CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER

Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. Cooler temperatures can
be obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers, 1 to 5.
Thermostat settings:
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment.
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment.
5: For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work longer. Once
the food is fully frozen, reset the thermostat to its original position.
Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food
kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, do not open
the doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient
temperature, it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or
disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after
5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature (T/N = 16°C - 43°C)
standards, according to the climate class displayed on the
information label. We do not recommend operating your
appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of
cooling effectiveness.
Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in
the coldest area.
To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message "OK"
appears on the temperature indicator. If "OK" does not appear, this means that the temperature setting has
not been done properly.
Since "OK" appears in black, it will be difficult to see this indication if the temperature indicator is badly lit. To
be able to see this indication properly, there should be enough light.
Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance
before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting
device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it
is normal for the indication "OK" not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal ice crystals
build-up (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room
temperature, frequent door openings), set the temperature setting device to a lower position until compressor off
periods are obtained again.
Putting food in the coldest area of the refrigerator
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate
cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper.
The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator.
To ensure a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at
the the same level as this symbol, as shown in the illustration.
The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of
the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head.
The coldest area is below this level.
As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these
zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area.
