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).
