You need to learn the functions of the refrigerator and how to operate it through the control panel. Older refrigerators often have only one or two temperature control buttons while newer refrigerators will be equipped with a multi-function electronic control panel. In addition, the temperature adjustment levels and symbols are also different.

Temperature control for the right refrigerator

Older refrigerators have only one indoor unit, so there is only one temperature control button. The cold air from the freezer-freezer compartment above will radiate to the cooler below. For refrigerators of this type you do not have many options to adjust the temperature. Normally you can leave the temperature knob in the middle position - Mid, Medium, Colder, Optimal, Normal. When you want to increase the temperature of the refrigerator, turn the temperature knob counterclockwise to a small number - Min, Cold. When you want to reduce the temperature of the refrigerator, turn the temperature knob clockwise to a large number - Max, Coldest.

Refrigerators with two indoor units will have two separate cooling buttons for the freezer compartment - the freezer compartment and the cooler compartment, so it is very convenient for you to adjust the temperature according to your needs. For refrigerators of this type, you also adjust the temperature as above.

Some refrigerators, in addition to the temperature control button, will have an additional button to optimize the cold for the freezer - freezer and cooler compartments. For these types of refrigerators, you also adjust the temperature as above, but then you will add a button to optimize the cold according to your needs.

Normally you leave this button in the middle position – Optimal, the temperature will be at the optimal level set by the manufacturer.

If the food in the refrigerator is frozen or when you want to freeze the freezer - the freezer compartment to freeze faster, then pull the temperature optimization button to the right, Freezer - Max, Refrigerator - Min, the cold will be less in the cooler and at the same time in the freezer - the freezer will be colder.

On the contrary, if there is a lot of food in the refrigerator compartment, please adjust the temperature optimization button to the left, Freezer - Min, Refrigerator - Max, the cold will be increased in the cooler and reduced on the freezer. - freezer compartment.

Expensive new refrigerators will have a digital temperature control panel that clearly shows the temperature of the refrigerator and may additionally have other functions such as Power Cool, if cooling is desired. Please press this button quickly. The quick cooling function will be activated and after a few hours it will return to normal by itself.

All refrigerators have manuals attached, please read them carefully before use.
