USING YOUR APPLIANCE
• In order to use the appliance as best as you can, please read carefully the following tips on
food placement:
• Keep space between the food to facilitate air circulation.
• Food should be stored in an airtight package to prevent drying or odor.
• Hot food should be warm before introducing it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, the temperature
and therefore the electrical consumption will increase.
• Reducing the frequency of door opening can reduce energy consumption.
• Fridge temperature can be controlled manually with the temperature control knob. However,
consider that the number displayed on the knob does not directly represent the temperature,
since it depends on external factors such as the number of times the refrigerator door is opened.
In any case:
• The larger number the less temperature in the cavity. 0 means the fridge is switched off.
• When you are using your appliance normally, please select '4' temperature in the control knob.
•
When lower temperature than normal is required, please set the temperature knob between 4
and 7. When higher temperature than normal is required, please set the knob between 4 and
1.
We recommend that in hot seasons such as summer you do not set the button to very
low temperatures, because if you
do, the compressor will be running at all times and electricity consumption will increase
considerably.
DESFROSTING
The strong concentration of ice in the freezer will influence the cooling performance and increase
energy consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to defrost the appliance when the accumulated
frost exceeds 5 mm. The defrosting process must be done manually in the following way:
• Remove all food from the freezer and refrigerator.
• Remove the drawers, racks and shelves from the appliance.
• Unplug the power cord; open the doors and wait until the freezer has been defrost.
• Clean the water with a dry cloth and repeat the process inversely.
Food that was previously frozen cannot be frozen again if they have been defrost.
Do not use any electric appliance to speed the defrosting process up. Otherwise, the
appliance may be damaged.
NOTE: Please install the refrigerator where the temperature is 16ºC to 38ºC.
