Using the fridge
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.
