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.
