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. Make sure the appliance is placed in a level horizontal position by screwing in
the two adjustable front legs. Do not place the appliance next to radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct sunlight.

The appliance features internal controls. Check whether the thermostat (
1
) is set on OFF. Check that the voltage in your
home corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket.
Set the temperature with the thermostat (
1
) and choose a setting between 1 and 6. We advise to set the appliance on setting
3 or 4.
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 higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the
appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat (2) to OFF.
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.
• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.
