Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer is
regulated by a single thermostat with 6 temperature
positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position;
the intermediate position is usually the most suit-
able.
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
- room temperature
- how often the door is opened
- how much food is stored
- position of the appliance
lmportant
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible
that because a very low temperature has been select-
ed, the motor is working continuously, which prevents
the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is cor-
rect.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat to a higher number, however you should
turn the setting lower occasionally to allow
automatic defrosting.
The appliance is designed to operate in room temper-
atures of 16°C to 32°C, or down to 10°C if the ambi-
ent switch is switched on. The ambient switch should
be switched on when the room temperature drops
below 16°C (the incorporated lamp will illuminate). If
the room temperature drops below the above figures
the temperature in the freezer may rise above -18°C,
when safe storage of frozen can no longer be guaran-
teed. It is most likely that the ambient switch will need
to be depressed throughout the winter to allow for the
low overnight temperatures. No damage can be
caused by leaving the switch in this position for a peri-
od of time.
