20 °C.
With a medium setting of 2 to 3.

consumption
In an enclosed, unventilated room.
In direct sunlight.
Situated near to a heat source
(radiator, oven).
Where there is a high ambient room
temperature.
With a high setting: The lower the
compartment temperature, the
higher the energy consumption.
On appliances with winter setting,
please make sure that the winter
setting is switched off when the
ambient temperature is warmer
than 16 °C.
Frequent opening of the door for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
If food is not stored in an organised
way, searching for an item will
mean the door is open for longer.
Placing hot food in the appliance
will cause the compressor to run for
a long time, as the appliance will
have to work harder to lower the
temperature.
The evaporation or condensation of
liquids will cause a loss of coldness
in the refrigerator.
A layer of ice hinders the cold from
reaching the frozen food, and
causes an increase in energy
consumption.
