Vacation Mode
If you think that you will be away from your refrigerator
for an extended period and would like to take advantage
of maximum energy efficiency. Then, from Normal Mode,
press the Eco / Vacation button twice in succession just
before you leave and the refrigerator will enter Vacation
Mode, as indicated by the aeroplane symbol. (If in Eco
Mode a single button press is all that is required to enter
Vacation Mode).
Vacation Mode is exited automatically once the
refrigerator door is opened and Normal Mode resumes.
Eco and Vacation Modes minimise defrosting to save
energy, while maintaining your temperature settings.
Note: Opening the freezer door has no effect on the
Set the temperature by using the main temperature controls at
the rear of the refrigerator compartment. When you first start
your refrigerator, set both refrigerator and freezer controls to
MID. The refrigerator temperature control is affected by altitude
and it is recommended that it be set warmer to compensate. E.g.
At 1000 metres above sea level set the refrigerator temperature
control to one setting warmer than MID.
WAIT 24 HOURS AFTER CHANGING SETTINGS: When you
change temperature settings, make small adjustments and
wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to make any
further changes.
