We suggest setting the temperature to -18°C, which is optimal for energy consumption and frozen food storage. Difference between setting temperature and actual temperature is normal. Especially when: · a new setting has recently been selected · the door has been open for a long time · warm food has been placed in the compartment. Difference until 5°C inside the compartment are quite normal. During operation the temperature indicator shows setting value.

Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
