[. . . ] If possible, please take the packaging of your new refrigerator to the recycling centre for your area. Recommendation: before installation or initial use of the appliance, clean the interior and fittings with lukewarm water and, if necessary, a mild detergent. Never use acidic, abrasive or strongsmelling detergents or wax polishes! Connecting to the mains The refrigerator must only be connected to the electricity supply using an earthed socket outlet, installed in accordance with local regulations. Before connecting the refrigerator, check from the data label inside the cabinet that the voltage agrees with your mains supply. [. . . ] Carefully place the refrigerator on its back and insert the pins of the wheels into the metal holders located on the underside of the refrigerator. In this way you can always move your refrigerator to where it is needed. To switch on the refrigerator, plug it into the socket and turn the thermostat (in the inside compartment) to position 3 or 4. The appliance start to cool in about one hour. The temperature inside the refrigerator is affected by location, room temperature and too frequent opening of the door. Adjustment of the thermostat dial may therefore be necessary. 2 TEMPERATURE CONTROL The cooling capacity can be adjusted with the thermostat. 0=cooling is switched off, from 1-5 the temperature decreases. When the thermostat is at a medium setting and the ambient temperature is normal, the temperature inside the refrigerator is between 0°-7°C. Depending on the ambient temperature, service life, and quantity and temperature of the refrigerated items, the temperature inside the refrigerator can drop to below 0°C when the thermostat is set at 5 (maximum cooling capacity). Drinks can freeze, glass bottles and can may burst!After defrosting is completed, cooling will automatically be started again.
