First Use
Before operating your refrigerator, ensure all necessary preparations are completed according to the "Safety Information" and "Installation" sections. If the product has been transported horizontally, allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it into the power supply. For the first 12 hours, run the appliance without any food inside and avoid opening the door unless absolutely necessary.
Important Note for France: This appliance is sold in France and, in accordance with local regulations, must be equipped with a special device (refer to figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest zone. ?️❓
Daily Use
The operating temperature of the refrigerator is regulated by the temperature control knob. Settings range from 1 (lowest cooling) to 5 (highest cooling), or Min. to Max.
The average temperature inside the fridge should be maintained around +5°C. Select a setting appropriate for your needs, noting that temperatures may vary slightly across different areas of the cooling compartment. The coldest area is typically just above the vegetable compartment.
Factors such as ambient temperature, how frequently the door is opened, and the amount of food stored can influence the interior temperature. Frequent door openings will cause the temperature to rise. It is recommended to close the door as soon as possible after use.
To turn off the appliance, rotate the control knob to the off position.
Temperature Control And Adjustment
The thermostat controls the operating temperatures. Settings can be adjusted from 1 (coldest) to 5. When first switching on the appliance, set the thermostat so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature does not exceed +5°C (+41°F).
A recommended setting is halfway between 1 and 5, monitoring the temperature to achieve your desired level. Higher settings (towards 5) result in a colder temperature, while lower settings (towards 1) result in a warmer temperature.
It is normal for some sections of the fridge to be cooler or warmer than others, such as the salad crisper or the top part of the cabinet.
In ambient temperatures above 25°C (77°F), especially during summer, turn the thermostat knob towards 5. In ambient temperatures below 25°C (77°F), set the thermostat to a halfway position.
Frequent door opening can lead to higher internal temperatures; therefore, close the door promptly after use.
Defrosting
The larder fridge features automatic defrosting. Defrost water flows to a drain tube via a collection channel and evaporates in a special container (1) located at the back of the appliance.
During the defrosting cycle, water droplets may form on the back of the fridge where the concealed evaporator is situated. Some droplets might remain on the liner and refreeze once defrosting is complete. Do not use sharp or pointed objects, such as knives or forks, to remove any refrozen droplets.
If the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check for any food particles blocking the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the provided special plastic plunger (2) down the tube. ?
