CHAPTER -3: USING THE APPLIANCE

Thermostat Setting

The fridge thermostat automatically regulates the temperature 

of the compartment. Fridge temperatures can be obtained by 

rotating the knob to higher numbers, 1 to 5.

Thermostat Settings

•   Set the knob to a low/medium position, up to 3, for short-

term storage of food in the appliance. 

•   Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or 4, for long-term 

storage of food in the appliance.

•   For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can 

set knop maximum position (4 - 5).

Note that:

 The ambient temperature, the temperature 

of freshly stored food, and how often the door is opened 

all affect the temperature in the appliance. If required, 

change the temperature setting.

Temperature Settings Warnings

•   It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.

•   When setting the thermostat, take into consideration how often the appliance door is opened and closed, how 

much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.

•   When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating temperature. During 

this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.

•   Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor. Once power is restored, delay 

plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help prevent damage to the appliance's components.

•   Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the 

climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments 

which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.

•   Larders (coolers) have not any freezer compartment but can cool up to 4 - 6 °C.

•   Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals stated in the 

standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your 

appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
