The Correct Temperature; Setting The Temperature - Miele F 2671 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
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 bacteria is generally hal-
ted. As soon as the temperature rises
above -10 °C, the bacteria become act-
ive in the food again so it cannot be
kept as long. For this reason, partially
defrosted or defrosted food must not be
re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it
has been cooked, as the high temperat-
ures achieved when cooking destroy
most bacteria.
The temperature in the refrigeration ap-
pliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept
open.
- The more food is stored in it.
- The warmer the food is which is be-
ing put into it.
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance. This refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.

The correct temperature

Setting the temperature

 Touch the  sensor control to set the
temperature.
The previously set temperature will ap-
pear.
 Use the  and  sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your fin-
gers on the sensor controls changes
the temperature continuously.
 Confirm the temperature setting
with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds
after the last touch of the sensor con-
trol. The temperature will then be
automatically adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the refri-
geration appliance is not very full and
for approx. 24 hours if the refrigera-
tion appliance is full before checking
the temperature display. It will take this
long for the appliance to give an accur-
ate reading.
 If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to adjust it again.
