The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature to ensure the shelf life of
food. Reducing the temperature reduces
the growth rate of microorganisms.
Food does not spoil as quickly.
The temperature in the refrigeration
appliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance 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 refrigeration
appliance. This refrigeration 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 Active zone
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
Active zone is controlled automatically
and maintained at 0 to 3 °C.
... in the freezer zone
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. This will prolong the
shelf life of your food and retain its
quality.
As soon as the temperature rises above
-10 °C, the bacteria become active 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 temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
