CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER

Control panel

Thermostat setting
Freezer and refrigerator thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments.
• There is a five minute delay function prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when you plug the
appliance in or when there is a power cut. 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.
Note: If ambient temperature is less than 25°C, the refrigerator
setting should be adjusted "between" "and MIDDLE position"
• If the ambient temperature is more than 25°C, the
refrigerator setting should be increased until temperature
reaches sufficient cooling levels.
• For optimum efficiencies the freezer setting should be in the middle position.
• In summer, if refrigerator is used where the ambient temperature is too high, you should adjust freezer termostat
as MAX position.

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 temperature has not been set
properly
It may be difficult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.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 build up
of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded
appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until
compressor off periods are obtained again.
Store 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 be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is
located at the level of 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.
Refrigerator Thermostat:
By rotating the knob position " " to "MAX" colder temperatures can be obtained. In cold
seasons, you can set to the lower positions in order to decrease the energy consumption.
Freezer Thermostat:
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between " " and medium position.
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium
position.
• When freezing fresh food ensure the appliance in set to the coolest conditions, but
remember to to position back to medium once initial freezing is completed.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments

• Your temperature adjustments will remain at the levels set if an energy breakdown
occurs.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than
10°C.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Wait for any adjustments to be made before changing the setting again.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours without interruption after being
plugged in so it is completely cooled. Do not open the doors of your fridge and do
not place food inside during this period.
