What temperatures do the thermostat settings correspond to?

Issue

• Which temperature corresponds to which level on the thermostat setting?
• What temperature is hidden behind the various settings on the rotary selector?

Applies to:

• Fridges with scaling on the rotary selector

Resolution

1. The numbers on the refrigerator’s temperature dial don’t correspond to exact temperatures, because the actual cooling level can vary depending on things like the room temperature and how full the fridge is.

The level on the rotary selector does not show the temperature at °C!

• Level 1 means the warmest level
• Level 6 or 7 means the coldest level
• Level 0 means turning the fridge off

2. When starting up for the first time, select a medium level and correct this setting if necessary.
Further information can be found in the operating instructions.

3. To check the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, you can put a thermometer in a glass of water and place it on the middle glass shelf.

• Read the temperature after a few hours. It should be between + 2°C and + 8°C.
• The ideal storage temperature is around 4°C

4. If the food and drinks are too cold for you, set a lower number on the thermostat.

If the food and drinks are too warm, choose a higher number.
