➢
It’s
suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether
possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
➢
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved
with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables)
may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper
drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
➢
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage
time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the
compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
