Appliance control buttons

Use your appliance taking the following controls into account. Your appliance has the functions and modes shown in the illustrations below.

Temperature control

• Insufficient refrigeration: Set the temperature control to a colder setting.
• Normal use of the refrigerator: Set the temperature control to 5.

IMPORTANT:

High room temperatures (e.g. in summer) and low temperature settings can lead to continuous operation of the compressor!

We do not recommend turning the temperature control to "Colder" or "Cold" under normal conditions. This is because when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to keep the appliance's temperature low.

Freezer temperature control

The temperature control allows you to adjust the temperature inside the freezer.

• If you have a lot of food to freeze: Turn the temperature control to the "Colder" position.
• Under normal conditions: Set the temperature control to 4.
• If you don't have a lot of food to freeze: turn the temperature control to the "Cold" position.

IMPORTANT:

We do not recommend setting the temperature control to the "Colder" or "Cold" position under normal conditions.

IMPORTANT:

Do not place too much food directly against the air outlet of the temperature sensor as this may affect the operation of the appliance.

IMPORTANT:

If 2 or 4 stars appear on the top door, the freezer compartment is divided into two sections. One will correspond to the 2-star compartment and the other to the 4-star section, as shown below.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Your appliance is equipped with the accessories listed in the section, "Description of the appliance". The following instructions will help you to use them correctly.

Door shelves

• Door shelves are suitable for storing eggs, bottled or canned drinks, packaged foods, etc. Do not store any heavy items in this area.
• The intermediate compartment can be placed in different places according to your needs. Please remove the food before repositioning it.

Note: Egg racks are available in the upper compartment and bottle holders in the lower compartment.

Refrigerator shelves

• The shelves in the refrigerator can be removed for cleaning.

Cool zone drawer (not available on some models)

• The temperature is 2 to 3^ lower than in the rest of the refrigerator.

• This area is intended for storing fish, meat or other perishable foods.

Vegetable compartment (crisper) door (not available on some models)

• It controls the temperature and humidity of the crisp.

Vegetable crisper

• It is intended for the storage of fruit and vegetables.

The vegetable crisper and humidity control (not available on some models)

• Mounted on a sliding extension, the crisper is designed to store vegetables and fruit. Adjust the humidity using the sliding adjustment block.
• The sliding adjustment block on the crisper can be moved to cover or uncover the ventilation holes. More ventilation means less moisture. Conversely, less ventilation will lead to more moisture.
• We recommend increased humidity for vegetables and reduced humidity for fruit.

• To remove the crisper, pull it towards you and then lift it. Don't forget to take all the food out first. Be sure to push the runners back in completely once the drawer has been removed.

temperature indicator

To help set the temperature correctly, your appliance's temperature sensor is located in the coldest zone.

For proper food storage in your refrigerator and particularly in the coldest zone, make sure the temperature indicator displays "OK"

The symbol above

indicates the top of the coldest area in your refrigerator.

If "OK" does not appear, the average temperature of the zone is too high. Set the thermostat to a colder setting.

Whenever you change the temperature thermostat setting in the appliance, wait for the temperature to stabilise before making any further changes. Change the thermostat position only gradually and wait at least 12 hours before rechecking.

NOTE: After loading the appliance with fresh food or opening the door repeatedly or leaving it open for a prolonged period, it is normal that the word “OK” does not appear in the temperature indicator; Wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat.

Energy-saving advice

Follow the energy-saving guidelines below:

• In order to conserve energy, try not to leave the door open for too long.
• Make sure that the appliance is located away from any source of heat (direct sunlight, electric heating, kitchen utensils, etc.)
• Do not set the appliance to a colder temperature than necessary.
• Do not store hot food or liquids that will evaporate in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well-ventilated room free of moisture. Please refer to the section on installing your appliance.
• Follow the recommendations in the illustration for the position of shelves and compartments in the appliance. These are the ideal positions to save energy.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly in the refrigerator or freezer, as this would increase the inside temperature, making the compressor work harder and therefore consume more energy.
• Cover or wrap food, especially if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food in the refrigerator correctly so that air can circulate freely.

Refrigeration Tips

• Meat (all types):

Wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable crisper.

Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:

Cooked and cold food should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables:

Should be kept in the compartment provided for this purpose.

Butter and cheese:

Wrap them in aluminium foil or cling film.

Milk:

Keep in the door compartments.

Freezing Tips

• Before plugging the appliance into the electrical outlet for the first time, please leave it to remain static and upright for two hours if it was transported in the upright position, or 24 hours if it was transported horizontally. This is to allow the refrigerant gas to settle back down into the compressor. Not respecting this waiting period may damage the compressor.
• Prepare food in small portions so that it will freeze quickly and so that only the required amount can be defrosted.
• Wrap in aluminium foil or cling film.
• Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with already frozen food as this may increase the temperature of the frozen food.
• Frozen products can cause cold burns if consumed immediately after removing them from the freezer.
• It is recommended to date all frozen items, in order to keep track of their shelf life.

Tips for storing frozen food.

• Make sure that the frozen product has been properly stored by the vendor.
• Once thawed, frozen food spoils quickly and cannot be refrozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
