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.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

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!

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your waste collec tion centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Make sure that the pipework is not damaged whilst moving an old appli ance. This is to ensure that the refriger ant and oil in the compressor cannot leak into the environment. It is important that they are disposed of in a safe manner by authorised persons only.

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

See the appropriate section in the Warning and safety instructions.

which is very environment friendly. Al

though it is flammable, it does not dam

age the ozone layer and does not in crease the green house effect. The use of this environment friendly 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 flow ing around the system. This is unavoid able, but does not have any adverse ef fect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the coolant system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:

- avoid open fires

and anything which creates a spark,

repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent per sons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable.

Ensure that current is not supplied

to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

the plug has been withdrawn. Do not

–

pull on the cable, only on the plug. – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed in

countries where this is applicable.

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).

Operation

Never handle frozen food with wet

hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. 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 frost burn to the lips and tongue.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not refreeze thawed or partially

thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possi ble as food soon loses it nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Do not store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products con taining propellants (e.g. spray cans). Switching on thermostats may produce sparks which could present a fire haz ard.

If storing alcohol with a high per

centage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

Do not store cans or bottles con-

taining carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

When cooling drinks quickly in the

freezer make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

Observe the "use by" dates given

on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors including the freshness and quality of the food as well as the tem perature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on food manufac turer’s packaging on storage conditions required as well as the "use by" date.

Do not use sharp edged objects to

remove frost and ice,

–

separate frozen foods and remove

–

ice trays.

They will damage the evaporator caus ing irreversible damage to the appli ance.

Never place electric heaters or

candles in the appliance to defrost

it. These can damage the plastic parts.

Do not use defrosting sprays, or de-icers as they could contain sub

stances which could damage the plastic parts and which may cause the build up of gases and pose a danger to health.

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 store cooking oil in the appliance door. Traces of oil can

cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in the appliance as this would impair

the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is designed for a

use within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures). It must not be used in ranges for which it is not de signed. The climate range for your ap pliance is stated on the data plate in side the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature will lead to the ap pliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

Never use a steam-cleaning appli

ance to defrost or clean this appli ance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surrounding in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may caused by cockroaches or vermin will not be covered by the appli ance guarantee.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of an old appli

ance first make the door latch or lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

Before disposing of an old appli

ance, unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly be hind the appliance and at the plug to prevent misuse.

Be careful not to damage any part

of the pipework whilst awaiting dis posal, e.g. by

– puncturing the refrigerant channels

in the evaporator. – bending any pipework. – scratching the surface coating. Splashes of refrigerant can damage the

eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held lia ble for damage caused by non-com pliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Operation

Before using for the first time

Clean the inside of the appliance and

the accessories with luke warm water and a little washing up liquid and then dry using a soft cloth.

Important: To ensure correct func tioning of the appliance, let it stand for between ½ and 1 hour after transporting it to its final location be fore connecting it to the mains.

Switching on

The refrigerator section and the freezer section are switched on independently of one another so that if required only the one section needs to be switched on.

Refrigerator section

Freezer section

Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for

the freezer section in a clockwise di rection away from the "0" position.

The alarm indicator light flashes. An alarm sounds after a short while and the appliance starts cooling.

Allow the freezer to run for a few hours

before placing food in it. This will en sure that the temperature in the freezer is sufficiently low.

Switching off the alarm

^ Press the alarm button. The alarm stops. The indicator light re-

mains lit until the freezer temperature which has been set is reached.

Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for the refrigerator section in a clockwise direction away from the "0" position.

Forcing it beyond its range would damage it. Turn it only as far as it will go, then turn it back again.

The indicator light for the refrigerator section will come on. The appliance starts cooling. The interior light will come on if the door is opened.

Ice pack

(depending on model) Place the ice pack in the top drawer or

to save space on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be at its most effective af ter it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

Switching off

Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in an

anti-clockwise direction back to the "0" position.

The temperature display goes out. The cooling process is 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 at the mains, ^ withdraw the plug (pull on the plug

and not the cable),

^ defrost the freezer section, ^ clean the appliance out and ^ leave the doors ajar to air the appli-

ance.

Operation

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.

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the ap pliance. Micro organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem perature 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.

. . . in the refrigerator

We recommend a temperature of 5 °C in middle of the refrigerator section.

If you wish to check the temperature in the refrigerator,

Please note the following

bathwater and other household ther

–

mometers are not very accurate. It is

best to use an electronic thermome

ter.

