For your safety, request an electrician of your trust to check the
condition of the electrical power
system at the location it will be
plugged and for further information, contact the Technical
Service.
The socket wires where your
refrigerator will be connected
should be of copper and have
a minimum section of 2.5 mm².
Check if the maximum admissible
voltage uctuation of the installation site is in conformity with the table below. In case the voltage at
the installation site is off the limits, adapt a voltage
stabilizer of not less than 2000 Watts.

ATTENTION
Do not use the refrigerator without connecting
the grounding wire.
If the refrigerator 127V is turned on to a 220V
switch, it will not be connected to any component, a sound alarm will be spread and the
panel will be locked (_ _). The lamps of the
refrigerator will burn out if the door of the

ask to a trusted electrician to provide it.
The grounding cable (green or yellow and green)
located at the back of your refrigerator must be
connected to an efcient grounding and should
not be connected directly to the electric power
network or to water and/or gas pipes, electricity,
telephone conduits, lightning rods, etc.
If your product is equipped with a 3-prong plug power cord, it will not have a grounding cable (green
or yellow and green). It must be plugged into a
properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet.
Do not use adaptor to bypass the grounding. Do
not replace it for a two prong plug. If necessary, for
your safety, ask to a trusted electrician to ground
your appliance.
Grounding is the best safety for the user against
electric discharges.

The internal temperatures may vary depending
on the room temperature, charging, number of
opening of the doors and ventilation of the place
where the product was installed.
The positions of temperature adjustment of the
freezer are pre-established at the factory. But this
temperature depends on the conditions of packaging of the food and the frequency of opening of
the door. So, take care to place the food in a way
they do not obstruct the air exits and avoid to open
the door unnecessarily.
The refrigerator compartment has an independent
temperature control located in its interior, close
to the lamps. To regulate it, refer to the section
“Manual Temperature Control of the Fridge”.
Fine Adjustment of Freezer Temperature
Your refrigerator was produced within the international standards and has three levels of temperature with pre-established values at the factory, which
