Storing Food In The Refrigerator Section; Different Storage Zones - Miele KFN 12927 SD edt/cs 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
section. 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
at the front and in the door. Use this for
storing butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator is
directly above the PerfectFresh zone
dividing plate and at the back of the
appliance. The temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone compartments is
even colder.
Use these areas in the refrigerator and
the PerfectFresh zone 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,
26
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
– 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.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigerator or the
refrigerator door, make sure that it
does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the refrigerator, as it may freeze to
the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the refrigerator, as this is essential
for keeping the appliance cool.
