[. . . ] Failure to do so may damage 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. When the thermostat is in position , your refrigerator is off . 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. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary. - 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. Your appliance is equipped with one or other of these functions. 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. [. . . ] The very hot steam could damage the surfaces and the electrical circuits; you would expose yourself to a risk of electrocution. Rinse with water, dry with a cloth. Don't forget to clean the condenser from time to time: this is at the back of the appliance (see the section on "Description of your appliance"). Use a dry paintbrush to do this or, better yet, your vacuum cleaner. Reconnect your appliance, and adjust the refrigerator's thermostat if necessary, as shown in the section on "Adjusting your refrigerator's temperature ". [. . . ]
