The temperature is automatically
regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as
follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator
towards lower settings to obtain the

4. FIRST USE

4.1 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

5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen

to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully
loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest
temperature, 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 or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.
