7.3 Thermostat
The thermostat can be installed both inside and outside the refrigerated
compartment. In both cases, check that the thin hose provided with the sensor
is long enough (at least 70 mm) in order to connect the end of the evaporator
using a special clip or clamp with screws provided with supply. For large sized flat
evaporators, the fastening of a clip support on the top edge instead of the bottom
can result in a difference of temperature of even 5°C: mounting of a clip support on
the top edge results in lower compartment temperature at the same thermostat
setting. Connect the thermostat cables to the electronic unit, to the C, P and T tabs
(as indicated in the wiring diagram in this manual in the Electrical Connections
chapter). Models with large sized evaporators have a resistance on the cable
connection in correspondence with the T tab to set compressor speed (see wiring
diagram).
7.4 Thermostat-controlled temperature regulation
Unit temperature is regulated by the thermostat (Figure 8), which also includes
a power function if turned counter clockwise to the end position. To stop unit
operation, overcome the slight resistance of the knob up to its STOP position.
Thermostat knob gradation depends on the scale and on the unit of measure used.
To adjust temperature, proceed generally as follows: turning the knob clockwise, the
internal temperature goes down and vice versa. Keep refrigerator temperature at
5 - 6°C. The outside temperature could affect the inside of the compartment in which
the unit is installed, so it may be difficult to maintain proper internal temperature.
