immediately to your dealer.
Wash the cabinet and inner lining with a
mild unscented detergent and wipe it dry.
Do not use abrasive scouring powder, steel

The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0
(stop) to 7 (coldest). For model SANTO
3900 E: the thermostat knob in position 0
only stops the compressor. To stop the
inside fan and to switch off the light you
have to switch off the appliance at the wall
socket.
Find the position of the thermostat which
gives you the desired temperature. Start at
position 4.
The refrigerator section
Never store hot foodstuffs in the cabinet
and remember always to wrap up the
foodstuffs.
The evaporator of the refrigerator section is
automatically defrosted. The defrost water
is led to a tray on top of the compressor
where it evaporates.
The freezing section
Operating panel. See fig. (1) page 13.
Deep-freezing: Push the button (6). The
yellow indicator will then glow. It stops
glowing when the button is pushed anew.
When the quantity of foodstuffs to be
frozen is larger than 3 kg the button for
deep-freezing should be pushed about 24
hours before the desired freezing.
The button is pushed anew when the
foodstuffs are frozen.
It is important that the deep-freezing takes
place as quickly as possible. Therefore, the
temperature of the foodstuffs should be no
higher than room temperature.
Othenvise follow the advice given in
handbooks on deep-freezing and the
choice of packing material.
Place the foodstuffs so that they obtain
maximum contact with the freezing shelf.
Open the door only when necessary. The
lamp of the alarm knob, fig. (1) page 13,
indicates whether the acoustic alarm is on.
If the lamp is lit the acoustic alarm will
sound if the temperature is too high.
Please note that the water ices, if con
sumed immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment may result in a
freezer-burn, and they should be allowed to
warm slightly before consumption.
