Positioning

Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: for refrigerating appliances with climate class:

– extended temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C; (SN)
– temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C;(N)

Temperature setting recommendation

• Information above give users recommendation of temperature setting.

Impact on Food Storage

• Under Recommended setting, the best storage time of fridge is no more than 3 days.
• Under Recommended setting, the best storage time of freezer is no more than 1 month.
• The best storage time may reduce under other settings.

The interior temperature of the refrigerator is influenced by several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and how often the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the temperature.

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”.
