TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (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 knob 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 knob 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 knob 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 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.

If the ambient (room or garage) temperature is between 0 °C and -15 °C, we
recommend you adjust the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C in the freezer
compartment. Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob
towards max position.
