The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature 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,

–the more food that is placed in it,

–the warmer the food is which is being put into it,

–the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance.

The appliance is designed for use in specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

. . . in the refrigerator

We recommend a temperature of 5 °C in the middle of the refrigerator.

Setting the temperature

^Press the temperature selector button repeatedly until the indicator light for the temperature you want lights up in the display.

The first time you press the button the indicator light for the last temperature you set will flash in the display.

The temperature value will change up until the setting for 9 °C is reached. It will then drop back to the 1 °C setting.

The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while.

The indicator for the temperature which has been set for the refrigerator will light up constantly.

The temperature can be set slightly colder than shown in the display if wished.

The following example shows how this option works:
