Handling the appliance

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.

The thermostat knob is on the light box in the refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostat interrupts the operation of the appliance automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

The closer it is set to maximum position the more intensive the refrigerating will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium position (between minimum and maximum), in the freezing compartment -18 °C, in the fresh food compartment +5 °C can be reached. Setting it to a medium position is adequate for everyday use.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.

In the maximum position - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the compressor may operate continually. This

does not cause damages to the appliance.

How to use the refrigerator

For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation is necessary. For this reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the

shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).

Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it to reach room temperature naturally.

In this way the unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.

Foods can take over odours from each other. So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or cling film before placing them into the refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will not

dry out after some days.
