Your appliance is compliant with European Directives CEE/73/23 (low voltage directive), CEE/89/336 (electromagnetic compatibility) and CEE/96/57 (energy efficiency) as well as their modifications. If the appliance has been delivered to your home in a horizontal position, stand it upright and then wait 2 hours before plugging it in. A small amount of oil may have flowed into the refrigeration circuit, and you must allow time for this to flow back towards the motor before connecting the appliance. Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see the section on "Installing your appliance") before connecting your appliance to the electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on the power cable. 35 Setting your refrigerator's temperature EN Prolonged opening of the door will cause the internal temperature to rise. You must therefore read the indicator within 30 seconds of the door being opened for the reading to be correct. Manipulating the thermostat To adjust the temperature, set the thermostat knob on one of the surrounding figures. Position 1 corresponds to the least cold setting: the higher the number, the colder the temperature setting. The appliance is always powered. Setting the temperature When putting your appliance into service, set the thermostat to a medium position. Check the temperature indicator 4 hours after putting your appliance into service, or after any change in the thermostat setting, observe the temperature light (Drawing 1): - If the indicator is still black, lower the temperature gradually by selecting a higher number around the thermostat and checking the temperature indicator again after 4 hours. - If the indicator goes green and "OK" is indicated, the temperature in your refrigerator is correctly set. Your refrigerator's internal temperature is closely linked to the ambient temperature, how frequently the door is opened and the amount and temperature of the food you have put in your refrigerator. You must therefore check the temperature indicator regularly and adjust the setting if necessary, as explained above. 36 Temperature indicator and "Cold Zone" symbols You will find the symbol opposite in your refrigerator. It clearly shows the location of your appliance's coldest zone: the temperature here is +4°C or less. A temperature indicator here enables you to check that your refrigerator is working correctly: Temp. to set Correct temp. Drawing 1 - Temperature indicator Mixed or regulated cold (depending on the model) This guide to installing and using your fridge-freezer is applicable to several models. You can check very quickly by comparing your refrigerator to the illustrations on this page. Your appliance is equipped with a cold air ventilation system: - Mixed cold (A): the fan mixes the air in the refrigerator section, providing greater temperature homogeneity and avoiding condensation forming on the glass shelves. - Regulated cold (B): a distribution column directs the air to every level, providing a very homogeneous temperature and avoiding any condensation forming on the shelves. Apart from these everyday advantages, we recommend that you use the fan: - When the climatic conditions are extreme (e. g. a heat wave) - If you have just placed a large amount of food in your appliance's refrigerator section. To start the fan: - Press the ON button (Drawing C) - Appliance with electronics: this function is initiated by electronic system (See the symbols table in the section "Switching on and adjusting the appliance"). [. . . ] Place it in isothermic bags or wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place. Clean your appliance inside and out with a bicarbonate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could damage the surfaces. The very hot steam could damage the surfaces and the electrical circuits; you would expose yourself to a risk of electrocution. [. . . ]
