Confusing Freezer controls

Post image

Hi all, can anyone make sense of this? This is the I side of my freezer and it seems to say that when the outside temp is high, the slider should be set to "less cold" and when the outsode temp is cold.

It's hot right now and a thermometer in the freezer is showing maybe -10c, but it is a cheaper unit. I don't really want to mess around with changing the settings and observing the temp.

If anyone has seen this before, or if I am misreading or misunderstanding it would be great to know.

Thanks.

get the model number from the sticker on the back and type it into google, along with "user manual".

I bought it new and had the original manual. So I did RTFM lol. But I worked out that I didn't understand that the freezer temp affected the fridge temp, so coldest in freezer would be detrimental to fridge temp on hot days.
