Setting the temperature • Higher settings (towards 7) selected with the knob correspond to lower (cooler) temperatures. The temperature in the refrigerator interior may drop below 0°C. Only use higher settings when a lower temperature is desired and recommended or when environment temperature is lower than 16°C. When the environment temperature is normal, a medium setting is recommended. • A change in the environment temperature affects the temperature in the appliance. Hence, the thermostat setting should be adjusted accordingly. • When the thermostat knob is set to position STOP (0), the appliance will not operate (cooling system is off); however, the appliance is still powered (a light will illuminate the interior when the refrigerator door is opened). Fan (only with some models) • The fan distributes the cool air in the refrigerator more evenly, speeds up the cooling process, and reduces accumulation of dew on the shelves.
