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.

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.

. . . in the refrigerator section

and in the StayFresh zone

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C

in the refrigerator section.

The temperature in the StayFresh zone

is controlled automatically and is

maintained at 0 to 3 °C.

. . . in the freezer section

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.

Temperature selection in the

refrigerator / freezer section

The temperatures for the refrigerator

section and for the freezer section are

set independently from one another

using the two buttons under the

appropriate temperature display.

Press the

left button: to raise the temperature

right button: to reduce the temperature

The temperature being set will flash in

the display.
