The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
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. This refri-
geration appliance is designed for
use within specific ambient temperat-
ures (climate range). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.

... in the refrigerator section
and in the PerfectFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 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 temperat-
ure 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 long periods, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature
the growth of bacteria is generally hal-
ted. As soon as the temperature rises
above -10 °C, the bacteria become act-
ive in the food again so 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 temper-
atures achieved when cooking destroy
most bacteria.
