The Correct Temperature; Setting The Temperature - Miele FN 22062 ws Operating And Installation Instructions

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro-organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is gener-
ally halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above -10 °C, the micro-organ-
isms become active in the food again
so that it cannot be kept as long. For
this reason, partially defrosted or fully
defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro-organisms.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The appli-
ance is designed for use within spe-
cific ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use in ambient tem-
peratures for which it is not designed.

The correct temperature

Setting the temperature

 Press the button for setting the tem-
perature  repeatedly until the tem-
perature you want lights up in the
temperature display.
The first time you press the button the
last temperature set will flash in the dis-
play.
The temperature value will change up
until the setting for -32 °C is reached. It
will then drop back to the -15 °C set-
ting.
The temperature can be set slightly
colder within the displayed ranges
(e.g. between -15 °C and -18 °C).
 Press the button for setting the tem-
perature repeatedly until the indicator
for -15 °C lights up.
 Press the temperature button again
for approx. 5 seconds to set the tem-
perature.
The colder temperature setting has now
been set within this temperature range.
It is, however, not visible in the display.
