Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. To freeze fresh food and to store frozen fo[...]

To check the temperature inside the freezer, ^ place a thermometer on the frozen food nearest the top of the freezer. After about 24 hours, the thermometer will show the approximate temperature in the freezer. Please note that: – Household thermometers tend to be inexact. It is therefore best to use a digital thermometer. – Try to open the lid [...]

Your appliance is fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed. The alarm indicator light will come on as soon as the temperature becomes too warm. The setting on the temperature dial determines the range of temperatures the appliance recognises as too warm.
