Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.
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, and 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 or anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
– contact the Miele Service Department.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration 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 every 11 g of coolant at least 1m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the household supply. Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re­quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa­tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains con-
nection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not oper­ate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to mois­ture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range
(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, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperat­ure.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and explosion.
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 li-
quids 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, caus­ing injury or damage.
Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with
wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or to the metal. Danger of frost burn.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-
ted 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.
Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage instruc-
tions 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.
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu­facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liab­ility.
10
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this ap-
pliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

Transporting the appliance

Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very heavy and
must be transported by two people.
11
Warning and Safety instructions

Disposal of your old appliance

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.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
– puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
– bending any pipework, or
– scratching the surface coating.

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. In normal operation there is no risk.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-
rates the airways.
12

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufactur­ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances of­ten contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, com­pounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to hu­man health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com­munity waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic ap­pliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also respons­ible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during trans­portation to an authorised collection de­pot. In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be con­tained, and will not leak into the envir­onment.
Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See "Warning and Safety instructions" for more information.

Using for the first time

19

Switching on and off

Switching on

To enable the temperature to get suffi­ciently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for approx. 2hours before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer until it has reached the required coldness (at least -18°C).
Press the button.
The appliance will start to cool and the temperature required will appear in the temperature display. The temperature display and the alarm symbol will flash at the same time until the required temperature is reached.

Switching off

Press the button until the display
goes out. If this is does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting further settings - To deactivate the safety lock).
Switching off for longer peri­ods of time
If, during a long absence, the ap-
pliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a danger of mould building up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:
switch the appliance off,disconnect it from the mains,clean the appliance andleave the door(s) ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odours building up in­side the appliance.
The cooling system will be switched off.
20

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 fully 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,
– the more food that is stored in it,

Setting the temperature

Press the button for setting the tem-
perature repeatedly until the tem­perature you want lights up in the temperature display.
The first time you press the button the last temperature set will flash in the dis­play.
The temperature value will change up until the setting for -32°C is reached. It will then drop back to the -15°C set­ting.
The temperature can be set slightly colder within the displayed ranges (e.g. between -15°C and -18°C).
Press the button for setting the tem-
perature repeatedly until the indicator for -15°C lights up.
Press the temperature button again
for approx.5seconds to set the tem­perature.
The colder temperature setting has now been set within this temperature range. It is, however, not visible in the display.
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The appli­ance is designed for use within spe­cific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient tem­peratures for which it is not designed.
21
The correct temperature

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required tem­perature.
The temperature can be adjusted from
-15°C to -32°C.
The temperature display will flash if:
– the temperature is not within the
range that can be displayed, e.g. be­cause the appliance has just been switched on.
– a different temperature has just been
set.
– the temperature in the appliance has
risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.
This short-term loss of coldness is no cause for concern if:
– the door has been left open for a
while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food,
– fresh food is being frozen.
The temperature display will light up constantly once the temperature has dropped and reached approx. -10 °C.
If the temperature in the freezer
remains above -18°C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started to defrost.
If it has, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.
22

Using Super freeze

The Super freeze function can also be switched on.
Super freeze function
For optimum results switch on the Su­per freeze function before putting fresh food into the freezer section. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nu­trients, vitamins, flavours and appear­ance.

Super freeze is not necessary:

– when placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen.
– when freezing up to 2kg fresh food
daily.
When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the Super freeze function should be switched on 6hours before- hand. When freezing the maximum load of food, the Super freeze function should be switched on 24hours beforehand.
When Super freeze is switched off, the appliance will run at normal power again.

Switching on Super freeze

Press the Super freeze button. The Super freeze symbol lights up.
The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.

Switching off Super freeze

Press the Super freeze button. The Super freeze symbol will go out.
The appliance will continue running at normal power.
When Super freeze is switched on, the appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.
The Super freeze function will switch it­self off automatically after approx.65 hours. The quantity of fresh food placed in the freezer will determine the duration before the Super freeze function switches off.
Tip: To save energy, the Super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of -18 °C is reached inside the freezer section. Check the temperature inside the freezer section.
23

Temperature and door alarm

The 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 the door is left open.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature in the freezer be­comes too warm, the temperature dis­play and the alarm symbol will flash. An audible alarm will also sound.
The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appli­ance recognises as being too warm.
Audible and visual signals will be activ­ated, for example,
– when the appliance is switched on if
the temperature in the appliance dif­fers greatly from the set temperature,
– if a lot of room air enters the freezer
when food is being loaded, re­arranged or taken out,
– when freezing large amounts of food
at once,
– when freezing fresh food which is still
warm,
If the temperature in the freezer
remains above -18°C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started to defrost.
If it has, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.

