Additional information on the temperature
• The temperature inside the appliance is influenced by many factors.
How you set the temperature control dial depends on the ambient
temperature, sun exposure, how often you open the door and the
amount of food stored. The middle setting of the dial is most optimal
in most cases.
• Do not put food into the fridge freezer before it has reached its oper-
ating temperature, which takes minimum 4 hours.
• Do not change the temperature settings due to the change in the
season of the year. The ambient temperature increase will be detect-
ed by the sensor and the compressor will be switched on automati-
cally for a longer period of time in order to maintain the temperature
set inside the chambers.
• The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal and may oc-
cur, for instance during the storage of great quantities of fresh prod-
ucts in the fridge, or when the door is open for a longer period of
time. This will not affect the condition of the stored foodstuff, and the
temperature will quickly return to its set value.
DEFROSTING
In order to defrost the freezer chamber, you must take the fol-
lowing steps (Fig. 20):
• Set the knob at ”OFF” / „0“ position, take out the plug from the mains
socket.
• Open the lid and remove the food from the freezer.
• After about 0.5h, it is possible to remove the white frost or water
from the smooth wall surfaces.
• There is a water conduit at the bottom of the freezer, when defrost-
ing, extract the rubber cover, de frosted water
will drip into the hole and flow out. (NOTES: PLEASE KEEP THE RUB-
BER COVER WELL DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT BACK AF-
TER DEFROSTING IS DONE )
• Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be
seen.
• Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
• After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming
out before out the water conduit in place and make the
arrow point upward.
• Wash the interior of the freezer and wipe it dry.
• Switch on the appliance as per the relevant point in the manual.
