If the thermostat is set to OFF, the refrigerator is switched off.
Moving the thermostat to MIN will start the refrigerator.
The optimum temperature adjustment range for the application for which the FG10I WMFE
refrigerator is designed, is between the MIN and MAX settings marked on the thermostat.
As the thermostat is moved closer to the MAX position, the temperature inside the refrigerator will
become lower.
NOTE: The refrigerator can operate at lower temperatures than the level obtained by setting the
thermostat to MAX by turning the dial clockwise past this setting and as far as it will go.
However, since these temperatures are out of the envisaged range for storing milk or similar
liquids for human consumption, the manufacturer advises against using the refrigerator in
this way, stressing again that the appliance is designed and made to store milk or similar
liquids for human consumption at a controlled temperature and not to chill such products
from room temperature.
Adjusting the thermostat acts indirectly on the inside temperature of the refrigerator.
Once switched on, the refrigerator will begin to operate, but a certain amount of time is needed
(depending on external conditions as well as on the thermostat setting) for it to reach the required
internal temperature.
We recommend only inserting milk and/or similar liquids for human consumption inside the
refrigerator once the internal temperature has stabilized.

Defrosting
If the FG10I WMFE refrigerator is left to operate for very long periods of time, it is possible for ice
to form on its inside walls.
If the ice becomes considerably thick, it is advisable to defrost the refrigerator in order to continue
to guarantee good appliance efficiency and avoid higher electricity consumption.
To defrost the appliance, turn the thermostat dial to OFF; we recommend leaving the refrigerator
door open to speed up this operation.
Never use tools or utensils of any type to remove ice as this could damage the evaporator, which is
in contact with the inside walls of the refrigerator.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage to the appliance caused by failure to abide
by this recommendation.
At the end of the defrosting operation and after cleaning and thoroughly drying the insides of the
refrigerator, switch it on by turning the thermostat dial to the required setting.
