TEMPERATURE CONTROL 

AND ADJUSTMENT

Operating temperatures are controlled 
by the thermostat knob (see diagram) 
located on the ceiling of 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 (+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.
The normal storage temperature of the 
freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by 
adjusting thermostat knob towards 5 
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 m5 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.
