Temperature regulation

The temperature within the appliance is
controlled by the Temperature regulator sit­uated at the top of the appliance.
The temperature of the fridge compartment
may be regulated by rotating the Fridge

temperature regulator, and may vary be­tween more or less +2°C and +8°C.
The temperature of the freezer compart­ment may be regulated by rotating the
Freezer temperature regulator, and may
vary between more or less -15°C and

-24°C.
By turning the Temperature regulator, the
display flashes and shows the desired tem­perature.
For a correct storage of the food the follow­ing temperatures should be set:
+5°C in the fridge

-18°C in the freezer.
After having set the desired temperature, if
the Temperature regulator is not rotated
within 5 seconds, the temperature of the
freezer compartment will be indicated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol­lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to obtain the maximum coldness

• turn the Temperature regulator counter­clockwise to obtain the minimum cold­ness.

The intermediate position is usually the
most suitable.
However, 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.
