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 materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

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 out into the environment.

Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. The 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 installation of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Splashes of coolant can injure the eyes. In the event of any damage:

–

avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark,

–

disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,

–

ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and

–

call the Service department.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 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 it is 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.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges

(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range of the 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

efficiency 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

liquids which could freeze in the freezer compartment. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage.

Warning and Safety instructions

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer compartment 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 metal parts. Danger of frost burn.

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 compartment. 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

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.

Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage

instructions 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 with this appliance.

Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions

How to save energy

Normal energy consumption

Use Drawers, shelves and racks

arranged as they were when the appliance was delivered.

Only open the door when necessary and for as short a time as possible.

Store food in an organised way.

Take an insulated cool bag with you when shopping and place food in the appliance as soon as possible.

Replace any food removed as quickly as possible, before it begins to thaw.

Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the appliance.

Increased energy consumption

Frequent opening of the door for long periods will cause a loss of coldness. The appliance works harder to cool down and the compressor runs for longer periods.

Hot food or food at room temperature raises the temperature inside the appliance. The appliance works harder to cool down and the compressor runs for longer periods.

Store food covered or packaged.

Place frozen food in the refrigerator to defrost.

Do not over-fill the appliance to allow air to circulate.

Defrosting Defrost the freezer

Packing material

Remove all the packing material from

the interior of the appliance.

Protective foil

The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation.

Carefully remove the protective foil

from the stainless steel trim.

Cleaning

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

^ Clean the inside of the appliance and

the accessories.

Accessory - Bottle holder

Attach the bottle holder centrally

along the rear edge of the bottle shelf, as shown.

The flexible ribs grip the bottles securely when the door is opened and closed.

Switching on and off

Switching on

Press the On/Off button.

The temperature display lights up, the appliance starts cooling and the interior light will come on when the door is opened.

To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it.

Switching off

^ Press the On/Off button until the

display goes out.

Switching off for longer periods of time

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,

defrost the freezer compartment

(depending on model),

clean the appliance out and

leave the door ajar to air the

appliance.

If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.

The cooling system is switched off. If this does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting settings To deactivate the lock").

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.

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,

– 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 in specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

...intherefrigerator

We recommend a temperature of 4°C in the refrigerator.

...inthefreezer compartment

(depending on model)

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 correct temperature

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the

required temperature.

Setting the temperature

If the appliance door is opened very often, or if large quantities of food are being stored in the appliance, or if there is a high ambient temperature, it is advisable to set the temperature between 3°C and 5°C.

The higher or lower the temperature in the refrigerator, the higher or lower it is in the freezer compartment.

The temperature can be adjusted from 9°C to 1°C.

Press the temperature selector button

repeatedly until the temperature you want lights up in the display.

The first time you press the button the last temperature you set will flash in the display.

The temperature value will change until the setting for 9°C is reached. It will then drop back to the 1°C setting.

The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while. The temperature in the appliance will adjust slowly until it is at this value. The average temperature in the freezer section (depending on model) will then be approx. -18°C.

Storing food in the refrigerator

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section at the front and in the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.

Coldest area

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Danger of explosion.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or in the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance, as it may freeze to the back wall.

The coldest area is directly above the fruit and vegetables containers or above the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on model) and at the back of the appliance.

Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.

– fish, meat, poultry,

–

sausage products, ready meals,

–

dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream,

–

fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough,

–

soft cheese and other dairy products,

–

pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4°C .

To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator.

Storing food in the refrigerator

Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for storing in a refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C as some food is sensitive to cold. The appearance, consistency, taste and / or the vitamin content of certain types of food can be adversely affected by being stored in too cold a place.

Food which does not tolerate cold temperatures includes:

Pineapples, avocados, bananas,

–

pomegranates, mangos, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit),

– Fruit which is not yet ripe,

– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumber,

potatoes, peppers/capiscum, tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini,

– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.

When shopping for food

The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the refrigerator. Always observe the use-by date and the recommended storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. during transportation, should be kept to a minimum. For example, do not allow food to stay in a hot car for too long. Tip: Take a cool bag with you when shopping and on return place food into the appliance immediately.

Storing food in the refrigerator

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells from affecting other food, food from drying out, and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is particularly important for protein-based food such as meat or fish. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the fruit and vegetable containers or drawers (depending on model).

Protein rich food

Please note that food rich in protein deteriorates faster than others. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Adjusting the door shelf/bottle shelf

Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,

then remove it by pulling it forwards.

Replace the door/bottle shelf at the

required position. Ensure that it is pushed back into position securely.

Moving the bottle holder

The bottle holder can be moved to the left or right to create more room for drinks cartons, for example.

The bottle holder can be removed completely (e.g. for cleaning).

Moving the shelves

The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food.

Raise the shelf slightly at the front,

and pull it forwards a little until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.

The raised edge of the protective strip at the back of the shelf must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.

Stoppers prevent the shelves from being dislodged by mistake.

Push the bottle shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards.

