MAKING TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS

After running your refrigerator for 24 hours, you can adjust
temperatures as needed. Make your adjustments small and
gradual, allowing time for temperatures to change and
stabilize. Refer to the following guidelines for temperature
settings.

Depending on which temperature standard you prefer to use,
you can set your control panel to display in fahrenheit or
centigrade. To change between fahrenheit and centigrade,
press the 

Mode 

button (located between the two digital

temperature displays).

WHAT TO DO IF THE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS

Electrolux service representative, who can interpret the
flashing message.
