Carefully review the safety information (Section 1) before you start using the appliance.

4.1 SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

You can set the temperature of the appliance by turning the thermostat button.

• The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.

• 1 is the warmest setting.

• 7 is the coldest setting.

• The recommended setting is 4.

• Turn the dial to 0 to turn the appliance off.

The internal temperature of the appliance may vary due to the ambient temperature, the amount of products stored and the frequency with which the door is opened. Under normal operating conditions we recommend setting the temperature to

4. In summer, when the ambient temperature is high, we recommend setting

the temperature to 3-4. In winter, when the ambient temperature is low, we recommend setting the appliance to 5-6.

Note The thermostat setting ‘6’ or ‘7’ is suitable when the ambient temperature is below 16°C, but this can lead to ice formation if the appliance continues to run at such a setting for a long time below the normal ambient temperature, which is a normal phenomenon. In this case we recommend setting the appliance to a higher temperature (position 1-5) provided that the articles in the appliance allow this.

• Due to the circulation of cold air in the appliance, the temperature in each part of the appliance is different. Therefore, different types of food should be placed in different places.

• Do not place the food close together as this hinders air circulation.

• Divide different food into several compartments according to the table below

Door compartments in the refrigerator compartment Food with natural preservatives such as jam, juice, drink, spices. Do not store any products with a limited shelf life here. Crisper drawer Place fruit, herbs and vegetables separately in the crisper drawer. Do not put bananas, onions, potatoes or garlic in the refrigerator. Refrigerator shelf - centre Dairy products, eggs. Refrigerator shelf - top Food that does not require preparation such as ready meals, ne meats, leftovers.50

To remove the shelf, lift it rst and then pull it out. To put the shelf back in place, push it into place before lowering. Hold the shelf rmly when removing or replacing it and take care to avoid damage. Cooling food

• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long they can be stored.

• Pack food in resealable plastic bags, especially if it has a strong taste, and place on the glass shelves above the crisper drawer. Store food only one or at most two days in this way.

• Store raw meat and sh in appropriate food containers in the refrigerator so that it does not leak or come into contact with other foods.

• Do not place hot food or hot plastic parts in the appliance. Make sure it has cooled to room temperature before putting it in the appliance.

• Cooked food that has cooled sufciently must be covered and can then be placed on any shelf.

• Do not place foods containing a lot of water too close to the back wall of the refrigerator to prevent them from freezing to the inner wall.

• It is best to clean and dry food before storing it in the appliance. It is advisable to store food in sealed packaging in the appliance. This prevents evaporation of water, which keeps fruit and vegetables fresh and also prevents odours.

• The most efcient use of energy is ensured in the conguration with the drawers in the lower part of the appliance and with the shelves evenly distributed. The position of the door trays does not affect energy consumption.

• Do not open the door or leave it open more often than necessary.

• Do not set the temperature too high to save energy unless the characteristics of the food require it.

• If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature control is set to a low temperature and the appliance is fully lled, the compressor can be on continuously, causing ice to form on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control to a higher temperature to enable automatic defrosting to save energy.

• Ensure proper ventilation. Do not cover the vents or holes.

• Place frozen food in the fresh food compartment to defrost: the low temperature of the frozen food helps to cool the fresh food and thus saves energy.

• Replace the door gasket in good time to prevent poor door closing. ATTENTION!

• The manufacturer’s storage recommendations must be strictly followed. Please refer to the respective instructions.

• Do not keep the door open for too long; this can cause a sharp increase in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

• Frozen food may not be refrozen after thawing. !52

• Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning.

• Never touch the plug with wet or moist hands because of the risk of electric shocks and injury.

• Do not spill water directly onto the appliance to prevent rust, leakage and accidents.

• Do not put your hands in the bottom of the fridge as the sharp metal corners can cause scratches.

• Do not use water jets and steam to clean the appliance.

• To prevent damage, do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, petrol, acids, chlorine, abrasive powders, hot water or other corrosive or soluble substances to clean the cabinet surface, door gasket or plastic decorative parts etc.

• Do not use mechanical devices, electrical appliances (such as a hairdryer or heater) or other means to defrost your appliance.
