A medium setting is generally
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.

1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.

2.

Turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.

CAUTION! 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.
