The temperature in the fridge or freezer section is too high

Temperature Control

The refrigerator's temperature is managed by a thermostat with six positions, ranging from minimum coldness (1) to maximum coldness (6), plus an 'OFF' position.

Freezing and Storage Functions

The freezer has a four-star rating, suitable for storing commercially frozen food and freezing fresh foods. For efficient freezing, the thermostat can be temporarily set to the coldest setting, but this may cause the refrigerator compartment's temperature to drop below 0°C, necessitating a reset to a warmer setting.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any cleaning or maintenance, the appliance should be switched off and unplugged. Internal cleaning can be done with warm water and bicarbonate of soda, avoiding soap or detergent to prevent lingering odors. The condenser and compressor should be dusted periodically to maintain performance and reduce electricity consumption.

Temperature Control

Set the thermostat to an intermediate position (usually 3-4) to maintain optimal temperature. Adjust based on room temperature, the frequency of door opening, and the volume of food stored.

Defrosting

Perform complete defrosting once or twice a year. Turn the thermostat to the 'OFF' position, remove food, leave the door open, and collect water using a container placed beneath the ice scraper. Clean and dry thoroughly before returning the food.

Door Maintenance

Ensure doors close properly by checking that nothing obstructs them and that the gasket is intact and clean. Avoid leaving doors open for long periods to minimize unnecessary compressor operation.
