Miele KFN 8996 SDE ED-1 Refrigerator User Manual


 
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature),
and is particularly recommended for
rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh
food or drink.
Switching on SuperCool
^ Press the SuperCool button (left-hand
button). The SuperCool indicator light
will come on.
The appliance works at full power to
lower the temperature in the
refrigerator section.
SUPER will show in the temperature
display on the door.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function will
automatically switch off after approx. 6
hours. The indicator light will go out,
and the appliance will continue running
at normal power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^
Press the SuperCool button. The
SuperCool indicator light will go out,
and the appliance will continue to
operate at normal power.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This helps maintain the
nutritional value, vitamin content,
appearance and taste of the food.
When food takes too long to freeze, it
loses more water from its cells, which
then shrink.
Later, when the food is defrosted, only
some of this water is reabsorbed by the
cells; the rest pools around the food.
In other words, the food can lose a
considerable degree of moisture.
By contrast, when food is frozen
quickly, the cells have less time to lose
moisture, so they shrink less. Because
there is not so much moisture loss, it is
easier for the food to reabsorb the
water during the defrosting process,
and there is far less pooling around the
defrosted food.
