Miele Kfn 14943 Sd Operating And Installation Instructions

							The appliance is equipped with an
alarm system to ensure that the
temperature in the freezer section does
not rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if the door is left open.
Switching the alarm system

							DynaCool
If the dynamic cooling function
(DynaCool) is not switched on, the
natural circulation of air in the
appliance can create different
temperature zones in the refrigerator as
the cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest
section of the appliance. You should
bear this in mind when placing food in
the appliance (see Using the
refrigerator efficiently).
If you are placing a large amount of the
same type of food in the refrigerator at
one time (e.g. for a party), it is a good
idea to switch on the DynaCool
function. It will help distribute the
temperature evenly throughout the
appliance so that all the food will be
chilled to about the same temperature.
The temperature is set as usual.
Dynamic cooling should also be
selected when:
– the room temperature is high (above
approx. 86 °F (30°C) and
–
the humidity is high.
Switching dynamic cooling ON
^
Select the refrigerator section.
The Refrigerator symbol lights up
yellow.^Tap the dynamic cooling button, and
the indicator light will come on
yellow.
Switching dynamic cooling OFF
Because dynamic cooling requires
more energy, you should switch it off
under normal conditions.
^Select the refrigerator section.
The Refrigerator symbol lights up
yellow.
^
Tap the dynamic cooling button so
that it changes to light yellow.
The fan automatically switches
temporarily off, whenever the door is
opened!

							Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of air in
the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
these different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
This appliance has a dynamic
cooling feature (DynaCool) helping
to keep an even when the fan is
running temperature. As a result, the
differences between temperature
zones are less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this area to store items
such as butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator
section is directly above the fruit and
vegetable drawers.
Use these cold areas in the refrigerator
for all highly perishable foods, such as:
–
fish, meat, poultry,
–
deli meats, store-bought meals,
–
dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
–
fresh bread dough, pastry dough,
cake batters,
–
dairy products.–pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C .
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance, or products with
flammable propellants (e.g. spray
cans,). Danger of explosion!
If storing high-proof alcohol, make
sure it is tightly closed and stored
upright.
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
Do not allow food to touch the rear
wall of the appliance, it may freeze
to the wall.
Leave some space between items
so that air can circulate freely
around them. Do not cover the fan in
the rear wall - this is important for
cooling performance!

							Moving the shelves
The shelves in the refrigerator section
can be adjusted according to the
height of the food.
^Lift the shelf, pull it forwards slightly,
lift the recess over the support ribs
and move the shelf up or down.
The edge of shelfs rear stop must face
upwards so that food does not touch
the rear wall and freeze to it.
Stops prevent the shelves from being
pulled out accidentally.
Split shelf
In order to accomodate tall items such
as tall bottles or containers in the
appliance, one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be gently
pushed under the rear section:
^Push the rear half of the glass shelf
up slightly.
^
With the rear half pushed up, lift the
front half of the glass shelf slightly,
then slide it carefully under the rear
half.To move the split shelf
^remove the two halves of the glass
plate and
^place the two support rails left and
right on the support ribs at the
desired height,
^slide the glass shelves in one after
the other.
The glass shelf with the limit stop
must be placed at the back!
Fruit and vegetable
drawers on rollers
The fruit and vegetable drawers are
mounted on rollers and can be pulled
out for loading and unloading. The
roller plates can be removed for
cleaning.

Universal box
Food can be stored as well as served in
the universal box.
The universal box consists of a deep
containeraand a shallow containerb;
both containers can be placed in the
stainless steel support frame as
hanging containers.
If you wish to use the universal box to
serve food,
^place the shallow containerbin the
stainless steel frame and use the
deep container as a lida.
For serving, the universal box with the
food can be completely removed from

							Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. The maximum freezing
capacity within a 24-hour period is
listed on the data plate, as Freezing
capacity ...kg/24 h.
The maximum freezing capacity
specified on the data plate was
determined according to DIN EN ISO
15502.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible so that the nutritional value
of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are maintained.
The longer it takes to freeze the food,
the more water is lost from its cells,
which then shrink.
Later, when the food is defrosted, only
a portion of this liquid is reabsorbed by
the cells.
This means that the food looses a lot of
its moisture. You can recognize this by
the large pool of water that collects
around the defrosted food.
If food is frozen quickly, there is less
time for the cells to lose moisture, so
they shrink less.
Also, because a smaller amount of
moisture is lost, it is easier for the food
to reabsorb it during the defrosting
process. Very little water collects
around the defrosted food!
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, make sure to check:
–that the packaging is not damaged,
–the expiry date and
–the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored by the shop. If
the food is being stored at a
temperature warmer than 0°F
(-18°C), this reduces the storage life
of the frozen food.
^Buy frozen food at the very end of
your shopping trip, and wrap it in
newspaper or use a cooler box or
bag to transport it.
^Place frozen food in the freezer im-
mediately upon returning home.
Never re-freeze partially or
completely defrosted food.
However, once defrosted food has
been thoroughly cooked you may
freeze it again.
