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.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C)
is required. Partially
defrosted or fully defrosted food must
not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen
once it has been cooked.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise for the following reasons:
– if you open the door frequently or
keep it open too long,
– if you put too much food in it,
– if you put food in it that is too warm,
– if the room temperature is too high.
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (room
temperature range) and should not
be used outside this range.
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the
average, current
temperature in the freezer
.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this
temperature to then be shown as a
constant temperature in the display.
