Use of the refrigerator
Temperature regulation
To start the appliance, turn the thermostat knob,
located inside the compartment, to the required
position. This thermostat has six operating positions
and an «0» (Stop) position. The higher the number
selected, the lower the temperature in the
refrigerator. When first starting up the appliance, an
initial setting of 3 or 4 is recommended. The
temperature inside the compartment depends on a
number of factors, such as the ambient temperature,
the amount of food stored in the appliance, the
frequency with which the door is opened, the
location of the appliance in the room, etc. These
factors must be taken into account when setting the
thermostat. To stop the appliance, turn the
thermostat knob to the «O» position. The freezer
compartment will continue to operate.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat
knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a
warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in electricity
consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
•
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator;
•
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
•
Position food so that air can circulate freely round
it.
