Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
Important! Normally we advise you select setting of 2 or 3 or 4, if you want the temperature
higher or colder please turn the knob to warmer or colder setting accordingly. When you turn
the knob to colder which can lead to the more energy efficiency. Otherwise, it would result in
more energy consuming.
Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting (position
6 to 7) may cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop! The product cannot
be used for a long time in this condition.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to
maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
Note: High temperature setting will accelerate food waste.
