how to operate the appliance
THERMOSTAT SETTING
The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the
compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures
can be obtained. Note: rotating the knob beyond position 1 to "�" will stop the
appliance.
THERMOSTAT SETTING FOR THE COOLING COMPARTMENT
1-2:
for short-term storage of food in the cooling compartment, you can set the knob between the minimum and
medium position.
3-4:
for long-term storage of food in the cooling compartment, you can set the knob to the medium position.
5:
for storing fresh food. The appliance will run for colder temperatures.
Set the thermostat on setting 3. The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Do
not place anything in the refrigerator until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the
thermostat at the desired setting and place food into the refrigerator.
Attention:
The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal
temperature. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of
explosion.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance, when you take the
plug out and then plug it in again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your appliance will start to operate
normally after 5 minutes.

food storage in the appliance
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around the
food to allow the air to circulate.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of
explosion.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped. To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids
in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable drawer,
where the air is cooler.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into the vegetable drawer without the packaging.
• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often and not leave the door open for a long time.
