Temperature controls

adjusting the thermostat
The internal temperature of your elan is
controlled by a thermostat as shown below.
The dial has 6 temperature settings. When
your elan was manufactured the dial was set
to between 3 and 5, the correct setting for
normal room temperature. You can adjust
the temperature by turning the dial.
Setting 6 will make the fridge or larder
coldest.
It may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot or
particularly cold room or if you often open
the door.
you can check the temperature
A few days after you start using your elan you
may wish to check it is running at the correct
temperature. You'll need a special
Fridge/Freezer thermometer. These are
available from most supermarkets and
hardware shops.
Temperature controls
Check the thermostat knob is set between
3 and 5. Put the thermometer in the coldest
part of your fridge or larder (just above the
salad bin) or in the icebox. You should be
able to read it quickly, without moving it
when you open the door. Close the door and
leave it overnight.
The next morning, read the temperature. It
should be between 0°C and 5°C in the
fridge, -12°C or below in the icebox of 2 star
refrigerators and -6°C or below in 1 star
refrigerators. If it isn't, adjust the thermostat
dial half a number (e.g. from three and a
half to four).
110 litre refrigerators have iceboxes rated as
one star, 132 litre, or greater, refrigerators
have iceboxes rated as two stars.
