inside the fridge, towards the upper right-hand corner. Turn the
knob from the MIN position towards the higher number for colder
temperatures. The knob can be adjusted from setting MIN, MED,
MAX.
Higher setttings on the knob (MAX) 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
• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature
between 16°C and 43°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 (5 ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When you use the freezer for the frst 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.
