HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE PART 2.
Thermostat setting
Thermostat automatically regulates the inside
temperature of the refrigerator compartment
and freezer compartment. By rotating the knob
from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be
obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
• The “ “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between
minimum and medium position (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium
position.(3-4)
• Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
If required, change the temperature setting.
• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food
in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put
much food inside.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
in order not to damage the compressor.
• The freezer of the refrigerator cools down to -18°C and less.
Before Using your Fridge
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efficient
operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.
“Door Open” Indicator;
• The “Door Open” indicator on the lock slide indicates whether the door
is closed properly or not.
• If the red indicator is visible, the door is still open.
• If the red indicator is invisible, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer door should always be kept closed properly.
This will prevent food inside the freezer from defrosting; it will avoid
heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary
increase in energy consumption.
