CONTROLLING THE FREEZER TEMPERATURE
The freezer temperature
can be set between
-16°C and -25°C to suit your particular needs. Press the Freezer
button repeatedly until
the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.
Keep in mind that foods like ice cream may melt at -16°C. The temperature display will move sequentially from -16°C and -25°C.
When the display reaches -16°C, it will begin again at -25°C.
Five seconds after the new temperature is set the display will again show the actual current freezer temperature.
However, this number will change as the Freezer adjusts to the new temperature.
CONTROLLING THE FRIDGE
TEMPERATURE
The refrigerator temperature
can be set between 5°C and 1°C to suit your particular
need. Turn the Fridge lever clockwise
or counter clockwise until the desired temperature is shown in the cover damper. When storing large quantities
of food to be refrigerated or temperature is not cold enough, Adjust the temperature control to the “COLDER” position.
When using MID range, adjust the temperature control to the halfway position between COLDER and COLD. When the food refrigerated is frozen, or there is a small quantity of food, adjust the temperature control to the COLD position.
If you are going on a long vacation or business trip or you do not need to use the refrigerator, adjust the temperature control to the“VACATION”position.
The refrigerator is switched off but the freezer remains on.
You must empty the refrigerator before CAUTION adjusting the Vacation position.
The temperature of the freezer or the refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too frequently, or if a large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.
This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the freezer and refrigerator return to their normal set temperatures the blinking will stop. If the blinking continues, you may need to “reset” the refrigerator.
Try unplugging the appliance, wait about 10 minutes and then plug back in.
