Warning and safety instructions

Use

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.

Do not refreeze thawed or partially

thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible 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 containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Switching on thermostats may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard.

If storing alcohol with a high

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

Do not store cans or bottles

containing 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 temperature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on food manufacturer'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 causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

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

the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Warning and safety instructions

Do not store cooking oil in the

refrigerator door. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.

Do not block the ventilation grilles

in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

The appliance is designed for use

within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures) and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

Never use a steam-cleaning

appliance to defrost or clean this appliance. 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 appliance guarantee.

Disposal of old appliances

Before disposing of an old

appliance 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

appliance, unplug it and render the plug unusable. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance and at the plug to prevent misuse.

Be careful not to damage any part

of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, 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 protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation.

Do not remove this foil until the

appliance 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 functioning 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 and freezer sections 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 will flash in the temperature display for the freezer section. The freezer section will start cooling. The alarm will sound when the appliance is switched on for the first time as well as to warn you if the temperature in the appliance has risen.

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

Switching off the alarm

Refrigerator section

Press the On/Off button for the refrigerator section.

A bar will flash in the temperature display for the refrigerator section. The refrigerator section will start cooling. The interior light will come on when the door is opened.

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 of the freezer section. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

Switching on and off

Switching off

Press the appropriate On/Off button.

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

Safety lock

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

To activate the safety lock

^ Press and hold the alarm button. ^ At the same time press the Super

freeze button, and hold both buttons in for about 3 seconds until the safety lock indicator light d lights up in the temperature display and you hear a beep.

Now the appliance cannot be switched off until the lock is de-activated.

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), close the stopcock for the water inlet,

clean the appliance out and

leave the doors ajar to air the

appliance.

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

De-activating the safety lock

Repeat the same procedure as for activating 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.

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.

The temperature in the appliance will rise:

the more often the door is opened

–

and the longer it is kept open, if too much food is stored in it at

–

once,

– the warmer the food is which is being

put into it,

– the higher the ambient temperature

surrounding the appliance. The appliance is designed for use in specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

. . . 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

–

thermometers are not very accurate.

It is best to use an electronic

thermometer.

Do not measure the temperature of

–

the air in the appliance. The result

will not reflect the temperature in the

food.

Try to open the door as little as

–

possible during the measuring

period, as warm room air will enter

the refrigerator every time the door is

opened.

. . . 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 water 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 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

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

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

When pressing the buttons the following are shown in the display:

– When first pressed the last

temperature selected flashes.

– Each subsequent press of the button

adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps.

–

Keeping the button pressed in adjusts the temperature continually.

Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of the button the current actual temperature of the refrigerator or freezer is automatically 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 still 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 -14 °C to

–

-28 °C

The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high, the appliance may not reach the lowest temperature.

Temperature displays

During normal operation, the temperature displays show 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 section, and if the temperature in the freezer section is above 0 °C), bars will flash in the temperature displays.

It will take approximately 3 to 8 hours for the appliance to reach the required temperature. The time it takes will depend on where the appliance 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 quickly 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

–

button, and whilst holding it in, press

the upper button next to the

temperature display for the freezer

section. – Dimmer: by pressing the alarm

button, 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 cannot rise unnoticed. It is always active. If the temperature in the freezer gets too warm an alarm will sound and the temperature display for the freezer section will flash. The temperature the appliance is set at determines 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, to re-arrange or to take

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

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

Switching off super cool

The super cool function switches itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light goes out and the appliance 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 and Super freeze

Super freeze

Super freeze is not necessary:

when putting in frozen food.

–

when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food

–

daily.

Switching on super freeze

Switch the super freeze function on before 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

beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food the super

freeze function should be switched on

24 hours beforehand.

Switching super freeze off

Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer the super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 30 to 60 hours. The super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at normal power.

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.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently

Different storage zones

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

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing combustible gas (e.g. spray cans). Danger of explosion.

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

Coldest zone

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

Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.

– fish, meat, poultry, – sausage products, ready meals, – dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream – fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough, –

soft cheese and other dairy

products, –

pre-packed vegetables and other

fresh food with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of

approx. 4°C.

Warmest zone

Do not store cooking oil in the refrigerator door. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.

Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance. 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 sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado pears, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers

–

Fruit which is not yet ripe

–

Potatoes

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

–

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. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together 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

–

keeping 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 necessary.

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 appliance 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 and half-way

out and then lift them upwards or downwards to remove them.

With the rear barrier facing upwards,

place the shelf at the required position. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.

Split shelf

In order to accommodate tall items in the appliance one of the shelves is divided. The front section can be pushed under the rear section.

