Charles Darwin was born into a moderately wealthy family in Shrewsbury, England. His father, Robert, had the largest medical practice outside of London at the time and his mother, Susannah Wedgwood, was from a family of wealthy pottery manufacturers.
Advice from different manufacturers varies considerably. In my Neff fridgeâs instruction book it advises only, âat least half an hourâ, which is surprisingly low. A Smeg fridge freezer instruction book says, âlet it settle for 6 hoursâ.This 6 hour recommendation is increased to 24 hours if it is known that the appliance has been laid down.t the end of the day, the last thing you want is a system blockage. If you had to temporarily tip the appliance over to get it through a door or off a vehicle then you need to let it stand for longer than if it was kept upright constantly. If you know itâs been laid down leave it for 24 hours.
[Edited] I think 10 hours would be safe enough for most food: the first couple of hours the fridge will still be quite cold, and after that it takes more than a few ours for most food to spoil. When I leave milk out of the fridge for three hours at room temperature (say, 20 Â°C), nothing happens.
