TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT OF FRIDGE

Operating temperatures are controlled
by the thermostat knob (Fig. 1) and
may be set at any position between 1
and
5, 5 being the coldest position.
Towards 5 you will obtain a colder
fridge temperature and vice versa. Set
the thermostat
knob to ensure an average of +5 °C
(40°F) is achieved in the fridge and
between -1.5 °C and +3°C is achieved
in the Zero Degree Compartment after
24 hours.
(Fig. 2) shows how you can switch
off the appliance completely: Turn the
thermostat knob to "0" (Zero) position.
The average temperature inside
the fridge depends on the following
factors:
• Ambient temperature in the room
(seasonal changes)
• Frequency of door opening
• Placing hot food inside the product
• Position of the product
We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the
desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading
very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the appliance.
Please remember each time the door
is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore
never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is
put in or removed.
In case of a temporary ice build up in
the fridge compartment, reduce the
thermostat setting to 1. Once the ice
build up disappears and the appliance
starts auto defrosting again as normal,
then you may increase the thermostat
setting, if required.
