A10 

) indicator light will light up and 

both the fresh food and freezer storage compartment temperatures will be displayed as “--” due

A9

 ) once 

on the control panel.

  After being initially switched on the refrigerator will take several hours to cool, depending on the 

environment it is placed in. 

  You can start to store food in it 2 – 3 hours after it was turned on. 
  The fresh food temperature and freezer temperatures will automatically default to the preset 

factory temperature settings of 5°C and -18°C respectively.

  After placing food in the refrigerator, leave it to stabilise for 24 hours. After this time you may 

wish to alter the temperature. 

Loading the refrigerator with food

  Do not store too much food in the freezer. It is recommended not to exceed the load line of 

the drawers. 

  The total weight of the food per shelf should not exceed 24 kg in the fridge compartment.
