Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Caring for the environment
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collection centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not damaged whilst moving an old appliance.
This is to ensure that the refrigerant
and oil in the compressor cannot leak
into the environment. It is important that
they are disposed of in a safe manner
by authorised persons only.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the

instructions carefully. They contain
important notes on safety, the operation and care of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only for the cool storage of food as well as for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and preparing
ice.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage caused
by improper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
gas 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 cooling 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 Dept.
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 Isobutane (R600a), a natural

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 risk of damage to the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible 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.
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 be a suitably qualified engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent persons.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held responsible.
Ensure 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).
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. 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 frostburn to the lips or
tongue.
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.
7
Warning and safety instructions
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 per-
centage proof in the cool zone,
make sure it is tightly closed and
stored upright.
Danger of explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles con-
taining carbonated drinks or
liquids which could freeze in the
freezer 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. 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.
Otherwise the evaporator will be damaged and the appliance will not be able
to be used again (total damage).
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 grease or oil on the
door seals. These cause the seals
to become porous in the course of 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.
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 steam cleaning ap-
paratus to defrost or clean the appliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Warning and safety instructions
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.
Disposal of old appliances
Before disposing of an old ap-
pliance 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 ap-
pliance, unplug it and render the
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these safety
instructions.
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.

Operation
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
Freezer section
Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for
the freezer section in a clockwise direction away from the “0" position.
10
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 ap-
pliance.
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.
Operation
11
The correct temperature
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
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. Partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has
been cooked as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro organisms.
Temperature selection
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and for the freezer section are
set independently from one another.
They have separate temperature dials.
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of
5 °C in the middle of the refrigerator
section.
12
Using a coin turn the temperature
dial in a clockwise direction to the required setting.
Forcing it beyond its range would
damage it. Turn it only as far as it
will go, then turn it back again.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
Temperature display, freezer
section
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 freezer section
temperature dial 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 tem-
perature display as it will take this long
for the 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.
The correct temperature
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. Check that it is safe to use
and if it is, then use it as soon as
possible.
13
Alarm
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 machines recognises as too warm.
The alarm sounds and the alarm indicator light comes on,
– when the freezer is first switched on.
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.
– 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 inter-
ruption to the power supply.
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 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 be-
forehand. 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 con-
stant temperature of at least -18 °C
has been reached in the freezer section.
To switch it off press the super freeze
button. The super freeze indicator
light will go out and the appliance
will continue to operate at normal
power.
15
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 in the refrigerator section
Storing food in the refrigerator section
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.
Loading examples
When placing food in the appliance
load the top shelves first and work
your way down to the bottom starting
with baked goods, pre-cooked foods
and milk products and finishing with
meats, fish and sausages.
The coldest zones are against the
back wall and above the vegetable containers. Use the area above the vegetable containers for perishable foods
such as meat, sausage, fish etc.
The warmest zone is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Use the vegetable containers for
storing vegetables, salad and fruit.
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 section "Chilling
and storing food").
Fill the door shelves from the top to
the bottom.
Start with butter, cheese, small tins,
bottles and tubes in the upper
shelves, followed by large bottles,
juice containers and milk in the bottom shelves.
Do not store cooking oil in the appliance door.
Traces of oil can cause stress
cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.
Use the freezer section for the storage of frozen food, ice cubes and
ice-cream.

Push the door shelf upwards then
remove it by pulling it forwards.
Pull the shelves forward as far as
they will go then lift them upwards to
remove them.
With the rear barrier facing upwards
place the shelf at the required posi-
tion.
The rear barrier must face upwards
to prevent food from touching the
back of the appliance and freezing
to it.
Split shelf
(depending on model)
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be taken
out to allow space for tall items standing on the shelf below.
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.

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 con-
taining combustible gas (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
– If storing alcohol with a high percent-
age 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 way you will prevent food smells
or tastes from affecting other foods
and prevent food from drying out.
Fruit and vegetables may, however,
be stored loose in the vegetable con-
tainers.
– Do not store groceries too close to
each other. Space should be left be-
tween individual items for air to circu-
late.
– 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.
Chilling and storing food
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 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, 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.

