Temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. Storage temperature in the cabinet is even on
all of the shelf levels. The vegetable box which is
placed in the bottom has a temperature of 3-4°C
warmer than the intended temperature setting.

Measuring the temperature

If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.

Hints:

· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.

· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.

· Cover all foods properly.

Switching off

Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.

Power to the cabinet is completely
interrupted only when the power plug is
disconnected.
