The correct temperature
87
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 microorganisms. 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 microorganisms 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 during cooking destroy most
bacteria.
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
of the refrigeration appliance. The
appliance is designed for use within
specific ambient temperatures
(climate range). Do not use it in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
Setting the temperature

Touch the

sensor for setting the
temperature.
The previously set temperature will
appear.
 Use the  and  sensors to set the
temperature. Keeping your finger on
the sensor changes the temperature
continuously.

Confirm the temperature setting
with
OK or wait approx. 8 seconds
after the last touch of a sensor. The
temperature will then be adopted
automatically.
Useful tip: The newly set temperature
can also be confirmed and adopted by
closing the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the
required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
full
before checking the temperature. It
will take this long for the required
temperature to be reached.
 If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
