temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly.
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash the inside of the cabinet with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When you use the fridge for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat control to the
maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the
normal position.
Setting the thermostat knob
The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the appliance, towards the upper
right‐hand corner. Turn the knob from the off (0) position towards the higher numbers for colder
temperatures. The knob can be adjusted from setting 1 to 7.
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of
the appliance.
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance so choose a
correct setting of the temperature control knob, depending on your ambient conditions.
In the STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), but power
supply is not interrupted.
Please Note:
• If the appliance is switched off you must wait for at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or
re‐inserting the plug into the wall outlet. This is to allow the protection device in the compressor to
reset.
• If the compressor fails to start correctly remove the plug and wait for 5 minutes before you try again
then the compressor should restart normally.
The storage temperature may be affected by:
• The room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
When you set the correct temperature, all these factors mentioned above shall be taken into account.
Storing fresh food
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat in the
fridge compartments for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the crisper.
Liquid storage
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.
NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affect the temperature in
the refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat temperature settings.
