In The Freezer Compartment; Setting The Temperature - Miele K 12010 S-2 Operating And Installation Instructions

. . . in the freezer compartment

(depending on model)
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is gener-
ally halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above -10 °C, the micro-organ-
isms become active in the food again
so that it cannot be kept as long. For
this reason, partially defrosted or fully
defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro-organisms.
The correct temperature

Setting the temperature

The temperature is set with the On/Off
and temperature selector.
 Turn it to a setting between 1 and 7.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
A middle range setting is usually suffi-
cient.
However, if frozen food is to be stored
in the freezer compartment, then a
setting of between 4 and 7 is recom-
mended to ensure that the required
temperature in the freezer compartment
is maintained.
It is also advisable to set the temperat-
ure within this range, if
– the door is being opened frequently
and/or being kept open for longer
periods,
– large quantities of food are stored in-
side the appliance,
– there is a high ambient temperature.
 Set the temperature as required using
the temperature selector dial.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment is controlled by the temper-
ature in the refrigerator section.
