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.
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C
in middle of the refrigerator section.
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for a long time a
temperature of at least
needed. At this temperature the growth
of micro organisms is generally halted.
As soon as the temperature rises to
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.
The temperatures for the refrigerator
and for the freezer section are set
independently from one another using
the buttons to the right and left hand
sides of the temperature displays.
Press the
Upper button: to raise the temperature
(it gets warmer)
Lower button: to reduce the
temperature (it gets colder)
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
