material and promotional stickers. Keep the material (plastic, polystyrene and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the
appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface. Make
sure there is enough open space around the appliance for the intake and/or outlet vents. A minimum clearance of 10 cm is required
between the appliance and any adjacent walls. The appliance needs good ventilation for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency
of refrigeration and low power consumption. Note: check the climat class of the appliance. When installing the appliance in a

The appliance features both internal and external controls. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COOLING COMPARTMENT
The thermostat for the cooling compartment is placed on the exterior of the appliance. Press the
temperature button
[1]
repeatedly to set the desired temperature. There are six temperature settings.
2°C
is the coldest and the setting
SUPER
turns the appliance cold rapidly.
We advise to set the appliance on the temperature setting
4°C
when using the appliance at normal room
temperature.
The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Do not place anything in
the appliance until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat
at the desired setting and place food into the refrigerator.
Set the appliance on a lower temperature setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the
temperature inside the appliance.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The thermostat of the freezer compartment can be found on the inside of the cooling compartment behind
the crisp drawer.
There are three settings. The setting
WINTER
is the coldest. Turn the thermostat knob
[2]
to the desired
setting.
The recommended position is
NORMAL
when using the appliance at normal room temperature.
The recommended position is between
NORMAL
and
WINTER
for colder working environments and
between
NORMAL
and
SOMMER
for hotter environments.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal temperature.
These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
• Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• Leave sufficient space between the food to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them, avoid
puttin food items in contact with each other.
• Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the appliance. The shelves have a stop to avoid this.
• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.
