Proper use of the appliance The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance. Turn the knob from setting 1 to setting 5 to obtain increasingly colder temperatures (Fig. 1). R 45 Fig. 1 Use of the refrigerator compartment If the freezer compartment is empty, to obtain the optimum temperatures inside the refrigerator, set the thermostat knob indicator on a middle setting.
Proper use of the appliance Freezing fresh To package foods for freezing, consult a specialized foods manual. Before placing fresh foods in the compartment for freezing, to prevent the temperature of already frozen foodstuffs from rising irregularly in contact with the unfrozen food, these frozen foodstuffs should be removed from the freezing space and placed below the divider. Never freeze more foodstuffs than the amount indicated on the rating plate at one time.
A pot of warm water placed in the freezer will speed up the defrosting operation. During defrosting, wrap the frozen foodstuffs removed from the freezer in newspaper and keep them in a cool place. Since the rise in temperature will shorten their storage life, these foods should be used fairly soon, even after their return to the freezer. The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically while running; the defrost water is collected by a drainer and evaporated automatically to the outside.

At least once a year the condenser (black, finned part on the back) should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or dry brush.
Special instructions and advice 8 l To increase the space available and improve the appearance, the "cooling section" of this appliance is inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the refrigerator is running this wall will be covered with frost or drops of water, depending on whether the compressor is operating or not. Do not worry! Your refrigerator is running normally. You should defrost only when the layer is more than 5 mm. To do this, set back the thermostat knob.
l To prevent increase in moisture and consequently increased frost, never place liquids in uncovered containers in the refrigerator. The frosttends to concentrate in the coldest parts of with time.
Special instructions and advice l Your refrigerator contains 2 wheels that make it easier to place, move and clean your appliance. To avoid the movement of the refrigerator while using it, you can fix it by turning the front legs counter clockwise. So that, you will avoid the refrigerator to move back and front when opening and closing the door. As well, you will have the balanced placement of the refrigerator.
