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,

–the more food that is stored in it,

–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.

. . . temperature in the refrigerator section

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

. . . in the freezer section

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 temperatures for the refrigerator and the freezer sections are set with the temperature selector button.

Press the temperature button repeatedly until the indicator light for the temperature you want lights up in the temperature display for the refrigerator section.

The temperature will be adjusted continuously with each press of the button.

When the refrigerator section is set to 5 °C , the freezer section will have an average temperature of -18 °C.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required temperature.

The temperature can be adjusted from: 1 °C to 9 °C
