At the factory the refrigerator
compartment was set to +6 ºC.
Selecting the
temperature
The set values can be changed; see
description of the fascia.
We recommend a setting of +4 °C.
Perishable food should not be stored
warmer than +4 °C.
Operating tips
The temperature in the refrigerator and
coldĆstorage compartments drops
temporarily:
S if large quantities of fresh food are
frozen in the freezer compartment.
The temperature in the refrigerator and
coldĆstorage compartments rises
temporarily:
S if the appliance door is opened
frequently,
S if large quantities of food are placed in
the refrigerator or coldĆstorage
compartment.
Condensation or hoarfrost in the
refrigerator compartment
While the refrigerating unit is running,
condensation or hoarfrost forms on the
rear panel of the refrigerator and
coldĆstorage compartments. This is quite
normal.
It is not necessary to wipe off the
condensation or the hoarfrost. The rear
panel defrosts automatically.
The condensation runs down the
drainage channel Fig. 3 to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note: The coldĆstorage compartment is
3-4 ° C warmer than the refrigerator
compartment.
The refrigerator
compartment
Take note of the cold zones
in the refrigerating zone!
Due to the air circulation in the
refrigerating zone, zones with different
temperatures are produced:
•
Coldest zone
is between the arrow stamped on the side
and the glass shelf situated below, Fig. 4.
Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.
•
Warmest zone
is at the very top of the door.
Note: Store e.g. cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. When served, the cheese
will not have lost its flavour and the butter
will be easy to spread.
