5 Using your refrigerator
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the thermostat knob (see diagram)
located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made
from 1 to 5, 5 being 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
half way between the 1 and 5 setting
and monitor to obtain the desired
temperature i. e. towards 5 you will
obtain 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.
The normal storage temperature of the
freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by
adjusting thermostat knob towards 5
position.
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 freezer.
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, 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.
