5 Using your refrigerator
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the control (see diagram) located
on the ceiling of fridge compartment.
Settings may be made from min, 1
... 6, max, max being the coldest
position.
When the appliance is switched on
for the first time, the setting 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 control half
way between the min and max setting
and monitor to obtain the desired
temperature i. e. towards max 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 setting towards max 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 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.