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.

. . . in the freezer

For freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time a temperature of at least -18 °C is needed. At this temperature the growth of micro organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises to 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 wa ter and then place the glass in the middle of the refrigerator section.

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

The correct temperature

Temperature selection

The temperatures for the refrigerator section and for the freezer section are set independently from one another.

Use a coin to turn the temperature

dial clockwise to the required setting.

Turn it only as far as it will go, then turn it back again. Turning it beyond its range would damage it.

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

In normal use, a setting between 2 and 3 is generally sufficient. You should also check the temperature inside the appliance from time to time.

play, as it will take this long for the dis play to show the accurate temperature of the freezer. If the temperature dis played is too low or too high, then ad just the temperature once more.

A temperature above -18 °C is no cause for concern in the following cir cumstances:

when the appliance has just been

–

switched on, when the door has been left open for

–

a while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food,

– when fresh food is being frozen. However, if the temperature remains

above -18 °C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started to defrost. If this is the case, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as possible.

Freezer section temperature display

During normal operation the tempera ture display on the control panel shows the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section. Ranges of tempera tures rather than individual tempera tures are shown. This means that the temperatures displayed are approxi mate.

If you have adjusted the temperature selector in order to set a different tem perature, wait for approx. 6 hours if

the freezer is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the freezer is full

before checking the temperature dis

Alarm

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed. It is always active. An alarm will sound and the alarm indicator light will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. The setting on the tempera ture control determines the temperature the appliance recognises as too warm.

The alarm sounds and the alarm indica tor light comes on,

when the freezer is first switched on.

–

when the door of the appliance has

–

been left open for a while, e.g. in or der to load, to re-arrange or to take out food.

– when freezing a large quantity of

food.

– when there has been a lengthy inter-

ruption to the power supply.

Switching the alarm tone off early

The alarm stops and the indicator light goes out once the set temperature range has been reached. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can turn the alarm tone off before this if you wish.

Press the alarm button.

The alarm stops, but the alarm indicator light remains lit. It does not go out until the set temperature range has been reached.

Super freeze

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.

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.

Super freeze

Switch the super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer.

Super freeze is not necessary:

–

when putting in frozen food.

–

when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily.

Switching on super freeze

When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer the super freeze function should be switched on 4 - 6 hours

beforehand. When freezing the maxi mum load of food the super freeze

function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

^ Press the super freeze button. The

super freeze indicator light will come on.

The appliance works at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.

Switching super freeze off

The super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 50 hours. The super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.

To save energy the super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of at least -18 °C has been reached in the freezer.

To switch it off press the super freeze button. The super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently

Different storage zones

Natural air circulation gives rise to dif ferent temperature zones inside the re frigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.

Coldest zone

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products con

taining combustible gas (e.g. spray

cans). Danger of explosion.

If storing alcohol with a high per centage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and store upright.

The coldest zone in the refrigerator sec tion is directly above the vegetable containers.

Use this for all delicate and highly per ishable 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 prod-

ucts,

–

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

Warmest zone

The warmest zone is in the top section of the refrigerator door. Use this for stor ing butter and cheese.

Do not store cooking oil in the refrig erator door. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic com

ponents in the door.

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

Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration. These include:

–

Fruit and vegetables which are sensi tive to cold, such as bananas, avo cado pears, papaya, passion fruit,

aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers

–

Fruit which is not yet ripe

–

Potatoes

–

Some hard cheeses

Using the refrigerator section 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. 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. How ever, 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 stongly to this gas and should not be stored together in the vegetable containers.

Examples of fruit which produce a large amount of this natural gas are:

Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears and figs.

Energy saving tips

Frequently opening the door or keep

–

ing it open for too long will cause the temperature in the appliance to rise. The appliance will have to run more often in order to maintain the cool temperature inside the appliance. Only open the door when you need to and then only for as long as nec essary.

If you organise where you store your

–

food correctly you should be able to

find things quickly and easily without allowing the temperature in the appli ance to rise. Sort the food out carefully before putting it into the appliance.

– Hot food and drinks must be cooled

to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.

– Do not store groceries too close to

each other. Space should be left between individual items for air to circulate.

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.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Moving the shelves

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

Pull the shelves forward as far as

they will go then lift them upwards to remove them.

