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 bacteria. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept open
– the more food that is stored in it
– the warmer the food is that is being
put into it
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration
appliance is. 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
and in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone
We recommend a temperature of
39°F
(4°C)
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at
32 to 37°F (0 to 3°C)
.
Automatic cold air circulation
(DynaCool)
The fan automatically turns on when the
cooling system for the refrigerator
section turns on. It distributes the
temperature in the refrigerator section
to all areas evenly so that all the food
inside will be chilled to about the same
degree.
... in the Freezer Zone
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C)
is required. At this
temperature the growth of bacteria is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises above 14°F (-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 re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has been
cooked (boiled or roasted), as the high
temperatures achieved when cooking
destroy most bacteria.
