OPERATION
Starting-up and Temperature Regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refriger-
ator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be found
on the upper right side of the inner liner, clockwise,
beyond the «O» position, to start the appliance.
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium
setting is generally the most suitable. However, the
thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depend-
ing on the temperature required inside the appliance.
This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as
the ambient temperature, the number of times the
door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the lo-
cation of the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise, to
higher numbers, to obtain a lower temperature, or an-
ticlockwise if a higher temperature is required.
Storage of foods in refrigerator compart-
ment
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator com-
partment, you should follow some very simple rules:
Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
cover or wrap foods (particularly if they have a strong
smell or contain aromatic herbs);
do not cover the shelves with paper or plastic since
this blocks the air circulation in the compartment.
Please note: Do not place foodstuffs and paperbags
etc. in contact with the evaporator plate at the rear of
the refrigerator compartment as this can lead to im-
pairment of the operation of the refrigerator.
Further hints for getting the best out of your refrigera-
tor are the following:
Cooked food, cold dishes, jellies etc., should be well
covered.
Fruit and vegetables should be washed before being
stored.
Raw meat (all types, including poultry) should be
stored in plastic bags.
In this position, fresh meat can be stored for 1-2
days at most.
Inner arrangement
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.

Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then reposition as required.
