Question 1

My RISNÄS refrigerator is cooling too much, how can I reduce the temperature?

Accepted Answer

If your RISNÄS refrigerator is cooling too much, it is usually because the thermostat is set too low. Fortunately, you can easily adjust it in a few seconds.

How to reduce the cold

Use the temperature adjustment button A located on the control panel at the top of the refrigerator. Press this button several times to increase the temperature and reduce the cooling intensity. With each press, an LED indicator lights up to show the new level.

The appliance will apply the new setting within 15 seconds following your action.

Available settings

The button offers 4 different temperature levels:

Factory setting (recommended): +4°C - ideal for most uses
Less cold levels: adjust with button A until you reach the desired temperature

Tip: If you have set the thermostat to the maximum cold level and want an intermediate temperature, press button A until you find the optimal level for your needs (usually between 2 and 4°C is sufficient).

Intermediate positions = gradual settings between these two extremes

Recommended setting

The ideal temperature for a refrigerator is around +5°C. Under normal conditions, set the thermostat to an intermediate position (between 2 and 4).

Important tips

When starting for the first time, set the thermostat and wait 24 hours before checking the temperature - the system needs to stabilize
If the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, turn to position 5 for better cooling
The coldest area is located just above the vegetable compartment
Frequent door openings increase the internal temperature
Always wait 24 hours after an adjustment before making another change
