Temperature Controls
Regulator the temperature of the Freezer Chamber
- Using the refrigerator in normal, set the temperature controller at "Normal" position.
- Higher ambient temperature or need a higher temperature in freezer, set the temperature control slider at the “Summer” position.
●Lower ambient temperature or need a lower temperature in freezer, set the temperature control slider at the "Winter" position. (Note:we installed the temperature control slider in the Refrigerator Chamber.)
Principle
The temperature control slider is used to adjust the refrigerator and free temperature. The principle is that adjusting the position of the slide on the thermostat can balance the distribution of air flow volume of each compartment.
The temperature control slider allows you to regulate the temperature among position around "winter", "Normal" and "Summer".
- Higher ambient temperature(e.g. on hot summer days), move the slider to the "Summer" position; and more air flow in refrigerator and less in freezer, So the temperature in freezer will be higher than before.
- If you want a lower temperature in freezer(in case of too much frozen food or ice making in chamber), move the slider to the "winter" position; and more air flow in freezer and less in refrigerator, So the temperature in freezer will be lower than before and the power consumption will be increase.
Temperature control slider
