Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with different temperature positions and
one ÇOFFÈ ( ) position.
Position ÇminÈ = minimum cold
Position ÇmaxÈ = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
¥ Room temperature
¥ How often the door is opened
¥ How much food is stored
¥ Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
