THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES Thermostat Setting The freezer and refrigerator thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. In cold seasons you can set lower thermostat positions in order to decrease the energy consumption.
THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES • Do not start another adjustment before completing one adjustment. • When you first switch on the appliance, allow it to operate for 24 hours continuously to cool down to the correct temperature. During this initial 24 hour period do not open the door or place a lot of food inside the appliance.
THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES Chiller Shelf Keeping food in the Chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food to retain freshness and flavour longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When the chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water. (Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or sugar freeze at temperatures lower than that)
