4 USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
MANIPULATING THERMOSTAT
To adjust the temperature, set the
thermostat knob on one of the sur-
rounding figures. Position 1 corres-
ponds to the least cold setting, the
higher the number, the colder the
temperature setting. When the ther-
mostat is in position “0” your refrige-
rator 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 tem-
perature 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 opera-
tion as many times as necessary.
- If the indicator goes green and "OK" is indicated, the tempera-
ture in your refrigerator is correctly set.
Advise:
Your refrigerator's internal temperature is closely linked to
the ambient temperature, how frequently the door is opened
and the amount and temperature of the food you have put in
your refrigerator. You must therefore check the temperature
indicator regularly and adjust the setting if necessary, as
explained above.
AIR COOLING SYSTEM: Regulated Cold
Your appliance is equipped with a cold air ventilation system.
A distribution column directs the air to every level, providing a
very homogeneous temperature and avoiding any condensation
forming on the shelves.
PREPARING FOOD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR
Carefully wrap fresh foods: they will then keep their flavour,
colour, humidity content and freshness. You also avoid the taste
of some foods contaminating the taste of others. Only vegeta-
bles, 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 circu-
late 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 dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches,
fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables
sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any fresh product
whose consume-by date is linked to its storage at a temperature
of +4°C or below.
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING
The refrigerator section of your appliance defrosts fully automa-
tically. The water created by defrosting flows to a collection tank
situated over the motor.
The heat the motor releases evaporates the contents of this
tank. It is quite normal for droplets of water or frost to appear on
the wall at the back of your refrigerator. This is a particularly cold
and damp area in your appliance and water droplets and frost
condense out as part of your appliance's normal operation. This
frost is removed regularly during your refrigerator's automatic
defrosting phases.
