The correct temperature
21
...in the freezer compartment
(depending on model)
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.
Setting the temperature
The temperature is set with the On/Off
and temperature selector.
Turn it to a setting between 1 and 7.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
A middle range setting is usually suffi-
cient.
However, if frozen food is to be stored
in the freezer compartment, then a
setting of between 4 and 7 is recom-
mended to ensure that the required
temperature in the freezer compartment
is maintained.
It is also advisable to set the temperat-
ure within this range, if
- the door is being opened frequently
and/or being kept open for longer
periods,
- large quantities of food are stored in-
side the appliance,
- there is a high ambient temperature.
Set the temperature as required using
the temperature selector dial.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment is controlled by the temper-
ature in the refrigerator section.
