Miele K 2224 S User Manual

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap
-
pliance. Micro organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem
-
perature 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 put
into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures (cli-
mate ranges). Do not use in ambient
temperatures for which it is not de
-
signed.
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of
5 °C in the middle of the appliance.
. . . in the freezer compartment
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for a long time a tempera
-
ture of at least -18 °C is needed. At this
temperature the growth of micro organ
-
isms is generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises to above -10 °C, the
micro organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. 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 organisms.
Temperature selection
The temperatures for both the refrigera-
tor section and the freezer compart-
ment are set using the same temperture
selector.
^ Turn the temperature selector to a
setting between 1 and 7.
The higher the setting the lower the
temperature in the appliance. A middle
range setting is usually sufficient.
However, if frozen food is to be stored
in the freezer compartment then a set
-
ting between 4 and 7 is recommended
to ensure that the required temperature
in the freezer compartment is main
-
tained.
It is advisable to select a higher setting
(between 4 and 7) if the door is opened
frequently, large quantities of food are
stored in the refrigerator or there is a
high ambient temperature.
