The correct temperature
19
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.
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 temperat-
ures achieved when cooking destroy
most bacteria.
The temperature in the refrigeration ap-
pliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept
open.
- The more food is stored in it.
- The warmer the food is which is be-
ing put into it.
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance. This refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
Setting the temperature
Press the button for setting the tem-
perature repeatedly until the temper-
ature you want lights up in the tem-
perature display.
The first time you press the button the
last temperature set will flash in the dis-
play.
The temperature value will change up
until the setting for -32°C is reached. It
will then drop back to the -15°C set-
ting.
The temperature can be set slightly
colder within the displayed ranges (e.g.
between -15°C and -18°C).
Press the button for setting the tem-
perature repeatedly until the indicator
for -15°C lights up.
Press the button for selecting the
temperature again for approx.
5seconds until -18°C appears in the
temperature display.
The colder temperature setting within
this small temperature range has now
been applied.
