D074 3 5 2 4 1 7 6 37 OPERATION Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up and Temperature Regulation Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be found on the upper right side of the inner liner, clockwise, beyond the «O» position (STOP), to start the appliance. Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. However, the thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depending on the temperature required inside the appliance. This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as the ambient temperature, the number of times the door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the location of the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher temperature is required. Important: If the ambient temperature is high and the appliance is set to the lowest temperature, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow for automatic defrosting and consequently a saving in electricity consumption. [. . . ] If it still does not light up, change the bulb. The rating is shown on the light bulb cover. External cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. D025 CUSTOMER SERVICE What to do if the appliance is not functioning properly.
