Information on Less Frost technology
LessFrost technology enables more efcient cooling, limited manual de-icing, and more
exible storage space.
Adjustment of the thermostat
The thermostat automatically controls the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer
compartments. The refrigerator temperature is set by turning the thermostat dial to the
numbers at the top; 1 to 3, 1 to 5 or SF (the number of thermostat numbers depends on
the product).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not rotate the button to below position 1 as this would
stop the appliance.

Thermostat settings:
1 - 2: For short-term storage of food
3 - 4: Long-term storage of food
5: Maximum level of refrigeration. The appliance will last longer. If necessary,
change the temperature setting.
If the appliance has an SF position:
• Turn the dial to the SF position to freeze fresh food quickly. In this position, the freezer
compartment will operate at lower temperatures. Once your food is frozen, return the
thermostat dial to its normal use position. If you do not change the thermostat to the SF
position, your appliance will automatically reset to the last thermostat position (after
the duration indicated in the above note). For normal use, reset the thermostat dial to

the SF position, depending on the duration indicated in the above note. If the thermostat
dial is in the SF position when the appliance is rst started, the appliance automatically
returns to thermostat position 3, after the time indicated in the above note.
Fast freeze: The fast freeze switch is used to deep freeze rapidly. For maximum freezing
capacity, switch Fast Freeze to ON, 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer. Once
fresh food is in the freezer, 24 hours Fast Freeze is usually sufcient. To save energy, turn
the Fast Freeze switch to OFF 24 hours after placing fresh food in the freezer.
Winter switch: The winter switch should be used if the ambient temperature is below 16°C.
This will maintain your refrigerator above 0°C and the freezer below -18°C.
Temperature parameter warnings
• Your appliance has been designed to operate within the ambient temperature range for
the climate class indicated on the rating plate. It is not recommended to operate your
refrigerator in geographical locations where the ambient temperature is outside the
range of its climate class. This reduces the cooling efciency of the appliance.
•
The thermostat temperature must be adjusted according to how often the door is opened,
the amount of food stored in the freezer and the ambient temperature of the room where
it is located.
•
When the appliance is switched on for the rst time, it should be left running for 24 hours
to reach the optimum operating temperature. During this period, do not open the door
or store a large amount of food in the appliance.
•
A 5-minute timer is applied to prevent damage to your appliance’s compressor after
plugging into or unplugging from the electrical network, or when a power failure occurs.
Your appliance will resume normal operation after 5 minutes.
The denition of Climate Class:
T (tropical): This refrigeration appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures
between 16 and 43°C.
ST (subtropical): This refrigeration appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures
between 16 and 38°C.
N (temperate): This refrigeration appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures
between 16 and 32°C.
SN (extended temperate): This refrigeration appliance is intended for use at ambient
temperatures between 10 and 32°C.

Temperature indicator
To help you adjust your appliance properly, the refrigerator is equipped with
a temperature gauge located in the coldest zone of the appliance.
For best storage conditions, especially in the coldest zone, make sure that the
"OK" symbol appears on the temperature gauge. If "OK" does not appear on the
temperature gauge, the temperature setting is incorrect.
The temperature gauge is not easy to see if it is poorly lit. It is easier to read if it is properly
lit. If the temperature setting is changed, wait for the temperature inside the appliance to
stabilise before adjusting again (as necessary). Only adjust the temperature setting by small
amounts, and wait at least 12 hours before rechecking and making any changes.
NOTE:
The temperature gauge may not indicate OK for some
time after loading the refrigerator with fresh food or
after repeated or prolonged opening of the door. If the
evaporator in the refrigerator compartment (on the back
wall) becomes unusually frosted (refrigerator overloaded,
high ambient temperature, frequent door openings), lower
the temperature setting until the compressor stops.
Location of coldest food zone
Food can be preserved for longer if it is placed in the appropriate zone within
the refrigerator, according to food type. The coldest zone is just above the
vegetable crisper.
The symbol opposite indicates the coldest zone in your refrigerator.
The coldest zone in the fridge compartment is indicated by stickers on the left side of the
inside wall.

The upper boundary of the coldest zone is the lower edge of the sticker, at the tip of the
arrow. The upper shelf of the coldest zone must be level with the tip of the arrow. The coldest
zone is below this level.
Shelves are removable - make sure that they are always level with the zone limits specied
by the stickers, in order to preserve the temperature of each zone.
Accessories
The visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary depending on the model
of your appliance.
Ice cube tray (on some models)
• Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment.
•
Once the water has completely frozen, twist the ice cube tray as shown to remove the
ice cubes.
Plastic scraper (on some models)
Frost may build up in certain zones of the freezer. Frost accumulated in the freezer should
be removed regularly. Use the plastic scraper provided to this effect. Do not use sharp metal
objects to clear away excess frost. This can puncture the refrigeration circuit and cause
irreparable damage to the appliance.

If the crisper is full, open the air vent on the front of the compartment. This allows air into
the crisper, controls the humidity level and increases the shelf life of the food.
The circular ventilation slots at the back of the shelf should be opened if condensation
appears on the glass shelf.
Adjustable door shelf (on some models)
The adjustable shelves have six height settings to form the necessary storage zones.
To change the position of the adjustable door shelf:
Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the tabs located on its sides in the direction of the
arrow. (Image 1)

Move the shelf up and down to position it at the right height. When the shelf is in the desired
position, release the side tabs (Image 2). Before releasing the shelf, press up and down to
make sure it is properly in place.

NOTE:
Before moving, unload the shelf while holding the bottom
of the tray. Otherwise, the weight of the shelf might cause
it to be pulled out of its rails. This could damage the shelf
or rails.

Food storage
Refrigerator compartment
•
To decrease the level of humidity and prevent frost from forming, store food in the
refrigerator in closed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts where food
moisture evaporates, and over time your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• All cooked dishes should be covered when stored in the refrigerator. Do not place hot
food in the refrigerator. Wait until food has cooled, as the increased temperature and
humidity could cause the refrigerator to malfunction.
•
Ensure that no items stored in the fridge are in direct contact with the rear wall of the
appliance as frost may form and the packaging may stick to the rear wall. Do not open
the refrigerator door frequently.
•
Meat and gutted sh should be placed in a sealed container on the glass shelf just above
the vegetable crisper, where cooler air provides optimal conservation conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Store fruit and vegetables separately to prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (greens,
broccoli, carrots, etc.) being spoiled by fruits which release ethylene (bananas, peaches,
apricots, gs, etc.).
• Do not place vegetables in the refrigerator if they are damp.
•
The shelf life of all food items depends on their initial quality and on whether the
refrigeration cycle was uninterrupted before they were placed in the refrigerator.
•
Water dripping from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. Meat
products should be wrapped and any spillage on shelves should be cleaned.
• Take care not to place any food which might obstruct the airow.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
Avoid touching the temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. To maintain an
optimal storage temperature inside the refrigerator compartment, do not allow food to
come into contact with the temperature sensor.
• In normal conditions, simply set your refrigerator temperature to +4°C.
•
The temperature of the refrigerator compartment should be between 0 and 8°C. Fresh foods
below 0°C will freeze and rot, bacterial load increases above 8°C and food deteriorates.
•
Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, keep them outside until their
temperature drops. Hot food increase the temperature in the refrigerator and can thus
cause food poisoning or unnecessary food damage.
