The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in-
side the appliance
min - less cold
max - colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement
and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling
area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator
compart-ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel
may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending
on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given
time. Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is
operating normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while
the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature
is high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the
formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to
an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob
to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto-
matically.
Storing food in the Refrigerator Compartment
Food Storage time Location in the Refrigerator
Wrapped meat and cleavec fish
(use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags) 2 or 3 days

On the shelf above the vegetable crisper
(which is the coldest area).
Eggs 1 month In special egg tray on any shelf

What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier.
This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed
above the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum
storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain
edible for any extended amount of time.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of mois-
ture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods are not stored any
longer than raw food.
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient,
removable shelves which can be adjusted for height using
the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large con-
tainers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or
other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the
back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-
crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of
condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult
a specialized manual.
- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power
failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in
temperature within the compartment. If the door is not
opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their
