The correct temperature
45
It is very important to set the correct
temperature to ensure the shelf life of
food. Reducing the temperature re-
duces the growth rate of microorgan-
isms. Food does not spoil as quickly.
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. This refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
...in the freezer section
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C) is required. This will prolong
the storage life of your food and retain
its quality.
As soon as the temperature rises above
14°F (-10°C), the bacteria become ac-
tive 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.
