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.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all statutory safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance.

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. Leaking refrigerant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:

–

avoid any 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.

of room space is required. The

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.

Do not use in a damp environment (e.g. garage or utility room).

Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection and cause a short circuit.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

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 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 appliance.

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 section. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is

tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer section, 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. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frostburn to the lips or 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. Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage instructions given on food.

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

Stainless steel appliances

Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape

or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door. These damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating.

The high-quality surface of the door is susceptible to scratching.

Even fridge magnets can cause scratching.

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 this appliance.

Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– lift food.

They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

With a higher setting: the lower the temperature is set, the higher the energy consumption. On appliances with winter setting, please make sure that the winter setting is switched off when the ambient temperature is warmer than 18°C.

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

compartment when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick (maximum) has built up.

The evaporation or condensation of liquids will cause a loss of coldness in the refrigerator.

A layer of ice hinders the cold from reaching the frozen food.

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

Protective foil

The stainless steel trim on the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation. On stainless steel appliances, the stainless steel door (and sides, depending on model) will also have a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation.

Do not remove this foil until the

appliance has been positioned in its final location.

Cleaning

^ Clean the inside of the appliance and

the accessories with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth.

Switching on

Turn the On/Off and temperature selector dial in a clockwise direction away from the "0" position.

The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance.

The appliance will start cooling and the interior light in the refrigerator section will come on if you open the door.

Switching off

Turn the On/Off and temperature

selector in an anti-clockwise direction back to the "0" position. You will meet a little resistance as you do so.

The interior light will not come on when you open the door and the cooling process will be switched off.

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,

^ unplug it and switch off at the socket

or disconnect it from the mains,

^ defrost the freezer section,

^ clean the appliance out and

^ leave the doors ajar to air the

appliance.

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

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.

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,

– if too much food is stored in it at

once,

– 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 section

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

If you wish to check the temperature in the refrigerator,

Please note that:

bathwater and other household

–

thermometers are not very accurate. It is best to use an electronic thermometer.

Do not measure the temperature of

–

the air in the appliance. The result will not reflect the temperature in the food.

Try to open the door as little as

–

possible during the measuring period, as warm room air will enter the refrigerator every time the door is opened.

...inthefreezer section

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.

place a thermometer in a glass of water and then place the glass in the middle of the refrigerator.

After about 24 hours, the thermometer will show the approximate temperature in the refrigerator.

Setting the temperature

The temperature is set with the On/Off and temperature selector dial.

Turn it to a setting between 1 and 7.

The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance.

A middle range setting is usually sufficient.

However, if frozen food is to be stored in the freezer section then a setting of between 4 and 7 is recommended to ensure that the required temperature in the freezer section is maintained.

It is also advisable to set the temperature within this range, if

– the doors are opened frequently,

– large quantities of food are stored

inside the appliance,

The correct temperature

– there is a high ambient temperature.

Winter setting

With very low ambient temperatures at or below 18 °C the freezer section

may not be able to maintain its temperature which could result in frozen food beginning to thaw. The winter setting is designed to prevent this happening.

Activating the winter setting

^ Press the switch for the winter setting

to "1".

The compressor will switch on more frequently, lowering the temperature in the freezer section to the required level.

Deactivating the winter setting

As soon as the ambient temperature rises above 18 °C , the winter setting

should be switched off.

Press the switch for the winter setting to "0".

The appliance will run at normal power again.

So that fresh food freezes effectively, you must activate the winter setting before putting fresh food into the freezer compartment. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.

It is not necessary to activate the winter setting:

when putting in food that is already

–

frozen. when freezing up to 1 kg fresh food

–

in any one day.

Activating

Activate the winter setting 24 hours before putting fresh food into the freezer section for freezing.

Press the switch for the winter setting to "1".

The compressor will switch on more frequently, lowering the temperature in the freezer section.

Deactivating

The fresh food will be frozen approx. 24 hours after placing it in the freezer section and the winter setting can then be deactivated.

Press the switch for the winter setting to "0".

