OPERATION
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by
a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (
O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position; the
intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-
4).
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 fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible
that because a very low temperature has been
selected, 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.
Storing deep-frozen foods
The compartment marked reaches a
temperature of –18°C and is therefore suitable for
storing ice-creams and deep-frozen food.
For best use of the compartment, the
following points shoud be noted: ensure that the deep-
frozen products have been correctly stored by the
shop-keeper; keep transport times from the shop to
your home to a minimum; do not exceed the storage
period specified by the manufacturer; when the
freezer has not been used for some time; run it for at
least two hours with the thermostat dial set to the
lowest temperature before placing food inside and
then reset to normal operation; do not open the door if
there is a power failure. If the compartment is
full and the failure does not last long, the food will not
be affected; otherwise, you are advised to consume it
soon after.
Ice cubes
Refrigerators with the compartment are
provided with an ice cube tray.
This tray must be filled with drinking water and
placed in the compartment.
Never use metal tools to detach the tray.
