Manual control
Adjust the temperature control
The temperature control is in the refrigerator. It controls
the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments:
When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time:
• Set the temperature control to 3 (normal). Temperature
control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest)
(figure 1).
• Turning the temperature control to Apagado (Off) stops
cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. But it does not disconnect the
refrigerator from the power supply.
• Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. This could take several
hours.
• Adjust the temperature control to have food as cold as you like. The settings indicated above
should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage.

How to install the refrigerator
Before connecting the new refrigerator follow these steps:
1.
Remove all packing material.
2.
Install your refrigerator under the following conditions:
•
Allow 7,5 cm (3 inches) between overhead cabinets and
refrigerator top.
•
Allow at least 5 cm (2 inches) between the refrigerator condenser
on the back and the wall.
•
Allow 1,25 cm (1/2") on each side of the refrigerator for ease of
installation.
•
If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be against the wall, you
might want to leave extra space so the door can be opened
wider.
3.
Levelling the refrigerator.
• If your refrigerator has levelling screws only, follow the steps
shown in figure 1.
• If your refrigerator has rollers with levelling screws, follow the
steps shown in figure 2.
• To raise or lower the front of the refrigerator, turn each screw in
a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (figure 1 or 2).
• For greater levelling accuracy you should place a spirit level on
the upper surface of the refrigerator.
• It is recommended to incline lightly back the refrigerator in order
to let the door close by itself.
4.
Before starting the refrigeration process allow the refrigerator to rest from 2 to
3 hours in order to let the gas and oil be settled.
Connecting your refrigerator
A 220-240 V~ , 50-60 Hz AC only 10 A fused and properly grounded electrical
supply is required.
Grounding method
Your refrigerator has an electrical cord provided
with 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize the
possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be
plugged into a mating 3 prong grounding type wall
outlet according to national electrical code and all
local codes.
If plug will not fit the outlet, is your responsibility
to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
