Miele KF 2981Vi MasterCool Integrated French Door Fridge Freezer

At over 2m tall and with an impressive 552 litres of combined fridge freezer storage space, you will have plenty of room with this fully integrated appliance. It has convenient French doors which are hung on strong and robust hinges making them capable of withstanding high loads and still open smoothly. The doors can be opened widely which makes loading and unloading the fridge easier and more convenient. It also benefits from the DynaCool function which ensures an even temperature throughout the entire fridge section. It no longer matters on which level your food is stored because conditions are the same throughout. The familiar levels of ‘warmer at the top, cooler at the bottom’ in conventional fridges are finally a thing of the past with DynaCool. Its French doors represent a very special feature. Not only do French doors appear extremely elegant, they also offer a clear practical benefit: When open, the slender door sections take up less space. This is most useful when the space between the appliance and, say, a cooking island opposite is limited.

Push2open, already successfully established on other Miele appliances, now even opens the solid doors on this large fridge freezer. All that is required is a brief push on the door to activate the integrated mechanism making it ideal for handleless kitchens. The 'wow' effect on opening the door is further enhanced by the new BrilliantLight feature which immerses the interior in bright light thanks to narrow LED light strips on the side walls.

A glance inside reveals premium features which characterise this very special appliance, and further enhances its credentials. A large amount of glass, aluminium profiles, heavy-duty hinges and racks as well as a high quality, modern and, above all, an intuitive user interface meets the eye. Another eye catcher is the internal mains water connected IceMaker which provides welcome relief in hot weather thanks to its ability to make up to 150 ice cubes a day. But, other invisible features puts this appliance squarely in the flagship class. These include NoFrost (dispensing with the need for manual defrosting), separate cooling circuits for precise temperature control, and dynamic cooling, ensuring more uniform temperature distribution throughout the entire fridge section. This model is also linked to the Miele@mobile app. so calling up status indicators and the activation of selected functions from your mobile device is now possible when on the move.

Thanks to the MasterFresh system, large quantities of fruit and vegetables, as well as meat, fish and dairy products, stay fresh for up to three times longer. The large drawers provide the ideal micro-climate by guaranteeing adapted temperature and humidity levels.

Pungent odours often occur in fridges in particular when storing a wide range of different foods. To prevent these from becoming a cocktail of unpleasant smells or to stop odours spreading and impairing other food items, this appliance features an Active AirClean filter. Thanks to a combination of active ingredients consisting of active charcoal and chitosan, virtually all odours are filtered out.
