• 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 dial must be
set to a higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.
