Low ambient operation
During prolonged periods of low ambient temperatures,ie;10¡C and lower, the compressor on single
compressor fridge freezers can remain inoperative during this time .
This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6¡C or under thus not
calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
