Starting Up and Temperature Regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicar-
bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter-
gent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting
is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature
inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-
ment cannot be independently regulated. If you want to freeze fresh food
rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should reset the temperature
control knob to setting “3” or “4”, if this does occur. As soon as the fresh
food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the temperature control knob
to “3” or “4”. Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to
run continuously. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a
warmer setting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be
switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
Low Room Temperature Switch
When the room temperature is +16°
C or less, the Low Room Temperature
Switch, located next to the thermo-
stat control knob, must be switched
on to maintain the correct tempera-
tures inside the fridge and freezer
compartments. Please note that in
this setting the interior light will
remain on, even if the door is closed.
No damage can be caused by leaving
the switch in this position for any
period of time However should the
temperature rise above 16°C remem-
ber to turn the switch off again.
