Larders (coolers) have not any freezer
compartment but can cool up to
4 - 6 °C.
3.2 Temperature Settings Warnings
• 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.
• It is not recommended that you operate
your fridge in environments colder than
10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into
consideration how often the appliance
door is opened and closed, how much
food is stored in the refrigerator, and the
environment in which the refrigerator is
located.
• When the appliance is first switched on,
allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During this
time, do not open the door and do not
keep a large quantity of food inside.
• Unplug your appliance during a power cut
to prevent damage to the compressor.
Once power is restored, delay plugging
in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes.
This will help prevent damage to the
appliance's components.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature ranges stated
in the standards, according to the climate
class stated in the information label. It
is not recommended that your fridge is
operated in the environments which are
outside of the stated temperature ranges.
This will reduce the cooling efficiency of
the appliance.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C
- 43°C) intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class displayed
on the information label. We do not
recommend operating your appliance out
of the stated temperature limits in terms
of cooling effectiveness.
