Dry Compartment; Humidity-Controlled Compartment - Miele K 34272 iD Operating And Installation Instructions

Dry compartment 
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
foods which perish easily, such as
– fish and seafood;
– meat, poultry and sausages;
– salads and lettuce;
– dairy products, e.g. yogurt, cheese,
cream, quark etc;
– you can also use the dry compart-
ment to store all kinds of food,
providing it is wrapped.
The main advantage of the dry com-
partment is the low temperature (rather
than the humidity). The humidity in the
dry compartment is approximately the
same as in a standard refrigerator.
Please note that food rich in protein de-
teriorates faster than other types of
food.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
Always keep these foods covered or
wrapped.

Humidity-controlled compart-
ment , 
The humidity-controlled compartment
has a slide control which is used to reg-
ulate the humidity in this compartment.
Slide the regulator to the  or  relative
humidity setting.
Humidity level not increased 
At the  setting the humidity-controlled
compartment becomes a dry compart-
ment – the slide control opens the vents
in the compartment so that moisture
can escape (see "Dry compartment ").
Increased humidity 
At the  setting the humidity-controlled
compartment is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
The slide control closes the vents in the
compartment so the moisture cannot
escape.
The humidity level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
If the quantity of food being stored in
this compartment is small, the humidity
level may be too low.
Tip: If you are only storing a small
amount of food, wrap it in airtight pack-
aging.
High humidity in the humidity-con-
trolled compartment can cause con-
densate to build up on the floor of
the compartment as well as beneath
the lid.
Wipe off any condensate with a
cloth.
