Temperature Selection (° C)
j The interior temperature can be adjusted by
I turning the temperature selector wheel. The
I selected temperature is reached as quickly
as possible and maintained. A basic setting of
22° C/72° F is recommended. In order to avoid unde­
sirable temperature fluctuations, a set temperature
should be readjusted in small increments.
To override the automatic climate control, turn the
temperature selector wheel to either extreme end
position “MAX” or “MIN” .
“MIN” = Peak cooling performance: the system '
operates mostly with recirculated air and a small
amount of fresh air is added. If the fan control is set to
“AUTOM”, it will run continuously in speed No. 5.
“MAX” = Maximum heating performance. If the blower
control is set to “AUTOM”, it will run continuously in
speed No. 5.
