• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, do not open the doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Important installation instructions

This appliance is designed to work in difficult climate conditions and is powered with 'Freezer Shield' technology which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the appliance as usual.

The Fresh Zone (RT40A\*\*\*\*, In some models)

Fresh Zone

Keeping food in the Fresh Zone, instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartments, allows food to retain freshness and flavour for longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When the fresh zone tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water.

(Water freezes at 0^ C, but food containing salt or sugar freezes at temperatures lower than this).

The fresh zone is usually used for storing foods such as raw fish, lightly pickled food, rice, and so on.

Do not put food you want to freeze or ice trays (to make ice) in the fresh zone

To remove the fresh zone (RT40A****, In some models)
