The coldest zone usually goes from the glass shelf of the crisper drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator to the symbol or rack positioned at the same height. [. . . ] The internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on various factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and how often the door is opened. These factors should be taken into account when setting the appliance. To maintain the required temperature inside the appliance, and to preserve your food better, check that the indicator shows the message OK. If the message OK does not appear, this means that the desired temperature has not been reached; in this case, adjust the thermostat setting and wait for 12 hours before checking the indicator again. When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open for some time, it is normal for the message OK on the indicator to fade. OK Correct setting Temperature not optimal, adjust the thermostat F GB 10200331GB. fm Page 2 Wednesday, July 18, 2007 5:24 PM COMPLIANCE WITH FOOD HYGIENE REGULATIONS • Clean the inside of the refrigerator frequently using a mild detergent that does not oxidize metal parts, then rinse with a solution of water and lemon juice or vinegar or any disinfectant product that is suitable for the refrigerator. • Rinse the interior and dry with a soft cloth.
