• What is the optimal temperature in the fridge / freezer?

Applies to

• Fridge freezers
• Freezers
• Fridges

Resolution

For typical food storage, we recommend setting the fridge to approximately 4°C and the freezer to around -18°C.

Maintaining these temperatures supports standard food storage conditions. For appliance‑specific recommendations, refer to the user manual.

You can check the temperature of your fridge by placing a thermometer in a glass of water that has been in the fridge for a few hours.

Increase slightly the set temperature in the summer season.

The optimal ambient temperature of the appliances should be 20-25°C.

The highest number on a rotary dial will be the coldest temperature in the fridge, 0 will turn off the fridge and 6-7 will be the coldest.

Please see below a short video on setting your fridge temperature on LED, rotary dial and Touch display fridges, you can find more specific information in your user manual, which can be found in the link on the right side of this page
