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.
Note: The electrical parts of the refrigerator can only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Place the thermostat knob in position “3”, then turn on the appliance. The compressor is running and the interior light of the refrigerator comes on. Close the door. After 30 minutes, if the temperature in the refrigerator drops significantly, it shows that the refrigeration system is working properly. When the refrigerator has been running for a while, the temperature will adjust to the setting made, provided you do not leave the door open for too long.
If the above steps have been completed successfully, the setup operations are complete. The refrigerator is operating normally.
The device is supplied with two plastic tips (in the plastic bag in the user manual). After installing these end caps, the unit can no longer be pushed against the wall to ensure adequate ventilation. Insert the end caps into the corresponding openings on the back of the device, then screw them on.

Place the device against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 50-75mm

COLDEST ZONE IN THE REFRIGERATOR
This symbol below indicates the location of the coldest area in your refrigerator. This zone is delimited near the fan, and at the top by the symbol or by the shelf positioned at the same height.

In order to guarantee the temperatures in this zone, take care not to modify the positioning of this shelf.
Installing the temperature indicator
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.

WARNING: This indicator is only intended for use with your refrigerator. Be careful not to use it in another refrigerator (indeed, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use.
Checking the temperature in the coldest area Once the temperature indicator has been installed, you will be able to regularly check that the temperature of the coldest area is correct. If necessary, adjust the thermostat accordingly as indicated above. The interior temperature of the refrigerator is influenced by several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and how often the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the temperature.
For the proper conservation of food in your refrigerator and in particular in the coldest area, make sure that the temperature indicator appears “OK”.

If “OK” does not appear, it means the temperature is too high. Set the thermostat to a higher position. Wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat. After loading fresh food into the appliance or after repeated openings (or extended opening) of the door, it is normal that the inscription “OK” does not appear in the temperature indicator.
