Using The Refrigerator Efficiently; Different Storage Zones - Miele K 2601 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Different storage zones

Due to the natural air circulation there
are different temperature zones in the
refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food in
the appliance.
Useful tip: To allow air to circulate
efficiently, do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
Useful tip: Do not store food in such a
way that it touches the rear wall of the
refrigerator. It may freeze to the back
wall.
This appliance has DynaCool, which
helps to keep an even temperature
when the fan is running. When
DynaCool is operating, the difference
between the various zones is less
pronounced.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Warmest area
The warmest area is located in the top
section of the main storage area and
the door. Use this for storing butter so
that it remains spreadable and for
cheese so that it retains its flavour.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator
section is directly above the fruit and
vegetable drawer and at the back of the
appliance. The temperature in the dry
compartment of the MasterFresh zone
is even colder.
Use this area in the refrigerator section
and the dry compartment of the
MasterFresh zone for all delicate and
highly perishable 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 no
higher than 4 °C.
Useful tip: This compartment is ideal
especially for homemade meals, as the
growth of existing microorganisms is
greatly reduced.
