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.

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!

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.

Disposal of your old appliance

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

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.

Please dispose of your old appliance at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and not with your household waste.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak out into the environment.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, read the instructions carefully before installation and before using for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.

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

Correct use

This appliance is intended for

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

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play on or near it, or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

This appliance contains the coolant

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, but does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can be harmful to 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 coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For 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 corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, 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 instructions.

Installation work, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance work has been carried out.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it has been switched off at the wall

socket and the plug has been

withdrawn. – 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).

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not refreeze thawed or partially

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

Do not store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard. Flammable compounds could explode.

Do not use any electrical

equipment in this appliance, e.g. ice cream makers. Danger of sparking and explosion!

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 section. 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. This could result in injury or damage.

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 might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a 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 block the ventilation gap in

the plinth or the top of the appliance housing unit 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 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.

Do not 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 surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Disposal of your old appliance

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.

Disconnect it from the mains. Cut

off the cable and render any plug unusable.

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.

How to save energy

Normal energy consumption

Defrosting Defrost the freezer when a layer of

ice one centimetre thick has built up.

Increased energy consumption

A layer of ice hinders the cold from reaching the frozen food, and causes an increase in energy consumption.

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

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 the correct functioning of the appliance, let it stand for between 1½ and 2 hour after transporting it to its final location before connecting it to the mains.

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 sounds.

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

De-activating the safety lock

Repeat the same procedure as for activating the lock given above.

The refrigerator section temperature display lights up. The refrigerator section / StayFresh zone starts cooling. The interior light will come on when the door is opened.

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,

switch off at the wall socket and

withdraw the plug, 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.

Switching on and off

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 freezer section

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature colder than -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above

-10 °C, the micro-organisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.

Temperature selection in the refrigerator / freezer section

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

-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 temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high, the

upper button: to raise the temperature lower button: to reduce the

temperature.

The correct temperature

The temperature is adjustable in steps from -5 to +5 and is displayed in the freezer section temperature display. Each step represents a change in temperature of approx. 0.5 to 1 °C. If there is a "-" in front of the figure, the temperature has been lowered by this amount.

Press the alarm button briefly to

come out of the setting mode. The new temperature is now stored in the appliance’s memory.

If you do not press any buttons whilst in setting mode, the appliance will automatically return to normal operation after approx. 5 minutes

Temperature displays

During normal operation the temperature displays on the control panel 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 (between 0 °C and 19 °C in the refrigerator section and below 0 °C in the freezer section), only bars will light up in the temperature displays.

The temperature displays flash, if –

a different temperature is being set,

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 in the

freezer section remains above -18 °C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started to defrost. 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.

You can adjust the level of brightness: –

Brighter: by pressing the alarm

button, and whilst holding it in, press

the upper button next to the freezer

section temperature display. –

Dimmer: by pressing the alarm

button, and whilst holding it in, press

the lower button next to the freezer

section temperature display.

–

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

Alarm

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open.

Temperature alarm

An alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash if the temperature in the freezer section becomes warm. 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 also flash:

– when the freezer is switched on. – if 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.

– when freezing large amounts of food

at once.

–

if there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.

Switching on the alarm system

The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.

Switching the alarm off early

Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer section, the alarm switches off and the temperature display stops flashing and lights up constantly. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can turn the alarm off before this if you wish.

^ Press the alarm button.

The alarm will stop. The temperature display will continue to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The display then stops flashing and lights up constantly. The alarm system is now ready should it be needed again.

Door alarm

The alarm will sound if the refrigerator section door or the freezer section door is left open for longer than approx. 60 seconds.

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, and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.

Super cool and Super freeze

Super freeze

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

Exceptions:

when putting in food that is already

–

frozen. 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 6 hours

beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food the Super

freeze function should be switched on

24 hours beforehand.

Switching off Super freeze

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.

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

Press the Super freeze button. The

Super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.

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.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in 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 propellants (e.g. spray cans). Danger of explosion.

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

Warmest area

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

Coldest area

The coldest area in a refrigerator is normally directly above the vegetable containers. In this appliance, however, the coldest area is in the StayFresh zone.

Use the coldest areas in the refrigerator section and in the StayFresh zone 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,

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, as it may freeze to the back wall.

StayFresh zone

A temperature of between 0 - 3 °C combined with a high humidity level provides the optimum storage conditions for fresh food, enabling it to be kept fresher for longer than in a refrigerator. The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh. Bear this in mind when shopping.

The temperature in the StayFresh zone is automatically held at approx. 0 °C.

