Temperature selection
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and for the freezer section are
set independently from one another.
^
Use a coin to turn the temperature
dial clockwise to the required setting.
Turn it only as far as it will go, then
turn it back again. Turning it beyond
its range would damage it.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
In normal use, a setting between 2 and
3 is generally sufficient. You should also
check the temperature inside the
appliance from time to time.
Freezer section temperature
display
During normal operation the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
warmest part of the freezer section.
Ranges of temperatures rather than
individual temperatures are shown. This
means that the temperatures displayed
are approximate.
If you have adjusted the temperature
selector in order to set a different
temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours
if the freezer is not very full
and
for
approx. 24 hours if the freezer is full
before checking the temperature
display, as it will take this long for the
display to show the accurate
temperature of the freezer. If the
temperature displayed is too low or too
high, then adjust the temperature once
more.
A temperature above -18 °C is no
cause for concern in the following
circumstances:
– when the appliance has just been
switched on,
– when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
– when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature remains
above -18 °C for a long time, check that
the frozen food has not started to
defrost. If this is the case, check that
the food is safe to use and if it is, then
use it as soon as possible.
