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.
which is very environment friendly.
Although it is flammable, it does not
damage the ozone layer and does not
increase 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
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
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.
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.
This appliance contains the coolant

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
risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in
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 tested 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 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).
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
assessment of the installation being
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.
7
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
its nutritional value and goes off.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on
thermostats and the interior light may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof in the refrigerator
section, 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.
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.
Do not use any oils or grease on
the door seals. These cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
Do not block the ventilation gaps 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). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not
designed. 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 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 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 appliance guarantee.
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.
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 themseves in and
endangering their lives.
Before disposing of an old
appliance, unplug it and render the
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
9
Operation
Before using for the first time
Clean the inside of the appliance and
^
the accessories with luke warm water
and a little washing up liquid and
then dry using a soft cloth.
Important: To ensure correct
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 section and the freezer
section are switched on independently
of one another so that if required only
the one section needs to be switched
on.
Refrigerator section
Freezer section
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for
^
the freezer section in a clockwise
direction away from the "0" position.
The alarm indicator light flashes. An
alarm sounds after a short while and
the appliance starts cooling.
Allow the freezer to run for a few hours
before placing food in it. This will
ensure that the temperature in the
freezer is sufficiently low.
Switching off the alarm
^ Press the alarm button.
The alarm stops. The indicator light
remains lit until the freezer temperature
which has been set is reached.
^
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for
the refrigerator section in a clockwise
direction away from the "0" position.
Forcing it beyond its range would
damage it. Turn it only as far as it will
go, then turn it back again.
The indicator light for the refrigerator
section will come on. The appliance
starts cooling. The interior light will
come on if the door is opened.
10
Ice pack
(depending on model)
Place the ice pack in the top drawer or
to save space on the freezer tray. The
ice pack will be at its most effective
after it has been in the freezer for
approx. 24 hours.
Switching off
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in an
^
anti-clockwise direction back to the
"0" position.
The temperature display goes out. The
cooling process is switched off.
Switching off for longer
periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday
^ switch the appliance off at the mains,
^ withdraw the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
^ defrost the freezer section,
^ clean the appliance out and
^ leave the doors ajar to air the
appliance.
Operation
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned out and the doors are left
shut there is a danger of mould and
odours building up inside the
appliance.
11
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 wa
ter and then place the glass in the
middle of the refrigerator section.
After about 24 hours, the thermometer
will show the approximate temperature
in the refrigerator.

The correct temperature
Temperature selection
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and for the freezer section are
set independently from one another.
Use a coin to turn the temperature
^
dial clockwise to the required setting.
Turn it only as far as it will go, then
turn it back again. Turning it beyond
its range would damage it.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
In normal use, a setting between 2 and
3 is generally sufficient. You should also
check the temperature inside the
appliance from time to time.
display to show the accurate
temperature of the freezer. If the
temperature displayed is too low or too
high, then adjust the temperature once
more.
A temperature above -18 °C is no
cause for concern in the following
circumstances:
when the appliance has just been
–
switched on,
when the door has been left open for
–
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
– when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature remains
above -18 °C for a long time, check that
the frozen food has not started to
defrost. If this is the case, check that
the food is safe to use and if it is, then
use it as soon as possible.
Freezer section temperature
display
During normal operation the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
warmest part of the freezer section.
Ranges of temperatures rather than
individual temperatures are shown. This
means that the temperatures displayed
are approximate.
If you have adjusted the temperature
selector in order to set a different
temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours
if the freezer is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the freezer is full
before checking the temperature
display, as it will take this long for the
13
Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer cannot rise
unnoticed. It is always active. An alarm
will sound and the alarm indicator light
will flash if the temperature becomes
too warm. The setting on the
temperature control determines the
temperature the appliance recognises
as too warm.
The alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light comes on,
when the freezer is first switched on.
–
when the door of the appliance has
–
been left open for a while, e.g. in
order to load, to re-arrange or to take
out food.
– when freezing a large quantity of
food.
– when there has been a lengthy
interruption to the power supply.
Switching the alarm tone off
early
The alarm stops and the indicator light
goes out once the set temperature
range has been reached. However, if
the noise disturbs you, you can turn the
alarm tone off before this if you wish.
Press the alarm button.
^
The alarm stops, but the alarm
indicator light remains lit. It does not
go out until the set temperature
range has been reached.

