Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
The thermostat switch (C) will be pre-set and the
operating pilot light (D) will illuminate.
If the thermostat switch is in the OFF (
O
) position,
use a coin to turn the switch to between position 3
and 4 and the operating pilot light will illuminate.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer
is regulated by a single thermostat with 6
temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position;
the intermediate position is usually the most suitable.
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigerator compartment depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
If the refrigerator is not defrosting correctly, it is
possible that because a very low temperature has
been selected and the motor is working
continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from
operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is
correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn
the thermostat to a higher number, however you
should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow
automatic defrosting.
Ambient temperature switch
With a room temperature below +16°C the
refrigerator compartment may not function
correctly. If the room temperature is lower than
+16°C it will be necessary to turn knob (B) to the
« I » position. The relevant pilot light (A) comes on.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting
when freezing fresh food.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer (H) as this is the coldest part.
Caution
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and if
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the
food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and
must not be re-frozen.
