GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE
NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered, leave it to stand
in its upright position for approximately 3 hours, be-
fore plugging it into the mains and switching on, to
ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and to save energy.
Before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the
interior well with warm water and baking soda.
After plugging the appliance into the socket, make sure that
the light is on inside the appliance and then turn the tem-
perature control (
A
) to the “
3
” setting. After a few hours
have passed, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator.
The temperature control automatically regulates the
temperature inside the appliance
1
= minimum cold temperature
5
= maximum cold temperature
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and
improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area”
located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart-
ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on
whether the compressor is operating or not.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat-
ing normally.
If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem-
perature high, the appliance may run continuously, result-
ing in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This
will lead to an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the temperature con-
trol to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts
automatically.
