. . . in the freezer
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
freezer. 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.
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for a long time a
temperature of at least
-18 °C
is
needed. At this temperature the growth
of micro organisms is generally halted.
As soon as the temperature rises to
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.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the lid is opened and
the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– if too much fresh food is being frozen
at once,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for a
particular climate range (ambient
room temperature), and should not
be used outside this range.
Temperature selection
The temperature is set with the
temperature selector.
^
Use a coin to turn the temperature
selector clockwise to a setting
between 2 and 7.
Turn it only as far as it will go, then
turn it back again. Turning it beyond
its range would damage it.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
We recommend a setting between 2
and 3.
^
If the freezer is only filled to a
maximum of 30 cm below the top
rim of the basket
then turn the
temperature selector to the
"Spar"
(Economy)
setting.
The energy consumption will be
lower.
