The Controls. 

7

The appliance is controlled with a

thermostat knob, situated on the right

handside of the refrigerator  interior.

Turn the knob clockwise from SSTTO

OPP  ((0

0))

position towards 7 and backwards.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION -

Higher settings on the knob (towards 7)

mean lower temperatures (colder) in all

compartments of the appliance.

Temperature in the interior of the appliance

may even drop below 0°C.

When the ambient temperature is normal,

we recommend medium setting.

Changes of the ambient temperature affect

temperature in the interior of the appliance

(choose the correct setting of the thermostat

knob).

In SSTTO

OPP  ((0

0)) position the appliance does not

operate (the cooling system is switched off),

yet power supply is not interrupted (the light

is on when you open the door).
