Install the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:

• Extended temperate (SN): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10°C to 32°C'
• Temperate (N): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16°C to 32°C'
• Subtropical (ST): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16°C to 38°C'
• Tropical (T): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16°C to 43°C'

FOOD STORAGE

Position different food in different compartments according to the table below.

Refrigerator compartment	Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge compartment	·Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condiments. ·Do not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)	·Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed separately in the risper bin ·Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes, garlic in the refrigerator
Fridge shelf – middle	·Dairy products, eggs
Fridge shelf – top	·Foods that do not need to be cocked, such as ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers.
Freezer drawer(s)/tray	·Foods for long-term storage ·Bottom drawer for raw meet, poultry, fish ·Middle drawer for frozen vegetables, chips. ·Top tray for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods.

• For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge

compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.

It's suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment. - For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C).
