

quickly as possible, or cook them and refreeze

them.

Useful Hints

™ Do not introduce any new food during a freezing

period.

™ Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing

near to already frozen food.

™ Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic

recipies before introducing it into the freezer.

™ Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer.

™ Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass this

on to others and affect their flavour. Wrap them up

adequately or put them into tight closing bags.

™ Follow the instructions given in the cook books,

freezing books and wrapping utensiles for better

conservation of food.

Freezer Compartment

This compartment is for storing drinks and fresh food products.

The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch the back wall, since

behind this surface is where the cold is generated and food could bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the

circulation of cold air.

This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting system. Consequently you will sometimes notice a thin

layer of ice or drops of water on the rear wall.

Refrigerator Compartment:

Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation,

be sure to unplug the appliance.

Defrosting of the freezer

The inner walls of the freezer become gradually

covered with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to

open the door frequently and keeping the food wrap-

ped up in closed bags.

Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the

frost should be removed. Here to proceed as follows:

1... Remove all food staffand place it in the coolest

possible place.

2... Never pull up the sticked ice, you must wait untill

it is melted, when the ice is soft you can remove

it by helping yourself with a plastic ice-scraper,

never use sharp objects, or heating households

because the appliance could be seriusly dama-

ged.

3... Once removed the ice clean and dry the inside

with a soft piece of cloth.

4... You can plug it in again.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated in the refrigerator.