Super freeze and dynamic cooling
Super freeze
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells which
then shrink.
During the defrosting process only
some of this water is reabsorbed by the
cells. The rest collects around the food.
In practice this means that the food
loses a large degree of its moisture.
If food is frozen quickly the cells have
less time to lose moisture so they shrink
less. As there is not so much moisture it
is easier for the food to reabsorb it
during the defrosting process.
Super freeze 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.
Press the super freeze button. The
^
super freeze indicator light will come
on.
The appliance works at full power to
lower the temperature in the
appliance.
Switching super freeze off
The super freeze function will switch off
automatically after approx. 50 hours.
The Super freeze indicator light will go
out and the appliance will continue to
operate at normal power.
To save energy the super freeze
function can be switched off once a
constant temperature of at least -18 °C
has been reached in the freezer
section.

Super freeze and dynamic cooling
Dynamic cooling
With dynamic cooling the temperature
inside the refrigerator section is
distributed to all areas more evenly. All
food stored in the refrigerator section
will be chilled to about the same
degree. The temperature is controlled
as normal with the temperature dial.
Dynamic cooling should be selected
when:
the ambient temperature in the room
–
is high (above approx. 30 °C) and
the room humidity level is high.
–
Switching on dynamic cooling
^ Press the dynamic cooling button
above the fan m.
The fan will start turning.
Switching off dynamic cooling
When dynamic cooling is switched on
the appliance uses more energy. It
should therefore be switched off when
the room temperature is normal (below
30 °C) and when humidity levels are
normal.
^
Turn the dynamic cooling dial to the
"0" position.
The fan will come to a halt.
16
Storing food
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.
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,
Important
Not all fruit and vegetables should be
–
stored together in the same container
as they give off natural gases which
affect the perishability of other foods.
(See "Chilling and storing food").
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.
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
–
pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a minimum
temperature of 4 °C.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is in the top section
of the refrigerator door. Use this for
storing butter and cheese.
17
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
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.
18
Chilling and storing food
Important notes:
Use the different cooling zones for
storing food correctly. See the
section on loading examples.
Food must not touch the back wall of
–
the appliance. Otherwise it may
freeze to the back wall.
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.
– Hot food and drinks must be cooled
to room temperature before placing
them in the appliance.
– Store food covered or packaged.
This will prevent food smells or tastes
from affecting other foods and
prevent food from drying out. It will
also prevent any cross contamination
of bacteria.
Fruit and vegetables may, however,
be stored loose in the vegetable
containers.
–
Do not store groceries too close to
each other. Space should be left
between individual items for air to
circulate.
–
Do not keep the door open for too
long when putting food in and taking
it out of the appliance. This will help
save energy.
–
The growth of bacteria, such as
salmonella, can be avoided by
setting the correct temperature and
maintaining good standards of
hygiene.
Food which should not be stored in a
refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
These include:
Fruit and vegetables such as
–
bananas, avocado pears, papaya,
passion fruit, aubergines
Fruit which is not yet ripe
–
Potatoes
–
– Some hard cheeses
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, passion fruit, apricots, pears,
nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado
pears, papayas 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,
bananas, avocado pears, pears,
nectarines and peaches.
19
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
temperaure 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.
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.
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.
20
–
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
^ Freeze food in portions.
Suitable packing material
- plastic freezer film
- freezer bags
- aluminium foil
- freezer containers
Freezing and storing food
Make a note of the contents and the
^
date of freezing on the packaging.
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh
food, switch on the super freeze
function for some time before placing
the food in the freezer (see "Super
freeze").
Placing food in the freezer
Fresh food can be placed in any
drawer for freezing, however it is
preferable 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.
Each drawer and evaporator plate
can be loaded with a maximum of
25 kg.
Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.
^
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.
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
- cellophane
- bin bags
- plastic carrier bags
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the evaporator
plates so that it freezes through to the
core as quickly as possible.
^
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.
21
Freezing and storing food
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored for
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.
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.
^
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.
22
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.
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.
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.
Cooling drinks
When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.
23
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 cool pack in the upper
drawer directly on top of food or to save
space on the freezer tray. The cool
pack will be at its most effective after it
has been in the freezer for approx. 24
hours.
If there is a power cut lay 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.
24
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 never blocked so
that the condensate can flow away
without hinderance.
Freezer section
The freezer section does not defrost
automatically because frozen food must
not be allowed to defrost.
In normal use, and as a result of
opening the freezer door, ice and frost
will form on the evaporator plates. If
allowed to accumulate, this will impair
the efficiency of the freezer and
increase the consumption of electricity.
Do not scrape ice and frost off the
evaporator plates as this can
damage the evaporator plates and
the freezer making it unusable.
The freezer section should be defrosted
from time to time. It must be defrosted if
a layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^
Switch on the super freeze function at
least 4 hours before defrosting to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve 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
layers of newspaper or cloths and
store in a cool place on top of freezer
packs until the freezer is ready for
use again.
^
Take all freezer drawers out of the
freezer.
25
Defrosting
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
Switch the freezer section off by
^
turning the on/off dial to the "0"
position.
Open the freezer section door.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up
^
water from defrosting.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot
water (not boiling) can be placed in the
appliance. Closing the door in this
instance will help retain the warmth and
speed up the defrosting process.
We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your freezer.
After defrosting
Clean the freezer section and then
^
dry it thoroughly.
Close the door and then switch the
^
freezer section on.
Press the super freeze button so that
^
the freezer section gets cold quickly.
The indicator light will come on.
Once the temperature in the freezer
^
has reached the required
temperature place the food back in
the freezer drawers and place them
back in the in the freezer.
^ The super freeze function can be
switched off once a constant
temperature of at least -18 °C has
been reached in the freezer. The
super freeze indicator light will go
out.
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.
26
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.
Cleaning and care
Before cleaning
Switch the appliance off by turning
^
the On/Off dials to the "0" position.
Take any food out of the appliance
^
and store it in a cool place.
Take out any removable parts e.g.
^
shelves for cleaning.
Door fronts should be cleaned using
a solution of warm water with mild
detergent applied with a soft cloth or
with a suitable cleaning agent for the
type of door panel fitted.
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the light.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Never use steam cleaning
apparatus to defrost or clean the
appliance. The steam could attack
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.
Cleaning the interior and
accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little mild
detergent. Accessories and shelves
should all be hand washed. The butter
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.
^
Wipe the interior and accessories
with a damp cloth and dry with a soft
cloth. Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
E-Cloth
^
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.
27
Cleaning and care
Ventilation gaps
The ventilation gaps should be
^
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the 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 door, and switch
the appliance on.
Switch on the super freeze function
^
so that the freezer section can cool
down quickly. The super freeze
indicator light will come on.
Once the temperature in the freezer
^
has reached the required
temperature place the food back in
the freezer drawers and place them
back in the freezer section.
^ The super freeze function can be
switched off once a constant
temperature of at least -18º C has
been reached in the freezer. The
indicator light will go out.

