Miele K 2202 S-1, 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,

– 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.

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C
in middle of the refrigerator.

If you wish to check the temperature in
the refrigerator,

^

place a thermometer in a glass of
water and then place the glass in the
middle of the refrigerator.

After about 24 hours, the thermometer
will show the approximate temperature
in the refrigerator.

Please note the following:

– bathwater and other household

thermometers are not very accurate.
It is best to use an electronic
thermometer.

– Do not measure the temperature of

the air in the appliance. The result
will not reflect the temperature in the
food.

– Try to open the door as little as

possible during the measuring
period, as warm room air will enter
the refrigerator every time the door is
opened.

Temperature selection

The temperature is set with the
temperature selector.

^

Turn it 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.

It is advisable to select a setting from

4

to 7

, if the door is opened frequently,

large quantities of food are stored in the
refrigerator or there is a high ambient
temperature.
