The correct temperature

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.

The temperature in the appliance will rise:

–the more often the door is opened and the longer it is kept open,

–if too much food is stored in it at once,

–the warmer the food is which is being put into it,

–the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance.

The appliance is designed for use in specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

. . . For the refrigerator section

We recommend a temperature of 5°C in the middle of the refrigerator.

. . . For the freezer compartment

(depending on model)

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the

micro-organisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.

Setting the temperature

The temperature for the refrigerator section is set using the temperature dial.

The higher or lower the temperature in the refrigerator section, the higher or lower it is in the freezer section.

^Using a coin, turn the temperature dial in a clockwise direction away from the "0" position.

The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance.

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

Forcing it beyond its range will damage it. Turn it only as far as it will go, then turn it back again.