The appliance will run at normal power again.

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.

Storing food in the refrigerator

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 at the front and in the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.

Coldest area

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,

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.

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

–

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

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

Moving the shelves

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

Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards

slightly 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 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.

fit the two brackets onto the supports

on either side at the required height,

and push the glass shelves in one

after the other. The shelf with the raised edge must be at the back.

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.

^ Push the rear half of the glass shelf

up slightly from below.

At the same time, pull the front half of the glass shelf forwards slightly and then push it carefully under the rear half.

To move the split shelf:

Take both halves of the split glass shelf out,

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.

Freezing and storing food

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer section 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 has been calculated according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan dard.

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 section, 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 section 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.

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.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. As there is not so much moisture, 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

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.

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 section. 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 section.

Packing

^ 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.

–

To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film. This prevents them freezing together in solid blocks.

Freezing and storing 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.

Approx. 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer section

Turn the On/Off and temperature

selector to a medium to high (cold) setting (about 6).

^ Activate the winter setting function

(see "Winter setting").

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

Placing food in the freezer section

The following maximum capacities must be observed: – freezer drawer = 25 kg – glass cold plate = 35 kg

Freezing small amounts of food

–

Place the food flat in the bottom of

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

Freezing the maximum amount of

–

food (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 plate.

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.

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

Turn the On/Off and temperature selector to a slightly lower setting.

Deactivate the winter setting.

Freezing and storing food

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.

Ice cubes

^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with

water and place it at the bottom of the freezer section or in the top freezer drawer.

^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,

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

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.

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.

Cooling drinks

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer section, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise 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 section

The freezer section does not defrost automatically.

In normal use, ice and frost will form in the freezer, 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 section at once.

–

whether 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 also 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.

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.

Before defrosting

Turn the On/Off and temperature selector to a medium to cold setting (approx. 6) and activate the winter setting (see "Winter setting") to ensure frozen food retains its cold reserve for longer when taken out of the freezer.

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

Defrosting

Store it in a cool place until the

freezer is ready for use again.

Remove the freezer drawers and

glass cold plate from the freezer.

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.

Closing the door in this instance will help retain warmth and speed up the defrosting process.

After defrosting

Clean the appliance and then dry it

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

Close the door.

Reconnect to the mains and switch

the appliance back on.

Put the cold plate and the freezer

drawers back into the appliance.

^ Once the temperature in the freezer

has reached the required temperature, place the food back in the freezer section.

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.

Deactivate the winter setting and switch the appliance off.

Disconnect it from the mains.

Open the freezer section door.

Use a sponge or towel to soak up the defrosted water.

To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot water (not boiling) can be placed on a saucer in the freezer compartment.

Make sure that water cannot get into the On/Off and temperature selector dial, the light or the ventilation gaps.

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

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to defrost or 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.

Cleaning and care

sharp metal scrapers.

–

Before cleaning

Switch off the appliance.

Disconnect it from the mains.

Take any food out of the appliance

and store it in a cool place.

Defrost the freezer section.

Take out any removable parts, e.g.

shelves, for cleaning.

Cleaning the interior and accessories

^ Clean the appliance at least once a

month.

To avoid damaging the surfaces 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,

–

stainless steel cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

oven sprays,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

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

–

melamine eraser blocks,

Remove soiling immediately to prevent it from drying on.

Use lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid.

The following are dishwasher safe:

–

the butter dish, egg trays, ice cube tray (supplied as standard, depending on model)

–

the shelves and bottle shelf in the door

–

the butter and cheese compartment

Cleaning and care

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.

Clean the interior shelves and

drawers by hand. These are not suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher.

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.

Appliance doors, side panels

Remove any soiling from the appliance doors and side panels im mediately. If this is not done, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the surface to alter or discolour.

All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the surfaces.

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.

Stainless steel appliance doors:

The appliance doors have a high quality, special finish which is resistant to soiling and is very easy to clean.

Do not use the following to clean/condition the door – stainless steel cleaning agent: this will damage the surface. – Miele stainless steel conditioning agent:

this will cause noticeable smearing.

