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 within
specific ambient temperatures
(climate range). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.

. . . in the refrigerator section
and in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in the refrigerator section.
In the PerfectFresh Pro zone the
temperature is controlled automatically
and is in the range 0 to 3 °C.
Automatic temperature distribution
(DynaCool)
The fan switches on automatically when
the cooling system for the refrigerator
switches on. It distributes the
temperature in the appliance to all areas
more evenly so that all the food will be
chilled to about the same degree.

. . . 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 fully 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.
