How to Start the Appliance
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 putting the plug in the socket, make sure that the light is on inside the appliance and then turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “3” setting. 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.
