Using your refrigerator

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (see diagram). Settings
may be made from 1 to 5, the coldest position.When the appliance is switched
on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the
average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F ).We recommend you
set the thermostat halfway between the 1 and 5 setting and moni torto obtain the
desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will ob tain a colder fridge temperature
and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the
salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.Over ambient
temperatures of 25°C (77°F) especially in summer turn the thermostat knob towards
5. Under ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) turn the thermostat knob to a half
way position.Frequent door opening cause higher internal temperatures, so close
the door as soon as possible after use.In case of a temporary ice build up in the
fridge compartment reduce the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time
that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C (41 degrees F). Once the ice
build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then
you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.
