GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

NOTICE

After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be- fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly.

Thermostat setting

The thermostat setting will depend on the location of the appliance, room temperature and how often the door is

opened. After plugging the appliance into the socket, make sure that the light is on when the door is opened. When starting the appliance for the first time turn the thermostat control knob (A) to the coldest setting for 24hrs then adjust accordingly. After a few hours have passed, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment and frozen foods into the freezer.

How to use the refrigerator compartment...

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in- side the appliance

1 = less cold

5 = colder

It is recommended that a medium setting be used.

To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart- ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on

whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat- ing normally.

If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tempera- ture high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto- matically.
