3. Set temperature to +5 °C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjust- ment"). Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. Temperature Adjustment With the buttons for temperature adjustment the desired temperatures in the refrigerator can be adjusted.
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display swit- ches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigera- tor.
To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15 °C when the holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food pro- ducts.

2. If the large divider is inserted in the middle of the bin the right hand side can be further divided by inserting the small divider in the middle or rear position. The ventilation grille above the salad bin improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer.