With the rear barrier facing upwards

place the shelf at the required posi tion. 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 re

move it by pulling it upwards. Replace the door shelf at the re

quired position. Ensure that it is se curely 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.

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 ex ceeded. The maximum freezing capac ity for freezing within a 24 hour period is given on the data plate "Freezing ca

pacity ....kg/24 hrs".

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 temperaure 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 box to transport it.

Store it in the freezer as soon as pos sible.

Never re-freeze partially or fully de frosted 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.

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, veg etables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy prod ucts, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.

The following types of food are not

–

suitable for freezing: grapes, lettuces, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.

– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,

vegetables should be blanched after they have been trimmed and washed. To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, immerse the vegetables in the fast boil ing water for 2 – 3 minutes, depend ing on variety. Remove and cool quickly in cold water. Drain and pack

ready for freezing.

–

Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat and can be stored for consider ably 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.

Freezing and storing food

Do not season fresh foods or

–

blanched vegetables before freez ing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing but care should be taken as the taste of some spices al ters when frozen.

Do not place hot foods or drinks in

–

the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw and increases the energy consumption consider ably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packing

^ Freeze food in portions.

Suitable packing material

– plastic freezer film – freezer bags – freezer containers – aluminium foil

Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.

Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them to pre vent freezer burn on food.

Close the packaging tightly with – rubber bands – plastic clips – string or bag ties – cold resistant adhesive tape.

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

unsuitable packing material

– wrapping paper – grease-proof paper – cellophane

– dustbin liners – plastic carrier bags

Before placing food in the freezer

When freezing more than 2 kg of

fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for a while before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").

Placing in the freezer

Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is prefer able to use the upper drawers. Large quantities can be placed directly on the evaporator plates to freeze the food quickly. To do this first take out one or several freezer drawers.

Do not place frozen food, even if it is in a flat package, in the space between the roof of the freezer and the top evaporator plate. This space is important for an unhindered air circulation and troublefree operation of the appliance.

Each drawer and evaporator plate

can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg.

Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the evaporator plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, 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.

Freezer calendar

The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored effectively. Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.

Marker system for frozen food

Markers serve as a reminder of how long food has been stored.

Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials. The months are represented on the dials as 1 – 12.

Freezing and storing food

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in differ ent ways:

in the microwave oven,

–

in the oven using the "Fan" or "De

–

frost" setting, at room temperature,

–

in the fridge.

– Fruit should be defrosted at room tem

perature in its packing 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 vege-tables.

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.

Slide the markers onto the guide run ners on the edge of the drawers.

Use the markers to indicate the type of food being frozen and turn the dials to the appropriate number to indicate the month the food was first placed in the freezer.

Warning Never re-freeze partially of fully de frosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Freezing and storing food

Ice cubes

Press down the release button on the

ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa ter. Any excess will flow out through the outlet.

Now pull the release button up to

seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray 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.

^ Ice cubes can be removed easily

from the tray by holding it under cold running water for a short while.

Cooling drinks

Freezer tray

(Depending on model) The freezer tray can be used for freez

ing soft fruit, herbs, small items etc. The tray allows you to space out the food so that it does not stick together and keeps its shape.

^ Place the food on the tray. ^ Hang the tray in one of the upper

freezer drawers.

Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a freezer bag or suitable container once frozen. Place the bag or container in the freezer drawer.

When cooling drinks quickly, make sure bottles are not left in the freezer for more than one hour, as they could burst.

Ice pack

(Depending on model) The ice pack prevents the temperature

in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut.

Place the ice pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food or to save space on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

If there is a power cut lay the ice pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for the longest time possible.

When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the ice pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw.

Freezing and storing food

The ice pack can also be used in a cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.

Defrosting

Refrigerator section

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. These are automati cally removed and defrosted by the appliance.

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

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

Freezer section

The freezer section does not defrost automatically because frozen food must not be allowed to defrost.

In normal use ice and frost will form on the evaporator plates. If allowed to accumulate, this will impair the efficiency of the freezer and increase the con sumption of electricity.

Before defrosting

Switch on the super freeze function at

least 4 hours before defrosting to en sure frozen food retains its cold re serve for longer when taken out of the freezer.

Remove the frozen food from the

freezer and place it in another freezer

or cool box or wrap it in several lay ers of newspaper or cloths and store in a cool place until the freezer is ready for use again.

Take all freezer drawers out of the

freezer.

To defrost

Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts.

