position « ● ».
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with 5 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (
● ) position.
Position «-16°C» = minimum cold
Position «-24°C» = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position (-18°C) is usually the most
suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
l Room temperature
l
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.

a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
