The correct temperature
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature
colder than
-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 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.
Setting the temperature in the
freezer section
Use the two buttons underneath the
freezer section temperature display to
set the temperature.
Press the
left hand button: to raise the
temperature
right hand button:
to reduce the
temperature.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
After setting the temperature you can
see the following information in the
display by pressing the buttons:
– When first pressed, the
last
temperature selected
flashes.
– Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
– Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button, the current
actual
temperature of the freezer section is
automatically shown.
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
display as it will take this long for the
display to give an accurate reading. If,
after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.
Freezer section temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
-14 °C to -28 °C.
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
