Control panel - Appliance with mechanical regulation

ON/OFF button ON/OFF button
Fan (only with some Fan (only with some
models) models)
The appliance is switched on/off by turning the temperature
selector (see Fig.) to any position from 0 to 7.
The appliance operation is controlled by turning the thermostat
(temperature selecting button) located within the refrigerator
cabinet from the position STOP (0) to the position 7 and back.
Temperature setting
• The higher the position of the temperature selector (towards
position 7) the lower is the temperature (cooler) within the
cabinet of the appliance. Interior temperature in the refrigerator
may even fall below 0°C. Higher position settings are to be
used on in case of recommended low cooling temperature, or
if the ambient temperature is below 16°C. In case of standard
ambient temperature we recommend the medium setting.
• Change in the ambient temperature affects the temperature of
the appliance, so the position of the temperature selector should
be adjusted accordingly.
• In the STOP (0) position the appliance is switched off (cooling
system is off). However, the appliance is still powered (light bulb
is turned on if you open the refrigerator door).
• Operation of the fan results in more uniform distribution of
temperature, faster cooling, and reduced accumulation of
dew on the storage surface. The fan only operates when the
refrigerator door is closed.
• Activating the fan is recommended as an additional function in
the following conditions:
- increased temperature in the room (over 30°C),
- increased humidity (during summertime),
- when inserting larger quantities of food (fast 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.
