Operating and Installation instructions

The correct temperature
21
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
- the more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept open
- the more food that is stored in it
- the warmer the food is that is being
put into it
- the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance is. The appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient tem-
peratures (climate range). Do not use
in ambient temperatures for which it
is not designed
... in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 39°F
(4°C) in the refrigerator section.
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the required tempera-
ture.
Setting the temperature
If the appliance door is opened very of-
ten, or if large quantities of food are be-
ing stored in the appliance, or if the am-
bient temperature is high, it is advisable
to set the temperature between 37°F
(3°C) and 41°F (5°C).
The temperature can be adjusted from
35°F (2°C) to 49°F (9°C).
 Press the  button until the tempera-
ture you want is shown in the temper-
ature display.
The first time you press the button the
last temperature set will flash in the dis-
play.
The temperature value will change up
until the setting for 35°F (2°C) is
reached. It will then drop back to 49°F
(9°C).
After a short while the newly selected
temperature is set automatically and will
appear in the temperature display.
The temperature in the appliance will
now adjust slowly to the newly set tem-
perature.
