normally factory set to a temperature of 5°C.
Adjusting the temperature
For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed

Note:
Ambient air temperature, the frequency of
door opening, the introduction of hot food and
unsuitable appliance positioning can all affect
the internal temperature of the refrigerator,
which may differ from that shown on the
display.
