Turn the thermostat knob to regulate the temperature inside the refrigerator. The marks on the knob are not the exact number of the degrees of temperature but the temperature grades from “0” to “5”. The first grade corresponds to a forced STOP of the refrigeration and the 5th grade corresponds to the lowest temperature the refrigerator can produce. Turn the knob from “1”position to “5”position, the temperature decreases continuously. Set the thermostat knob to “2-3”position for a normal use.
