Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position. The appliance will start to operate.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position «O»
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
•room temperature;
•how often the door is opened;
•the quantity of food stored;
•location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
•do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator;
•do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
•Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Freezing fresh food
The
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to move the thermostat knob from the normal setting. However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.
Place the food to be frozen on the shelf in the freezer compartment as this is the coldest part.