Freezing and storing food
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 ca-
pacity ..../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 re-
duced if it has been stored at a temperaure warmer than -18 °C.
Buy frozen food once you have fin-
ished the rest of your shopping and
wrap it in newspaper or use a cool
bag or box to transport it.
Store it in the freezer as soon as
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 suit-
able for freezing :
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks,
egg whites and a range of precooked 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.
20
Freezing and storing food
– Do not season fresh foods or blan-
ched vegetables before freezing.
Only season cooked food lightly be-
fore freezing but care should be
taken as the taste of some spices al-
ters when frozen.
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw and increases
the energy consumption consider-
ably. Allow hot foods and drinks to
cool down before placing them in
the freezer.
Packing
Freeze food in portions.
Suitable packing material
– plastic freezer film
– freezer bags
– freezer containers
– aluminium foil
Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.
Expel as much air as possible from
bags etc. before sealing them to pre-
vent freezer burn on food.
Close the packaging tightly with
– rubber bands
– plastic clips
– string or bag ties
– cold resistant adhesive tape.
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
unsuitable packing material
– wrapping paper
– grease-proof paper
– cellophane
– dustbin liners
– plastic carrier bags
Placing 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.
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.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
21
Freezing and storing food
Marker system for frozen food
Markers serve as a reminder of how
long food has been stored.
Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials. The months are represented on the dials as 1 – 12.
Slide the markers onto the guide run-
ners on the edge of the drawers.
Use the markers to indicate the type of
food being frozen and turn the dials to
the appropriate number to indicate the
month the food was first placed in the
freezer.
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:
– in the microwave oven,
– in the oven at the "Fan" or "Defrost"
setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the fridge.
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.
Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands.
Warning
Never re-freeze partially of fully 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.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
water and place it on the bottom of one
of the freezer drawers.
Once frozen, if necessary 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 if it is held under cold running
water for a short while.
Ice cream
Ice cream can be made in an ice tray
without the cube divider. The freezing
time depends on the fat content of the
recipe and takes longer than water ice
or sorbet.
To remove ice cream from the tray,
place the tray in water for a few
minutes.
22
Freezing and storing food
Cooling drinks
When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.
Freezer tray
The freezer tray can be used for freezing soft fruit, herbs, small items etc.
The tray allows you to space out the
food so that it does not stick together
and keeps its shape.
Place the food on the tray.
Hang the tray in one of the upper
freezer drawers.
Ice pack
(Depending on model)
The ice pack prevents the temperature
in the freezer rising too quickly in the
event of a power cut.
Place the ice pack in the upper drawer
directly on top of food or to save space
on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be
at its most effective after it has been in
the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
If there is a power cut lay the ice pack
directly on top of the frozen food in the
upper drawer so that the food will be
kept cold for the longest time possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the ice pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.
The ice pack can also be used in a
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for
a short period of time.
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.
23
Defrosting
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.
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.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are never blocked so
that the condensate can flow away
without hinderance.
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.
24
Take all freezer drawers out of the
freezer.
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 turn-
ing 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 -18º 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 deicers 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.
25
Cleaning and care
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 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.
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.
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.
26
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 indi-
cator light will come on.
Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required tempera-
ture place the food back in the
freezer drawers and place them
back in the freezer section.
The super freeze function can be
switched off once a constant tem-
perature of at least -18º C has been
reached in the freezer. The indicator
light will go out.

Problem solving guide
Problem solving guide
Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous.
The following faults can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
Make sure that the temperature dials
are not pointing to the “0" position.
Check that the plug is correctly inserted in the socket.
Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has contact the Miele Service Department.
What to do if . . .
. . . strange noises can be heard after
switching on the appliance, especially after it has just been installed.
Check to see whether any pieces of
furniture next to the appliance are vi-
brating whilst the appliance is in
operation.
Switch the appliance off then:
Check whether the appliance is
aligned correctly.
Check whether all parts at the rear of
the appliance are free from hinde-
rance. Remove any hinderance.
Check whether the cable clips were
unclipped from the back of the ap-
pliance before installation. They
could vibrate when the appliance is
operating.
Are all removable parts securely lo-
cated in the appliance?
Are bottles or containers touching
each other?
Remember that the noise of the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
28
. . . the door to the freezer section
will not open because it has been opened and closed too many times in
succession.
This is not a fault. The suction
caused by opening and closing the
door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait a few minutes and
then try again. It should now open
without force.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer section is too low.
Turn the temperature dial to a setting
closer to “0".
The super freeze function has not
been switched off. The indicator light
is still on.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
Check whether ventilation gaps in
the plinth and in the housing unit at
the top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
The doors have been opened too frequently, or a large quantity of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
Problem solving guide
Check that the doors have been
properly closed.
Check whether a thick layer of ice
has built up in the freezer section. If
it has then the freezer section will
need defrosting.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper to carefully
prise it apart.
. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
freezer section.
Check whether the door to the
freezer section closes properly.
Defrost and then clean the freezer
section.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces effi-
ciency and increases energy consumption.
. . . the alarm indicator light flashes at
the same time as the -15 °C or -18 °C
Temperature display.
There is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the refrigerator section indicator
light is not lit up.
Check to see whether the super freeze
indicator light comes on when the
super freeze button is pressed.
If it does, then the refrigerator section indicator light is defective. Call
the Miele Service Department.
If the super freeze light does not
come on either, then check whether
– the plug is correctly inserted in the
socket.
– the mains fuse has blown. If it has
there is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light flashes.
The freezer section temperature has
risen above the setting on the temperature dial because
the door has been opened too fre-
quently or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in for freezing.
the temperature dial has been
turned to a higher setting, but the
machine has not yet reached the re-
quired temperature.
the ventilation gaps are blocked.
Once the problem has been resolved
the alarm indicator light will go out and
the alarm goes off.
. . . the super freeze indicator light
does not light up although the appliance is working.
The indicator light is defective. Call the
Miele Service Department.
29
Problem solving guide
. . . the interior light in the refrigerator section does not work.
Has the door been left open for too
long? The light automatically goes
out if the door has been left open for
approx. 15 minutes.
If this is not the case then the bulb may
be defective and need replacing:
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and with-
draw the plug from the socket (pull
by the plug not the cable), or discon-
nect the mains fuse or remove the
screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.
. . . the floor of the refrigerator section is wet.
The drain hole has become blocked.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole.
If you still cannot remedy the fault
having followed these suggestions,
then contact the Miele Service Department.
To prevent unecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open
the doors whilst waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Press the sides of the lamp cover in-
wards, disengage the cover and un-
clip it at the rear.
