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
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.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
–
the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
–
if too much food is stored in it at
once,
–
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 in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
Temperature selection
Use the two buttons underneath the
temperature display to set the
temperature for the freezer.
Press the
left button: to raise the temperature
right 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 is
automatically shown.
