Energy Saving Tips
- Install the Appliance Correctly
Thismeans that the appliance shouldbe installedaway from
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle
settings.Verycoldtemperaturesettingswillnotonlyconsume
agreat deal ofenergy but will neither improve nor lengthen
the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures
may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air
circulation.Overfilling yourappliance willhamper proper air
circulationandoverwork the compressor.
- Keep the Door Closed
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the
motormustrunforaconsiderableamountoftime,consuming
a substantial amount of energy.
- Check the Seal on the Door
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
-NeverPutFood in theRefrigerorwhileStill Hot
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
peraturebefore storing.
Storage - getting the most out of your appliance.
Storing Food in the Refrigerator Compartment
Food Storage Time Location in the Refrigerator
Wrapped meat and cleaned fish
(use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags) 2 or 3 days On the shelf above the vegetable crisper (which is the coldest area).
Fresh cheese 3 or 4 days On the shelf above the vegetable crisper
(which is the coldest area).
Eggs 1 month In special egg rack on door.
Butter, margarine On any shelf.
Cooked or precooked food
(placer in air-tight containers and when cool store in
refrigerator)
3 or 4 days On any shelf.
Sausages, salami, sandwich meats in general, fresh
pasta, custards,puddings, chocolates, cream pastries,
bread, dry pastries, red tomatoes
3 or 4 days On any shelf.
Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt On special door shelves.
Fruits and legumes In vegetable crisper.
What Not to Store in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrusfruits.
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,
heavierair tends to descend towardsthe bottom.This iswhy
meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
-Contrarytopopularbelief,cooked foods donotkeeplonger
thanfresh food.
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
therefrigerator.

Caring for Your Appliance
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning
off the general switch in your home).
Defrosting
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other
thanthoserecommended by the manufacturer to speed
up the defrosting process.
Models without an Ice Unit
Theevaporator defrostsautomatically duringoperation; the
defrost water drips into the drain, is collected in a special
tray and then evaporates.
Cleanthe defrost waterdrain hole periodically(see fig. 1)to
preventwaterfrom collecting onthebottomof the refrigera-
torinstead offlowing out.
Models with an Ice Unit
Itis advisable now and thento removethe frostwhich forms
onthe evaporator.
Takecaretonot usesharp objectsfor this purpose since they
couldpiercetherefrigerationcircuitandpermanentlydamage
the appliance.
Proper cleaning is very important in order to guarantee that
the refrigerator operates efficiently and does not consume
excess energy needlessly.
To defrost the evaporator completely, turn the thermostat
knob to “ ” (fig. 2). The water from the frost will collect in
the special tray.
When finished, dry the tray and put it back in place.
Tostart the applianceagain, turn the thermostatknob tothe
