CHAPTER 2.
USAGE INFORMATION
Before Using your Fridge
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep
it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the
mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the
compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time.
This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to
cool.
Thermostat Setting
Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool below 5°C.
The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator. By rotating
the knob from position « 1 » to « 5 », colder temperatures can be obtained.
Important note:
Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position « 1 » as it will stop your
appliance.
• For short-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set the knob
between minimum and medium position.(1-3)
• For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set knob to
medium position.(3-4)
•
Note that; 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.
• Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool below 5°C.
• When you first switch on the appliance, allow it to operate for 24 hours continuously to
cool down to the correct temperature.

appliance.
• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging
the appliance in or restarting it in order not to damage the compressor.
