The front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm in order to
avoid condensation.
A damaged power cable must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Extension cables and multiway plugs
must not be used for connection.
A damaged refrigerator must not be
operated before it is repaired! There is
danger of an electric shock!
Important!
Care must be taken while cleaning/
carrying the refrigerator not to touch the
bottom of the condenser metal wires at
the back of the refrigerator, as this
could cause injury.
DEFY declines to accept any liability
should the instructions not be followed.
Adjusting the feet
The refrigerator may move if the adjustable legs are
not properly levelled on the floor.
Levelling the adjustable legs on the floor:
Level your refrigerator by turning the front legs as
shown in the illustration.
The corner where the legs are is lowered when the
leg is turned in the direction of the black arrow and
raised when turned in the opposite direction. Having
someone to carefully assist in tilting the refrigerator
slightly will help facilitate this process.
Energy saving tips
• Ensure your refrigerator is installed in a well
ventilated area. If the ambient temperature is low
(but in no case lower than 5°C), then the energy
saving will be more. Do not install your refrigerator
under direct sunlight or near heat emitting
appliances such as ovens, dishwashers or
radiators. Keep food in closed containers.
• Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen
food and placing it in the refrigerator is kept at a
minimum, particularly in summer. Use a cooler bag
or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.
• Do not leave the door(s) of the refrigerator open
for long and ensure they are closed properly after
each opening.
• Defrost your refrigerator regularly.
• Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so
that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist
cooling in the fridge. This will provide energy
saving and preserve the food quality.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in your refrigerator.
• Do not overload your refrigerator. This restricts
effective air circulation in the refrigerator.
• Pay attention to keep your food in closed
containers.

Using your refrigerator
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the ceiling
of the fridge compartment. Settings may be made
from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest position. When the
appliance is switched on for the first time, the
thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours,
the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°
C. Set the thermostat half way between the 1 and 5
setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature
i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder fridge
temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the
fridge may be cooler or warmer. (such as the salad
crisper and the top part of the cabinet). This is quite
normal.
