NOTE :
▪ Turning the temperature control to "0" position stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the refrigerator.
▪ If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
▪ Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will
not start.
▪ If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
Do not leave the door open for too long so that the indoor temperature does not rise
too much.
"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.
5. FOOD CONSERVATION
PREPARING FOOD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR
Carefully wrap fresh foods: they will then keep their flavor, color, humidity content and freshness.
You also avoid the taste of some foods contaminating the taste of others. Only vegetables, fruit and
salad vegetables can be stored in the vegetable compartment without being packed. Let hot dishes
and drinks cool down outside the appliance. Remove the cardboard packs from around yoghurt pots.
Check the consume-by dates on the products you have bought. You should not exceed these.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some areas are colder than others and you
must store your food in the appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can be kept
safely.
Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different products
contaminating each other.
Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back of the appliance, this is a
particularly cold and damp area of the appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as
part of your refrigerator's normal operation.
The coldest area, indicated by the logo, is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly perishable
food: meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based
