The Miele MasterCool KFMC 3834 L is a large integrated fridge freezer, 756 mm wide, that disappears behind your own furniture doors. It suits a busy household that wants plenty of fresh-food space, with a 316 l fridge, a 160 l freezer and a 51 l MasterFresh Pro zone that Miele says keeps food fresh up to 5 times longer.

Cooling and storage

The fridge section has 2 height-adjustable, full-width, spill-proof glass shelves, a VeggieBox, a crisper drawer, 2 door shelves for jars and a bottle rack. MasterFresh Pro and DailyFresh ExtraCool look after fresh food, while DynaCool spreads cold air evenly and DuplexCool Pro gives fridge and freezer their own climates. The Longlife AirClean system cuts odours by up to 95 %, Miele says. The NoFrost freezer has 3 baskets, 2 on telescopic runners, a freezing capacity of 14.00 kg in 24 hours, and an IceMaker fed from the mains with a water filter.

Controls and everyday use

M Touch Pro controls set 3 temperature zones independently, with SuperCool&AirClean, SuperFreeze, QuickIce, Holiday and Sabbath modes. BrilliantLight Pro and SmartLight light the interior. Push2open opens the doors with a light press, SoftClose and SelfClose shut them, and FullAccess and EasyClean help with loading and wiping down. Through Miele@home you get:
