HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
This appliance is a refrigerator with a 4 star
freezer
compartment.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is performed
automatically.
The refrigerator can operate in room temperatures between
+10° C and +38° C. Optimal performance of the appliance
depends on the climatic class, which is indicated on the rating
plate.
Switching on the appliance
Plug in the appliance.
The thermostat knob in the refrigerator compartment serves to
adjust the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer
compartment if your appliance is equipped with a single
compressor.
Refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment temperature
adjustment is independent in the case of appliances with two
compressors (see product description sheet).
Temperature adjustment
1. To ensure correct operation and the best possible food
storage in both compartments, set the thermostat in
accordance with the indications on the enclosed
product description sheet.
2. To alter the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments set the thermostat knob to:
•lower numbers 1-2 (MIN) if you want to INCREASE the
temperature;
•higher numbers 5-7 (MAX) if you want to DECREASE
the temperature.

including the interior light.
Note:
The room air temperature, the number of times the door is
opened and the position of the appliance will affect the
temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Take
these factors into consideration when you set the thermostat. For
example if the machine is operated in a room with high
temperature you may need to set the thermostat to a low number.
