Setting the temperature
The temperature is set using the
temperature dial.
^
Turn it to a setting between 1 and 5.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
A middle range setting is usually
sufficient.
However, if frozen food is to be stored
in the freezer compartment then a
setting of between 4 and 5 is
recommended to ensure that the
required temperature in the freezer
compartment is maintained.
It is also advisable to set the
temperature within this range if the door
is opened frequently, large quantities of
food are stored in the refrigerator
section or there is a high ambient
temperature.
Winter setting (for ambient
temperatures lower than 16°C)
If the ambient temperature in the room
drops below 16°C, the compressor will
start up less frequently. Under these
circumstances, the freezer can become
too warm, and the food in the freezer
can even begin to defrost.
If this should occur:
^ Press the switch behind the
temperature selector so that the red
mark on the switch is visible.
The interior lighting will come on using
reduced energy, even when the door is
closed, and warm up the refrigerator.
The warmth created by the light being
on causes the compressor to start up
more frequently and thus lower the
temperature in the freezer section
again. The interior light will stay on until
the switch is pressed again, hiding the
red mark.
The freezer can maintain its coldness
using this setting providing the ambient
temperature surrounding the appliance
remains above 10°C. Please be aware
that the appliance will not work
correctly if the ambient temperature
drops below 10°C.
