The temperature control automatically regulates the
temperature inside the appliance

1

11

11 = minimum cold temperature

5

55

55 = maximum cold temperature

It is recommended that a medium setting be used.

To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and
improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area”
located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart-
ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether
the compressor is operating or not.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat-
ing normally.

If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem-
perature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting
in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will
lead to an increase in energy consumption.
