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 of

-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,

–

if too much fresh food is being frozen

at once,

–

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.

Setting the temperature

^

Press the temperature selector button

repeatedly until the temperature you

want lights up in the display.

The first time you press the button the

indicator light for the last temperature

you set will flash in the display.

The temperature value will change up

until the setting for -28 °C is reached. It

will then drop back to the -14 °C

setting.

Approx. 5 seconds after the last press

on the button, the current actual

temperature of the freezer 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.
