general temperature control
The refrigerator control has temperature graduations for both compartments that vary from minimum (least cold) to maximum (coldest). If needs be, adjust the control and monitor the food for a couple of hours. You can readjust it until you obtain the desired refrigeration level. You will have to wait between 4 and 6 hours until the refrigerator reaches the selected temperature.
Minimum | Maximum |
|
Turn the knob towards Minimum for less chill or towards Maximum for greater chill.

note: For some models the temperature control is located on the exterior control or display. If your model has an external control or display, see page 72 to understand how it works.
air regulator
Your refrigerator has an additional control that regulates the air flow between the freezer and the cooler. It’s calibrated in the factory to ensure optimum function, so we recommend you don’t alter its position.
If you wish to adjust it, put a coin into the central slot. By turning it to the right
you’ll generate greater air flow to the
freezer, accelerating the freezing process. However, you’ll notice that the cooler will take longer to reach the correct temperature.
By turning the control to the left, the air flow to the cooler will increase, delaying the freezing process according to the following guide:

important
Changing the position of the air regulator will alter the time it takes the cooler to reach the correct temperature but not the temperature itself.
note: Do not overfill the refrigerator. Leave space between food and use the shelves provided to hold everything. This will facilitate the necessary air circulation and prevent it from lower performance.
