Miele Kfn 14827 Sdeed Operating And Installation Instructions

							The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The following information shows in the
display when the sensors are touched:
–Touching a sensor once: thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
–Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–Leaving a finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.
When the highest or lowest
temperature in the range is reached,
theorsensor disappears.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off a sensor, theaverage,
currenttemperature of the freezer is
automatically shown.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very fullandfor
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
fullbefore checking the temperature
display, as it will take this long for the
display to give an accurate reading. If,
after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature in the freezer section
can be adjusted from -14 °C to -28 °C
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, theappliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
Temperature display
During normal operation the
temperature displays on the control
panel show the temperature in the
middle of the PerfectFresh zone and
the temperature in the warmest part of
the freezer section.

							Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the appliance cannot
rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if a door is left open.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.
Temperature alarm
An alarm will sound if the temperature
becomes too warm.
The alarm off sensor will flash red and
the Freezer symbol will flash.
The alarm will sound, the alarm off
sensor will light up red and the relevant
symbol will flash, for example,
– if a lot of room air enters the freezer
section when food is being loaded,
rearranged or taken out.
–
when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
–
in the event of a power cut.
The alarm will stop and the indicators
will go out as soon as the temperature
has dropped down to the correct level
again.
Switching the temperature
alarm off early
If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off early if you wish.
^Touch the alarm off sensor.
The alarm will stop.
The alarm off sensor will light up
constantly and the relevant symbol
will continue to flash until the correct
temperature has been reached.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above
-18 °C for a long time, check that the
frozen food has not started to
defrost. If it has, check that the food
is safe to use and if it is, then use it
as soon as possible.

							Super freeze
Switch the Super freeze function on
before putting fresh food into the
freezer section.
This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours
and appearance.
Super freeze is not necessary:
–when placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen.
–when freezing less than 2 kg fresh
food daily.
Switching on Super freeze
When freezing small quantities of food
in the freezer, the Super freeze function
should be switched on6 hours

							Food is stored at a lower temperature in
the PerfectFresh zone than in the
refrigerator section. The humidity in the
PerfectFresh zone compartment can
also be regulated to suit the food being
stored.
Providing ideal storage conditions
ensures that food stays fresh
considerably longer while retaining
both flavour and vitamins.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to cold
is0-3°C.This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the PerfectFresh zone.
Food can be stored there at this
temperature without loss of freshness
for considerably longer than in a stan-
dard refrigerator, as the deterioration
process is decelerated at this
temperature.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Humidity level
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
compartment will depend on
–
the moisture content of the food
being stored and
–
the quantity of food being stored.
Use the regulator to adjust the humidity
level in the PerfectFresh compartment.
The closer the storage humidity is to the
humidity content of the food, the crisper
and fresher the food remains over alonger period, as the water content of
the food is largely retained.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Please be aware if storing cooking
oil in the appliance that traces of oil
can cause stress cracks to occur in
plastic components.
Food must not touch the back wall
as it may freeze to the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator.

							Food which is not suitable for
storing in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in a
refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C,
as some food is sensitive to cold.
Cucumbers, for example, become
glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes
sweet. Tomatoes and oranges loose
their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits
hardens.
Food which is sensitive to cold includes:
–Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangos, melons,
papayas, passion fruit,
citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,
mandarins, grapefruit),
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers/capiscum,
tomatoes,
courgettes/zucchini,
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan
When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor in
determining how long it stays fresh, and
how long it can be kept in the
refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,
e.g. during transportation, should be
kept to a minimum. For example, do not
allow food to stay in a hot car for too
long. Once food has started to
deteriorate, this process cannot be
reversed. As little as two hours outside
the refrigerator can cause food to start
deteriorating.
Storing food in the
PerfectFresh zone
compartments
The coldest areas in the refrigerator are
in the PerfectFresh compartments.
Use the compartments in the
PerfectFresh 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
approx. 4 °C.
The humidity-controlled compartment
has a regulator which is used to adjust
the relative humidity.
Slide the regulator to the relative
humidity level required.
.= high humidity. The regulator
closes the vents to the compartment
and retains the moisture already
present. The humidity level greatly
depends on the type and quantity of
food being stored.

							Please take into account that high
humidity is only achieved and effective
if the food is storedunwrapped or
loosely wrapped.
–The high humidity setting.is ideal
for storing freshly harvested produce
such as vegetables, salad, herbs,
cabbage and home-grown seasonal
fruit.
,= low humidity.
The regulator opens the vents to the
compartment allowing the moisture to
escape.
If the regulator is set at low humidity,
the humidity will be approx. the same
as the humidity in the refrigerator
section. At this setting, the low
temperature is the main advantage of
the compartment rather than the
humidity.
– With low humidity,selected, the
PerfectFresh compartment is ideal
for storing particularly sensitive
foods, such as fresh fish, shellfish,
meat, poultry, sausages, dairy
products and salad.
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.Always keep these foodscovered or
wrapped.
Exception: Meat. The surface of the
meat dries out slightly, helping to
prevent the growth of bacteria, which
results in the meat lasting longer. To
prevent the risk of bacterial
cross-contamination and meat
deteriorating, do not let one type of
meat come into direct contact with
another type.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh
zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.

							Can all types of food be stored
together?
Do not place all types of food together
in one compartment. Some types of
food do not store well together. Aromas
and flavours can transfer from one type
of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb
the smell and flavour of onions very
easily). Some food also gives off a
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up
the rate at which other food perishes.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which produce a large amount of this
natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocados, figs,
blueberries, melons and beans.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pears, nectarines and peaches.
Example: Broccoli should not be stored
with apples, as apples produce a large
amount of natural gas to which broccoli
is very sensitive. The result is a shorter
than expected storage time for the
broccoli.Unpacked meat 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.
