Power level 3 + 4 :
medium level → optimal operating temp.
Temperature range approx. +3°C∼+7°C
Power level 5 + 6 + 7* :
highest level → coldest internal temp.
Temperature range approx. 0°C∼+6°C
*Beware of high setting because the maximum level
usually already means "freezing point".
The temperature of the chilling compartment is au-
tomatically controlled by the power level setting in the
fridge.
Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre-
quency of opening the door and the equipment.
During initial operation, adjust the coldest possible
temperature, until the appliance has reached the
desired operating temperature. Afterwards it is rec-
ommended to turn the control back to a medium set-
ting; correcting the temperature at a later point would
then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a low to medium power level works best
for an optimized food storage. A high power level
also increases the energy consumption.
Interior light
When opening the appliance door, the interior light
will turn on automatically.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
“Cleaning and Maintenance”).
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".
Storage space
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shel-
ves/drawers in their original position.
Fridge
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
Plastic bowl with lid
Special plastic covers with elastic strip
Aluminum foil
Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 5∼7
degrees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
