In The Freezer Zone; Setting The Temperature - Miele KF 2981 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

... in the freezer zone

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for long periods, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises above -10 °C, the
bacteria become active in the food
again so it cannot be kept as long. For
this reason, partially defrosted or
defrosted food must not be refrozen.
Food may be refrozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.

Setting the temperature

 Touch the  sensor for setting the
temperature.
The previously set temperatures of the
fridge and freezer zones are displayed.
 Use the  and  sensors to select
the temperature zone for which you
want to adjust the temperature and
touch OK to confirm your selection.
 Use the  and  sensors to set the
temperature. Keeping your finger on
the sensor changes the temperature
continuously.
 Confirm the temperature setting
with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds
after the last touch of a sensor. The
temperature will then be adopted
automatically.
Useful tip: The newly set temperature
can also be confirmed and adopted by
closing the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
The correct temperature
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
full before checking the temperature
display. It will take this long for the
required temperature to be reached.
 If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
Adjusting the temperature in the dry
compartment of the MasterFresh
zone
The temperature in the dry
compartment of the MasterFresh zone
is maintained at approx. 2 °C.
However, if you would like it to be
colder, e.g. when storing fish, you can
adjust the temperature in the dry
compartment to make it slightly lower:
 Open the upper appliance door.
 Fully remove the dry compartment
(see "Adjusting the interior fittings -
Removing compartments in the fridge
zone") or pull it out as far it will go.
There is a temperature regulator on the
rear wall of the fridge zone. You can use
this to adjust the temperature in the dry
compartment slightly.
The temperature regulator is set to the
"cold" position at the factory.
