5Using your refrigerator
Temperature 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,
• Foods put into the refrigerator
without decreasing the temperature
to room temperature.
• The location of the refrigerator in
the room (eg. exposing to sunlight)
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature using the thermostate.
If the ambient temperature is higher
than 32°C, switch the thermostate
button to maximum position.
Defrost
It is normal when ice particles form
on the back wall during the operation.
These do not need to be scratched
or wiped out. Your refrigerator
makes automatical defrost. Water
formed after defrost flows into the
evaporation container via the drain
pipe through the water collecting
chute, and here it evaporates
automatically.
•Check periodically whether the
evaporation pipe is clogged and
unclog it using the stick in the hole if
necessary.