Door alarm

An alarm will sound if the appliance door has been left open for longer than 60seconds.
It will stop as soon as the door is closed.

Switching the alarm off early

If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off if you wish.
Press the Alarm off button.
The alarm will stop. If the alarm is due to the temperature rising, the alarm symbol will stay on until the set temperature has been reached.
– in the event of a power cut,
– if the appliance has a fault.
The alarm will stop and the alarm sym­bol will go out when the temperature reaches the correct level again. The temperature display will light up again constantly.

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 ca-
pacity ....kg/24hrs".
The maximum freezing capacity given on the data plate has been calculated according to 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.

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 fin-
ished 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 pos-
sible.
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.
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.
27
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 suit-
able for freezing:
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, ve­getables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, cakes, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre­cooked 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, aroma and vit-
amin 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.
– Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly be-
fore freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices al­ters when frozen.
– Placing hot foods or drinks in the
freezer causes food that is already frozen to partially thaw and increases energy consumption. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before pla­cing them in the freezer.

Packaging

Freeze food in portions.
Suitable packing material
– plastic freezer film
– freezer bags
– aluminium foil
– freezer containers
Unsuitable packing material
– wrapping paper
– grease-proof paper
– cellophane
– bin bags
– plastic carrier bags Expel as much air as possible from
the packaging.
Close the packaging tightly with
– rubber bands
– plastic clips
– string or bag ties
– freezer tape.
Tip: Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.
28
Freezing and storing food
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the appliance

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 which is already stored in the freezer to stay frozen.

Placing food in the freezer section

The following maximum loading
weights must not be exceeded: – Top freezer drawer = 15kg – Bottom freezer drawer = 10 kg
- All other freezer drawers = 25kg
- Glass plates = 55kg
Unfrozen food should not touch frozen food as this will cause frozen food to begin to thaw.
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

- Freezing the maximum amount (see data plate)

Ensure ventilation slots at the back of the freezer section are always free from obstruction.
If the ventilation slots are blocked the cooling performance will decrease and energy consumption will in­crease.
Place food on the glass plate in such a way that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
Please note that when removing the drawers, the lowest freezer drawer must always remain in the freezer.
Remove the deeper freezer drawers
at the bottom.
Place the food flat on the lower glass
cold plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen: Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.

- Freezing small amounts of food

Place the food to be frozen in the deeper lower freezer drawers.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawers so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as pos­sible.

Frozen food can be defrosted in differ­ent ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using "Fan heat" or the
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator section (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Flat pieces of partially thawed fish can be placed directly into a hot frying pan.
Meat and 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.
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.

Cooling drinks quickly

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury and damage.

Using accessories

Ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray three quarters
full of water and place it on the bot­tom of one of the freezer drawers.
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to re­move the ice tray from the freezer if it is stuck.
Tip: 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 time.
30
Freezing and storing food

Freezer tray

The top freezer drawer in your appli­ance can be used as a freezer tray.
The freezer tray can be used to effect­ively freeze small items such as berries, herbs, vegetables etc.
The food keeps it shape and generally does not freeze together in a lump.
Space the food out loosely on the
tray.
Leave to freeze for 10 to 12 hours. Then fill in freezer bags or containers and place in the freezer drawers.

Isolating plate

(available as an optional accessory de­pending on appliance)
Any drawers not being used can be "switched off", or isolated, to save en­ergy. The isolating plate should be used when there is not very much food in the freezer.
– The isolating plate must be placed
below the last drawer in which frozen food is stored.
– The fewer drawers that have to be
chilled, the less energy required. Us­ing the isolating plate can save con­siderable amounts of energy.

Example

You only need 3 freezer drawers includ­ing the freezer tray for storing your frozen food.
Place the food in the top 3 drawers.
Leave the other drawers empty.
Remove the fourth drawer and place
it somewhere safe.
Do not place food in the drawers
that have been isolated because there will be uncontrolled fluctuations in temperature in these drawers that will spoil the food.
– At least 3 freezer drawers including
the freezer tray must be used for freezing food. The other drawers can be "switched off" (isolated) if you wish, however you must not isolate fewer than the bottom 2 drawers.
– The freezer drawers used for freezing
food must always be at the top.
Insert the insolating plate underneath
the third drawer. The drawers below it are now "switched off" (isolated).

Adjusting the interior fittings

Removing the drawers and glass plates from the freezer section

The drawers can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes.
You can also use the space in the freezer section more flexibly. If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass cold plates between the drawers can be removed.
Pull out the drawers as far as they will
go, and then lift them up and out.
Lift the glass plate slightly, pull it for-
wards and out.
32
The appliance is equipped with a "Frost free" system. The freezer defrosts auto­matically.
The moisture generated in the appli­ance collects on the condenser and is automatically defrosted and dissipated by the condenser from time to time.
This automatic defrosting system en­ables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free, however, the food stored in the freezer will not defrost.

