How to use the refrigerator compartment...
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in-
side the appliance
1
= less cold
5
= colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and
improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area”
located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart-
ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on
whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat-
ing normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while
the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tempera-
ture high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in
the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will
lead to an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob
to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto-
matically.
