The temperature control automatically regulates the
temperature inside the appliance
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement
and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling
area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator com-
partment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may
be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on
whether the compressor is operating or not.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is oper-
ating normally. If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem-
perature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting
in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will
lead to an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the
temperature control to a lower setting so that
the appliance defrosts automatically.
