Note
It normally takes about 24 hours before the storage temperature inside the fridge and the
freezing temperature inside the freezer are reached. The surrounding temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the location of the appliance can affect the internal
temperature of the freezer and therefore the amount of time required to reach operating
temperature.
Note
Reopening the freezer door immediately after closing it may be difficult. Please wait 2 or 3
minutes to enable the low pressure which has formed to be compensated for.
8.2 Adjustment and selection of the cooling temperature
The selector located in the upper part of the fridge and visible when the door is open is used to adjust
the cooling temperature inside the fridge compartment.
Attention
Position
“
”
corresponds to turning off the fridge freezer (the appliance is still supplied with
electricity but the green light will be off).
The operational settings range from “ “ to “
“.
Select the internal temperature according to your needs! Increasing the size of the “
” symbol
corresponding to the regulation reduces the temperature inside the fridge. Select the maximum settings
only if necessary: in these positions, in fact, temperatures close to 0° C can be reached in the fridge cell,
resulting in increased energy consumption. In normal usage conditions you are advised to select a
medium-low setting for proper conservation of fresh foods in the refrigeration zone.
Attention
Adjustment of the internal temperature of the freezer zone is controlled automatically and is
independent of the adjustments of the refrigeration zone.
