Storing Food In The Fridge Zone; Different Storage Zones - Miele K 7115 E Operating Instructions Manual


Risk of explosion due to flam-
mable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). The spray cans in ques-
tion can be identified by the contents
printed on the can or by a flame
symbol. Electrical components can
cause escaping gases to ignite.

Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration 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.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks
onto the plastic parts of the refrigera-
tion appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will de-
crease and energy consumption will
increase.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the appliance.

Storing food in the fridge zone

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are
different temperature regions in the re-
frigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-
tion of the refrigeration section. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
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 in the fridge zone is
directly above the fruit and vegetable
drawer and at the back of the appli-
ance.
A temperature setting of 4 °C com-
bined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food pois-
oning.
Therefore, you should use this area to
store all delicate and highly perishable
food, including:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
