The Correct Temperature; In The Refrigerator Section; In The Freezer Zone - Miele KFNS 37432 iD Operating And Installation Instructions

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Bacteria will cause food
which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these microorganisms. 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.
– The more food is stored in it.
– The warmer the food is which is
being put into it.
– The higher the ambient temperature
of the refrigeration appliance. The
appliance is designed for use within
specific ambient temperatures
(climate range). Do not use it in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.

The correct temperature

... in the refrigerator section

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

... in the freezer zone

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for long periods, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises above -10 °C, the
bacteria become active in the food
again so it cannot be kept as long. For
this reason, partially defrosted or
defrosted food must not be refrozen.
Food may be refrozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
