LOCATION
Allow the following minimum space to ensure adequate air
circulation, especially if the appliance is going to be next to a
wall: 5 cm on each side, 10 cm at the back, and 5 to 10 cm on
top. Allowing sufficient space will also avoid any noise caused
by the refrigerator coming into contact with a wall.
Do not install the refrigerator near heat sources like stoves,
radiators, or in direct sunlight, as this will cause it to overwork
and be less efficient, thereby increasing its consumption of
electrical energy.
LEVELING
Use the two leveling screws to level the refrigerator. Insert and
adjust them so that they rest firmly on the floor.
The front of the refrigerator should rest a little higher than the
rear (leaned slightly backwards), thereby facilitating the
automatic closing of the doors and preventing temperature
loss.
Some models have covers over the leveling legs, which can be
removed.
FIRST CONNECTION
• Once your refrigerator is in place, wait 4 to 6 hours before
connecting it so that the gas and the compressor oil settle.
• Before connecting the refrigerator, turn the refrigerator
temperature control or adjust the temperature level of the
display to mid-position (between 4 and 6).
• Connect the plug to the wall AC outlet.
• Allow it to operate empty and with the doors closed for 4
hours before loading with food.
• Avoid opening the door so that it can reach the desired
temperature.
• If you want to place your refrigerator in another location,
disconnect it before moving.
• Once it is in its new location, repeat the aforementioned steps.

How to operate temperature controls
The temperatures in the freezer and fresh food compartments can be individually
regulated by temperature controls in each area.
The freezer control has maximum, medium and minimum levels, which adjust the
flow of cool air. The fresh food section control allows the regulation of the
temperature between levels 1 (less cold) and 9 (coldest).
Temperature control
To obtain the desired temperature in the fresh food and freezer sections, follow
these instructions:
1.
Start with the original settings from factory (medium position on both controls).
Leave your refrigerator functioning for 6 hours to get the temperature stabilized.
If you need to change the temperature, readjust controls.
2
.
The fresh food section control has different levels from 1 (less cold) to 9 (coldest).
If necessary, adjust this control and observe foods over a few hours. You can
continue to make adjustments until reaching the right cooling level.
For some models:
3.
The freezer control has maximum, medium and minimum levels. It refers to the
amount of air that will flow to the refrigerator compartment. The lower the airflow
into the freezer, the faster the fresh food section will reach the selected
temperature.
Applies to all models:
Note:
1.
Product performance is affected by room temperature and the number of times
you open the door.
2
.
No food must be placed at the outlets of cool air coming from the fresh food
section. Allowing an adequate airflow to the inside will avoid freezing of certain
products.
3.
Your external control is able to detect a failure in the electronic system, which will
be indicated by the letter “F”. When the above happens, please call your
Authorized Service Center.
4.
Refrigerator temperature varies depending on the room temperature.
