DAILY USE
Use of the fridge compartment
The temperature of this compartment may be regulated between +2°C and +8°C. During normal functioning the indicator shows the temperature inside the fridge.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the ap­pliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Important! If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the Temperature regulator must be set to a higher temperature
to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
