5.USE

First use
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
• Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
• After transport, unpacking and installation, let the appliance rest at least 2 hours in
vertical position before connecting to the power supply.
• Let the appliance run for at least 2 hours before inserting fresh or frozen foods.
Temperature setting
The internal temperature is controlled by the thermostat at the side wall of the refrigerator
compartment.
The marks on the knob are the temperature grades and are
not the temperature degrees. "OFF" is a forced stop and "7"
shows the lowest temperature. The numbers from "1" to "7"
shows a temperature decrease from the highest to the lowest.
You may set the temperature control selector to any position
as needed. In normal use, set the selector to the "4" position.
Temperature indicator
In order to help you get the correct setting of the appliance, the appliance is equipped
with a temperature gauge which is placed in the coldest area.
This symbol indicates the coldest part of the refrigerator. It defines the highest
level of this zone.
Make sure the temperature indicator placed in the coldest area shows
"OK". If "OK" is not displayed, this indicates that the average temperature
in this area will become high.
If the OK" indicator is not displayed, you should adjust the temperature lower and observe
the following points.
• Wait until stabilization of the internal temperature of the appliance before a temperature
adjustment. Change the settings of the thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours
to see whether a further temperature adjustment is needed.
• If food is added in the appliance or repeated/prolonged door opening occurs, it is
normal that the "OK" indicator is not displayed. In this case, wait at least 12 hours
before adjusting the temperature lower.
