To start the fridge and set the correct temperature

Switching on:

Switch on the fridge by pressing the power switch.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature flashes in the temperature display (The temperature can be set between +2°C and +8°C.) "+" raises the temperature. "-" lowers the temperature. Once set, the temperature display shows " -" until the temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below. Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the t emperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet. It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.

Temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°C. Storage temperature in the cabinet is even on all of the shelf levels. The vegetable box which is placed in the bottom has a temperature of 3-4°C warmer than the intended temperature setting.

Measuring the temperature

If the temperature is measured using a standard, single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly on the shelf.