–

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

Using the refrigerator section efficiently

The StayFresh zone is divided into two areas:

The dry compartment has a relative

–

humidity level of approx. 45 %. The humidity controlled

–

compartment has a control for setting the humidity level between 45 % and 90 %. Slide the control to the humidity level you require.

The humidity level will also be affected by the moisture content of the food being stored and how often the compartment is opened.

Low humidity level ,

^ To set a humidity level of approx.

45 % slide the control for the humidity controlled compartment over to the left ,.

This humidity level is suitable for storing particularly delicate food such as fresh fish, shell fish, meat, poultry, sausage, dairy products and salads.

Keep food covered or packaged in this compartment with the exception of meat.

High humidity level -

To set a humidity level of approx.

90 % slide the control for the humidity controlled compartment over to the right -.

This humidity level is suitable for storing fresh produce such as vegetables, salad, herbs, and seasonal fruit.

Store these types of food uncovered in the compartment.

Take food out of the StayFresh zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.

Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator. 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 –

Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

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 and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. 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.

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

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

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.

Different types of unpacked meats and vegetables must be kept separate.

To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped.

Protein rich foods

Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shell fish for example deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

Meat

Store meat in suitable containers, but uncovered in the low humidity compartment. (Undo wrappings and leave containers open). The surface of the meat will dry out slightly and protect it from bacterial growth thus increasing its storage qualities. To prevent the risk of bacterial contamination keep meat stored in suitable containers and do not let different types of meat come into direct contact with each other.

Take food out of the StayFresh zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Moving the shelves

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

Pull the shelf forward as far as it will

go; then lift it upwards to remove it. 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

(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.

StayFresh zone compartments

^ When loading and unloading items,

pull the compartment right out by taking hold of it at the back and lifting it up to remove it.

To put it back in, pull the runners a right out and place the compartment on top of the runners. The front of

the runners must be right up against the front of the compartment b. Push the

compartment back in c.

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 good condition.

Hints on home freezing

The following types of food are

–

suitable for freezing:

Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,

vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy

products, pastry, leftovers, egg

yolks, egg whites and a range of

pre-cooked meals.

The following types of food are not

–

suitable for freezing:

Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour

cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their

shells, onions, whole raw apples and

pears. – To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,

vegetables should be blanched after

they have been trimmed and

washed. To blanch: bring a large

saucepan of water to the boil and

immerse the vegetables in the fast

boiling water for 2-3 minutes,

depending on the variety. Remove,

and plunge into cold water to cool

quickly. Drain and pack ready for

freezing. –

Lean meat freezes better than fatty

meat, and can be stored for

considerably longer. –

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.

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

Freezing and storing food

Make a note of the contents and the

date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the freezer section

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 section

Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer section.

^ Freeze food in portions.

Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin bags

- plastic carrier bags

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

- aluminium foil

- freezer containers

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.

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

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. If you remove the top drawer make sure that you do not block the ventilation slits in the back wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance.

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

Freezing and storing food

Make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.

Freezer calendar

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

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.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:

in a microwave oven,

–

in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost"

–

setting,

at room temperature,

– – in a refrigerator, – in a steam oven. Poultry It is particularly important to

observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning!

Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packing, or in a covered bowl.

Slide the markers onto the guide runners on the edge of the drawers.

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.

Freezing and storing food

Cooling drinks

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

Ice cubes

(with or without release button depending on model)

^ Press down the release button on the

ice cube tray and fill the tray with water. 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 twisting the tray gently or by holding it under cold running water for a short while.

Freezer tray

The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries and vegetables. 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.

Freezing and storing food

Cool pack

(depending on model) The cool 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 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 and StayFresh zone

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the StayFresh zone whilst 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 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. Food stored in the freezer will not defrost in the freezer.

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.

Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the light.

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

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

Cleaning the interior and accessories

Use warm water with a little washing up liquid. Accessories and shelves should all be hand-washed. The butter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.

Clean the refrigerator section and the

StayFresh zone at least once a month.

Clean the condensate channel and

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

^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and

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

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 the Master switch on the right hand side of the control panel, switch off at the wall 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.

E-Cloth

^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available

from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

Ventilation gaps

The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

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.

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories

in the refrigerator section and the StayFresh zone.

^ Place food back in the refrigerator

section and StayFresh zone, close the doors, and switch the appliance on.

^ Switch on the Super freeze function

so that the freezer section can cool down quickly. The indicator light will come on.

