In The Freezer Section; Setting The Temperature - Miele KF 2802 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

... in the freezer section
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
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
re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it
has been cooked , as the high
temperatures achieved when cooking
destroy most bacteria.

Setting the temperature

 Touch the  sensor control to set the
temperature.
The previously set temperatures for the
fridge and freezer zones are displayed.
 Use the  and  sensor controls to
select the temperature zone for which
you want to adjust the temperature
and touch OK to confirm your
selection.
 Use the  and  sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your
fingers 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
control. 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.
The correct temperature
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
refrigeration appliance is not very full
and for approx. 24 hours if the
refrigeration appliance is full before
checking the temperature display. It will
take this long for the appliance to give
an accurate reading.
 If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to 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.
