TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND OTHER USEFUL TIPS
COLDEST ZONE INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR
The symbol at the side indicates the coldest zone
in the refrigerator.
The coldest zone usually goes from the glass shelf
of the crisper drawer at the bottom of the
refrigerator to the symbol or rack positioned at
the same height.
To maintain the temperature in this zone, be
careful not to change the position of the rack.
The coldest zone symbol is not indicated in refrigerators with forced air system (No-Frost), as the
temperature is even throughout the entire refrigerator.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
For optimum temperature adjustment, the refrigerator is provided with a temperature indicator to
allow you to control the average temperature in the coldest zone.
IMPORTANT: The indicator is designed to operate with this refrigerator only.
Do not use it with any other refrigerator (the coldest zone is not the same)
or for any other use.
If the refrigerator is provided with a storage compartment, the temperature indicator is
located inside the compartment.
CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST ZONE
After the appliance has been switched on for at least 24 hours, you can carry out regular checks to
ensure the temperature in the coldest zone is correct and, if necessary, adjust the thermostat as
indicated in the user instructions (chapter “temperature adjustment”).
The internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on various factors such as the ambient
temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and how often the door is opened. These
factors should be taken into account when setting the appliance.
To maintain the required temperature inside the
appliance, and to preserve your food better,
check that the indicator shows the message OK.
If the message OK does not appear, this means
that the desired temperature has not been
reached; in this case, adjust the thermostat
setting and wait for 12 hours before checking the
indicator again.
When fresh food has been introduced or the door
has been left open for some time, it is normal for
the message OK on the indicator to fade.
Correct setting Temperature not
optimal, adjust the
thermostat
OK

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.
