Cellar compartment 8 to 12 °C (46
to 54 F)
On appliances with a winter
setting, make sure that the winter
setting is switched off when the
room temperature is warmer than
16 °C.
Refrigerator section 4 to 5 °C (39
to 41 F)
Freezer section -18 °C (-2 F)
Use Open the door only when
necessary, and for as short a time
as possible.
Frequent opening of the door for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organized way. Disorganized contents will take
time to sort through, leaving the
door open too long.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
appliance.
Placing hot food in the appliance
will cause the compressor to run
for a long time, with the appliance
working harder to lower the
temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation
of liquids will cause a loss of
coldness in the refrigerator.
Place frozen food in the
refrigerator to defrost.
Do not overfill the appliance.
Leave some room so that air can
circulate properly.
Defrosting Defrost the freezer when a layer of
ice 1 cm thick has built up.
A layer of thick ice hinders cold air
from reaching the frozen food, and
causes an increase in energy
consumption.
