CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Cooler
temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers, 1 to 5.
Important note:
Do not try to rotate knob beyond position 1, it will
stop your appliance from working.
• Set the knob to a low/medium position, up to 3, for short-
term storage of food in the appliance.
• Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or 4, for long-term
storage of food in the appliance.
• Set the knob to 5 position for freezing the fresh food. The
appliance will run for colder temperatures.
Note that:
The ambient temperature, the temperature of
freshly stored food, and how often the door is opened all
affect the temperature in the appliance. If required, change
the temperature setting.
Warnings for temperature settings
• The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required,change the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C .
• The thermostat setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the fresh food and freezer doors
are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator and the environment in which and the
positioning of the appliance.
• We recommend that when first using the fridge freezer it should be left running for 24 hours uninterrupted to
ensure it is completely cooled . Do not open the fridge doors, or put food inside for this period.
• Your fridge freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When
power is applied to your fridge freezer, it will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according
to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the
environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of cooling efficiency.
Information on NanoFrost Technology
Thanks to the wrap around evaporator, NanoFrost technology offers more efficient cooling, less manual defrost
requirement, and more flexible storage room.
Climate class and meaning:
T (tropical):
This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
ST (subtropical):
This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to
38 °C.
N (temperate):
This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to
32 °C.
SN (extended temperate):
This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from
10 °C to 32 °C.
Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in
the coldest area.
To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK”
appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set
properly
It may be difficult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.Each time the temperature setting device is
changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary,
with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively
and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE:
Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance,
it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up
of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded
appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until
compressor off periods are obtained again.

Low ambient Switch
(In some models)
(The images are representative)
Super freezing:
This switch shall be used as superfreeze switch.
For maximum freezing capacity, please turn on this switch
before 24 hours placing fresh food. After placing fresh food in
the freezer, 24 hours ON position is generally sufficient. In order
to save energy, please turn off this switch after 24 hours from
placingfresh food.
Winter Switch:
If ambiant temperature is below 16
o
C, this switch
shall be used as winter switch and it keeps your fridge above
0
o
C while freezer is below -18
o
C in low ambiants.
