set to -1 ° C (Subzero) when vegetables are stored and is set to +1˚C (Chiller) if not.
● Meat, processed meat
Beef, pork, poultry, ham,
sausages etc.
● Vegetables with high CO
Fresh salad
The following foods should be stored at +1 ° C (Chiller) setting.
Manually set the compartment temperature at +1˚C.
※ The Auto setting switches temperature to -1 ° C, which could
cause the foods to freeze because of a low level of carbon dioxide.
