Ensure that the objects placed in the
refrigerator are suitable for cooling to the
selected temperature.
To switch the refrigerator on:
1. Locate the furniture mounted switch, found
close to the refrigerator, and switch ON.
2. Locate the control dial within the fridge (see
image below) and turn clockwise.
Note:
After switching on, the refrigerator
requires approx. 60 s until the compressor
starts up.
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature to any level using
the control knob. The built-in thermostat
regulates the temperature as follows:
1 least cooling
7 most cooling
The cooling capacity can be influenced by:
• the ambient temperature
• the amount of food to be conserved
• the frequency with which the door is opened.
Conserving foodstuffs
You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
The time for which the food can be conserved
in this way is usually stated on the package.
Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator.
Do not place glass containers containing liquid
in the freezer compartment. Food which can
easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids
and products with a high alcohol content
should be conserved in airtight containers.
The refrigerator is divided in different zones
with different temperatures:
• The colder zones are immediately above the
drawers for fruit and vegetables, near the
back wall.
• Observe the temperature information and
best before date on the food packaging.
Observe the following when using
the refrigerator:
• Never re-freeze products which have started
defrosting or have been defrosted, but
consume them as soon as possible.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and
shut in a suitable box with a lid. This ensures
that aromas, the shape and the freshness
will be better conserved.
Defrosting the refrigerator
The appliance has two options to remove the
condensation resulting from operation:
• pass it directly outside: Remove the
drip-tray (1). Connect a hose (2) to the
outlet connections (3).
• collect in the drip-tray: Empty the drip-tray
(1) as required.
Defrosting the freezer
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice
or to loosen objects which have frozen
in place.
To defrost the refrigerator, proceed as follows:
• Take the contents out.
• If necessary, place the contents in another
cooling appliance, to keep them cool.
• Set the temperature control knob to ‘0’.
• Leave the door open.
