Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Please ensure that the appliance
presents no danger to children while
being stored for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless and the
cable cut off directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse. See the
"Warning and Safety" section of this
booklet for further details.
Electrical and electronic appliances
often 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 dispose of your old appliance at
your local community waste collection /
recycling centre and not with your
household waste.
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.

Using the refrigerator efficiently
Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator
section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the
lowest section of the appliance. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
normally directly above the vegetable
containers. In this appliance, however,
the coldest area is in the StayFresh
zone.
Use the coldest areas in the refrigerator
section and in the StayFresh zone 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,
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door.
Traces of oil can cause stress
cracks to occur in the plastic
components in the door.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance, as it may freeze to the
back wall.
StayFresh zone
A temperature of between 0 - 3 °C
combined with a high humidity level
provides the optimum storage
conditions for fresh food, enabling it to
be kept fresher for longer than in a
refrigerator.
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh.
Bear this in mind when shopping.
The temperature in the StayFresh zone
is automatically held at approx. 0 °C.
–
pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
15
Using the refrigerator efficiently
The StayFresh zone is divided into two
areas:
The dry compartment has a relative
–
humidity level of approx. 45 %.
The humidity controlled
–
compartment has a control for
setting the humidity level between
45 % and 90 %. Slide the control to
the humidity level you require.
The humidity level will also be affected
by the moisture content of the food
being stored and how often the
compartment is opened.
Low humidity level ,
^ To set a humidity level of approx.
45 %, slide the control for the
humidity controlled compartment
over to the left ,.
This humidity level is suitable for storing
particularly delicate food such as fresh
fish, shell fish, meat, poultry, sausage,
dairy products and salads.
Keep food covered or packaged in
this compartment with the exception
of meat.
High humidity level -
To set a humidity level of approx.
^
90 %, slide the control for the
humidity controlled compartment
over to the right -.
This humidity level is suitable for storing
fresh produce such as vegetables,
salad, herbs, and seasonal fruit.
Store these types of food uncovered
in the compartment.
Food which should not be
stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in the
refrigerator. These include:
– Fruit and vegetables which are
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,
avocado pears, papaya, passion
fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes
and cucumbers
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
–
Potatoes
–
Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

Using the refrigerator efficiently
Storing food correctly
Store food covered or packaged. This
will prevent food smells or tastes from
affecting other foods, and prevent food
from drying out and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. 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 vegetable containers.
However, you should bear in mind that
some types of vegetables give off a
natural gas which speeds up the rate at
which food perishes. Some fruit and
vegetables react strongly to this gas
and should not be stored together.
Examples of fruit which produce a
large amount of this natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocado pears and
figs.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pears, nectarines and peaches.
Different types of unpacked meats
and vegetables must be kept
separate.
To avoid any microbiological
cross-contamination, these foods may
only be stored together if they are
wrapped.
Protein rich foods
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shell fish for example deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
Meat
Store meat in suitable containers, but
uncovered in the low humidity
compartment. (Undo wrappings and
leave containers open). The surface of
the meat will dry out slightly and protect
it from bacterial growth thus increasing
its storage qualities. To prevent the risk
of bacterial contamination keep meat
stored in suitable containers and do not
let different types of meat come into
direct contact with each other.
Take food out of the StayFresh zone
approx. 30 - 60 minutes before using
it. The aroma and taste do not fully
develop until the food has reached
room temperature.
17
Adjusting the interior fittings
Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
Pull the shelf forward as far as it will
^
go; then lift it upwards to remove it.
With the rear barrier facing upwards,
^
place the shelf at the required
position.
The rear barrier must face upwards to
prevent food from touching the back
of the appliance and freezing to it.
Split shelf
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance, one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be
pushed under the rear section.
^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf
forwards slightly and then push it
carefully under the rear half.
Adjusting the door shelves
Push the door shelf upwards, then
^
remove it by pulling it forwards.
Replace the door shelf at the
^
required position. Ensure that it is
securely pushed back into position.
Moving the bottle divider
The bottle divider can be moved to the
left or right to ensure that bottles are
held securely in position when the door
is opened and shut.
StayFresh zone compartments
^ When loading and unloading items,
pull the compartment right out by
taking hold of it at the back and lifting
it up to remove it.
18
^
To put it back in, pull the runners a
right out and place the compartment
on top of the runners. The front of
the runners must be right up
against the front of the
compartment b. Push the
compartment back in c.
Refrigerator section and
StayFresh zone
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the StayFresh zone whilst in use.
These are automatically removed and
defrosted by the appliance.
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.
Automatic defrost
19
Cleaning and care
Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids or
chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that water cannot get into
the electronic unit or into the light.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Cleaning the interior and
accessories
Clean the refrigerator section and the
^
StayFresh zone at least once a
month. Use warm water with a little
washing up liquid.
Accessories and shelves should all
^
be hand-washed. The butter dish is,
however, dishwasher safe.
Clean the condensate channel and
^
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^ 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.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off by pressing
the On/Off button, switching off at the
wall socket and removing the plug.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
20
E-Cloth
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals.
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.
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 refrigerator section and the
StayFresh zone and put your food
back into the appliance.
^ Close the door.
^ Reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply and switch it on.
^ Switch on the Super cool function so
that the appliance can cool down
quickly.
