Operation; First Use - IKEA SVALKAS Manual

ENGLISH

Operation

Switching on
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
clockwise to a medium setting.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
temperature regulator to the "0" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is regulated automatically.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
However, the exact setting
should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature inside
the appliance depends on:
• room temperature,
• how often the door is opened,
• the quantity of food stored,
• the location of the appliance.

First use

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
the interior and all internal accessories
should be washed with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then
dried thoroughly.
Caution! If the ambient
temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form
on the rear wall. In this case the
dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.
Caution! Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine or
oil-based cleaners as they will
damage the finish.
