Using The Refrigerator Efficiently; Different Storage Zones; Food Which Is Not Suitable For Storage In The Refrigerator - Miele KS 37472 iD Operating And Installation Instructions

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

Due to the natural air circulation there
are different temperature zones in the
refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food in
the appliance.
Useful tip: To allow air to circulate
efficiently, do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
Useful tip: Do not store food in such a
way that it touches the rear wall of the
refrigerator. It may freeze to the back
wall.
This appliance has DynaCool, which
helps to keep an even temperature
when the fan is running. When
DynaCool is operating, the difference
between the various zones is less
pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is located in the top
section of the main storage area and
the door. Use this for storing butter so
that it remains spreadable and for
cheese so that it retains its flavour.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator
section is directly above the
PerfectFresh zone dividing plate and at
34
the back of the appliance. The
temperature in the PerfectFresh zone
compartments is even colder.
Use these areas in the refrigerator
section 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
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C because it
is sensitive to cold. Depending on the
type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavour and/or vitamin
content may be altered if stored at too
cold a temperature.
Foods which are sensitive to cold
include:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges,
mandarines, grapefruits
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
