The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the appliance
Min
= less cold
Max
= colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrange-
ment and improve appearance, this appliance has a
“cooling area” located within the back panel of the re-
frigerator compart-ment.
When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on
whether the compressor is operating or not at a set time. Do
not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operating
normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while
the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature
is high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the
formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to
an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to
a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto-
matically.

What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is
heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should
be placed above the vegetable container.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum
storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain
edible for any extended amount of time.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of mois-
ture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods are not stored
any longer than raw food.
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with conven-
ient, removable shelves which can be adjusted for height
using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large
containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food
or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of
the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food,
in-crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
