Handling the appliance

Switch and indicator set

The following component can be found under a cover in the top frame:

A. Thermostat knob of the appliance

It is for setting the temperature in the appliance.

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.

The thermostat knob is under a cover in the top frame.You can switch the appliance on and set the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostat interrupts the operation of the appliance automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

The closer it is set to „Max.” position the more intensive the refrigerating will be. When the thermostat knob is set to „Medium” position (between „Min.” and „Max.”), in the freezing compartment -18 °C, in the fresh food compartment +5 °C can be reached. Setting it to „Medium” position is adequate for everyday use.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.

In the maximum „Max.” position - in case of

increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.
