5. Using your refrigerator
5.1 Temperature Control And Adjustment
The operating temperature is
regulated by the temperature control.
Warm Cold
1 2 3 4 5
(Or) Min. Max.
1=Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting).
5=Highest cooling setting (Coldest
setting).
The average temperature inside
the fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting
according to the desired
temperature.
Please note that there will be
different temperatures in the
cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door
is opened and the amount of foods
kept inside.
Frequently opening the door
causes the interior temperature to
rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
5.2 Thermostat setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the
following reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door
and leaving the door open for
long periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the
room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator
in the room (e.g. exposing to
sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying
interior temperature due to
such reasons by using the
thermostat. Numbers around
the thermostat button indicates
the cooling degrees.
• If the ambient temperature
is higher than 25°C, turn the
thermostat button to maximum
position.
• If the ambient temperature
is lower than 25°C, turn the
thermostat button to minimum
position.

5.3 Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food
and drinks.

6.1 Avoiding bad odours
•
Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the
inner surface of the refrigerator
as required can bring forth the
problem of odour. Pay attention
to following to avoid this
problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean
is important. Food residuals,
stains, etc. can cause odour.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator
with bi-carbonate dissolved in
water every few months. Never
use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed
containers. Microorganisms
spreading out from uncovered
containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and
spoiled in the refrigerator.
