Warnings About Temperature Adjustments
• 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, the quantity of food
kept inside the fridge and ambient temperature of the placement of your fridge.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after
being plugged in, this is so it is completely cooled. Do not open the doors of your fridge and do not place food
inside it during this period.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the
plug out and then plug it back in again after an energy breakdown has occurred. 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 the stated
temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 10°C - 43°C range.

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.
