OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Start and operation
•
Before first use, turn the refrigerator on without food and allow it to stabilize at the selected temperature.
That takes about 2 to 3 hours. Then set the thermostat control to the desired temperature and place the
food in the refrigerator.
•
You can set the temperature in the refrigerator using the thermostat control. For normal operation, it is
best to set the controller to a medium value.
•
Whenever a layer of ice forms with a thickness of 3 to 4 mm on the surface of the evaporator, defrost the
refrigerator, see "Defrosting" section.
Thermostat adjustment
•
The thermostat automatically regulates the internal temperature of the refrigeration and freezer
compartment of the refrigerator. Turn the switch from position 1 to position 5 to obtain a cooler
temperature inside.
•
The "• " position shows that the thermostat is switched off and the cooling is switched off.
•
For short-term food storage in the freezer, adjust the switch between position 1-3 as needed.
•
For long-term food storage in the freezer, adjust the switch to position 3 or 4.
Note: the ambient temperature, the temperature of freshly stored foodstuffs and how often the door is opened
affect the temperature inside the refrigerator. If necessary, adjust the thermostat at your discretion.
•
When switching on the refrigerator for the first time, the appliance should operate for at least 24 hours
before it reaches a sufficiently cool internal temperature.
•
During this time, do not open the door too often and place more food inside.
•
If the refrigerator is switched off, wait at least 5 minutes before restarting - this will prevent damage to the
compressor.
