SETTING THE THERMOSTAT KNOB
The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the fridge,
towards the upper right-hand corner. Turn the knob from the STOP (0) position
towards the higher numbers for colder temperatures. The knob can be adjusted from
setting 1 to 7.
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in
all compartments of the appliance.
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the
appliance so choose a correct setting of the temperature control knob, depending on
your ambient conditions.
In the STOP (OFF) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), but power supply is not interrupted.
Set the thermostat knob to a middle position to achieve -18°C in the freezer
compartment.
Please Note:
If the appliance is switched off you must wait at least 5 minutes before
restarting the appliance or re-inserting the plug into the wall outlet. This is to allow
the protection device in the compressor to reset.
If the compressor fails to start correctly remove the plug and wait for 5 minutes
before you try again then the compressor should restart normally.
The storage temperature may be affected by:
• The room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
When you set the correct temperature, all these factors mentioned above shall be
taken into account.
TEMPERATURE INDICATE
In order to help you get the correct adjustment of your device, it is equipped with a
temperature gauge placed in the coldest area.
For the proper storage of food in your refrigerator and in particular in the coldest
area, make sure that “OK” appears in the temperature indicator.
The symbol on the left side indicates the location of the coldest area
of your refrigerator. It defines the height of this area.
If “OK” is not displayed, the average temperature in this area will
be very high. You ought to adjust the thermostat to a colder setting.
INSTALLATION
USE
• Position the appliance and allow it to stand for two to three hours before it is
turned on for the first time to allow the system to settle. Do not position next to
any heat source e.g. cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.
• Allow at least 10cm of space at the top and 10 cm of space on both sides of the
appliance and between the back of the appliance and the wall for adequate air
circulation. The appliance is not designed for recessed installation (“building in”).
• Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness of the floor should be
corrected prior to installation, slight unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the
front feet.
•
NOTE:
If the appliance is positioned on a carpet, soft floor covering you should
readjust the front feet once the appliance has had time to settle.
• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16°C and
38°C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will
not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods,
the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may
occur.
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash the inside of the cabinet
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the
appliance thoroughly.
• When you use the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat
control to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be
stored, and then readjust to the normal position.
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected
if the failure lasts for less than 12 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food
should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
