USING THE APPLIANCE
THERMOSTAT SETTING
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. Cooler temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob
to higher numbers (1 to 5).
NOTE:
Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position 1, it will stop your appliance
from working.
-
Set the knob to a low/medium position,up
to 3, for short-term storage of food in the
appliance.
-
Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or
4, for long-term storage of food in the
appliance.
-
For freezing fresh foods or a large quantity
of foods, set to 5. The appliance will run
for colder temperatures.
NOTE:
The ambient temperature, the temperature of freshly stored food, and how
often the door is opened all affect the temperature in the appliance. If required,
change the temperature setting.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS WARNINGS
- It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than
10°C in terms of its efficiency.
- When setting the thermostat, take into consideration how often the appliance
doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the
environment in which the refrigerator is located.
- When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not
keep a large quantity of food inside.
- Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor.
Once power is restored, delay plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This
will help prevent damage to the appliance’s components.

4.2. Temperature Settings Warnings
• It is not recommended that you
operate your fridge in environments
colder than 10°C in terms of its
efficiency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into
consideration how often the appliance
doors are opened and closed, how
much food is stored in the refrigerator,
and the environment in which the
refrigerator is located.
• When the appliance is first switched
on, allow it to run for 24 hours in
order to reach operating temperature.
During this time, do not open the door

• Unplug your appliance during a
power cut to prevent damage to the
compressor. Once power is restored,
delay plugging in your appliance
for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help
prevent damage to the appliance's
components.
• Your appliance is designed to
operate in the ambient temperature
ranges stated in the standards,
according to the climate class stated
in the information label. It is not
recommended that your fridge is
operated in the environments which
are outside of the stated temperature
ranges. This will reduce the cooling
efficiency of the appliance.
• Your appliance is designed to operate
in the ambient temperature (ST/N =
16°C - 38°C) intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate
class displayed on the information
label. We do not recommend
operating your appliance out of the
stated temperature limits in terms of
cooling effectiveness.
