5 Using your refrigerator

Setting the operating
temperature

Warm

The operating temperature is

regulated by the temperature control.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest

setting)

MAX. = Highest cooling setting

(Coldest setting)

Please choose the setting according

to the desired temperature.

The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of foods kept
inside.

Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.

Cold

The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position MAX.

We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments
are kept to the desired temperature.

Remember to take the reading

immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.
