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.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all rele vant legal safety requirements. Inap propriate use can however lead to personal injury and damage to prop erty.

Read the operating instructions carefully before starting to use this appliance. They contain important notes on installation, safety, opera tion and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of acci dents and damage to the appliance.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Correct use

This appliance is intended for do-

mestic use only for the cool storage of food and drink as well as for storing deep frozen food, freezing fresh food and for preparing ice. Any other usage is not supported by the manu facturer and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.

Technical safety

This appliance contains the coolant

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas

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,

- disconnect from the mains,

- air the room in which the appliance is

located for several minutes and

- contact the Service Department for advice.

The more refrigerant 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 combusti ble gases building up. For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply make sure that the rating on the data plate corre sponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

The electrical safety of this appli

ance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the ap pliance and an effective earthing sys tem, which complies with local and na tional safety regulations. It is most im portant that this basic safety requirement is tested regularly and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Safe operation of the appliance is

only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instruc tions.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Installation work, maintenance and

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 its 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 liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

The stainless steel surface has a pro tective cover to prevent scratching dur ing transportation.

Do not remove this cover until the ap

pliance has been installed or built in. Start at one of the upper corners.

Clean the inside of the appliance and

the accessories with warm water and a little washing up liquid and then dry with 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 before connecting it to the mains.

Switching on

Switching off

Press the main switch.

The temperature display goes out and

the cooling process is switched off. If this does not happen, then the safety

lock is still engaged.

To switch the refrigerator section off

separately

The refrigerator section can be switched off without having to switch off the freezer section. This is useful e.g. whilst on holiday.

^ Press the On/Off button for the refrig-

erator section.

The refrigerator and freezer sections are switched on together by pressing the main switch or by pressing the on button on the left hand side of the con trol panel.

Press the main switch.

Bars will light up in the temperature dis play and a buzzer will sound. The appli ance starts cooling.

Allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it. This will ensure that the temperature is suffi ciently low.

The temperature display for the re frigerator section goes out and the refrigerator section switches off.

Switching on and off

To switch the refrigerator section

back on again

Press the On/Off button again.

Bars will appear in the temperature display for the refrigerator section. The refrigerator section starts cool ing. The interior light will come on when the door is opened.

Switching off the alarm

^ Press the alarm button. The alarm stops. The bars will continue

flashing in the temperature display until the temperature which has been set is reached.

Cool pack

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

Then press the Super freeze button

as well and keep both buttons pressed in for approx. 3 seconds un til the Safety lock indicator light d in the temperature display lights up and a beep sounds.

The appliance can now not be switched off until the lock is de-activated.

De-activating the safety lock

Repeat the same procedure as for

engaging the lock given above.

The safety lock indicator light must go out in the temperature display. The appliance can now be switched off at any time.

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),

clean the appliance out and

leave the doors ajar to air the appli ance.

Safety lock

The safety lock can be engaged to pre vent the appliance being switched off inadvertently.

Engaging the safety lock

Press and hold the alarm button.

If, during a long absence, the appli ance 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 freezer

For freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time a tempera ture of at least -18 °C is needed. At this

temperature the growth of micro organ

isms 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.

Temperature selection

The temperatures for the refrigerator section and for the freezer section are set independently from one another using the buttons to the right and left hand sides of the temperature displays.

Press the

. . . in the refrigerator

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

Upper button: to raise the temperature (it gets warmer) Lower button: to reduce the tempera ture (it gets colder)

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

The correct temperature

When pressing the buttons the follow ing are shown in the display:

When first pressed: The last

–

temperature selected flashes. Each subsequent press of the but

–

ton: adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps.

Keeping the button pressed in: ad

–

justs the temperature continually.

Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of the button the current actual tempera ture of the refrigerator or freezer is auto matically shown.

If you have adjusted the temperature,

wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before

checking the temperature display as it will take this long for the display to show the accurate temperature of the appliance. If, after this time, the temperature is too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted:

in the refrigerator section from 2 °C

–

to 11 °C in the freezer section from -16 °C to

–

-26 °C

The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to reach the lowest temperture. If the am bient temperature is too high, the appli ance may not reach the lowest temper ature.

Temperature displays

During normal operation the temperature display shows the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section and the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.

If the temperature in the appliance is not within the range that the appliance is able to display (i.e. if it is not between 0 °C and 19 °C in the refrigerator sec tion, and if the temperature in the freezer section is above 0 °C), only a bar will light up in the temperature dis plays.

It will take between 3 and 8 hours ap proximately for the appliance to reach the required temperature. The time it takes will depend on where the appli ance is located and the temperature setting selected.

The correct temperature

The temperature displays flash, if

a different temperature is being set,

–

the temperature in the appliance has

–

risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.

This loss of coldness is no cause for concern in the following circumstances:

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. Do not refreeze thawed or defrosted food! If it has started thawing, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, use it as soon as possible.

The appliance is supplied with the brightness of the temperature display set as low as possible. However, if the door is opened, a setting changed or if the alarm is sounding, the temperature display will appear much brighter for approx. 1 minute.

The level of brightness can be adjusted to be:

Brighter: by pressing the alarm but

–

ton, and whilst holding it in, press the upper button next to the temperature display for the freezer section.

– Dimmer: by pressing the alarm but-

ton, and whilst holding it in, press the lower button next to the temperature display for the freezer section.

Alarm

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open. The alarm system is always active. You can not disable it.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature in the freezer gets too warm an alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash. The tem perature the appliance is set at deter mines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.

The alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:

– when the freezer is switched on. – when the freezer section door has

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

Switching the alarm tone off early

Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer section, the alarm tone stops and the temperature is

displayed constantly. 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. The temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached. It then lights up constantly.

– when freezing large amounts of food. –

when there has been a lengthy inter ruption to the power supply.

Door alarm

If the door has been left open for approx. 60 seconds the alarm will sound.

Super cool, super freeze and dynamic cooling

Super cool

The super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting.

Switching on super cool

Super cool is particularly recom mended for faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.

^ Press the super cool button, the

super cool indicator light will come on.

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

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.

Switching off super cool

The super cool function switches itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light goes out and the ap pliance continues running at normal power.

To save energy the super cool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

Press the super cool button. The super cool indicator light will go out.

The appliance continues running at normal power.

Super cool, super freeze and dynamic cooling

Super freeze

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

Exceptions:

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 be

forehand. When freezing the maximum load of food the super freeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

Dynamic cooling

With dynamic cooling the temperature

inside the refrigerator section is distrib uted to all areas more evenly. All food stored in the refrigerator section will be chilled to about the same degree. The temperature is controlled as normal with the temperature buttons.

Dynamic cooling should be selected when:

the ambient temperature in the room

–

is high (above approx. 30 °C) and the room humidity level is high.

–

Switching on dynamic cooling

^ Press the switch for dynamic cooling

above the fan to m. The fan will start turning. To save energy, the fan will switch itself

off when the refrigerator section door is opened.

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 freezer section.

Switching super freeze off

Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer the super freeze function will switch off automatically af ter approx. 30 to 60 hours. The super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at nor mal power.

Switching off dynamic cooling

When dynamic cooling is switched on the appliance uses more energy. It should therefore be switched off when the room temperature is normal (below 30 °C) and when humidity levels are normal.

Press the switch for dynamic cooling

to "0". The fan will stop after a short while.

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

(depending on model) 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 forwards. 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.

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, depending on variety. Remove and cool quickly

in cold water. Drain and pack ready for freezing.

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.

–

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.

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.

Freezing and storing food

Make a note of the contents and the

date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the freezer

When freezing more than 2 kg of

fresh food, switch on the super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").

Placing food in the freezer

Food to be frozen can be placed any where in the freezer.

Packing

^ Freeze food in portions.

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

- aluminium foil

- freezer containers

Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin bags

- plastic carrier bags

Expel as much air as possible from 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

- freezer tape.

Each drawer and separator plate can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg.

When freezing large items e.g. a turkey or a large joint of meat, the separator plate in between two of the freezer drawers can be removed to give more room. This way food can be stored in the space of two drawers.

The bottom freezer drawer must not be taken out of the appliance. After removing the top drawer make sure that you do not block the venti lation slits in the back wall of the ap pliance. They are important for trou

ble-free operation of the appliance.

Remove the drawers above and be low the separator plate.

Freezer bags may also be sealed us ing home heat sealing kits.

Freezing and storing food

Freezer calendar

The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored for effec tively.

Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.

Press down on the hook a under

neath the rear of the separator plate and pull the plate forwards and out b.

To put the separator plate back in push it back into place making sure it audibly clicks into position.

^ Place the food flat in the bottom of

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

^ Always freeze similar types of food

together to save time and energy when taking food out of the freezer.

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.

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 rep-

resented on the dials as 1 – 12.

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.

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.

– Poultry It is particularly important to

observe food hygiene rules when de frosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands.

Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature 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 vegetables.

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 in the bottom of the freezer section.

^ 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

Drinks are best cooled quickly in the re frigerator section using the Super cool function. If bottles have been placed in the freezer for rapid cooling, make sure they are not left in the freezer for more than one hour, as they could burst.

Freezing and storing food

Freezer tray

The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries and vegeta bles. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted.

^ Space the food out loosely 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.

Cool pack

The cool pack prevents the tempera ture in the freezer rising too quickly in

the event of a power cut.

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

If there is a power cut place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.

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

The cool 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 ap pliance.

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

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

Freezer section

This freezer is equipped with a "No-frost" system. The freezer section defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated by defrosting

collects in the condensor and is auto matically dissipated by the condensor from time to time.

This enables the freezer section to re

main permanently ice-free while the food remains frozen. This system will not cause food stored in the freezer to defrost!

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.

For stainless steel surfaces, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent.

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

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

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

The data plate located inside the ap pliance must not be removed. It contains information which is re quired in the event of a service call.

Before cleaning

Switch the appliance off by pressing the On-Off switch.

Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.

Cleaning the outer casing, the

interior and accessories

Clean the refrigerator section at least

once a month and the freezer section at regular intervals.

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 conden sate can drain away unhindered. Use

a straw or similar to clear the drain if necessary.

^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a

suitable cleaning agent.

^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,

the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors open to air the appliance for a short while.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,

Part Number 98013530, which is suit

able for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.

If you are unsure about a particular product or need further advice please contact your nearest Miele Sales office. See back page for ad dress.

Take out any removable parts e.g. shelves for cleaning.

Cleaning and care

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 appliances energy consumption.

Door seals

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

The door seals should be cleaned regularly 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 appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories

in the refrigerator section. Place food back in the refrigerator

section, close the appliance doors, and switch the refrigerator section and the freezer 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.

^ Switch off the super freeze function

with the super freeze button. The indicator light will go out.

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

Building in the appliance

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.

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

to ensure that air can circulate 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.

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.

Do not drill within the area marked with criss cross pattern as this

would damage insulated parts of the appliance.
