OPERATIONGB
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position; the intermediate position is usually the most suitable. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment depends on the following factors:
-room temperature
-how often the door is opened
-how much food is stored
-position of the appliance
Important

To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number; however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.
