Starting up and temperature regulation
• Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap
or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal ligh-
ting is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the
right hand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the tempe-
rature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer com-
partment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below
0°C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to set-
ting “3” or “4”, if this does occur.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the
compressor to run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set-
ting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched
on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
