For most Irish hospitality HACCP systems, a practical target is 0°C to +5°C inside the cabinet, with +5°C or below commonly used as the compliance limit for chilled storage.
Set the controller so the operating range stays at or below +5°C during normal service (including busy door openings).
If you store high risk chilled foods (cooked meats, dairy, ready to eat items), aim for tighter control closer to +2°C to +4°C where practical.
Use your own site HACCP plan as the final reference, and treat the controller display as an indicator rather than your only record.
