Miele K 9214 If Operating And Installation Instructions

Unpacked meats and vegetables
Unpackaged meat and vegetables
should be stored separately. To avoid
any microbiological
cross-contamination, these foods may
only be stored together if they are
wrapped.
Protein rich foods
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
Meat
Meat should be stored unwrapped.
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat
loosely covered, and leave containers
open)....

Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
^Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards
slightly until the notch at the side is in
line with the shelf support. It can then
be raised or lowered to the required
level.
The raised edge at the back must face
upwards to prevent food from touching
the back of the appliance and freezing
to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from
being dislodged by mistake.

Using the freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment to:
–store frozen food,
–make ice cubes,
–freeze small quantities of fresh food.

Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells, which
then shrink.
During the defrosting process, only
some of this...

Before placing food in the freezer
compartment
^Turn the temperature selector to a
middle to low temperature for approx.
4 hours before placing fresh food in
the freezer compartment. This helps
food that is already in the freezer to
stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer section
^Place the food flat on the bottom of
the freezer compartment so that it
freezes through to the core as quickly
as possible.
^Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen....

Ice cubes
^Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
water and place it on the bottom of
the freezer compartment.
^Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to
remove the ice tray from the freezer.
^Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.
Cooling drinks

the refrigerator section, and switch on
the Super cool function.

Refrigerator section
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. You do not need to
remove this, as it will defrost and
evaporate automatically with the
warmth generated by the refrigerator.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that...

To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.

off at the wall and withdraw the plug
from the socket, or disconnect the
mains fuse or remove the screw-out
fuse in countries where this is
applicable.
