For the proper conservation of food in your refrigerator and in particular in the coldest area, make sure that the temperature indicator appears “OK”.

If “OK” does not appear, the temperature of the zone is too high.
Set the thermostat to a higher position. Wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat. After loading fresh food into the appliance or after repeated openings (or extended opening) of the door, it is normal for the temperature indicator not to display “OK”.
