The fridge should be able to regulate temperatures between 0.5 degrees in the coldest part up to 5 degrees in the warmest part.

Try not to overfill your appliance, keeping it too full will prevent a good circulation of air and may result in unstable temperature levels.
- 3. We recommend that you adjust the thermostat setting to number 3 or to the midway point of the indicator line.The lower the number setting, the lower the cooling power (resulting in a higher temperature).
The higher the number setting, the higher the cooling power (resulting in a lower temperature). - 4. Most freezers are pre-set to operate between -18°C and -26°C, this is within recommended guidelines.
- 5. We recommend that prior to putting large amounts of food into your freezer you switch on the ‘fast freeze’ function (if your appliance has one) for 24 hours beforehand to ensure the correct temperature is achieved.
