Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge Compartment
The control wheel on the front of the worktop adjusts the internal fridge
compartment temperature. The internal temperature should be 5˚C or colder
although some sections, such as the salad bin, will be slightly warmer.
The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the fridge, the room
temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (marked by a 3
and N on the dial) is usually suitable. If you need to adjust the temperature turn the
control wheel:
