Before Using your Fridge
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation,
keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging
into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents
damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the
smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

Thermostat Setting
Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool below 5°C.
The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator. By rotating
the knob from position « 1 » to « 5 », colder temperatures can be obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position « 1 » as it will stop your
appliance.
• For short-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set the knob
between minimum and medium position. (1-3)
• For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set the knob to
the medium position. (3-4)

the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required,
change the temperature setting.
