USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is normal. Ice and water dispenser features Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Bottle filling function Controlling the temperature The bottle filling function facilitates the flow of water directly into the mouth of a bottle, minimising splashing and spillage. Water flows from the water dispensing nozzle located on the underside of the ice and water dispenser. The default temperature for the refrigerator is 3°C and -18°C for the freezer. If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions on the following pages.
