HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
PART 2.
Thermostat setting
•
The thermostat automatically regulates the
inside temperature of the fridge. By rotating the knob
from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be
obtained.
•
The “ • “ position shows thermostat is closed
and no cooling will take place.
•
For short-term storage of food in the fridge,
you can set the knob between minimum and medium positions (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set knob to the 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 fridge. 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 store a large
quantity of food inside it.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
in order not to damage the compressor.
LARDERS (without star rating): Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but
can cool down to 4 - 6°C.
Warnings about temperature adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in
terms of its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings
and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature
without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors
of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not
recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of
cooling effectiveness.
