Temperature control:
The temperature of the refrigerator and freezer is lower when the
cursor position is adjusted from MIN to MAX�
After some uses, the freezer’s thermostat button may ice over if
there is too much water or if the door is opened a lot� This will
make it more difficult to adjust the temperature� If this happens,
do not try and force the button as this could damage it – instead,
heat it up using a cloth soaked in hot water until it has defrosted�
Installation

before it is turned on for the first time to allow the system to set-
tle� Do not position next to any heat source e�g� cooker, boiler or
in direct sunlight etc�
Allow at least 10cm of space at the top and 10 cm of space on
both sides of the appliance and between the back of the appli-
ance and the wall for adequate air circulation� The appliance is
not designed for recessed installation (“building in”)�
