Disposal
The European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and
reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
COLDEST ZONE IN THE REFRIGERATOR
This symbol indicates the location of the coldest zone of the refrigerator, The area
is bounded below by the glass crisper, and above by the symbol or the rack
positioned at the same height.
To ensure the temperatures in this area, do not change the positioning of the shelf. In forced air
refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the symbol of the coldest zone is not
represented because the temperature inside is homogeneous.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR SETTING
To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will monitor
the average temperature in the coldest zone.
WARNING: This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, do not use it in another
refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use.
CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST ZONE
With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone
is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors such as
the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and the frequency of door
opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.
When the indicator shows « OK », this means that your thermostat is well adjusted and the
internal tempreature correct.
If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is too high; in this
case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before
performing a new visual inspection of the indicator.
When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the
indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
