Temperature selection
The temperature of the freezer is controlled manually by the knob – see below. However
the number shown on the knob does not correspond to a temperature. The larger the
number, the lower the interior temperature will be. ‘0’ represents ‘off’ and ‘4’ and ‘5’
represents normal use. ‘1’ is the warmest setting and ‘7’ is the coldest.
Allow to stand for a minimum of 3 hours before plugging in to the mains
The temperature in the appliance is controlled by the temperature control dial located on
the frame above the freezer drawers. Rotate the control knob left or right to regulate the
temperature inside the freezer.
On the temperature control, ‘1’ is the warmest setting and ‘7’ is the coldest setting. Under
normal conditions the temperature control should be set between ‘4’ and ‘5’.
Once the temperature control has been set, close the door and plug in the appliance. We
recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 2.5 hours to allow the appliance
to reach the standard operating temperature.
