Control
5.1.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature can be set between 1 (warmest temperature,
minimum cooling performance) and 7 (coldest temperature,
maximum cooling performance).
The middle control setting is recommended, then a middle
temperature of approx.5 °C is established in the refrigerator
compartment.
To ensure ideal temperatures for storing frozen foods, a setting
of “4” to “7” on the temperature controller is recommended.
Selecting “7” makes it possible to achieve temperatures under
0 °C in the coldest part of the fridge compartment.
An average temperature of approx. –18 °C is then established
in the freezer compartment.
Turn the temperature control
u
The temperature depends on the following factors:
- the door opening frequency
- the room temperature at the site where the appliance is
installed
- the type, temperature and quantity of frozen food
Adjust the temperature as needed, using the control.

6.1 Manual defrosting
Fridge compartment:
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The
defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the
compressor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly
normal.
Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
u
away (see 6.2) .
Freezer compartment:
A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment
after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is
opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside.
However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s
energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.
