Using your refrigerator
4
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (see diagram) located on
the ceiling of the 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.
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). This is quite
normal.
The normal storage temperature of the
freezer should be -18°C. Lower
temperatures may be obtained by adjusting
the thermostat knob towards position 5.
Check the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature. Remember to take the reading
very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after it has
been removed from the freezer.
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
added 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. Once the ice build up
disappears and the refrigerator starts auto
defrosting again as normal, then you may
increase the thermostat setting, if required.

correspond exactly with your refrigerator. If the parts are not included in the
refrigerator you have purchased, they may be model specific and therefore only
valid for some models.
