Using your refrigerator
4
Figures represented in this instruction manual are schematic and may not
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.
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (see diagram) located on
the cabinet top trim, visible when the
refrigerator door is open.
Settings may be made from 1 to Max, Max
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 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). 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 the
Max position.
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°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.