Pull the bottle holder upwards to remove it from the rear edge of the bottle shelf.

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)

Using the freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment to:

store frozen food,

–

make ice cubes,

–

freeze small quantities of fresh food.

–

Up to 2 kg of food can be frozen in 24 hours.

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. In practice this means that the food loses a large degree of its moisture. You can tell if this has happened by the amount of liquid around the food.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in your freezer compartment, check

that the packaging is not damaged,

–

the use-by date,

–

and 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 compartment 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.

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.

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)

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 and immerse the vegetables in the fast boiling water for2-3minutes, 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 food or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food 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 compartment. 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 compartment.

Packaging

Freeze food in portions.

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

- freezer containers

- aluminium foil

Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin liners

- plastic carrier bags

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.

Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)

Before placing food in the freezer compartment

Select a middle to low temperature

(5°C or colder) for approx. 4 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment.

This helps food that is already in the freezer compartment to stay frozen.

Placing food in the freezer compartment

Make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.

^ Make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

^ Place the food flat on the bottom of

the freezer compartment so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

Approx. 24 hours after placing fresh food in the freezer compartment

The freezing process is complete.

Select the temperature you want for the refrigerator.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:

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.

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.

–

in a microwave oven,

–

in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting,

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray three quarters full with

water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment.

Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,

for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer compartment.

^ 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

To cool drinks quickly, place them in the refrigerator section, and switch on the Super cool function. If placing drinks in the freezer compartment to cool them quickly,

make sure bottles are not left for more than one hour as they could

burst.

Defrosting

Refrigerator section

The refrigerator section defrosts automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor.

The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.

Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically.

In certain circumstances, too thick a layer of ice can prevent the door from closing properly. Too thick a layer of ice also reduces efficiency and increases energy consumption.

The freezer compartment should be

defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx.

0.5 cm thick has accumulated.

The best time to defrost the freezer compartment is when:

there is very little food or no food left

–

in the appliance,

– the humidity level in the room is low

and the ambient temperature in the room is also low.

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.

In normal use, ice and frost will form in the freezer compartment, e.g. on the internal walls. How much ice and frost accumulates in the appliance will depend on the following:

–

whether the appliance door has been opened frequently or left open for a while.

–

whether a large quantity of fresh food has been placed in the freezer compartment at once.

–

whether there has been an increase in the humidity in the room.

Before defrosting

Remove the frozen food from the freezer compartment and wrap it in several layers of newspaper or cloths.

Store it in a cool place until the freezer compartment is ready for use again.

Defrosting

To defrost

Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it goes off.

Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to aid the defrosting process. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Do not 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.

Switch off the appliance.

The display will go and the cooling system will switch off. If this does not happen the lock is active (see "Selecting settings - To deactivate the lock").

To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot water (not boiling) can be placed on a saucer in the freezer compartment. Closing the door in this instance will help retain warmth and speed up the defrosting process.

Remove any pieces of ice which

have become loose.

Make sure that no water can penetrate the housing unit.

Use a sponge or towel to soak up the

defrosted water, as often as necessary.

After defrosting

^ Clean the appliance and then dry it

thoroughly. Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole.

^ Reconnect to the mains and switch

the appliance back on.

Once the temperature in the freezer compartment has reached the required temperature, place the food back into the freezer compartment.

Disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply.

Open the freezer compartment door.

Cleaning and care

Do not let water get into the electronic unit or into the light.

Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole when cleaning.

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.

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

–

melamine eraser blocks,

Adjustable shelves

Before cleaning the shelves remove the stainless steel trim at the front and the protective strip at the back of the shelf. To do this:

Place the shelf on a worktop covered with a soft material (e.g. on a tea towel).

Pull the stainless steel trim off the shelf beginning at one side.

Pull the protective strip off the shelf.

After cleaning the shelf reattach the stainless steel trim and protective strip.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the interior and accessories

The appliance should be cleaned regularly, at least once a month. Clean the freezer compartment (depending on model) each time you defrost it. Remove any obvious soiling immediately and do not let it dry on.

Clean the interior surfaces and

accessories with a solution of lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

The following are dishwasher safe:

– the bottle holder, egg trays, ice cube

tray (supplied as standard, depending on model)

– the shelves and bottle shelf in the

door

The following are not dishwasher safe:

the stainless steel trim and the

–

protective strips on the shelves

the fruit and vegetable containers or

–

drawer (depending on model).

These should all be hand washed.

Clean the condensate channel and

drain hole frequently, so that condensate can drain away unhindered. Use a straw or similar to clear the drain hole if necessary.

^ Leave the appliance door open for a

while.

Ventilation gaps

^ The ventilation gaps should be

cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

–

the adjustable shelves (excluding any stainless steel trim or protective strips)

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.

Cleaning and care

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

Replace all shelves and accessories

in the appliance.

^ Reconnect to the mains and switch

the appliance back on.

^ Switch on the Super cool function for

a while so that the appliance can cool down quickly.

^ Place food back in the appliance and

close the door.
