Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the appliance,
~
check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance.
If the connection cable is faulty it
~
must only be replaced by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer to protect the user from danger.
This appliance contains the coolant
~
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, but does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:
- avoid naked flames and anything which creates a spark,
- disconnect from the mains,
- air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
- contact the Service Department for advice.
The more coolant there is in an
~
appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every8gofcoolant at least 1 m room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Safe operation of the appliance is
~
only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.
Before connecting the appliance to
~
the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The electrical safety of this
~
appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by the lack of or inadequacy of an effective earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Installation, maintenance and
~
repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
While the appliance is under
~
guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
The appliance must be isolated from
~
the electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
it has been switched off at the wall
socket and the plug has been withdrawn.
the fuse from the fused spur
connection unit has been withdrawn, or
the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the
screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
This appliance must not be used in
~
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never handle frozen food with wet
~
hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food.
Do not take ice cubes out with your
~
bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze thawed or partially
~
thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible, as food soon loses it nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Never store explosive materials in
~
the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard. Flammable compounds could explode.
Do not operate any electrical
~
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles
~
containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
~
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst, resulting in injury or damage.
Observe the "use by" dates given on
~
food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on food manufacturer's packaging on storage conditions required, as well as the “use by” date.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
~
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice
trays.
They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
Never place electric heaters or
~
candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
~
de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
~
door seal, as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
~
the plinth or the top of the appliance housing unit as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
~
within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
Do not use a steam-cleaning
~
appliance to defrost or clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Disposal of your old freezer
Before disposing of an old
~
appliance, first make the door latch or lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Be careful not to damage any part of
~
the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
puncturing the refrigerant channels
int he evaporator, e.g. by
bending any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the micro-organisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.
The temperature in the appliance will rise:
the more often the door is opened and the longer it is kept open,
if too much food is stored in it at once,
the warmer the food is which is being put into it,
Setting the temperature
Use the two buttons underneath the temperature display to set the temperature for the freezer.
Press the
+ button: to raise the temperature
(it gets warmer)
– button: to reduce the temperature
(it gets cooler).
The temperature being set will flash in the display.
When pressing the buttons, the following information shows in the display:
– When first pressed, the last
temperature selected flashes.
– Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps.
Keeping the button pressed in adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of the button, the current actual temperature of the freezer section is automatically shown.
the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance. The appliance is designed for use in specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.
14
The correct temperature
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature
display as it will take this long for the display to give an accurate reading. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from:
-14 °C to -28 °C
The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high, the appliance may not reach the lowest temperature.
Temperature display
During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature in the warmest part of the appliance.
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 started thawing, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, use it as quickly as possible.
Temperature display brightness
The appliance is supplied with the brightness of the temperature display set as low as possible. However, if the door is opened, a setting changed or if the alarm is sounding, the temperature display will appear much brighter.
The level of brightness can be adjusted:
If the temperature is not within the range that the appliance is able to display (below 0 °C), bars will flash in the temperature display.
The temperature display will flash if
a different temperature is being set,
the temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.

16
Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open.
Temperature alarm
An alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.
The alarm will sound and the alarm indicator light will flash,
– if the freezer door has been left open
for a while, e.g. in order to load, re-arrange or take food out.
– when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
– if there has been a lengthy
interruption to the power supply.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.
Switching the alarm off early
Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer, the alarm switches off and the temperature display stops flashing and lights up constantly. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off before this if you wish.
^ Press the Alarm off button.
The alarm will stop. The temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The display then stops flashing and lights up constantly. The alarm system is active again.
Door alarm
If the door has been left open for more than approx. 60 seconds the alarm will sound.
17
Super freeze
Super freeze
Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer.
This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.
Super freeze is not necessary:
when putting in food that is already
frozen.
when freezing less than 2 kg fresh
food daily.
Switching on Super freeze
When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the Super freeze function should be switched on 6 hours before
loading the freezer. When freezing the maximum load of food the Super
freeze function should be switched on
24 hours before loading the freezer.
Switching off Super freeze
The Super freeze function will switch off automatically after a minimum of 30 hours and a maximum of 65 hours. The indicator light will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again.
To save energy, the Super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of -18°C or colder has been reached in the freezer. You should also check the temperature inside the appliance from time to time.
^ Press the Super freeze button. The
Super freeze indicator light will go out, and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.
^
Press the Super freeze button until the light comes on.