Cleaning and care

Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or the lighting.
Steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach the electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaning appli­ance to clean the appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.
The data plate located inside the ap­pliance must not be removed. It con­tains information which is required in the event of a service call.

Cleaning agents

Cleaning and conditioning agents used inside the appliance must be food safe.
To avoid damaging all the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– stainless steel cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaner
– oven sprays
– glass cleaning agents
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers
34
– melamine eraser blocks
– sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge, lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid to clean surfaces of the appli­ance.
The following pages contain important information on cleaning.
Cleaning and care

Preparing the appliance for cleaning

Switch the appliance off.
The temperature shown in the display will go out and the cooling system switches off.
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or switch off at the mains fuse board.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Take the drawers and glass cold
plates out for cleaning.
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning.
Cleaning the interior and ac­cessories
Clean the appliance regularly (approx. twice a year). Remove any soiling im­mediately - do not allow it to dry on.
The best time to do so is when:
– there is very little or no frozen food
left in the freezer,
– the humidity level in the room is low
and the ambient temperature in the room is also low.
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent odours building up.
35
Cleaning and care
The following parts cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher:
– all drawers and the compartment lid
(depending on model)
– the isolation plate (available as an op-
tional accessory depending on model)
These accessories should all be hand
washed.
The following parts are suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher:
The maximum temperature of the
dishwashing programme selected must not exceed 55°C.
Contact with natural dyes e.g. from carrots, tomatoes and ketchup may discolour the plastic parts in the dishwasher. This discolouration does not affect the stability of the parts.
– the adjustable shelves (with the trim
and strips removed)
– the ice cube tray
Cleaning the front of the appli­ance and the side panels
If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage.
Therefore it is best to remove soiling from the appliance door and side panels immediately.
All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discol­our the surfaces.
See "Cleaning agents" at the begin­ning of this section.
The surfaces should be cleaned using
a solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. They can also be cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth (without using any cleaning agent).
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
36
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ventilation gaps

A build-up of dust will increase the en­ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the dusting brush for Miele vacuum cleaners)

Cleaning the door seal

Do not use any grease or oil on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous over time.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the compressor and metal grille at the back of the appliance

When cleaning the compressor
and the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way.
The compressor and metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

Starting up the appliance after cleaning

Slide all shelves back into the appli-
ance.
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
Switch on the Super freeze function
for a while so that the freezer section can cool down quickly.
Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required temperat­ure, place the food back in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer. Then close the appliance door.
Switch off the Super freeze function
as soon as the temperature in the freezer is a constant -18°C or colder.
37
What to do if...
Some minor problems can be corrected without contacting Miele. If, having followed the suggestions below, you still cannot resolve the problem, please contact Miele.
To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable
danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele au-
thorised technician.
Problem Cause and remedy
The appliance is not cooling.
The compressor runs continuously.
The compressor is switching on more fre­quently and for longer periods of time. The temperature in the ap­pliance is too low.
The appliance has not been switched on. Switch the appliance on.
The mains plug is not inserted in the socket correctly or the plug connector is not inserted into the socket at the back of the appliance correctly.
Insert the mains plug into the mains socket and
the plug connector into the appliance socket cor­rectly and switch on.
The mains fuse has tripped. There could be a fault with the appliance, the household electrical wiring or another electrical appliance.
Contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool­ing is required.
The ventilation gaps in the housing unit have been covered or the ventilation gaps in the housing unit, the compressor and the metal grille (heat exchanger) at the back of the appliance are dusty.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.Dust the ventilation gaps, the compressor and the
heat exchanger regularly.
38
Problem Cause and remedy
The appliance door has been opened too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been placed in the appliance for freezing.
Only open the door when necessary and for as
short a time as possible.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a while.
The appliance door is not properly closed. A thick layer of ice may have formed in the freezer.
Close the appliance door.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a while.
If a thick layer of ice has formed, it will reduce effi­ciency and increase the energy consumption.
Defrost the appliance and clean it.
The ambient room temperature is too high. The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor will run for.
See "Installation - Location".
The temperature setting is too low. Adjust the temperature.
A large amount of food is being frozen at once. See "Freezing and storing food".
The Super freeze function is still switched on. You can switch off the Super freeze function earlier
to save energy.

