Storing Food In The Refrigerator Section; Different Storage Zones - Miele K 1801 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
This appliance has automatic
dynamic cooling, which helps to
keep an even temperature when the
fan is running, making the difference
between the various zones less
pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest areas
The coldest areas in the refrigerator
section are directly above the
MasterFresh zone and in the
MasterFresh zone itself which is slightly
colder still.
Use these areas for all delicate and
highly perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
24
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Please be aware if storing cooking
oil in the appliance that traces of oil
can cause stress cracks to occur in
the plastic components.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance, as it may freeze to
the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator. Make
sure the the vents at the back of the
appliance are not covered, as this is
essential for keeping the appliance
cool.
