Miele F 456 i-3 - Manual (Page 16)

Temperature display
During normal operation the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
warmest part of the appliance. Ranges
of temperatures rather than individual
temperatures are shown. This means
that the temperatures displayed are
approximate.
If you have adjusted the temperature
dial in order to set a different
temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours
if the freezer is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the freezer is full
before checking the temperature
display. It will take this long for the
display to show the accurate
temperature of the freezer. If the
temperature displayed is too low or too
high, then adjust the temperature once
more.
A temperature above -18 °C is no
cause for concern in the following
circumstances:
– when the appliance has just been
switched on,
– 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 remains
above -18 °C for a long time, check that
the frozen food has not started to
defrost. If this is the case, check that
the food is safe to use and if it is, then
use it as soon as possible.
