TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT OF FRIDGE
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (Fig. 1) and may be set at any position between 1 and
5, 5 being the coldest position. Towards 5 you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Set the thermostat
knob to ensure an average of +5 °C (40°F) is achieved in the fridge and between
(Fig. 2) shows how you can switch off the appliance completely: Turn the thermostat knob to “0” (Zero) position.
The average temperature inside the fridge depends on the following factors:
•Ambient temperature in the room (seasonal changes)
•Frequency of door opening
•Placing hot food inside the product
•Position of the product
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the appliance.
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.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce the thermostat setting to 1. Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.
