Operation Instructions

Switching On Your Unit

The thermostat knob has the following settings:

• Setting "Off": Unit Off
• Setting "Min": Less Cool Temperature
• Setting "Med" or "MID": Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
• Setting "Max": Coolest Temperature

During high ambient temperatures, e.g., on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the Coolest setting (position "Max"). This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at "Med". Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermostat control knob is set to OFF, the refrigerator will not be running.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put it in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

Coldest Zone in the Refrigerator

OPTIONAL: OK-temperature indicator

The OK-temperature indicator can be used to determine temperatures below +4°C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sign does not indicate "OK".

Diagram Description: Illustrates two states: one where the temperature is not optimal (e.g., a thermometer showing a high temperature or a sad face icon) and another where the temperature is optimal, indicated by "OK".

To ensure the temperature in this area, do not change the positioning of the shelf. Inforced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the temperature inside is homogeneous.

Temperature indicator setting

To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will monitor the average temperature in the coldest zone.

WARNING: This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator; do not use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use.

Checking the temperature in the coldest zone

• With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored, and the frequency of door opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.
• When the indicator shows "OK", this means that your thermostat is well adjusted and the internal temperature is correct.
• If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator.
• When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
