Setting the temperature Both compartment temperatures are regulated by the same thermostat dial, which is found to the right of the control panel at the top of the door frame when the fridge door is open. The thermostat can be moved between 1 (least cold) and 5 (coldest). Thermostat settings: 1-2 For short term storage of food 3-4 For long term storage of food 5 For freezing fresh food. Once the food has been frozen, the thermostat should then be turned back to the required setting between 1 and 4.

Green Power light This light is illuminated when the power supply to appliance is on. C. Red Temperature Warning light This light is illuminated when the freezer compartment temperature is too warm.
Defrosting the fridge The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge. It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance.
