HOW TO OPTIMISE FREEZER TEMPERATURES To achieve maximum freezer performance, the refrigerator is equipped with a freezer temperature optimizer, located in the top part of the refrigerator. If the optimizer control is placed in the right part: - This is sufficient for normal functioning situations. - Maximum cold is directed to the freezer during the freezing process. - Sufficient temperatures are reached in the freezer when the ambient temperature of the room in which the appliance is installed is relatively low (below 16ºC). ""FREEZING" - Place the optimizer control in the left part. The freezer temperature will then go to its coldest level. This makes freezing food easier and it is recommendable to do this 24 hours beforehand if a large amount of food is to be placed in the freezer. 24 hours after the food has been placed in the freezer, place the optimizer control in the right part of the refrigerator again. 10 ENGLISH If the optimizer control is placed in the left part: 6. CORRECT USE OF THE APPLIANCE REFRIGERATOR Leave enough space between food items to let air to flow around them. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary. Do not put hot food in the refrigerator. Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles. To prevent foodstuffs stored from drying out, we recommend that you place them in an airtight container or wrapped them in aluminium foil or ...
