When the appliance is connected to the mains, the inside light switches on each time the door is opened. The thermostat, located inside the refrigerator compartment, is used to adjust the temperature of both the refrigerator compartment and low temperature compartment (if fitted). Appliance temperature adjustment: The thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment and the compartment. The thermostat knob can be turned from position1 to 7 (coldest setting) to make the internal temperature colder. When set to O the appliance is switched off.

Regularly clean the inside of the defrost water drain hole in order to guarantee the constant and correct flow of defrost water. Defrosting the low temperature compartment Defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice a year or when the ice formation is excessive. The amount of ice which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will depends on room temperature and humidity, and on the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. • Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. • Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. • Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/or neutral detergent.
