• Integrated Fridge Freezers

Resolution

1. It is not possible to assign a specific temperature in the refrigerator compartment to a number on the rotary selector, as the temperature in the refrigerator compartment depends on various factors, such as the ambient temperature.

The level on the rotary selector does not show the temperature at °C !

• Level 1 means the warmest level
• Level 6 or 7 means the coldest level
• Level 0 means turning the fridge off

2. When starting up for the first time, select a medium level and correct this setting if necessary.

3. To check the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, you can put a thermometer in a glass of water and place it on the middle glass shelf.

• Read the temperature after a few hours. It should be between + 2°C and + 8°C.
• The ideal storage temperature is around 4°C.

4. If the food and drinks are too cold for you, set a lower number on the thermostat.

If the food and drinks are too warm, choose a higher number.
