Dry Compartment With Adjustable Temperature - Miele K 2601 V Operating And Installation Instructions

Dry compartment with adjustable
temperature
The temperature in the dry
compartment is maintained at -1 to
3 °C. While lower than the temperature
in a standard refrigerator section, this is
the optimum temperature range for
storing fresh food which is not sensitive
to cold.
The deterioration process is
decelerated at this temperature range
so food can be stored without loss of
freshness for considerably longer than
in a standard refrigerator and you do
not need to shop as often.
However, if you would like it to be
warmer or colder, e.g. when storing
fish, you can adjust the temperature
slightly (see "Selecting additional
settings – Adjusting the temperature in
the MasterFresh zone (dry
compartment) ").
The humidity level is similar to that in
the conventional refrigerator section.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
Tip: This compartment is ideal for all
homecooked meals as any
microorganisms that may still be
present cannot multiply.
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
perishable food such as:
- Dairy products such as yogurt,
- Deli salads
- Meat and poultry
- Fresh fish and shellfish
- Any type of food can in fact be stored
Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates faster than other types of
food.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
For hygiene reasons, always keep this
type of food covered or wrapped in
this compartment.
Take food out of the dry compartment
approximately 30 to 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
At high room temperatures, delicate
food should preferably be kept in the
refrigerator section for a period of
time.
cheese, cream, etc.
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.
