The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior
temperature:
– Ambient temperature;
– Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
– Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left
open.
The following temperature settings can therefore only be consi-
dered as recommendations that may well need to be adapted to
suit your particular situation.
Recommended settings:
For normal use: position "1" to "2";
For lower temperatures: position "2" to "3".
0 Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid
of a coin.
The compressor starts and then runs automatically.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a
cold setting on the temperature regulator (position "3" to "4") can
cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor
must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the
appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic
defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is
not running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is the
build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer
setting (position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be
switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting will
recommence.