The appliance works at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.
18
Freezing and storing food
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 is in accordance with DIN EN ISO 15502 Standard.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired.
Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells, which then shrink. During the defrosting process, only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells; the rest collects around the food.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. As there is not so much moisture loss, it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process, and very little water collects around the defrosted food.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check
that the packaging is not damaged,
the use-by date,
the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the shop. The length of time it can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18 °C.
Buy frozen food once you have
^
finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it.
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as
possible.
Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
19
Freezing and storing food
Home freezing
Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.
Hints on home freezing
The following types of food are
suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.
The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,
vegetables should be blanched after they have been trimmed and washed. To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, immerse the vegetables in the fast boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on variety. Remove, and plunge into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack ready for freezing.
Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer.
To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film.
lightly before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.
Do not place hot food or drinks in the
freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.
Packing
Freeze food in portions.
^
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
- cellophane
- bin bags
- plastic carrier bags
Suitable packing material
- plastic freezer film
- freezer bags
- aluminium foil
- freezer containers
^
Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them, to prevent freezer-burn on food.
^
Close the packaging tightly with
- rubber bands
- plastic clips
- string or bag ties
- freezer tape.
Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.
Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food
20
^
Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.
Freezing and storing food
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 2 kg of
^
fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").
This helps food that is already in the freezer compartment to stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer
The following maximum capacities must be observed: – freezer drawer = 25 kg – glass cold plate = 35 kg
Food to be frozen must on no account touch food which is already frozen to avoid partial thawing.
^ Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.
Freezing the maximum amount
(see data plate)
Remove the lower freezer drawers.
^
Place the food flat on the bottom of
^
the appliance or in contact with the interior side walls so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen:
Place the frozen food in the freezer
^
drawers and push them back into the appliance.
– Large items
If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass cold plates between the drawers can be removed.
^ Remove the freezer drawers and
carefully lift and slide out the glass cold plates.
– Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the lower freezer drawers.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.
21
Freezing and storing food
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time in months which various foods can be stored for effectively.
Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.
2-3 months: Cakes, ice cream, stew
3-5 months: Fish, mushrooms, bread
6-8 months: Pork, veal, poultry
10-12 months: Beef, fruit, vegetables
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:
in a microwave oven,
in an oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
at room temperature,
in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep other food cold),
in a steam oven.
Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Ensure that meat and fish (e.g mince, chicken, fish fillets) do not come into contact with other foods while defrosting. Catch the liquid and dispose of it carefully.
Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packaging, or in a covered bowl.
22
Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables due to changes in the cell structure.
Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Freezing and storing food
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
^
water, and place it in the bottom of one of the drawers.
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
^
for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer.
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray gently or by holding it under cold running water for a short while.
Cooling drinks
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode.
Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. This can help to prolong the storage time.
Place the cool pack in the top drawer
^
of the freezer.
The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
In the event of a power cut:
Place the frozen cool pack directly on
^
top of the frozen food in the front of the top drawer.
When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the cool pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw.
^ The cool pack can also be used in a
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.
When cooling non-carbonated drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst.

In normal use, ice and frost will form in the freezer section, e.g. on the internal walls. How much ice and frost accumulates in the appliance will depend on the following factors:
The appliance door has been
opened frequently or left open for a while.
A large quantity of fresh food has
been placed in the freezer at once.
There has been an increase in the
humidity in the room.
Too thick a layer of ice will make it hard to remove freezer drawers, and in certain circumstances can prevent the door from closing properly. Too thick a layer of ice reduces efficiency and increases energy consumption.
^ The freezer should be defrosted from
time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has accumulated.
Do not scrape off ice and frost and do not not use any sharp edged or pointed instruments to aid the defrosting process. This would damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
Before defrosting
Switch on the Super freeze function
^
approx.1 day before defrosting to ensure frozen food retains its cold reserve for longer when taken out of the freezer.
^ Remove the frozen food from the
freezer and place it in another freezer or cool box, or wrap it in several layers of newspaper or cloths and store in a cool place until the freezer is ready for use again.
^ Remove all the freezer drawers from
the freezer.
The best time to defrost the freezer is when:
there is very little food or no food left in the freezer,
the humidity level in the room is low and the ambient temperature in the room is also low.
24
Defrosting
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts.
Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to aid the defrosting process. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Never place electric heaters or candles etc. inside the appliance to defrost it. They will damage plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
After defrosting
Clean the appliance and then dry it
^
thoroughly.
