3.4 Temperature Settings Warnings
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature ranges stated
in the standards, according to the climate
class stated in the information label. It
is not recommended that your fridge is
operated in the environments which are
outside of the stated temperature ranges.
This will reduce the cooling efficiency of
the appliance.
• Temperature adjustments should be
made according to the frequency of
door openings, the quantity of food kept
inside the appliance and the ambient
temperature in the location of your
appliance.
• When the appliance is first switched on,
allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During this
time, do not open the door and do not
keep a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied
to prevent damage to the compressor
of your appliance when connecting
or disconnecting to mains, or when
an energy breakdown occurs. Your
appliance will begin to operate normally
after 5 minutes.

Important installation instructions
This appliance is designed to work in
difficult climate conditions and is powered
with 'Freezer Shield' technology which
ensures that the frozen food in the
freezer will not defrost even if the ambient
temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So
you may then install your appliance in an
unheated room without having to worry
about frozen food in the freezer being
spoilt. When the ambient temperature
returns to normal, you may continue using
the appliance as usual.
3.5 Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your
refrigerator, we have equipped it
with a temperature indicator
located in the coldest area.
To better store the food in your
refrigerator, especially in the
coldest area, make sure the
message "OK" appears on the
temperature indicator. If « OK » does not
appear, this means temperature has not
been set properly
It may be difficult to see the indicator,
make sure it is properly lit.Each time the
temperature setting device is changed,
wait for the stabilisation of the temperature
inside the appliance before proceeding,
if necessary, with a new temperature
setting. Please change the position of the
temperature setting device progressively
and wait at least 12 hours before starting a
new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings
(or prolonged opening) of the door or
after putting fresh food into the appliance, it
is normal for the indication "OK" not to
appear in the temperature setting indicator.
If there is an abnormal build up of ice
crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the
appliance) on the refrigerator compartment,
evaporator (overloaded appliance, high
room temperature, frequent door openings),
put the temperature setting device on a
lower position until compressor off periods
are obtained again.
Store food in the coldest area of the
refrigerator.
Your foods will be better stored
if you put them in the most
appropriate cooling area. The
coldest area is just above the
EN - 11
