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.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

After plugging in an switching on at the socket, make sure the light is on inside the refrigerator compartment.

Then turn the temperature control (A) to the 3 setting. After a few hours, you can place fresh food inside the refrigerator and frozen food inside the freezer.

Fill ice trays and put them in compartment'H'.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The temperature control automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance

1 = minimum cold temperature

5 = maximum cold temperature

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.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat- ing normally.

If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem- perature 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 temperature control to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto- matically.
