cONTROLLING THE TEMpERATURE

We recommend that when you start your refrigerator for
the first time, the temperature for the refrigerator is set to
3°C and the freezer to -18°C. If you want to change the
temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only
small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it's correct.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication
if your freezer is the right temperature, while feeling the
coldness of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way
of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
NOTE:
When you set a temperature, you set an average
temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.
temperatures inside each compartment may vary,
depending on how much food you store and where you
place it. High or low room temperature may also affect the
actual temperature inside the refrigerator.
If no button has been pressed for some time there may be
a delay of up to 2 seconds before the display responds,
this is normal and is a part of the display design to reduce
the chance of accidental changes..

manually, opening the door will not revert it back to
normal mode. To exit eco mode, simply press the eco/
holiday button until the word "normal" is displayed.
Use Eco mode when you're not using the refrigerator
all the time (eg. as a long-term storage refrigerator).
If the door is going to be opened a lot, switch back to
normal mode.
Remember, if eco mode is turned on manually, it won't
switch off automatically.

Use this button when you go on holiday or leave the house
for long periods. The refrigerator minimises defrosting to
save energy but maintains your temperature settings. To put
