FAURE FBA6240A User Manual - Operation
Operation
Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium
setting.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regu-
lator to the "O" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower set-
tings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher set-
tings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the appliance de-
pends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Important!
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the
lowest temperatures, 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 automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abrasive pow-
ders, as these will damage the finish.
Daily use
Temperature indicator
To assist you in controlling your appliance correctly we
have fitted a temperature indicator to your refrigerator,
placed in the coldest area.
The coldest area of the refrigerator compartment is
at the level of the lower glass shelf.
The symbol opposite shows the location of the coldest
area of your refrigerator.
The space directly above the glass shelf of the fruit and
vegetable drawer is the coldest region of the refriger-
ator compartment as shown by the shelf or the sticker
on the wall of your appliance.
For proper storage of the food in your refrigerator and
particularly in the coldest area, ensure that the tem-
perature indicator is displaying “OK”.
If “OK” is not displayed, the average temperature in the
area is too high. Adjust the temperature controller to a
colder setting. Since the “OK” display is in black, it is
difficult to see if the temperature indicator is poorly il-
luminated. Correct illumination makes it easy to read.
Each time the temperature controller is adjusted, wait
for the temperature inside the appliance to stabilise
before checking whether another adjustment is re-
quired. Only adjust the controller gradually and wait at
least 12 hours before checking and perhaps adjusting
it again.
Important!
After putting fresh food into the appliance
or after opening the door repeatedly or for a long period,
it is normal for the indicator not to show “OK”; wait at
least 12 hours before readjusting the temperature
controller.
If the evaporator of the refrigeration compartment (wall
at the bottom of the appliance) has an abnormal cov-
ering of ice (appliance too full, high ambient tempera-
ture, thermostat too high, frequent door opening), grad-
ually move the thermostat control to a lower setting until
there are once more periods when the compressor
stops. The automatic defrosting of the refrigerator com-
