HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR 
COMPARTMENT

This appliance is a refrigerator with a 4 star 

 freezer 

compartment.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is performed 
automatically.
The refrigerator can operate in room temperatures between 
+10° C and +38° C. Optimal performance of the appliance 
depends on the climatic class, which is indicated on the rating 
plate.

Switching on the appliance

Plug in the appliance.
The thermostat knob in the refrigerator compartment serves to 
adjust the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer 
compartment if your appliance is equipped with a single 
compressor.
Refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment temperature 
adjustment is independent in the case of appliances with two 
compressors (see product description sheet).

Temperature adjustment

1. To ensure correct operation and the best possible food 

storage in both compartments, set the thermostat in 
accordance with the indications on the enclosed 
product description sheet.

2. To alter the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer 

compartments set the thermostat knob to:
•lower numbers 1-2 (MIN) if you want to INCREASE the 

temperature;

•higher numbers 5-7 (MAX) if you want to DECREASE 

the temperature.

Thermostat setting 

z

 switches off all functions of the appliance 

including the interior light.

Note:
The room air temperature, the number of times the door is 
opened and the position of the appliance will affect the 
temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Take 
these factors into consideration when you set the thermostat. For 
example if the machine is operated in a room with high 
temperature you may need to set the thermostat to a low number.

Notes:
• 
The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator 

compartment must be unobstructed to allow air circulation.

• Do not place the food in direct contact with the rear wall of the 

refrigerator compartment.

• Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.
• Store liquids in closed containers.
• Storage of vegetables with high water contents can lead to the 

formation of condensation: this will not affect the correct 
operation of the appliance.
