The correct temperature
25
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms 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 the
refrigerator,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The
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 a long time, 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
micro-organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or fully defrosted food must not be
refrozen. Food may be refrozen once it
has been cooked, as the high
temperatures achieved when cooking
destroy most micro-organisms.
