Selecting the temperature

The set values can be changed, see Description of
control panel.
The factory has recommended and set the following
temperatures:
Refrigerator compartment
Cool fresh compartment:
almost 0 °C
Perishable food should not be stored warmer than +4 °C.
The temperature in the cool fresh" compartment has
been set to almost 0 °C at the factory and should not be
changed if at all possible. If frost forms on the refrigerated
food, the temperature can be increased. (See
Eliminating minor faults yourself".)
Note:
While the refrigerating unit is running, condensation or
frost forms on the rear panel of the refrigerator and
cool fresh" compartments. This is quite normal.
It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost.
The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the drainage channel and then to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.

Storing food in the appliance

Making use of different temperature
zones
The circulation of air within the refrigerator section gives
rise to different temperature zones.
+4 °C
The coldest zones are up against the rear wall and
D
at
just above the bottom shelf.
The warmest zone is at the very top, in front of the
D
door.
Keep items such as cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. This will mean that butter remains
easy to spread.
Please note
Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This
will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food.
In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods
and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.
We recommend you arrange food as follows:
On the shelves in the refrigerator: baked food,
D
cooked dishes, chill sensitive fruit and vegetables
In the fresh products refrigerator:
D
dairy products, meat and sausage
In the humidity drawer: vegetables, lettuce, fruit
D

D
eggs, tubes, small bottles, large bottles, milk,
fruit juice cartons
