Starting up and temperature regulation
¥ Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with pro-
tective earth contact.
Setting ã0Ò means: Off.
Setting ã1Ò means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting ã4Ò (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, (coldest set-
ting).
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in the mind that
the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer co part-
ment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting ã4Ò, ensuring
that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop
blow 0¡C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to
setting ã2Ò or ã3Ò.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the temperature regulator (position "4") can cause the com-
pressor to run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set-
ting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched
on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
Temperature adjustment with ambient temperature below +16¡C
When the ambient temperature in the room in which the appliance is
situated is less than 16¡ C, the ambient switch (2) must be depressed.
The yellow pilot light (1) comes on. In this way, when the ambient
temperature is low, the compressor operates for longer periods to
ensure that the storage temperature of -18¡ C is maintained inside the
freezer compartment.
Important!
If the ambient temperature rises to above +16¡C, de-activate the
ambient switch in order to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
The yellow pilot light goes out.
