The Correct Temperature; In The Refrigerator Section And In The Stayfresh Zone; Setting The Temperature In The Refrigerator Section - Miele K 854 i-2 Operating And Installation Instructions

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,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– 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 refrigerator section
and in the StayFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the StayFresh zone
is controlled automatically and is
maintained at approx. 0 °C.
Setting the temperature in the
refrigerator section
Use the two buttons to the right hand
side of the temperature display to set
12
the temperature for the refrigerator
section.
Press the
upper button: to raise the temperature
lower button: to reduce the
temperature
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
After setting the temperature you can
see the following information in the
display by pressing the buttons:
– When first pressed, the last
temperature selected flashes.
– Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
– Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button the current temperature of
the refrigerator section is automatically
shown.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
full before checking the temperature
display as it will take this long for the
display to show the accurate
temperature. If, after this time, the
temperature is still too high or too low,
you will need to adjust it again.
