temperature will rise very rapidly after

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you remove it from the freezer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please remember each time the door

 

 

 

 

 

 

is opened cold air escapes and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

internal temperature rises. Therefore

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

never leave the door open and ensure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it is closed immediately after food is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

put in or removed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operating temperatures are controlled

If the ambient (room or garage)

by the setting knob (see diagram)

temperature is between 0 °C and

located on the ceiling of fridge

-15 °C, we recommend you adjust

compartment. Settings may be made

the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C

from min, 1 ... 6, max, max being the

in the freezer compartment. Lower

coldest position.

temperatures may be obtained by

When the appliance is switched on

adjusting setting knob towards max

for the first time, the setting knob

position.

should be adjusted so that after 24

 

hours, the average fridge temperature

 

is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We

 

recommend you set the knob half

 

way between the min and max setting

 

and monitor to obtain the desired

 

temperature i. e. towards max 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.

 

The normal storage temperature of the

 

freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower

 

temperatures may be obtained by

 

adjusting setting knob towards max

 

position.

 

We recommend that you check

 

the temperature with an accurate

 

thermometer to ensure that the

 

storage compartments are kept to the

 

desired temperature.
