BOMANN KS 7248 Instruction Manual page 22

Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre-
quency of opening the door and the equipment.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control
to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. After-
wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a medium power level works best for an
optimized food storage. A high power level also in-
creases the energy consumption.
Interior light
When opening the fridge door, the interior light will
turn on automatically.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
"Cleaning and Maintenance"
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
).
• If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under
Storage space
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all
shelves/drawers in their original position.
Fridge
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
• Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
• Plastic bowl with lid
• Special plastic covers with elastic strip
• Aluminum foil
Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 5∼7 de-
grees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
• The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in
the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing
perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages
at around 2∼3 degrees.
• About that it becomes less cold. For dairy prod-
ucts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center
of the cooling is just the right temperature at
around 5 degrees.
• Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less
cooling. The upper cooling part at around
6∼8 degrees could be the right place.
