USE

Before first use, clean all parts of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse them thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a dry cloth. Adjust the thermostat knob, then turn on the device. The appliance turns on and the interior light of the refrigerator comes on.

• Do not place vegetables containing water in direct contact with the refrigerator compartment (water accelerates their deterioration).
• Before placing hot food in the refrigerator, be sure to let it cool down to room temperature first.
• Be sure to maintain sufficient space for ventilation.
• The individual food packaging makes it easier to use the refrigerator. Be careful not to open the door too often to save energy.

Temperature setting
To adjust the interior temperature of the refrigerator, turn the thermostat control knob. The thermostat will maintain the temperature within a range determined according to the position selected.
The thermostat mark indicates its position, not its temperature. Set the thermostat to “1” and “4” in summer and between “4” and “7” in winter. Positions “3” and “4” are the more economical.

Refrigerator compartment: Different foods, especially vegetables and fruits, have different storage temperatures. Storage time is 1-3 days. Freezer compartment: 1 ~ 2: 1 week, 3-7: 1 month.

COLDEST ZONE  IN THE REFRIGERATOR

• You will obtain better preservation of your food if you place it in the cold zone which best suits its nature.
• The symbol below indicates the location of the coldest area of your refrigerator.
• This zone is delimited at the top by the low-temperature compartment and at the bottom by the symbol or by the shelf positioned at the same height.
• In order to guarantee the temperatures in the coldest zone, take care not to modify the positioning of this shelf.

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR INSTALLATION

• To help you adjust your refrigerator properly, it is equipped with a temperature indicator (delivered in the package insert) which will allow you to control the average temperature in the coldest area.
• To install the temperature indicator, please observe the indications according to the diagrams below.

Warning:
This indicator is preseen for function uniquely with your refrigerator, watch to do not use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for another use.

CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST ZONE
Once the temperature indicator has been installed, you can regularly check that the temperature of the coldest area is correct, and, if necessary, adjust the thermostat accordingly as indicated above.
For the good conservation of food in your refrigerator and in particular in the coldest zone, make sure that in the temperature indicator appears “OK”. If “OK” does not appear, the average temperature of the zone is too high. Set the thermostat to a higher position.

Whenever the thermostat is changed, wait for the temperature inside the appliance to stabilize before proceeding with a new adjustment, if necessary. Only change the thermostat position gradually and wait at least 12 hours before re-checking and making any changes.

REMARKS :
After loading the appliance with fresh food or after repeated opening (or prolonged opening) of the door, it is normal that the inscription “OK” does not appear in the temperature indicator.
Wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat.

DEFROST

• After a certain period of operation, the refrigerator will build up a layer of frost which, if too thick, will reduce its performance. Remove the frost by hand as soon as it reaches a thickness of 5mm.
• Take all food out of the refrigerator, wrap it and put it in a cool place. Remove all the accessories and set the thermostat to “0” (or unplug the power cord), open the freezer compartment door (place a container of water at around 50 ° C there to speed up defrosting).
• Do not use hard or aggressive cleaning objects which could damage the surface. Also do not use electric heaters for defrosting.

FOOD PLACEMENT

Remove wrappers before placing food in the refrigerator (for example, wrappers from yoghurt packs).
The observation of the following advice is likely to avoid cross-contamination and to prevent poor storage of food.

• Systematically package products to prevent food from contaminating each other.
• Wash hands before touching food and several times during meal preparation, especially if it involves handling different products.
• Do not reuse utensils that have already been used without having cleaned them first, such as the cutting board.
• Wait for the food to cool completely before placing it in the refrigerator.
• Limit the number of times the door is opened and, above all, do not leave it open for too long in order to avoid a rise in the internal temperature.
• Place foods in the refrigerator so that air can circulate between them.

STORING FOODS IN THE REFRIGERATOR ACCORDING TO THEIR NATURE
