Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in
progress. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain
hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than
absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature
regulator is on the higher setting and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
turn the temperature regulator toward lower 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
• 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.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned
and placed in the drawer.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight
containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene 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.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be
frozen should be added during this period.
• Freeze only 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 subsequently 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.

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 storage time.
