How does the holiday function work on refrigerators?
With the holiday function, you can keep the fridge running with low energy consumption for a longer period of time.
The temperature in the fridge is fixed at 12°C and the fan starts at regular intervals to prevent bad odours.
In a combined fridge and freezer, it is not possible to turn off the freezer section when activating the holiday function, but will work as usual and will maintain a temperature of -20°C.
Remember not to store any food in the refrigerator when the appliance is in holiday mode. Also, leave the refrigerator door open so that air can circulate better.
Read more about the holiday function under "Advice and care instructions" on the appliance's product page.
