Always store raw meat and fish in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste, as well as liquids, should be stored in sealed containers or covered.
Use the front area of the base shelf only to temporarily set down refrigerated foods, for example while rearranging or sorting the contents.
Remember not to leave refrigerated foods here as they could shift to the back or tip over when you close the door.
Do not pack foods too closely together, as the air needs to circulate

Setting the temperature

The temperature can be set between 1 (warmest temperature, minimum cooling performance) and 7 (coldest temperature, maximum cooling performance).
The middle control setting is recommended, then a middle temperature of approx.5 °C is established in the refrigerator compartment.

An average temperature of approx. –18 °C is then established in the freezer compartment.
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

Turn the temperature control Fig. 3 (1).

The temperature depends on the following factors:

the door opening frequency
how long the door is open for
the room temperature at the site where the appliance is installed
