average value. After a few hours you will be able to

put food in the refrigerator.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob.

We recommend, however, a medium position. 1 = warmest 5 = coldest

The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally.

If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically).

In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows:

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