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.

Back of appliance compressor and metal grille

The compressor and the metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) must be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

When cleaning make sure that the cable and other components do not get broken, kinked or damaged in any way.

Door seals

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.

The door seals should be cleaned regularly with clean water and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning and care

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories in the appliance.

Plug in the appliance again and switch on using the On/Off and temperature selector.

Place food back in the appliance and close the doors.

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 can cause considerable danger to users. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Has a large amount of fresh food

been frozen at the same time? This makes the compressor run for longer, causing the temperature in the refrigerator section to fall automatically. For this reason, do not exceed the maximum quantity of food that can be frozen at once - see the data plate.

Has the winter setting been activated?

However, some minor problems can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service department.

What to do if...

. . . the appliance does not get cold.

^ Make sure that the On/Off and

temperature selector is not set at "0".

^ Check that the plug is correctly

inserted into the socket and switched on.

Check that the fuse is not defective and that the mains fuse has not tripped. If it has, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service department.

. . . the temperature in the refrigerator section is too low.

Turn the On/Off and temperature selector to a warmer setting.

Check that the freezer section door has been closed properly.

. . . the compressor is switching in too frequently and for too long.

Check whether the ventilation gaps

have been covered over or become dusty.

^ Check whether the ambient

temperature is too warm. The higher the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor will run.

Follow the advice given in

"Installation - Location".

^ Check whether the compressor and

the metal grille (heat exchanger) at the back of the appliance have become dusty.

The doors have been opened too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in at once for freezing.

Check that the doors have been closed properly.

Check to see whether a thick layer of ice has built up in the freezer section. If it has, then the freezer section will need defrosting.

Problem solving guide

. . . the frozen food is thawing because the freezer section is too warm.

Is the room temperature lower than

the ambient temperature for which the appliance is designed?

If so, increase the temperature of the room.

Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long, causing the freezer section to become too warm.

^ Activate the winter setting (see

"Winter setting").

. . . food has frozen together.

Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.

. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the freezer section.

Check whether the freezer section door closes properly.

Defrost and then clean the freezer section.

Too thick a layer of ice reduces efficiency and increases energy consumption.

. . . the interior light cover is warm even though the door has not been opened for a while

This is not a fault.

This appliance is equipped with a winter setting. If the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance drops to below 18 °C, and the winter setting is not activated, the compressor will run less often causing the freezer section to become too warm. With the winter setting activated, the interior light will come on automatically, even with the door closed, if the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance drops below 18 °C. This warms up the temperature inside the refrigerator section.

The warmth created by the light being on causes the compressor to start up more frequently and thus lower the temperature in the freezer section again.

Please be aware that the appliance will not work properly if the ambient temperature drops below 10 °C, even with the winter setting activated. If this happens you will need to increase the ambient temperature in the room in which the appliance is installed.

Problem solving guide

. . . the interior lighting in the refrigerator is not working.

First check whether the light contact

switch is sticking or the On/Off and temperature selector is at "0".

If this is not the case, then the LED lamp is defective.

Replace the LED lamp as quickly as possible. Otherwise the winter setting cannot function if activated.

Disconnect the appliance from the

mains.

Use only Miele original LED lamps. These are available from Miele (see back cover for details) or from your Miele dealer. Similar LED lamps may present a fire risk and must not be used.

The lamp can, if wished, be replaced

with a halogen lamp; 220 - 240 V, max. 15 W, cap E 14, available from Miele.

Push the cover securely back into

position.

. . . the floor of the refrigerator section is wet.

The condensate drain hole is blocked.

^ Clean the condensate channel and

drain hole.

Reach into the back of the light cover, press upwards at the side a, and then pull the cover off b.

If the cover is damaged or needs to be removed due to damage, exercise caution. There are lasers in the lighting (laser beam class 1M) which you should avoid looking at directly. Do not use optical instruments (magnifying glass or similar) to look at the lighting either.

Replace the LED lamp.

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.
