[. . . ] SWITCHING OFF To turn off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to the "O" position. TEMPERATURE REGULATION The temperature is regulated automatically. However, you can set a temperature inside the appliance yourself. Choose the setting keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on: • room temperature, • frequency of opening the door, • quantity of food stored, • appliance location. A medium setting is generally the most suitable one. Turn the temperature regulator clockwise to obtain a lower temperature inside the appliance. Turn the temperature regulator counterclockwise to obtain a higher temperature inside the appliance. DAILY USE WARNING!Refer to Safety chapters. 6 FREEZING FRESH FOOD The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the medium setting. However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness. In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting. STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings. In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling). • 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 Useful hints: • Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. • Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf. • Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed. • Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible. HINTS FOR FREEZING • Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned food products. • For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions. [. . . ] The temperature regulator is not set correctly. The food products' temperature is too high. Many food products are stored at the same time. The thickness of the frost is greater than 4-5 mm.
