The Correct Temperature; In The Freezer; Setting The Temperature In The Freezer - Miele F 1811 Vi Operating And Installation Manual

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.

. . . in the freezer

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, 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
micro-organisms become active in the
food again so that 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
micro-organisms.

Setting the temperature in the
freezer
^ Touch the access sensor so that it is
highlighted in yellow.
^ The temperature inside the appliance
can be selected by touching the
arrow sensors on either side of the
temperature display.
By touching the
X sensor:
the temperature will get
colder
Y sensor:
the temperature will get
warmer.
The temperature range being set will
flash in the display as you do this.
– Touching the sensor once:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
– Keeping your finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.
If the highest or lowest temperature that
it is possible to set is reached, the X or
Y sensor will disappear from the
display.
The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
required temperature.
