The right temperature
When you press the buttons, you will see the following changes in the display:
–When first pressed: The last temperature selected flashes.
–Each subsequent press of the button: adjusts the temperature in increments of 1 °C / 1 F.
–Holding down the button will continue to adjust the temperature.
Approximately 5 seconds after you release the button, the current actual temperature of the refrigerator or freezer will automatically be shown.
If you have changed the temperature, you will need to wait approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full, or approx. 24 hours if it is full, before checking the temperature display again, because it will take this long for the display to show an accurate temperature. If, after this amount of time, the temperature is too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be selected from within the following ranges:
–in the refrigerator section from 2 °C to 11 °C (36 to 52 F)
–in the freezer section from
The room temperature and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to drop to the coldest temperature. If the room temperature is too high, it may not be
possible for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature.
Temperature displays
During normal operation, the temperature display shows the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section and the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.
If the temperature in the appliance is not within the range that the appliance is able to display, (below 0 °C (32 F) for the refrigerator section; above 0 °C (32 F) for the freezer), you will see flashing bars in the temperature displays.
The temperature displays flash under the following conditions:
–whenever a different temperature is being set,
–whenever the temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.
This
–when the door has been left open for a while, for example to take out or put in a large amount of food,
–when fresh food is being frozen.
