Basic temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments

The basic temperature and/or recommended temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are
-19°C and 3°C respectively.
If the temperature of Freezer and Refrigerator Compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature
manually.

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The Freezer temperature can be set between -14°C and -25°C to suit your particular needs. Press the
Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in
mind that foods like ice cream may melt at -15°C.
The temperature display will move sequentially from -25°C to -14°C. When the display reaches -14°C,
it will begin again at -25°C. Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the display will again show
the actual current freezer temperature until the new temperature is reached.

Controlling the Refrigerator temperature

The Refrigerator temperature can be set between 7°C and 1°C as your particular needs. Press the
Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. The
temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process. Press the Fridge button
to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin adjusting towards the newly
set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.
The temperature of the Freezer or the Refrigerator may rise when you open the doors too frequently, or if a
large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.
This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the Freezer and Refrigerator temperature return to their
normal set temperatures, the blinking will stop.
If the blinking continues, you may need to “reset” the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the appliance, wait for
around 10 minutes and then plug the power cord back in.
