It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
–the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put...

If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very fullandfor
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
full, before checking the temperature
display as it will take this long for the
display to show the accurate
temperature of the appliance. If, after
this time, the temperature is still too
high or too low, you will need to adjust it
again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from:
4 °C to 9 °C

Temperature display
During normal operation, the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the average temperature
in the refrigerator section.
If the temperature is not within the
range that the appliance is able to
display (0 °C to 19 °C), bars will flash in
the temperature display.
Thetemperature display will flash, if
–a different temperature is being set,
–the temperature in the appliance has
risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.
This loss of coldness...

Your appliance has been fitted with an
alarm to avoid energy being wasted if
the door is left open and to prevent
stored food becoming too warm.
The alarm will sound if the door is left
open for more than approx. 60
seconds. The alarm will stop as soon as
the door is closed.
If you want to keep the door open for
more than approx. 60 seconds,
intentionally, we recommend that you
switch the alarm off.Switching the alarm off early

Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator
section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the
lowest section of the appliance. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
normally directly above the vegetable
containers. In this appliance,...
