The Correct Temperature; In Fridge Section; In The Freezer; Temperature Display - Miele KFN 14943 SD 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.
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 fridge section

We recommend a temperature in the
centre of the appliance of 4 °C.

The correct temperature

. . . 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 refrozen.
Food may be refrozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro-organisms.

Temperature display

During normal operation the
temperature displays on the control
panel show the temperature in the
middle of the fridge section and the
temperature in the warmest part of the
freezer section.
