Control

Refrigerator compartment
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment and in the door.

Refrigerating food
The coldest areas are directly above the vegetable compart‐ments and along the back wall. The warmest area is at the top front and in the door.*

Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling power goes down if ventilation is not sufficient.

• Always keep air slots clear.
• Store perishable foods such as ready-to-eat meals, meat and sausages in the coldest area. Place butter and preserves in the top area and in the door. (see 1 Appliance at a glance)
• Use reuseable plastic, metal, aluminium, glass containers and foil wrap to store food.
• 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.
• Do not pack foods too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.

Setting the temperature
The temperature can be set between the first point (warmest temperature, minimum cooling performance) and “max.” (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 estab‐lished in the freezer compartment.*

Turn the temperature control Fig. 2 (1).

It is possible for the temperature to be set slightly colder within a temperature zone, e.g. 4 to 5 or between two control points.
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
• the type, temperature and quantity of frozen food

Adjust the temperature as needed, using the control.
