PART 2: HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE Thermostat setting When lighting and thermostat are positioned on side Thermostat knob Lamb cover Thermostat control The fridge freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug out and then plug it in again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes. • Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
PART 3: FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days. • Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air. • Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator. • Always store food in closed containers or wrapped. • To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. • Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
Freezer compartment The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes. • When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; the packaging should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal. • To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle section.

PART 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE • Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning. • Do not clean the appliance by pouring water. • Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components. • The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. • Clean the accessories separately with soap and water Do not clean them in the dishwasher. • Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.
Defrosting Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment • Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation; the water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically. • The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of fl owing out. • You can also clean the drain hole by pouring ½ glass of water down it. Defrosting the Freezer Compartment • The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically.
