It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro-organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The appli-
ance is designed for use within spe-
cific ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use in ambient tem-
peratures for which it is not designed.

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in the refrigerator section.

In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the current average
refrigerator section temperature.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this tem-
perature to then be shown as a con-
stant temperature in the display.
