The Correct Temperature; In The Refrigerator Section - Miele K 12010 S-2 Operating And Installation Instructions

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro-organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The appli-
ance is designed for use within spe-
cific ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use in ambient tem-
peratures for which it is not designed.

. . . in the refrigerator section

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in the refrigerator section.
If you want to check the temperature in-
side the appliance place a thermometer
in a glass of water and then place the
glass in the middle of the refrigerator.
After about 24 hours, the thermometer
will show the approximate temperature
in the refrigerator.
Bathwater and other household ther-
mometers are not very accurate. It is
best to use an electronic thermometer.
Do not measure the temperature of the
air in the appliance. The result will not
reflect the temperature in the food.
Try to open the door as little as pos-
sible during the measuring period, as
warm room air will enter the refriger-
ator every time the door is opened.
