Control Panel
The appliance controls are located in the top panel insi- de the refrigerator compartment.
Thermostat Control
The freezer and fridge thermostats control the tempe- rature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.
1. The Freezer Temperature Control
The freezer temperature control, regulates the tempe- rature within the freezer compartment. A change in the control setting in the freezer compartment could affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under certain circumstances.
7Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
•Room temperature
•How often the door is opened
•How much food is stored
•Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature settings, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes.
2. The Fridge Temperature Control
The fridge temperature control regulates the tempera- ture within the fridge compartment, by regulating the cold airflow. An intermediate setting is usually the most suitable, although some experimentation may be necessary to obtain the correct temperature.
5Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness Standby
Turn the control knob to the standby position if you wish to switch off the fridge, but leave the freezer in operation (for example, when on holiday). Leave the doors shut when in Standby operation.
3. ON/OFF Button
To switch the appliance on or off, press the ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. When the appliance is switched on, the ON/OFF button and the Freezer and Fridge control knobs will be illuminated.
4. The Door Alarm
If either of the doors are left open, the door alarm will sound and the alarm button will flash red. Press the alarm button to switch off the alarm, the light will stop flashing but will remain red. To switch off the alarm and the light shut the doors.
5. Temperature Alarm
If the internal temperature inside the appliance is too high for the safe storage of frozen food, an alarm will sound and the temperature alarm button light will start to flash. The temperature may rise for the following reasons:
•The doors have been left open
•There has been a power failure
•A large quantity of food has been added to the appliance.
•The thermostat controls may be incorrectly set.
•There is a fault.
To switch off the alarm, press the alarm button. The audible signal will stop. The light will stop flashing, but will remain on until the internal temperature has reached the correct storage temperature for frozen food.
6. Fast Freeze Button
Press the fast freeze button approximately 3 hours before freezing fresh food. Once the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function by pressing the fast freeze button. The fast freeze function will self cancel after 36 hours.
