Electronic models

The  electronic  display 
panel  consists  of  an 
LCD  display  with  white 
backlighting  and  6  push 
buttons. When the power 
is first turned on, you will 
see  the  default  settings, 
with the white backlighting 
on.

If no buttons have been pressed and the fridge door is 
closed the backlighting will turn off after 30 seconds.

Adjusting temperatures

The  default  temperature  for  the  refrigerator  is  3°C,  with 
a default of -18°C for the freezer. If you want to change 
the temperatures, use the instructions below. You should 
make  only  small  adjustments  and  wait  24  hours  to  see 
whether you need to make further changes.

Note: When you set a temperature, you set an average 
temperature  for  the  whole  refrigerator  cabinet. 
Temperatures  inside  each  compartment  may  vary, 
depending on how much food you store and where you 
place it. High or low room temperature may also affect the 
actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

Changing the freezer temperature

Press  the 

freezer  button

 

to  make  the  freezer  colder 
in  1°C  steps.  Once  -23°C 
is  reached  the  display  will 
return to -14°C with the next 
button  press.  You’ll  notice 
that  the  bar  graph  gets 
smaller  with  colder  freezer 
settings. 

Changing the  refrigerator temperature

Press the 

fridge button

 to 

make  the  fridge  colder  in 
1°C steps. Once 0.0°C is 
reached  the  display  will 
return  to  7.0°C  with  the 
next  button  press.  The 
bar  graph  gets  smaller 
with colder settings.

Note: Testing ice cream is a good way to test the freezer 
temperature.  Testing  drinking  water  is  a  good  way  to 
check the refrigerator compartment temperature.

Fast freeze function.

Use  the  fast  freeze  function 
when  you  add  a  large 
amount  of  food  to  the  freezer 
compartment.  This  freezes 
the  food  quickly  but  does  not 
affect  the  temperature  in  the 
refrigerator compartment.

To use this function, press the 

fast freeze button

 once. An 

animated icon will light up. The fast freeze function will 
now operate for 90 minutes. If you want to turn the fast 
freeze function off before 90 minutes have passed, simply 
press the fast freeze button again. The icon will disappear 
and the refrigerator will return to normal operation.

Freezer temperature alarm.

If  the  alarm  is  sounding  for 
no  apparent  reason,  check 
whether anything is holding the 
door  open.  Closing  the  door 
resets the alarm for a further 2 
minutes.

If  the  freezer  becomes  too 
warm  due  to  the  freezer  door 
being left open or warm food being placed too close to 
the  temperature  sensor  in  the  freezer  (see  page  4  &  5, 
Parts of your refrigerator for the sensor location). A buzzer 
will  sound,  the  icon  adjacent  to  the  alarm  reset  button, 
the  freezer  set  temperature  and  bar  graph  will  all  flash 
until the alarm reset button is pressed. Once pressed the 
alarm disable icon adjacent to the alarm reset button will 
illuminate for 50 minutes, or  until the temperature reaches 
an acceptable level.

Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and 
move any warm food away from the temperature sensor. 
See  page  5  &  6  (Parts  of  your  Refrigerator)  for  more 
information.  

If the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes the alarm 
will sound again, indicating that something may be wrong 
with your refrigerator.

Note: The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for 12 
hours by pressing the alarm reset button continuously for 
10 seconds.
