Storing Food In The Refrigerator Section; Different Storage Zones - Miele K 34472 iD Operating And Installation Instructions

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different tem-
perature zones in the refrigerator sec-
tion. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
area of the refrigerator section. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
This appliance has automatic Dynamic
cooling, which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running,
making the difference between the
various zones is less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-
tion is directly above the PerfectFresh
zone dividing plate and at the back of
the appliance. The temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone compartments is
even colder.
Use these areas in the refrigerator and
in the PerfectFresh zone for all delicate
and highly perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy products,

Storing food in the refrigerator section

– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products con-
taining propellants (e.g. spray cans).
Danger of explosion.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the appliance or the ap-
pliance door, make sure that it does
not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause
stress cracks or break the plastic.
Food must not touch the back of the
refrigerator as it may freeze to the
back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the refrigerator.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the refrigerator, as this is essential
for keeping the appliance cool.
