storing fresh food and beverages and use the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.

• After installation, make sure that the appliance is

not standing on the power supply cable.

• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the

freezer since they may burst.

• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately

after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

This appliance is a refrigerator with a 4 star freezer compartment.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is performed automatically.

The refrigerator can operate in room temperatures between +10° C and +38° C. Optimal performance of the appliance depends on the climatic class, which is indicated on the rating plate.

Switching on the appliance

Plug in the appliance. The thermostat knob in the refrigerator compartment serves to adjust the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartment if your appliance is equipped with a single compressor. Refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment temperature adjustment is independent in the case of appliances with two compressors (see product description sheet).

Temperature adjustment

1. To ensure correct operation and the best possible food storage in both compartments, set the thermostat in accordance with the indications on the enclosed product description sheet.

2. To alter the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments set the thermostat knob to:

•lower numbers 1-2 (MIN) if you want to INCREASE the

temperature;

•higher numbers 5-7 (MAX) if you want to DECREASE

the temperature.

Thermostat setting z switches off all functions of the appliance including the interior light.

Note:

The room air temperature, the number of times the door is opened and the position of the appliance will affect the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Take these factors into consideration when you set the thermostat. For example if the machine is operated in a room with high temperature you may need to set the thermostat to a low number.

Using the refrigerator compartment

Position the food as shown in the figure. A Cooked food BFish, meat C Fruit and vegetables D Bottles E Butter F Dairy products, cheese

Notes:

• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator

compartment must be unobstructed to allow air circulation.

• Do not place the food in direct contact with the rear wall of the

refrigerator compartment.

• Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.

• Store liquids in closed containers.

• Storage of vegetables with high water contents can lead to the

formation of condensation: this will not affect the correct operation of the appliance.
