The right temperature

It is important to set the right temperature for storing food in the appliance. If food is not stored at the right temperature, bacteria can multiply rapidly, causing the food to spoil. This can be prevented by selecting the right temperature. Temperature affects the rate at which bacteria can multiply, and reducing the temperature can slow down this process.

The temperature in the appliance will rise for the following reasons:

if you open the door frequently, or keep it open too long,

if you put too much food in it,

if you put food in it that is too warm,

if the room temperature is too high. The appliance is designed for use within a certain temperature range (room temperature), and should not be used outside this range.

. . . in the refigerator

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C (39 F) in the refrigerator section.

Automatic cold air circulation (DynaCool)

Whenever the refrigerator section switches on for cooling, the fan is automatically switched on as well. This ensures that cold air is evenly distributed throughout the refigerator, so that all the food stored inside will be chilled to approximately the same temperature.

. . . in the freezer

For freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for longer periods of time, the temperature needs to be at least -18 °C (0 F). At this temperature, most bacteria stop growing. However, if the temperature rises above -10 °C (14 F), the bacteria can become active, which will make the food start to deteriorate. This is why any partially or completely thawed food must never be refrozen until it has been cooked. High cooking temperatures will kill most bacteria.

Setting the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer sections

The temperatures for the refrigerator section and the freezer section are set independently, using the buttons to the right and left of the temperature displays.

Press the

+button: to increase the temperature (it gets warmer)

- button: to decrease the temperature (it gets colder)

The temperature being set will flash in the display.
