Operating and Installation instructions

The correct temperature
25
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
- the more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept open
- the more food that is stored in it
- the warmer the food is that is being
put into it
- the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance is. The appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient tem-
peratures (climate range). Do not use
in ambient temperatures for which it
is not designed
. . . in the fridge section and in
the PerfectFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 39°F
(4°C) in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at 32°F to 37°F (0°C to
3°C).
Automatic cold air circulation (Dyna-
Cool)
The fan automatically turns on when the
cooling system for the refrigerator sec-
tion turns on. It distributes the tempera-
ture in the refrigerator section to all ar-
eas evenly so that all the food inside will
be chilled to about the same degree.
...in the Freezer Zone
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C) is required. At this tempera-
ture the growth of bacteria is generally
halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above 14°F (-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 re-frozen. Food may be re-
frozen once it has been cooked (boiled
or roasted), as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
