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. [. . . ] CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST ZONE • After the appliance has been switched on for at least 24 hours, you can carry out regular checks to ensure the temperature in the coldest zone is correct and, if necessary, adjust the thermostat as indicated in the user instructions (chapter "temperature adjustment"). 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 a correct temperature inside the appliance, check that the indicator is always green. If the indicator turns black, the temperature is too high; 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 indicator to turn black.
