Turn off: rotate the knob back to position STOP (0).
Setting the temperature
• Higher settings (towards 7) selected with the knob
correspond to lower (cooler) temperatures. The temperature
in the refrigerator interior may drop below 0°C. Only use
higher settings when a lower temperature is desired and
recommended or when environment temperature is lower than
16°C. When the environment temperature is normal, a medium
setting is recommended.
• A change in the environment temperature affects the
temperature in the appliance. Hence, the thermostat setting
should be adjusted accordingly.
• When the thermostat knob is set to position STOP (0), the
appliance will not operate (cooling system is off); however,
the appliance is still powered (a light will illuminate the interior
when the refrigerator door is opened).
• The fan distributes the cool air in the refrigerator more evenly,
speeds up the cooling process, and reduces accumulation of
dew on the shelves. It only operates when the compressor is
in operation.
• Switching on the fan is recommended as an additional function
in the following cases:
- when room temperature rises (above 30°C),
- in case of higher humidity or when droplets of dew start to
accumulate on the shelves,
- when inserting larger quantities of food (rapid cooling).
• Switching the fan on and off
Switch on =
Warning: When the fan is switched on, power consumption
increases and the temperature in the refrigerator drops. Hence,
it is recommended to reset the temperature in the appliance
interior.
• Recommended settings:
- when fan is activated: position 1-4,
- without the fan: position 4-7.
Temperature setting for the refrigerator compartment also
indirectly affects the temperature in the freezer compartment.
