Smeg FAB28LUJ1 [7/16] Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment

Instructions for the User

5. ARRANGING FOODS INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR

COMPARTMENT

6. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This

precaution will:

- conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;

- prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;

- prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing

of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient

temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form

on the shelves.

Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room

temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.

Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly sealed and

vertical.

The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to set the

operating temperature both in the refrigerator and in the freezer.

When the knob is turned to 0, the appliance is switched off.

The operating settings are from 1 to 7.

There is no direct correspondence between the setting chosen and the

temperature in the two sections of the appliance. Increasing the setting

number reduces the temperature inside the appliance. Only use the highest

settings (6-7) if absolutely necessary: with these settings, the temperatures

inside the refrigerator compartment may be close to 0°C and electricity

consumption will be higher. In normal operating conditions, a medium-low

setting (2-3) is recommended. This will provide effective storage of the fresh foods in the refrigerator

compartment and of the frozen foods in the freezer compartment.

Regulation of the internal temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by the main

thermostat.

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the

doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator's operating

temperatures.
