COMBI OPERATION
Adjusting temperature
Follow these points:
The temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartment is controlled by the
temperature controller installed on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. We
strongly recommend you use a freezer thermostat to check that the temperature is below -
18°C before loading any food. This can take 2-3 hours.
The marks on the knob are the temperature grades, NOT the exact degree of temperature.
"0" is "OFF" and "7" represents the lowest temperature.
Please start with the knob set to position "4". Use a suitable thermometer to check the
temperature after 2 hours. The refrigerator temperature should be set between +2°C and +5°
and the freezer will vary between -18 and -25°C over a typical cycle. To reduce the refrigerator
temperature turns the knob towards "6" and check after one hour.
Super Freezing Function
Quick freezing allows moisture inside foodstuffs to form fine ice-crystals which prevent the
1.
cell membrane from being damaged and the cytoplasm being lost when unfreezing, thus the
original freshness and nutrition constituent of foodstuffs can be retained.
2.
Fresh meal and fish to be stored for long time must be done by quick freezing. To quick freeze
turn the temperature knob to setting "7" before adding food (the maximum allowable
capacity is 2.5kg at a time)
3.
After quick freezing, turn the knob back to the original position (Normally time for quick
freezing shall not exceed 4 hours).
Is the Refrigerator cold enough?
If you are at all concerned that your Fridge/Freezer is not being kept cold enough, or you
occasionally wish to check the temperature, you can purchase a Fridge/Freezer thermometer. These
are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer in the Fridge
compartment and leave overnight. The correct temperature should read between 0°C and 10°C.
Alternatively, place the thermometer in the middle basket of the Freezer compartment and leave it
overnight. The correct temperature should be -18°C or lower.
