Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
The operating pilot light (C) will illuminate.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with different temperature positions and an “OFF” (O) position.
Position ● = minimum coldness
Position ● = maximum coldness
Insert a coin to turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:
–room temperature
–how often the door is opened
–how much food is stored
–position of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected, the motor is working continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct.

If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.
Ambient Temperature Switch
Low Ambient Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the switch mounted on the control panel should be pressed.
No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in this position for any period of time (see page 10 Low ambient operation). However should the temperature rise above 16°C remember to press again the switch.
