It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Micro organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is put
into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures (cli-
mate ranges). Do not use in ambient
temperatures for which it is not de-
signed.
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of
5 °C
in the middle of the appliance.
Temperature selection
Use the temperature selector to select
the temperature.
^
Turn the temperature selector to a
setting between 1 and 7.
The higher the setting the lower the
temperature in the appliance. A middle
range setting is usually sufficient.
It is advisable to select a higher setting
(between 4 and 7) if the door is opened
frequently, large quantities of food are
stored in the refrigerator or there is a
high ambient temperature.
Temperature display
During normal operation the tempera-
ture display on the control panel shows
the temperature in the warmest part of
the appliance.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range which can be dis-
played, i.e. between 0 and 9 °C, only a
bar will show in the temperature dis-
play.
Natural air circulation inside the appli-
ance will mean that there are areas in-
side the appliance which will be
warmer or colder than the temperature
displayed. This is quite normal.
Make use of the different temperatures
for storing your food correctly.
