usage
The control unit of the appliance is located on the inside. Check that the thermostat is off in position 0. Check that the
voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate and insert the plug in the socket.
Adjusting the temperature
By means of the thermostat you are able to change the
temperature in the refrigerator. The possible positions of
the thermostat:
Switch off appliance – position 0
Maximum temperature – position 1 (least cold)
Optimum temperature – positions 2-5
Minimum temperature – position 7 (coldest)
Set the temperature with the thermostat and select a position between 1 and 7. We recommend setting the appliance to
position 4. The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to
reach the required temperature with no food. Usually this will take 2 to 3 hours. After that, you can set the thermostat to the
required position and fill the appliance with food.
Only use highest position 7 for making ice cubes, or at the beginning when placing new frozen products in the freezer
section.
Internal temperature of the refrigerator
Adjusting the temperature to the changing seasons is not recommended. The increase in ambient temperature is detected
by the sensor and the compressor will automatically work longer to maintain the required internal temperature.
Minor changes in temperature
Minor changes in temperature are normal and can be caused by storing a large number of fresh products in the freezer, or
by leaving the door open for a longer period of time. The food is not affected, and the temperature quickly returns to the
normal value.
Set the thermostat to position 0 to switch off the appliance.
Attention:
The ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door and the position of the appliance have an effect on the
temperature in the appliance. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.
• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the
appliance, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance. The shelves have a stopper to prevent this.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.

tips
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct
sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it
as soon as possible.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the
cool air to circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
