The Controls. 

7

The appliance is controlled with a

thermostat knob, situated on the right

handside of the refrigerator  interior.

Turn the knob clockwise from SSTTO

OPP  ((0

0))

position towards 7 and backwards.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION -

Higher settings on the knob (towards 7)

mean lower temperatures (colder) in all

compartments of the appliance.

Temperature in the interior of the appliance

may even drop below 0°C.

When the ambient temperature is normal,

we recommend medium setting.

Changes of the ambient temperature affect

temperature in the interior of the appliance

(choose the correct setting of the thermostat

knob).

Your Fridge Freezer has an integrated

switch for intensive cooling, switch it on

when the ambient temperature is lower

than 20°C, to ensure normal operation of

the appliance. The switch is ON when the

marking I or colour marking is visible, and

OFF when the marking 0 is visible or colour

marking is not visible (depending on

model). Temperature in the refrigerator my

be decreased by activating this switch,

regardless of the ambient temperature.

In SSTTO

OPP  ((0

0)) position the appliance does not

operate (the cooling system is switched off),

yet power supply is not interrupted (the light

is on when you open the door).

WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL
