OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
➢Temperature Control Panels
Refrigerator Temperature Control Freezer Temperature Control
➢Setting the Temperature Control
The temperature inside the refrigerator is controlled by the potentiometer installed in the refrigerated
room. The temperature inside the refrigerator varies depending on the opening and closing doors of the
refrigerator, the ambient temperature, and the place of placement.
Under normal operating conditions (spring and autumn), it is recommended to set the cold room and
cold room temperature control gear in the middle gear.
In the case of high ambient temperature in summer, it is recommended to set the freezing room gear
position in the middle gear in order to avoid high storage temperature of the refrigerator.
In the case of low temperature in winter, it is recommended to set the freezing room gear in the
strongest gear in order to avoid excessive storage temperature in the freezer.
During the actual use, the freezer air adjustment lever may get frozen as a result of high humidity or
frequent opening of the door. In such case, do not adjust the air lever by force; Instead, you are
suggested to heat the air adjustment lever locally using a hot towel to make the frozen air lever thaw
before adjusting it, so as to avoid it from being damaged.
Refrigeration chamber temperature adjustment
1. When the refrigerator temperature adjustment knob from the "5" to the "1" , the refrigerator
temperature gradually increased.
2. When you want to strengthen the refrigeration room cooling, the refrigerator temperature adjustment
knob to "5" direction adjustment, so that the compressor running time will be extended, the refrigerator
temperature will be reduced accordingly.
Freezer temperature adjustment
1, When the refrigerator temperature control knob to remain in the same position, adjust the settings
freezer volume slider in position "MAX", will provide the greatest amount of freezing cold, which leads to
the lowest temperature in the freezing chamber.
2, When the refrigerator temperature control knob to remain in the same position, adjust the settings
freezer volume slider in position "MIN", will provide the minimum amount of cold freezer, which resulted
in the highest temperature in the freezing room.

Refrigerator Temperature Control Freezer Temperature Control
Como graduar la temperatura
La temperatura dentro del refrigerador está controlada por el potenciómetro instalado en la sala
refrigerada. La temperatura dentro del refrigerador varía según las puertas de apertura y cierre del
refrigerador, la temperatura ambiente y el lugar de colocación.
En condiciones de funcionamiento normales (primavera y otoño), se recomienda colocar la cámara
frigorífica y el engranaje de control de temperatura de la cámara fría en la marcha intermedia.
En el caso de una temperatura ambiente alta en verano, se recomienda configurar la posición de
marcha de la cámara de congelación en la marcha intermedia para evitar una temperatura de
almacenamiento elevada en el refrigerador.
En el caso de baja temperatura en invierno, se recomienda configurar el engranaje de la cámara de
congelación en el engranaje más fuerte para evitar una temperatura de almacenamiento excesiva en el
congelador.
Durante el uso real, la palanca de ajuste del aire del congelador puede congelarse debido a la alta
humedad o la frecuente apertura de la puerta. En tal caso, no ajuste la palanca de aire por la fuerza; En
su lugar, se recomienda calentar la palanca de ajuste de aire localmente con una toalla caliente para
que la palanca de aire congelado se descongele antes de ajustarla, a fin de evitar que se dañe.
Ajuste de temperatura de la cámara de refrigeración
1. Cuando la perilla de ajuste de la temperatura del refrigerador del "1" al "5", la temperatura del
refrigerador disminuye gradualmente.
2. Cuando desee fortalecer el enfriamiento de la sala de refrigeración, ajustar la perilla de ajuste de la
temperatura del refrigerador al ajuste de la dirección "5", para que el tiempo de funcionamiento del
compresor se extienda, la temperatura del refrigerador se reducirá en consecuencia.
NOTA:
NO RECOMENDAMOS la instalación de la unidad donde la temperatura descienda de los 50 °F
(13ºC) o aumente sobre 110ºF (43ºC). El compresor no podrá mantener las temperaturas
adecuadas dentro del refrigerador.
Para instalaciones donde las temperaturas bajarán por debajo de los 50ºF (13ºC); Ajuste el
control de temperatura del congelador al ajuste "MÁS FRÍO" o la posición “4” a la derecha.
Esto mejorará las operaciones del refrigerador bajo estas condiciones.
CUIDADOS EN LOS PERIODOS DE AUSENCIA
•Para cortos períodos de ausencia (menos de 21 días) el congelador podrá quedar funcionando.
Coloque el botón de control de temperaturas en la posición mínima.
•En períodos de ausencia más largos, se aconseja dejar el refrigerador limpio y desconectado.
•Retire todo lo que tenga adentro del refrigerador y haga el deshielo y la limpieza general. También
retire las cubeteras, limpie bien y séquelas internamente.
•Deje la puerta entreabierta para penetre el aire y así evitar la formación de olores.
