Before use
GB
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section "Installation".
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 4 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This
time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.

Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
Once set, the temperature display shows "- -" until
the temperature inside the fridge reaches -1°C or
below.
Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest
temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the
products since this will reflect the real temperature
in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in
temperature display shows a temperature slightly
above that measured in other ways.
