It is used to set the temperature inside the refrigerator.

The elements of the temperature display are as follows:

1. Ambient symbol

Seen when the digits show the ambient temperature.

2. Refrigerator symbol

Dark, when the digits show the refrigerator temperature.

3. Freezer symbol

Dark, when the digits show the freezer temperature.

4. Digits

By default the digits show the ambient temperature and the

ambient symbol is seen.

The digits can show also:

The medium temperature inside the refrigerator after pressing the "C" button (refrigerator symbol is dark), for a while.

The highest temperature inside the freezer after pressing the "C" button twice (freezer symbol is dark), for a while.

Refrigerator temperature set (value is blinking) when the "F" knobis rotated and for a while afterwards.

Freezer temperature set (value is blinking) when the "B" knobis rotated and for a while afterwards.

5. Super cooling symbol

Visible, when the appliance runs in super cooling mode. See also the chapteron freezing.

6. High temperature symbol

Visible, when the temperature in the refrigerator is too high.

See also the description on the display background colour.

7. Shopping symbol

Visible, when the appliance runs in shopping cooling mode. See also the chapter

on using the refrigerator.

Display background colour

By default the display background is blue.

While whatever button or knob is used the background turns bright blue and remains so for a while.

The display background turns red, if the temperature inside the freezer is too warm (alarm). If this is the case, the digits show blinking the warmest temperature inside the freezer, the high temperature symbol flashes and an acoustic alarm signal is shown.

The temperature might be too warm in the following cases:

Immediately after switching on The freezer door was left open for a longer time There is an operating trouble in the freezer

To switch the alarm sound off press the "E" button. The display returns to showing the ambient temperature, however the background remains red until the freezer cools down properly.

Should you press no button during alarm, press the "E" button when the sound finishes to see the warmest temperature reached during the alarm.

Using the Appliance

Putting it into use

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

Press the "A" button. The backlight of the display turns on.

The applince is ready to use.

Pressing the "A" button again the appliance is off, but still under voltage.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostats interrupt the cooling automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

Temperature of the refrigerator and freezer can be set by knobs "F" and "B", respectively. The set temperature is seen blinking on the display.

For everyday use medium setting, i.e. +5°C in the refrigerator and colder than -18°C is the freezer is recommended.

Allow the appliance to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the appliance.

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.

When the coldest temperature possible is set - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves

- the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.

How to use the refrigerator

For adequate cooling developing interior air

circulation is necessary. For this reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).

Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow

it to reach room temperature naturally. In this way the unnnecessary frost building up can be avoided.

Foods can take over odours from each other.

So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, greaseproof paper or cling film before placing them into the refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types:

1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold cuts.

2. Milk, dairy products.

3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.

4. Cheese, butter.

5. Eggs.

6. Yoghurt, sour cream.

7. Small bottles, drinks.

8. Large bottles, drinks.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.

There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different position to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.

Shopping mode

Before putting a bigger amount of food into the refrigerator (e.g. when returning from shopping) press the function selection button once or twice as occasion requires to obtain shopping mode (the shopping mode symbol shown on the display). In this manner the refrigerator reaches its lowest possible temperature to cool down the bigger amount of food.

To exit from shopping mode press the function selection button again. Should you not do so, after a while the refrigerator returns to automatic mode.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage chart at the end of the instruction book gives information on storage times in the refrigerator compartment. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of food smells.
