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.

Operation

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 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 before 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 you can switch on only one section.

Freezer section

Press the "On/Off" button for the

freezer section.

Bars appear in the temperature display for the freezer section and the alarm sounds. The freezer section starts cool ing.

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

Switching off the alarm

ice pack will be at its most effective af ter it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

Operation

Switching off

Press the "On/Off" button.

The temperature display goes out. The cooling process is switched off. (If this does not happen the safety lock is still engaged.)

Safety lock

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

Engaging the safety lock

^ Press and hold in the alarm button. ^ Then press the Super freeze button

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

The appliance can now not be switched off until the safety lock 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.

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.

Switching off the safety lock

Press and hold in the alarm button.

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 goes out.

The appliance can be switched off now.

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.

Temperature display brightness

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 section can not rise unnoticed. It is always active. If the temperature in the freezer gets too warm an alarm will sound and the tem perature display for the freezer section will flash. The temperature the appli ance is set at determines the tempera ture the appliance recognises as being too warm.

The alarm will sound and the tempera ture 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, to re-arrange or to take

food out. – when freezing large amounts of food. – when there has been a lengthy inter-

ruption to the power supply.

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. It does not go out until the set temperature range has been reached.

Super cool and Super freeze

Super cool

The super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).

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.

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.

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. There will be very little water around the defrosted food.

Super freeze is not necessary:

– when putting in frozen food. –

when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily.

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 and Super freeze

Switching on super freeze

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

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 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 freezer section 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.

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 taken out to allow space for tall items standing on the shelf below.

Adjusting 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

(depending on model) 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, depending 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 in the freezer so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as pos sible.

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

Freezing and storing food

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.

month the food was first placed in the freezer.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in differ ent ways:

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.

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

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 vegetables.

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.

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

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

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.

Freezing and storing food

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.

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 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

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.

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

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 section.

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 appliance on with the On / Off button.

The temperature display goes out. If it does not go out then the safety lock is probably engaged.

Open the freezer section door.

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.

Defrosting

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

Open out the outlet guide for de

frosted water.

^ Place a container in front of the appli-

ance to collect the defrosted water. Make sure that the container does not overflow.

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

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.

After defrosting

^ Empty the container. ^ Use a sponge or a towel to mop up

any water from defrosting still in the appliance.

^ 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. The temperature display for the freezer section lights up.

Switch on the super freeze function so that the freezer can cool down quickly. The super freeze indicator 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 super freeze by pressing the super freeze button. The indicator light will go out.

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

Cleaning and care

Take out any removable parts e.g.

shelves for cleaning.

Cleaning the outer casing, the interior and accessories

"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, into the light or into the ventilation gaps.

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. The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short cir cuit.

The data plate located inside the ap pliance 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 pressing both On-Off switches.

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 condensate 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 appli ance for a short while.

E-Cloth

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.

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

Defrost the freezer section.

Cleaning and care

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.

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.

Door seals

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

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

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories

in the refrigerator section. Place food back in the refrigerator

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

^ Switch off the super freeze function

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

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 con sumption of the appliance.

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

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 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

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.

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 en ables 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.

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

would damage insulated parts of the

appliance.

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.
