The correct temperature
25
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 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.
– The more food is stored in it.
– The warmer the food is which is
being put into it.
– The higher the ambient temperature.
The refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific
ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use it 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 micro-organisms 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 refrozen.
Food may be refrozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
