Temperature Control And Adjustment - Belling BE817 Installation And User Instructions Manual

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the
ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be
made from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first
time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that
after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature
is no higher than +5 C (+41 F). We recommend
you set the thermostat half way between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor
to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder
fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be
cooler or warmer (such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet)
which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18 C (0 F).
Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting thermostat knob towards
5 position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the
desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce
the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the
fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once
the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting
again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if
required.