Switch the freezer section off by turn ing the on/off dial to the "0" position.

Do not scrape ice and frost off the evaporator plates as this can dam age the evaporator plates and the freezer making it unusable.

The freezer section should be defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has accumulated. It is best to defrost when only very little food or no food at all is left in the freezer.

Open the freezer section door.

Open out the outlet guide for defrosted water.

Place the lowest freezer drawer in

front of the appliance and direct the outlet guide through the hole in the drawer. Any defrosted water will then collect in the drawer.

To speed up defrosting, a bowl of hot water (not boiling) can be placed in the appliance.

We do not recommend the use of hot air blowers such as hairdryers for defrosting your freezer.

Defrosting

After defrosting

Empty the freezer drawer.

Mop up any residual water still in the

freezer section with a sponge or ab sorbent cloth.

Clean the freezer section and then

dry it thoroughly. Fold the outlet guide back into posi

tion. Close the door and then switch the

freezer section on. Switch on the super freeze function

so that the freezer section can get down to temperature quickly. The super freeze indicator light will come on.

^ Once the temperature in the freezer

has reached the required temperature place the food back in the freezer drawers and place them back in the in the freezer.

Never place electric heaters or can dles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

Do not use defrosting sprays, or de-icers as they could contain sub stances which could damage the plastic parts and which may cause a build up of gases and pose a dan ger to health.

The super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temper ature of at least -18 °C has been reached in the freezer. The indicator light will go out.

Cleaning and care

Never use cleaning agents contain ing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical sol vents.

"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear.

Make sure that no water can pene trate into the electronic unit, into the light or into the ventilation gaps.

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

Never use steam cleaning apparatus to defrost or clean the appliance. The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Cleaning the outer casing, the

interior and accessories

Use lukewarm water with a little wash ing up liquid. Accessories and shelves should be hand washed only. The but ter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.

Clean the refrigerator section at least

once a month and the freezer section each time it is defrosted.

Clean the condensate channel and

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

^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,

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.

E-Cloth

The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It con tains information which is required in the event of a service call.

Before cleaning

Switch the appliance off by turning both the On/Off dials to the "0" posi tion.

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.

^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available

from the Miele UK Spare Parts De partment, Part Number 980 13530, which is suitable for cleaning sur faces 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 appliance's energy consumption.

Cleaning and care

Door seals

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

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

Metal grille at the back of the appliance

The metal grille at the back of the appli ance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

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

The super freeze function can be

switched off once a constant temper ature of at least -18 °C has been reached in the freezer. The indicator

light will go out.

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigerator section.

Place food back in the refrigerator section, close the appliance doors, and switch both the freezer section and the refrigerator section on.

Switch on the super freeze function so that the freezer section can cool down quickly. The super freeze indi cator light will come on.

Once the temperature in the freezer has reached the required tempera ture place the food back in the freezer drawers and place them back in the freezer section.

Problem solving guide

Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suit ably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and na tional safety regulations. Unauthor ised repairs could be dangerous.

The following can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service Depart ment.

. . . the appliance does not get cool.

Make sure that the temperature dials

are not pointing to the "0" position. Check that the plug is correctly in

serted in the socket. Check that the fuse is not defective

and that the mains fuse has not blown. If it has contact the Miele Ser vice Department.

What to do if . . .

. . . strange noises can be heard after switching on the appliance, especially after it has just been installed.

^ Check to see whether any pieces of

furniture next to the appliance are vibrating whilst the appliance is in operation. Switch the appliance off then:

^ Check whether the appliance is

aligned correctly.

Check whether all parts at the rear of the appliance are free from hinderance. Remove any hinderance.

Check whether the cable clips have been unclipped from the back of the appliance. They could vibrate when the appliance is operating.

Check that all removable parts are securely located in the appliance.

Check whether any bottles or con tainers are touching each other.

Remember that the noise of the com pressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.

. . . the door to the freezer section will not open because it has been opened and closed too many times in suc cession.

This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening and closing the door is preventing the door from opening. Wait a few minutes and then try again. It should now open without force.

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

^ Set the temperature to a warmer set-

ting

The super freeze function has not been switched off. The indicator light is still on.

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

Check whether ventilation gaps have been covered over or become too dusty.

Check whether, the metal grille (heat exchanger) at the rear of the appli ance has become too dusty.