^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf

forwards slightly and then push it carefully under the rear half.

Adjusting the door shelves

Push the door shelf upwards then

remove it by pulling it forwards. Replace the door shelf at the

required position. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position.

Moving the bottle divider

The bottle divider can be moved to the left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut.

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 exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24 hour period is given on the data plate

"Freezing capacity ....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

temperature warmer than -18 °C. ^ Buy frozen food once you have

finished the rest of your shopping and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or box to transport it.

Store it in the freezer as soon as possible.

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

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.

Hints on home freezing

The following types of food are

–

suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.

The following types of food are not

–

suitable for freezing: Grapes, 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 boiling 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 considerably 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 freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.

Freezing and storing food

Do not place hot foods or drinks in

–

the freezer. This causes already

frozen food to thaw and increases

the energy consumption

considerably. 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

- 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 prevent freezer burn on food.

Close the packaging tightly with

- rubber bands

- plastic clips

- string or bag ties

- freezer tape.

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 anywhere in the freezer.

Do not place food, even in flat packages in the gap between the uppermost evaporator plate and the roof of the appliance. This gap is essential for maintaining the correct air circulation in the appliance. If it is blocked the appliance will not function properly.

The separator plate and each freezer drawer can hold a maximum capacity 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.

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

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

Freezing and storing food

Remove the drawers above and

below the separator plate.

Press down on the hook a at 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.

^ 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.

Freezer calendar

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

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.

Slide the markers onto the guide runners 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 different ways:

in the microwave oven,

–

in the oven using the "Fan" or

–

"Defrost" setting,

at room temperature,

–

in the fridge.

– 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.

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.

Cooling drinks

Drinks are best cooled quickly in the refrigerator 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.

Cool pack

The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut.

Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section, directly on top of the food. 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.

Ice cube maker

For the automatic ice cube maker to operate it must be connected to the mains water supply.

Switching on

Switch on the freezer section.

Open the top left drawer in the

freezer section.

^ Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker. The indicator light will come on.

^ Close the drawer.

The drawer must be completely shut for ice cubes to be produced.

To ensure that the water pipes are thoroughly flushed through before use, ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes must not be consumed. This applies not only to when the appliance is installed for the first time but also if the appliance has been out of use for a longer period (e.g. whilst on holiday).

Making a large amount of ice cubes

The amount of ice cubes which the appliance makes depends on the temperature in the freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes are produced within a certain time frame.

Ice cube production is halted automatically as soon as the ice cube drawer is full.

If you require a large amount of ice cubes,

After the appliance is switched on for the first time it can take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the the ice cube maker and collect in the drawer. Thereafter, when the ice cube maker is switched off and then on again it will take up to a maximum of 6 hours for ice cubes to be produced.

replace the full ice cube drawer with the drawer beside it on the right.

The ice cube maker will begin to produce ice cubes again as soon as this new drawer has been placed in position and closed properly.

Ice cube maker

Switching off the ice cube maker

The ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes.

Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker until the indicator light goes out.

If the ice cube maker is switched off, the ice cube drawer can be used as an extra drawer for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food.

Defrosting

Refrigerator section

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

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

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

Freezer section

This freezer is equipped with a "Frost free" system. The freezer section defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated by defrosting collects in the condenser and is automatically dissipated by the condenser from time to time.

This enables the freezer section to remain 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 containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear.

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

Do not let water get into the electronic unit, ventilation grilles or into the light.

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

Cleaning the outer casing, the interior and accessories

Use warm water with a little washing up liquid. Accessories, shelves and drawers should be hand washed only. Do not wash in a dishwasher. The butter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.

Clean the appliance at least once a

month. Clean the condensate channel and

drain hole in the refrigerator section 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.

Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

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

Before cleaning

Switch the appliance off by pressing both On/Off switches, switch off at the socket and remove the plug.

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

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

^ 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 980 13530, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

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

Cleaning the ice cube tray

The ice cubes are formed in a tray before they are dropped down into the drawer.

This tray should be cleaned regularly to remove any stale ice or water.

Connect the appliance to the

electricity supply. Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker. The indicator light will come on.

If the ice cube maker has not been used for a while, it is important to clean the ice cube tray before using it again.

^ Push the ice cube drawer in as far as

it will go within the next 60 seconds.

The ice cube tray will then rotate into an angled position which makes it easier for cleaning:

Wait until the ice cube tray has completed this rotation before continuing.

Ventilation grilles

The ventilation grilles 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 grease or oil on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.

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

Cleaning and care

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.

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

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
