4Using your refrigerator
Temperature setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Foods put into the refrigerator without
decreasing the temperature to room
temperature.
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (eg. exposing to sunlight)
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature using the thermostate. If
the ambient temperature is higher than
32°C, switch the thermostate button
to maximum position.
Defrost
It is normal when ice particles form
on the back wall during the operation.
These do not need to be scratched
or wiped out. Your refrigerator makes
automatical defrost. Water formed
after defrost flows into the evaporation
container via the drain pipe through
the water collecting chute, and here it
evaporates automatically.
•Check periodically whether the
evaporation pipe is clogged and
unclog it using the stick in the hole if
necessary.

EN

instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
• Use lukewarm water to clean the
cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it
dry.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in
a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe it
dry.
• If your refrigerator is not going to be
used for a long period of time, unplug
the power cable, remove all food,
clean it and leave the door ajar.
• Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
Protection of plastic
surfaces
• Do not put the liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in unsealed
containers as they damage the
