The correct temperature
17
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.
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 re-
frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it
has been cooked, as the high
temperatures achieved when cooking
destroy most micro-organisms.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– 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.
Setting the temperature
The temperature can be adjusted from
-15 °C to -32 °C.
Press the button for setting the
temperature repeatedly until the
temperature you want lights up in the
temperature display.
The temperature value will change up
until -32 °C is reached. It will then drop
back to the -15 °C setting.
The temperature can be set slightly
colder within the displayed ranges (e.g.
between -15 °C and -18 °C).
Press the button for setting the
temperature repeatedly until the
indicator for -15 °C lights up.
Press it again for approx. 5 seconds
to set the temperature.
The colder temperature setting has now
been set within this temperature range.
It is, however, not visible in the display.
