Attention :
If the appliance has been delivered to your home in a horizontal position, stand it upright and then wait
2 hours before plugging it in. A small amount of oil may have flowed into the refrigeration circuit, and
you must allow time for this to flow back towards the motor before connecting the appliance. Failure to
do so may damage the appliance.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see the section on "Installing your appliance") before
connecting your appliance to the electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any
maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on the power cable.
4 USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
MANIPULATING THERMOSTAT
To adjust the temperature, set the thermostat knob on one of the surrounding figures. Position 1 corresponds
to the least cold setting, the higher the number, the colder the temperature setting. When the thermostat is in
position "0" your refrigerator is off .The appliance is always powered.
"COLD ZONE" SYMBOLS (Depending on models)
You will find the symbol opposite in your refrigerator. It clearly shows the location of your
appliance's coldest zone: the temperature here is + 4°C or less. A temperature indicator here enables
you to check that your refrigerator is working correctly.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR (Depending on models)
Temperature to set
Correct temperature
Attention:
Prolonged opening of the door will cause the internal temperature to rise. You must therefore read the
indicator within 30 seconds of the door being opened for the reading to be correct.
Setting the temperature
When putting your appliance into service, set the thermostat to a medium position. Check the temperature
indicator 4 hours after putting your appliance into service, or after any change in the thermostat setting,
observe the temperature light:
- If the indicator is still black, lower the temperature gradually by selecting a higher number around the
thermostat and checking the temperature indicator again after 4 hours. Repeat this operation as many times
as necessary.
- If the indicator goes green and "OK" is indicated, the temperature in your refrigerator is correctly set.
