The Correct Temperature; Setting The Temperature; Temperature Display - Miele FN 4857 S Operating And Installation Instructions

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.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature
colder than -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.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– if too much fresh food is being frozen
at once,
– 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.

The correct temperature

Setting the temperature

The temperature is set with the
temperature selector.
^ Using a coin, turn the dial in a
clockwise direction away from the "0"
position.
Forcing it beyond its range will
damage it. Turn it only as far as it will
go, then turn it back again.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
required temperature.
If you want the temperature in the
refrigerator to be -18 °C,
^ turn the temperature selector
clockwise from 0 until the -18°C LED
lights up on the control panel.
The temperature can be set slightly
colder within the displayed temperature
range (e.g. between -15°C and -18 °C).
^ Turn the temperature selector slowly
in a clockwise direction e.g. from the
-15°C LED position until the -18°C
LED flashes briefly in the temperature
display.
The temperature is now set in between
-15°C and -18°C.
