Starting up and temperature regulation
• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protecti-
ve earth contact.
Setting „0“ means: Off.
Setting „1“ means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting „4“ (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
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 compart-
ment cannot be independently regulated.
Set the thermostat on a medium position 2-3. This provides in the freezer -
18°C or colder and in the fridge about +5°C. This position is usally adequa-
te for everyday use.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position "4") can cause the compressor to run
continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting
(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 situa-
ted is less than 16° C, the ambient switch (EXTRAFREEZE-B) must be push.
The yellow pilot light (A ) comes on. In this way, when the ambient tempe-
rature is low, the compressor operates for longer periods to ensure that the
storage temperature of -18° C is maintained inside the freezer compart-
ment.
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.
