The following information shows in the display while the sensors are being touched: – Touching a sensor once: the last temperature selected flashes.
The optimum temperature and air quality Air quality and humidity A conventional refrigerator with its low humidity level is not the best place to store wine. It is very important to store wine in an atmosphere with a high humidity level so that the corks remain moist on the outside. Low humidity causes corks to dry out from the outside so they do not seal the bottles as tightly. Wine should be stored lying down to keep the corks moist from the inside too.
The optimum temperature and air quality Air filtering with the Active AirClean filters Touch the sensor for switching the DynaCool function on and off so that it is no longer highlighted in yellow. The Active AirClean filters achieve optimum air quality by filtering the incoming air. Fresh air from the room enters the appliance via the Active AirClean filters.
