AEG S 86348 KG1 [15/80] Hints for temperature inside the fridge

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable

drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)

provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in

aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5° C. When the temperature regulator

is set to +5°C this represents the mean temperature in the fridge. It is normal with higher

temperature in the top of the fridge. It is also normal with lower temperature in the lower

part.

If the temperature regulator is set to a cold temperature, the ambient temperature is high

or if the fridge is fully loaded the compressor will run for a longer time. It too cold, change

to a higher temperature setting.

Do not place food against or close to the temper-

ature sensor. This can result in too cold tempera-

tures.

If you want to check the temperature of food

stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of water

centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper ther-

mometer with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After

6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The

measuring shall be performed under steady-sta-

ted conditions (without changing the load).
