TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT OF FRIDGE
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (seediagram). Settings may be made from 1 to 5, the coldest position. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, thethermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, theaverage fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F ).
We recommend you set the thermostat halfway between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.
Over ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) especially in summer turn the thermostat knob towards 5. Under ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) turn the thermostat knob to a half way position.Frequent door opening cause higher internal temperatures, so close the door as soon as possible after use.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment reduce the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C (41 degrees F). Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.
