Dynamic cooling

When the Dynamic cooling function is
not switched on, the natural circulation
of air in the appliance will cause
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will
sink to the lowest section of the
appliance. You should bear this in mind
when placing food in the appliance
(see "Using the refrigerator efficiently").
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, it is a good idea to switch on
Dynamic cooling. This way you can
distribute the temperature inside the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
The temperature is set as normal with
the temperature control.

Dynamic cooling should also be
selected when:

– the ambient temperature in the room

is high (above approx. 30 °C), and

– the room humidity level is high.

Switching on Dynamic cooling

^

Press the Dynamic cooling switch
above the fan to "I".

Switching off Dynamic cooling

^

Press the Dynamic cooling switch to
"0".

The fan automatically switches off
when the door is open.