Cleaning and care

Once the temperature in the freezer section is cold enough place the food back in the freezer drawers and place them back in the freezer section.

Switch off Super freeze by pressing the super freeze button when the temperature in the freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder. The indicator light will go out.

Ventilation

Air at the back of the appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation. Miele kitchen units are designed to provide this ventilation.

A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate. The air inlet to the appliance is via the plinth in the housing unit. The cross-section of the air inlet and outlet must be at least 200 cm

to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance. Otherwise the appliance has to work harder, resulting in an increase in electricity consumption.

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

Before installation

Before installation, remove the sealing strip etc. from the outside of the appliance and take any accessories out of the inside of the appliance.

Remove any cable clips from the rear of the appliance.

Check that all parts at the back of the appliance are unhindered. Remove any hindrance.

Remove hinge pin d, tilt the lower appliance door and take it off.

Use a screwdriver to remove plug j.

Replace the lower hinge pin i together with its washer h on the other side.

Take cover cap k off fixing bracket

l and unscrew it. It is used later on the other side for securing the appliance into the housing niche.

Unscrew hinge plate e, rotate it

180°, and fit it onto the opposite side: Screw the outside screw f in only half way on the opposite side. Then put the hinge plate on it and push it inwards. Then secure using the inner screw.

^ Place the lower appliance door on

the bottom hinge pin i, and close the appliance door.

^ Then place the top hinge pin d in

position.

Completely unscrew outer screw m at the top, and half screw it in to the opposite side.

Changing the door hinging

^ Fit the upper appliance door onto

hinge pin a, then hang the hinge plate on the previously fitted screw b, push it inwards, and secure using the second screw c.

Make sure that both appliance doors are correctly aligned and adjust if necessary. Then tighten all screws in the hinge plates.

Fit all covers and plugs.

All building in instructions given are for a right hand hinged appliance. If you have converted the appliance to left hand hinging you will need to adapt these instructions accordingly.

Aligning the housing unit

Preparing the appliance

Fit cover strip a into position, so that

it is flush with the door opening side, and secure in place using 2 screws b.

Before installing the appliance, the housing unit must be carefully aligned using a spirit level. The unit corners must be at right angles. Align the furniture doors with the hinges.

Shorten the sealing strip to the height of the niche.

Building in the appliance

Push the appliance into the niche.

Make sure that the mains cable does not get trapped.

Building in the appliance

A gap of 43 mm must be maintained between the appliance and the housing unit on the hinge side. (Marked X on the drawing)

Screw fixing bracket a back on (if this has not already been done).

Push the appliance up against the housing on the door opening side (A).

Then push the appliance into the niche until the front edge of the hinge plates are flush with the housing unit floor (B), and the front edge of the opened fixing bracket a is flush with the housing unit.

Secure the appliance on the hinge side to the housing unit at the top and in the middle on 19 mm thick housing unit walls by using the shorter 5 x 75 mm screws c and the smaller spacer sleeves d, and on 16 mm thick housing unit walls by using the longer 5 x 80 mm screws c and the longer spacer sleeves d.

Building in the appliance

Secure the appliance in the housing

unit using the short 4 x 14 mm screws b through the bottom hinge plates and then tighten them up.

Close the fixing bracket a back up

again and fit cover g. Align cover strip h by sliding it

parallel to the housing unit ceiling. The cover strip must not protude.

Remove cover g, and unscrew hinge bracket e (if this has not already been done).

Press the sealing strip in between the appliance and the housing unit wall on the door opening side to cover the gap.

Screw fixing bracket e back on.

Secure the appliance to the housing unit wall on the door opening side using two 4 x 14 mm screws through the upper fixing bracket a and one 4 x 14 mm screw f through fixing bracket e and then tighten them.

Fixing the panel in position

Building in the appliance

Align the door couplings so that

when closed the handle side of the furniture door does not touch the housing unit wall. A minimum distance of 1 mm must be maintained.

Plug any holes left in the appliance

door with the enclosed stoppers e.

^ Fit the door coupling parts a to the

appliance door at handle height using the 3.9 x 9.5 mm b self tapping screws (on a larger door an extra door coupling should be fitted). Use the pre-drilled holes.

Open the doors right out and push the coupling guides c into the door coupling parts.

Using the 4 x 14 mm screws d fit the coupling guides to the furniture door. Ensure that the distance marked d (= thickness of housing unit wall + 3 mm) to the outer edge of the furniture door is maintained.

Make sure that the coupling guides are at approx. 90° to the front edge of the door.