This appliance must be built in,
otherwise it could tip up.
Location
The appliance should be installed in a
dry well ventilated room.
The room temperature should not go
above or below the climate range for
which the appliance is designed. The
higher the ambient temperature of the
room the more energy the appliance
requires to operate. It should not be
installed where it is exposed to direct
sunlight or directly adjacent to a
heat-producing appliance such as an
oven or a radiator.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for a
particular climate range (ambient room
temperature), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
this appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installation
Ventilation
Air at the rear 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
ensure that air can circulate without
hinderance. Otherwise the appliance
has to work too hard resulting in an
increase in electricity consumption and
damage to the compressor.
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.

Changing the door hinging
Before building the appliance in decide
on the door hinging. If left hand door
hinging is required follow these
instructions.
Open the upper door of the
^
appliance a little, and push it
upwards and outwards a little
together with hinge plate c. Then lift
the appliance door upwards and off.
^
Pull covers a and b off.

Open out fixing bracket f and
unscrew it. It is used later on the
other side for securing the appliance
into the housing niche.
^
Use a pointed instrument to take off
cover e.
^
Half unscrew the outer screw d and
completely unscrew the inner screw
on hinge plate c. This will make the
appliance door easier to take off.
^
Pull hinge plate a and hinge pin b
out of the appliance door, turn hinge
plate a around, and refit everything
on the other side of the appliance
door. Do not forget to use washer c.

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

Prepare the appliance
^ Fit cover strip a into position, so that
it is flush with the door opening side.
^ Shorten the sealing strip to the height
of the niche. Stick the sealing strip to
the side of the appliance on the door
opening side.
Before installing the appliance the
housing unit must be carefully aligned
using a spirit level. The unit corners
must be at right angles, as otherwise
the furniture door will not align correctly
with the 4 corners of the appliance.
Align the furniture door with the hinges.

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 c
screws and the smaller spacer
sleeves d, and
on 16 mm thick housing unit walls
by using the longer 5 x 80 mm c
screws 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.
Screw fixing bracket e back on (if

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.
^
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 in to the door
coupling parts.
41
Building in the appliance
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.
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.
