3 Using the Refrigerator
✔ Food shall be stored in adequate packages like plastic bags or containers with
hermetic lids.
This procedure avoids the removal of natural humidity from the food, preserving quality.
✔ Do not place hot foods inside the refrigerator. Allow them to cool down to room temperature.
That helps saving power consumption, and assures the good operation of the product.
✔ Try to leave the doors open only as long as it takes to place and remove food and beverages.
You will, thus, reduce power consumption and improve the performance of your refrigerator.
The temperature dial can be set to better preserve food
to the extent you use the product.
The inside
temperature is set by turning the control dial to the
position desired.
Temperature Minimum
Medium Maximum
Conditions of use
✔ Cold days
✔ Not much food stored
✔ Occasional opening of door
✔ Intermediate condition
✔ Hot days
✔ A lot of food stored
✔ Frequent opening of door
HOW TO OPERATE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
✔ Avoid setting the temperature of your refrigerator to Minimum in hot days, with a lot of food stored and when the doors are frequently opened.
That will cause insufficient cooling, food may lose quality and there may be internal sweat.
✔ For cold days, with few food stored and not much opening of the doors, avoid setting the temperature to Maximum.
That may cause excessive cooling of the food and waste of electric power.
✔ Set the temperature control
according to the real need. In winter or when not much used, the
temperature control position can be decreased.
Defrost Key
Additional temperature control (340/380 Full):

3 Usando El Refrigerador
✔ Recomendamos que los alimentos sean almacenados en embalajes apropiados, tales como sacos plásticos o recipientes con tapas. Eso evita la remoción de la
humedad natural de los alimentos, manteniendo su calidad.
• No coloque alimentos calientes en el refrigerador. Aguarde hasta que estén a la temperatura ambiente. Esto contribuye para que no
aumente el consumo de energía, garantizando el buen funcionamiento del producto.
• Busque abrir las puertas
solamente el tiempo necesario para colocar y retirar alimentos y bebidas.
De este modo Ud. estará reduciendo el consumo de energía y mejorando el desempeño de su refrigerador.
El control de temperatura puede ser regulado para atender
mejor las condiciones de conservación de los alimentos, conforme el grado de utilización de su producto.
La temperatura
interna es ajustada girando el botón de control hasta la posición deseada.
Temperatura Mínima
Mediana Máxima
Situaciones de Uso
✔ Días fríos
✔ Pocos alimentos almacenados
✔ Poca frecuencia de apertura de puerta
✔ Situación intermedia
✔ Días calurosos
✔ Muchos alimentos almacenados
✔ Mucha frecuencia de apertura de puerta COMO OPERAR EL CONTROL DE TEMPERATURA
✔ Evite regular la temperatura de su refrigerador en la posición Mínima en días calurosos, con muchos alimentos almacenados y/o con mucha frecuencia de apertura de puerta. Esto causará un enfriamiento insuficiente, pudiendo haber pérdida de calidad de los alimentos, además de condensación interna.
✔ Para días fríos, con pocos alimentos almacenados y poca frecuencia de apertura de puerta, evite regular la temperatura de su refrigerador en la posición Máxima. Esto puede causar un enfriamiento excesivo en los alimentos y desperdicio de energía.
✔ Ajuste el control de temperatura de acuerdo a su necesidad. En el invierno o con poca utilización, la posición del control de temperatura puede ser disminuida.
