Operation of the refrigerator and freezer
compartment
• If the refrigerator compartment of your appliance
is fitted with a thermostat box the temperature of
both compartments is adjusted using the
thermostat knob as shown in figure 1. Move the
knob to the position to switch the whole
appliance off.
• If in addition to the internal thermostat box your
appliance also has an external control panel with
an adjustment knob, the temperatures of the two
compartments must be adjusted separately. The
knob of the thermostat inside the refrigerator
compartment is used for adjusting the
temperature of the refrigerator compartment only
(see fig. 1), while the external panel is used to
adjust the temperature of the freezer
compartment.
The refrigerator and the freezer compartments can
be switched off separately by moving the
corresponding knobs to .
Note: The ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening and position of the appliance can affect
the temperatures inside the two compartments.
These factors must be taken into consideration
when setting the thermostat.

Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food to be frozen inside the freezer
compartment. Avoid direct contact with already
frozen food. To freeze the quantity of food shown
on the serial tag, place the food in the lower basket
and turn the thermostat knob half a setting towards
lower values (e.g. from 4 to 3.5).
After 24 hours freezing will be complete: set the
thermostat knob back to the position it was in
before the freezing procedure.
Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely
automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside
the refrigerator compartment indicate that the
automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost
water is automatically run into a drain hole and
collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Fan (if provided)
The fan operates automatically. The fan ensures a
more consistent distribution of the temperature inside
the refrigerator compartment, with better
preservation of food and reduction of excess
humidity. Do not obstruct the suction zone with food.
The fan is only active when the motor is in operation.
Caution! The refrigerator accessories must not

avoided. The quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen in a 24 hour period is given on the rating
plate. Re-freezing of partially defrosted food is not
recommended. This food should be consumed
within 24 hours. For further information on freezing
fresh food, refer to the quick guide.
