The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the appliance
1 = less cold
5 = colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used .
To increase the amoun t of space, optimiz e arrangement
and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling
area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator
compartment.
When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on
whether the compressor is operating or not at a set time.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is
operating normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and th e ambient temperature is high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the forma tion of frost on the back cooling area.
This will lead to an incr ease in energy consum ption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a
lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vege tables (store in dark, dry places).
- Within the refrigerator com partment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is
heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should
be placed above the vegetable contai ner.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remai n edible for any extended amount of time.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrig erator, causing the formation of frost.
- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing
the compressor to work har der and use more ener gy.
- Contrary to popular bel ief, cooked foods are no t stored
any longer than raw food.
- The refrigerator com partment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves, which can be adjusted for
height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even
large containers and fo odstuffs in the refri gerator.
- Be careful not to place con tainers (plastic or gl ass), food
or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of
the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food,
in-crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
