Storing Food In The Refrigerator Section; Different Storage Zones - Miele K 12010 S-2 Operating And Installation Instructions


Danger of explosion.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products con-
taining propellants (e.g. spray cans).

If storing food which contains a
lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the
appliance door, make sure that it
does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation there are
different temperature zones in the refri-
gerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-
tion of the appliance. Make use of the
different temperature zones when pla-
cing food in the appliance.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the refrigerator.
Food must not touch the back of the
refrigerator section as it may freeze to
the back wall.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area is directly above the
fruit and vegetable drawer(s) and at the
back of the appliance.
Use this for all delicate and highly per-
ishable 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,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
