Starting up and temperature regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance ith luke arm ater ith a little bicar-
bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of ater). 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 s itched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, ( armest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lo est 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
-ho often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-
ment cannot be independently regulated.
If you ant to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop belo 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 tem-
perature 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 armer setting
(position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor ill be s itched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