39
What to do if...
Problem Cause and remedy
Frost has accumulated on the front panel of the NoFrost module.
An LED indicator light is flashing at the back of the appliance at the bottom near the com­pressor (depending on model).
This is not a fault. Condensation has settled on the panel and frozen. This could be due to:
– the appliance door being opened too often, or be-
ing left open.
– a large amount of food is being frozen at once.
– an increase in humidity levels in the room.
Keep the door closed as much as possible. The
NoFrost system will automatically defrost the layer of ice over the next few days.
This is not a fault. The electronic unit for the com­pressor is equipped with an operation and fault dia­gnosis LED indicator light which flashes every 15 seconds (depending on model).

What to do if...

Other problems

Problem Cause and remedy
The door to the freezer will not open because it has been opened and closed too many times in succession.
Food has frozen to­gether.
The external walls of the appliance feel warm.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening and closing the door is preventing the door from opening. Wait approx. 1minute and then try again. It should now open without force.
The food packaging was not dry when placed in the freezer.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or
plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.
This is not a fault. The warmth created by the evapor­ator is used to prevent condensation.

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a power cable and moulded plug ready for con­nection to an AC 230 V 50 Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A (13 A in the UK).
This appliance must be connected to a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible. The electrical connection must comply with current local and na­tional safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
The accessibility of the plug must al­ways be ensured in order to be able to quickly separate the appliance from the mains.
If the mains socket is not accessible after the appliance has been built in, a separator for each terminal must be present. There must be an all-pole con­tact gap of at least 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays ac­cording to EN60335).
The plug and mains connection cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This, in turn, could result in a short cir­cuit.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to an in­verter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch-off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The appliance must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of en­ergy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.
If the mains cable needs to be replaced this must be done by a suitably quali­fied person.
Do not plug in other appliances behind this appliance.
45

Installation

Fire risk and danger of damage!
Appliances which give off heat, such as toasters, mini-ovens or double burner hobs, can catch fire.
Do not place them on top of this re­frigeration appliance.
This appliance must not be installed directly next to another refrigeration appliance. It does not have side-wall heating, so installation next to another refrigerator or freezer could cause a build-up of condensation between them. Further information is available from your dealer.

Location

This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your re­frigerator please bear in mind that it will use more energy if installed near to a heater, a cooker or other appliance that gives off heat. Direct sunlight should also be avoided. The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor runs and the higher the energy consumption is.
In environments with high hu-
midity condensation can build up on
the external appliance panels. This can lead to corrosion of the
panels. For prevention, it is advisable to in-
stall the appliance with sufficient ventilation in a dry and/or air condi­tioned room.
After installation make sure that the appliance door closes properly, the specified ventilation gaps have been adhered to and that the appliance has been installed in accordance with these installation instructions.
When installing the appliance, please be aware:
– The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be­hind the appliance.
– The plug and cable must not touch
the back of the appliance as they could get damaged by vibrations from the appliance.
– Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind this appliance.
46
Installation

Climate range

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient tem­perature) and should not be used out­side this range. Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the compressor to switch off for too long, causing the temperature inside the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.
The climate range is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
A freezer from the SN climate range can operate without any difficulties in rooms with a cooler ambient temper­ature (down to +5°C).

Fitting wall spacers supplied

The wall spacers supplied must be used in order to achieve declared en­ergy consumption values and to pre­vent the build-up of condensation at high ambient temperatures. Appliance depth is increased by approx. 35mm with the wall spacers fitted. If the wall spacers are not used the functionality of the appliance is not affected. En­ergy consumption is only slightly in­creased with less distance between the appliance and the wall.
Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the appliance on the top left and right.

Ventilation

Air at the back of the appliance gets warm.
To ensure efficient ventilation the
ventilation gaps must not be covered or blocked in any way. They should be dusted on a regular basis.

Installation

Building the appliance into a kitchen run

If the ventilation gaps given are
not observed, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the compressor.
It is essential to observe the ventila­tion gaps given.
The appliance can be built into a kit­chen run and installed directly next to a kitchen furniture housing unit. The ap­pliance front must protrude in front of furniture fronts by at least 34mm at the sides and by at least 55mm in the middle. This enables the doors to be opened and shut without being ob­structed. To match the height of the rest of the kitchen, the appliance can be fit­ted with a suitable top box.
When installed next to a wall a dis­tance of at least 55mm must be main­tained on the hinge side between the wall and the appliance. This equates to the distance that the handle protrudes by when the door is open.
The larger the ventilation gap, the more economically the compressor will work.
– A ventilation gap of at least 50mm
depth must be provided at the back of the appliance behind the whole width of the top box for air to circu­late.
Top boxRefrigeration applianceHousing unitWall
* The appliance depth is increased by approx. 35 mm for appliances with wall spacers fitted.
– The cross-section of the ventilation
gap under the ceiling must be at least 300cm2 to ensure that air can circu-
late without obstruction.
