35Note: At the setting given under the table “Recommended settings”the fridge has an average temperature of approx. +5°C; the averagetemperature in the freezer compartment is then approx. –18°C or cold-er. These figures apply at ambient temperatures from +16°C to +32°C.At higher ambient temperatures, fresh food is properly frozen with theregulator set to "2" to "3", without the fridge becoming too cold.3. If you want a higher or lower temperature, turn the temperature regu-lator to a warmer or cooler setting respectively.Important!High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-ting on the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause thecompressor to run continuously.Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor mustrun continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of thefridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of froston the fridge rear wall.If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set-ting (position “4” to “5”). At this setting the compressor will beswitched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.Ambient temperature Temperature controller positionApprox. 16°C Range about 2Approx. 25°C Range about 2Approx. 32°C 2 to 3Approx. 38°C 1 to 2Switching off the appliance1.
