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 °Cis required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises...

switched on,
–when the door has been left open for
a short while, e.g. for removing or
