Starting up - Temperature regulation

Note: From a food safety point of view, +5°C for the refrigerator com-

partment and -18°C for the freezer compartment should be con-

sidered cold enough as a storage temperature.

The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior tem-

perature:

– Ambient temperature;

– Quantity and temperature of the food stored;

– Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left

open.

– A defect in the appliance.

The temperature regulator setting may therefore need to be adjusted

to suit the specific conditions.

Recommended settings:

Examples:

Note: At the setting given under the table “Recommended settings”

the fridge has an average temperature of approx. +5°C; the average

temperature in the freezer compartment is then approx. –18°C or cold-

er. These figures apply at ambient temperatures from +16°C to +32°C.

At higher ambient temperatures, fresh food is properly frozen with the

regulator set to "2", without the fridge becoming too cold.

3. If you want a higher or lower temperature, turn the temperature regu-

lator to a warmer or cooler setting respectively.

Important!

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-

ting on the temperature regulator (position"3" to "4") can cause the

compressor to run continuously.

Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must

run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.

The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the

fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also
