To ensure ideal temperatures for storing frozen foods, a setting
of “4” to “7” on the temperature controller is recommended.
Selecting “7” makes it possible to achieve temperatures under
0 °C in the coldest part of the fridge compartment.
An average temperature of approx. –18 °C is then established
in the freezer compartment
u Turn the temperature control Fig. 3 (1) .
The temperature depends on the following factors:

installed
- the type, temperature and quantity of frozen food
