The Controls.

The temperature in both the fridge and the freezer is regulated by one thermostat which is located inside the top right of the fridge compartment.

Turn the control knob clockwise from the OFF

(O)position to the required setting 1 - 7.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION -

Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0˚C

When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting.

Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance (choose the correct setting of the thermostat knob).

In the OFF (O) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), however the interior light will still operate when the door is opened.

OFF

INTEGRATED LOW AMBIENT/FAST FREEZE SWITCH -

The appliance has an integrated switch built into the control box housing, close to the thermostat knob.

This switch should be turned on (switch illuminated), when the ambient temperature is lower than 20˚C, to ensure normal operation of the appliance.

When the integrated switch is activated the compressor will operate for longer periods, the refrigerator and freezer temperatures will therefore be colder than normal.

NOTE: Also refer to the freezing procedure.
