The correct temperature
24
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Bacteria will cause food
which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these bacteria. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
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
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
...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
halted. 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.
