Miele Kfn12924sd-1 Manual

This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:
–when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
–when fresh food is being frozen.
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.

Dynamic cooling
When the Dynamic cooling function is
not switched on, the natural circulation
of air in the appliance will cause
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).
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, it is a good idea to switch on
Dynamic cooling. This way you...

Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the 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
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
This appliance has dynamic cooling,
which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running.
For this reason, the difference
between the various zones is less
pronounced.Warmest area

the appliance, as it may freeze to
the back wall.

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. Note: Take a cool bag with you
when shopping and on return place
food into the appliance immediately.
Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored
covered...

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.
Split shelf
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance, one of...

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 for freezing within a 24-hour
period is given on the data plate:
Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs.
The maximum freezing capacity given
on the data plate has been calculated
according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan
