Hints for temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5° C. When the temperature regulator
is set to +5°C this represents the mean temperature in the fridge. It is normal with higher
temperature in the top of the fridge. It is also normal with 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. It too cold, change
to a higher temperature setting.
Do not place food against or close to the temper-
ature sensor. This can result in too cold tempera-
tures.
If you want to check the temperature of food
stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of water
centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper ther-
mometer with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After
6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The
measuring shall be performed under steady-sta-
ted conditions (without changing the load).
