temperature control & 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 and freezer 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 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.
When you set the thermostat knob to 0 [Zero] position, the appliance will
be switched off completely.
