Connection and
temperature selection
Clean the interior of the appliance
thoroughly before using it for the first
time. (See cleaning).
Connection
Turn the temperature selector (figure W)
which is set at the “0” position. This will
initiate refrigeration process.
Observations:
When the appliance is operating, drops
of water or a layer of frost from on the
rear wall of the appliance. This is normal.
The appliance will automatically
eliminate these and it is not necessary to
scrape the frost off or dry the drops of
water. The water is channelled along the
drainage duct (figure U/5) and is
collected in a tray at the back of the
appliance where it is evaporated.
When the freezer compartment door is
closed a vacuum is produced inside; wait
two or three minutes before reopening it
in order to allow it to depressurize.
Temperature selection
Use the temperature selector (Figure W)
to regulate the temperature inside the
refrigerator and freezer compartments
according to the room temperature. The
high numbers correspond to low degrees
of temperature.
When the temperature selector is at
position “0”, the refrigeration process is
turned off. This process will be initiated
when the selector is turned to position “1”.
An intermediate temperature position is
recommended (approximately “2-3”).
To freeze food, turn the temperature
selector to position ~ “3” (see Freezing).
Important for storing
frozen foods
If the temperature of the place in which
the appliance is to be installed is lower
than +18ºC, it is necessary to turn on the
switch. The red light will be visible.
(Figure W/22).
When this operation is carried out, the
interior light will stay on at reduced
power and in this way the necessary
temperature will be maintained inside the
freezer compartment for the long-term
food storage.
Disconnection and
Disuse
Disconnecting the
appliance
Position the temperature selector
(Figure W/2) at “0”, which will disconnect
the functioning and the refrigeration
process as well as the interior light.
Leaving the appliance out
of action
If you do not need to use the appliance
during a long period of time, unplug,
defrost and clean it. Leave both doors
open.
