When the appliance is connected to the mains, the inside light switches on each time the door is opened. The thermostat, located inside the refrigerator compartment, is used to adjust the temperature of both the refrigerator compartment and low temperature compartment (if fitted). Appliance temperature adjustment: The thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment. The thermostat knob can be turned from position1 to 7 (coldest setting) to make the internal temperature colder. When set to O the appliance is switched off. To store food for a short period of time, set the thermostat between 1 (Min) and 3 (Med). Note: The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat. How to use the refrigerator compartment Position the food as shown in the figure. A Cooked food B Fish, meat C Fruit and vegetables D Bottles E Cheese Notes: • The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow circulation of air. • Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. • Do not place hot food in the refrigerator. • Store liquids in closed containers.
