- Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.

- The “0” position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.

- For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position (1-3).

- For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob 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 and freezer compartments. If required, change the temperature setting.

- When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put much food inside.

- If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in order not to damage the compressor.

- LARDERS (without star rating): Larders (coolers) have not any freezer compartment but can cool down to 4-6°C.

PART 3. FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.

- Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.

- Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.

• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.

- To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.

- Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.

- You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

- To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.

PART 5. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following.

The appliance does not operate,

Check if;

• There is a power failure,
- The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose
- The thermostat setting is on position "0",

- The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket.

The appliance performs poorly;

Check if;

• You have overloaded the appliance,
  • The doors are not closed perfectly,
• There are not enough ventilation ducts on the kitchen unit as mentioned in the Installation Manual.

If there is noise;

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check if;

• The appliance is installed firmly as described in the Installation Manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;

Check if;

The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Climate Class	Ambient Temperature (°C)
T Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)

• Tropical Climate Class is described as between 16^ and 43^ of ambient temperatures according to EN ISO15502 standards.
• Appliance complies with EN15502, IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC standards.

Recommendations

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the compressor is working, this wall is covered with frost or water drops. Do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays), set the thermostat knob to position "0". Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
