And temperatures ranging from the growth of bacteria that grow in between 40 - 140 ° F (5 - 60 ° m) This is called the long and hazardous area where bacteria multiply some numbers every twenty minutes. Therefore, you must adjust the refrigerator temperature at a temperature of 40 ° F (5 ° m) to inhibit the growth of bacteria and to protect perishable foods.