Problem solving guide

The doors have been opened too fre

quently, or a large quantity of fresh food has been put in at once for freezing.

Check that the doors have been

properly closed. Check whether a thick layer of ice

has built up in the freezer section. If it has then the freezer section will need defrosting.

...food has frozen together.

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

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

^ Check whether the door to the

freezer section closes properly.

^ Defrost and then clean the freezer

section.

Too thick a layer of ice reduces effi ciency and increases energy consump tion.

. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm indicator light flashes.

Once the problem has been resolved

the alarm indicator light will go out and the alarm will stop.

. . . the alarm indicator light flashes at the same time as -15 °C or -18 °C in the temperature display.

There is a fault. Call the Miele Service Department.

. . . the refrigerator section indicator light is not lit up.

Check to see whether the super freeze indicator light comes on when the super freeze button is pressed.

^ If it does, then the refrigerator section

indicator light is defective. Call the Miele Service Department.

^ If the super freeze light does not

come on either, then check whether – the plug is correctly inserted in the socket. – the mains fuse has blown. If it has there is a fault. Call the Miele Service

Department.

. . . the super freeze indicator light does not light up although the appli ance is working.

The freezer section temperature has risen above the setting on the tempera ture dial because

the door has been opened too fre quently or large amounts of fresh food have been put in at once for freezing.

the ventilation gaps are blocked.

The indicator light is defective. Call the

Miele Service Department.

Problem solving guide

. . . the interior light in the refrigerator section does not work.

Has the door been left open for too

long? The light automatically goes out if the door has been left open for approx. 15 minutes.

If this is not the case then the bulb may be defective and need replacing:

Disconnect the appliance from the

mains. Switch off at the wall and with draw the plug from the socket (pull by the plug not the cable), or discon nect the mains fuse or remove the screw-out fuse in countries where this is applicable.

. . . the floor of the refrigerator sec tion is wet.

The drain hole has become blocked.

Clean the condensate channel and

drain hole.

If you still cannot remedy the fault having followed these suggestions, then contact the Miele Service De

partment.

Installation

Do not place any appliance which gives off heat, such as a toaster or microwave oven on top of this appli ance, as this would increase the ap pliance’s energy consumption.

Location

The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated room. The room temperature should not go above or below the climate range for which the appliance is designed. The higher the ambient temperature of the room the more energy the appliance requires to operate. It should not be installed where it is exposed to direct sunlight or directly adjacent to a heat-producing appliance such as an oven or a radiator.

Ventilation

Air at the rear of the appliance gets warm. To ensure sufficient ventilation the ventilation gaps must not be cov

ered over. The air inlet and outlet must not be cov ered or blocked in any way. They should be dusted on a regular basis.

Handle transit position

When you open the door for the first time, the handles will make a clicking sound. This is quite normal and indi cates that they have adjusted them selves from their transit position to their operational position. The handles will now protrude slightly more in front of the appliance than they did during transportation.

Climate range

The appliance is designed for a particular climate range (ambient room temperature), and should not be used out side this range. The climate range of this appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Climate range Ambient room tempera

ture

+10 °C to +32 °C +16 °C to +32 °C +18 °C to +38 °C +18 °C to +43 °C

Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long causing the internal tem perature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

Building in the appliance

The appliance can be installed in a kitchen run. To match the height of the rest of the kitchen, the appliance can be fitted with a suitable top box a.

A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate. The cross section of the air outlet under the room ceiling must be at least 300 cm without hindrance. Otherwise the appli ance has to work too hard resulting in an increase in electricity consumption. The larger the cross section, the more efficient the appliance.

to ensure that air can circulate

The air inlet and outlet must not be covered or blocked in any way. They should be dusted on a regular basis.

When built into a kitchen run (max. depth 580 mm) the appliance can be installed directly next to a kitchen furni ture housing unit. The appliance door b will protrude in front of furniture fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by 51 mm in the middle of the door. This enables the doors to be opened and shut without being obstructed.

When installed next to a wall c a distance of approx. 36 mm is needed on the hinge side between the wall and the appliance, so that the doors and the handles have sufficient space for opening.

When securing to adjoining furniture d or if a spacer is fitted between the appliance and the wall, please note the following:

Ensure that the doors have sufficient space for opening fully after the ap pliance has been secured.

To secure the appliance to adjoining kitchen furniture use self-tapping

screws. The depth of the screw must

not exceed 10 mm. See small illustra tion.
