See fig. 1, page 1
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob
1
(fig. 1) by
turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside the thermostat
knob.
The temperature is regulated on the scale:
0
= Compressor is switched off.
WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.
1
= highest temperature (lowest cooling)
7
= lowest temperature (highest cooling)
THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
FOODSTUFFS, AND HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED.
IF THE ROOM IS COOL, THE APPLIANCE COOLS LESS. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE
APPLIANCE MAY THEREFORE RISE. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.
STORAGE ZONES IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the
refrigerator chamber. The most appropriate compartments of the appliance where specific types of
food are to be stored, taking into account different temperature distribution in different compartments
in the appliance, are as follows:
1)

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
-
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
-
