- What is the optimal temperature in the refrigerator / freezer?
Applies to:
- Refrigerators
- Fridge freezers
- Freezers
Resolution
You should keep your fridge temperature set at 4°C and your freezer set at -18°C. It can make your food last longer and help reduce waste, which is more sustainable.
You can check the temperature of your fridge by placing a thermometer in a glass of water that has been in the fridge for a few hours.
Increase slightly the set temperature in the summer season.
The optimal ambient temperature of the appliances should be 20-25°C.
The highest number on a rotary dial will be the coldest temperature in the fridge, 0 will turn off the fridge and 6 will be the coldest.
Please see below a short video on setting your fridge temperature on LED, rotary dial and Touch display fridges, you can find more specific information in your user manual.