Close the appliance door.
^
Reconnect to the mains and switch
^
the appliance back on.
Switch on the Super freeze function
^
so that the appliance can cool down quickly. The indicator light will come on.
Once the temperature in the freezer
^
is sufficiently low, slide the glass cold plates back into the freezer, then replace the food in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer.
^ When the temperature in the freezer
is a constant -18 °C or colder press the Super freeze button to switch the Super freeze function off. The indicator light will go out.
^
Switch the appliance off.
^
Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
^
Leave the freezer door open.
To speed up defrosting, two bowls of hot water (not boiling), with plates underneath them, can be placed in the appliance. Closing the door in this instance will help retain the warmth and speed up the defrosting process.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up the defrosted water.
25
Cleaning and care
Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the ventilation gaps.
Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a service call.
To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
solvent-based cleaning agents,
Before cleaning
Switch the appliance off.
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
^
mains.
Take any frozen food out of the
^
appliance and store it in a cool place.
Take out any removable parts, e.g.
^
shelves, for cleaning.
Defrost the freezer.
^
Cleaning the interior and accessories
^ Use lukewarm water with a little
washing-up liquid.
The ice cube tray (depending on mo­del) is dishwasher safe.
The temperature of the dishwasher programme must not exceed 55 °C. Contact with some foodstuffs, such as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can cause plastic items to discolour. However, this discolouration will not affect the stability of plastic items.
stainless steel cleaning agents,
dishwasher cleaner,
oven sprays,
glass cleaning agents,
hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
melamine eraser blocks,
sharp metal scrapers.
26
^
Clean the drawers and glass cold plates by hand. They are not suitable
for cleaning in a dishwasher.
^
After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave the door open to air the appliance for a short while.
Ventilation gaps
The ventilation gaps should be
^
cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous over time.
The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
After cleaning
^ Close the door.
Cleaning and care
^ Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
^ Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer can cool down quickly. The indicator light will come on.
^
Once the temperature in the freezer is sufficiently low, place the food back in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer.
^
Switch the Super freeze function off. The indicator light will then go out.

Problem solving guide
Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
What to do if...
. . . the door will not open because it has been opened and closed too many times in succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening and closing the door is preventing the door from opening. Wait a few minutes and then try again. It should now open without force.
. . . the temperature is too low.
Select a warmer temperature.
^
The Super freeze function is still
^
switched on. The Super freeze function switches itself off automatically after approx. 30 - 65 hours.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^ Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. The temperature display must be lit up.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket and switched on.
^
Check that the mains fuse has not tripped. If it has, there could be a fault with the freezer, the household electricity supply or another appliance. Contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service department.
. . . the compressor is switching in too frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth and in the housing unit at the top have been covered over or become too dusty.
^
The door has been opened too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in at once for freezing.
^
Check that the door has been closed properly.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of ice has built up in the freezer. If it has, then the freezer will need defrosting.

...abarislituporflashing in the temperature display.
Check the temperature display about 6 hours after switching on the appliance. Only temperatures within the range the appliance can display will be shown. If the temperature is not within this range, a bar will be displayed instead.
. . . "F0" to "F9" show in the temperature display.
There is a fault. Call the Service Department.
..."nA" appears in the temperature display.
The temperature has risen too high at some point during the last couple of days because of a power cut.
^ Press the alarm button whilst "nA"is
lit up in the display.
The temperature display will show the warmest temperature recorded in the appliance during the power cut.
If this is not the case, then the freezer temperature has risen above the temperature set because
^
the door has been opened too frequently, or large amounts of fresh food have been put in at once for freezing,
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked,
^
there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
Once the problem has been resolved the temperature display will light up constantly and the alarm will stop.
Depending on the temperature displayed, you should check the condition of food in the freezer. If it has defrosted or started to defrost, check that it is still safe to use and if so use it as soon as possible. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
The warmest temperature will show in the display for about 1 minute. The actual current temperature in the freezer section will then show in the display again.
29
Problem solving guide
At the end of a power cut, the appliance will start operating again at the last temperature setting selected.
. . . the Super freeze indicator light does not light up, even though the appliance is working.
The indicator light is defective. Call the Service Department.
. . . you cannot switch the appliance off.
The safety lock has been activated.
If you still cannot remedy the fault having followed these suggestions, please contact the Miele Service Department.
To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
