• It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and,
whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
• For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge
compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular
products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder
temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever
present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This
storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference
temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars
-18°C)
Type of food

jams, juices, drinks, condiments.
• Do not store perishable foods
