Butter and cheese: these should be placed

Hints for temperature inside the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the fridge is
approx. +5° C. It is normal with higher
temperature in the top of the fridge and
lower temperature in the lower part. If the
temperature regulator is set to a cold
temperature, the ambient temperature is
high or if the fridge is fully loaded the
compressor will run for a longer time.
This results in colder temperature in the
lower part of the fridge due to the cold air
that falls down. It may result in that food
with high water content start to freeze. If
too cold, change to a higher temperature
setting.
Important! Do not place any shelves
towards the water drain hole. This can
result in too cold temperatures.
