Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to
the mains socket.
The thermostat knob is on the light box in the
refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set
the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostat interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the
required temperature.
The closer it is set to maximum position the colder it
will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium
position (between minimum and maximum), in the
freezing compartment -18 °C, in the fresh food
compa5 °C can be reached. Setting it to a
medium position is adequate for everyday use.
The temperature in the refrigerator is affected by not
only the position of the thermostat but the ambient
temperature, frequency of door openings and the
quantity of food put into it etc.
I
n the maximum position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves -
the compressor may operate continually. This
does not cause damages to the appliance.
How to use the refrigerator
Sufficient air circulation is required for the
proper operation of this appliance. For this
reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation
gaps behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.
Allow it to reach room temperature naturally.
In this way unnecessary frost building up can be
avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each
other. So it is essential to put foods in closed
dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium
foil, grease-proof paper or cling film before
placing them into the refrigerator. This way foods
will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will not
dry out after some days.
