P a g e
The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit, towards the
upper right‐hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward the
higher numbers for colder temperatures.
Temperature Controls
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower
temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance.
On the coldest settings temperatures in some spots of the
interior of the appliance may even drop below 32°F. Use
higher thermostat settings only when required or
recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal,
we recommend the medium setting.
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the
appliance so choose a correct setting of the thermostat knob, depending on your
ambient conditions.
In the STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open
the refrigerator door).
The temperature in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment also depend on
how often you open the door.
In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are
coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents
accordingly. It is best not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures
are erratic, try putting some water bottles or freezer packs inside to create a
load for the compressor.
Digital Thermostat Instructions
If you find that it is necessary to change the temperature setting for your digital
thermostat controlled appliance, please refer to the following instructions. The front
