usage

The appliance features internal controls. Check whether the thermostat (2) is set on OFF. Check that the voltage in your
home corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket.
Set the temperature with the thermostat (2) and choose a setting between 1 and 6. We advise to set the appliance on setting
3 or 4.
The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Do not place anything in the appliance
until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat at the desired setting and place
food into the refrigerator.
Use the highest setting 6 only for making ice cubes or when you put new frozen products in the freezing compartment.
Set the appliance on a higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the
appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat (2) to OFF.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal
temperature. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
• Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of
explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• Leave sufficient space between the food to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing
them, avoid puttin food items in contact with each other.
• Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the appliance. The shelves have a stop to
avoid this.
• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.
• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchase. Make sure that it doesn't defrost
during transport.
• Do not store glass bottles or containers with liquids in the freezer which will freeze. The freezing may cause the bottles to
break. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode. Never keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the
freezer.

tips

• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct
sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it
as soon as possible.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the
cool air to circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
