What does the temperature indicator display in the coldest area of the fridge zone mean?

What does the temperature indicator display in the coldest area of the fridge zone mean?

The temperature indicator for the coldest area is located on the left-hand or right-hand inside wall in the coldest area of the fridge zone.
The coldest area in the fridge zone is between the temperature indicator and the shelf below. If the temperature settings are correct, the lowest average temperature will be here. This low temperature, combined with appropriate hygiene measures, delays the propagation of bacteria, e.g., salmonella and listeria, which can lead to serious food poisoning.

You can use the temperature indicator to check the temperature in the coldest area of the fridge zone for your delicate and highly perishable food.

Temperature indicator display

If the temperature indicator displays OK, the temperature is set correctly.
Your delicate and highly perishable food will be refrigerated properly in the coldest area of the fridge zone. The average temperature is < 40°F (4°C).

If the temperature indicator is black and does not display OK, the temperature is set too high.
Lower the temperature.

Influence on the temperature indicator:

  • After initial commissioning of the refrigeration appliance, it may take up to 12 hours before the desired temperature is reached.

  • The temperature indicator will not display an accurate reading if the appliance door is opened frequently or for long periods.
    Do not keep the appliance door open for long periods. Check the temperature indicator again after a few hours.

  • If the room temperature fluctuates significantly, check the temperature indicator more frequently. If necessary, adjust the temperature again.
