[. . . ] The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers and the bottle shelf should always remain in position, to ensure correct air circulation. Starting the appliance Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the thermostat knob clockwise beyond position «O» (OFF). The thermostat control situated inside the fridge compartment regulates the temperature of the appliance. Temperature Control The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: Ambient temperature Quantity and temperature of the food stored; Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open the location of the appliance. Door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required. For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be easily removed and refitted in position. 25 GB Hints Saving Energy Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption. So you are asked to be careful because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance. During heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to operate constantly. Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the fresh food compartment after defrosting period is not abnormal. The frozen food compartment can not be equipped with automatic defrosting set since the deep-frozen and frozen foods do not endure melting temperature. Provided it is not too thick, the layer of frost or ice can be scraped off and removed using a plastic scraper. When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed with the plastic scraper, the frozen food compartment has to be defrosted (generally 2-3 times a year). Take the foods out of the frozen and fresh food compartment, wrap them into some layers of paper or cloth. Break the circuit of the appliance and leave the doors of frozen and fresh food compartment open. After defrosting wipe the surfaces, apply voltage to the appliance and put the foods back to their places. It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest position of the thermostatic control so that it can reach the proper storing temperature as soon as possible. When the appliance is not in use Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. [. . . ] 30 GB Installation Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages. During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. [. . . ]
