It is very important to set the correct
temperature to ensure the shelf life of
food. Reducing the temperature
reduces the growth rate of
microorganisms. Food does not spoil as
quickly.
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
surrounding the refrigeration
appliance. This refrigeration
appliance is designed for use within
specific ambient temperatures
(climate range). Do not use it in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
The correct temperature
... in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in the refrigerator section.
... in the freezer section
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. This will prolong the
storage life of your food and retain its
quality.
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.
