TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (see
diagram). Settings may be made from 1 to 5, 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.
Over ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) especially in
summer turn the thermostat knob towards 5. Under
ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) turn the thermostat knob
to a half way position.
Frequent door opening cause higher internal temperatures, so
close the door as soon as possible after use.
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.
