• The temperature inside the refrigerator can be selected by turning the
thermostat control.
• Remenber that the temperature is not totally uniform within the
interior as a whole and different sections are more suitable for different
types of food (as shown in the diagram).
• The temperature inside the refrigerator can be affected by the
ambient temperature, the location of the refrigerator and the frequency
with which the door is opened. In the event of very high room
temperatures, midrange setting of the thermostat will generate the best
results.

• NEVER place volatile, inflammable or explosive liquids in the
refrigerator, such as solvents, alcohols, acetone or petrol as there will
be a risk of explosion.
