Caring for the environment

Disposing of packaging materials

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transport. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. You can return the packaging to your Miele dealer.

Disposing of your old appliance

Old electrical and electronic equipment often still contain valuable materials. However, they may also include harmful substances that were essential for proper functioning and safe use. Improperly disposing of these items in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance in your regular household waste.

Instead, please dispose of your old appliance at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance before or during transport to an authorized collection depot. By doing so, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained and will not leak into the environment.

Please ensure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children while being stored prior to disposal. See "Warning and safety instructions" for more information.

Warning and safety Instructions

Proper use

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate class

(room temperature range) and should not be used outside this range. The climate class for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Operation in a room where the ambient temperature is too low will cause the compressor to switch off for longer periods so that the appliance cannot maintain the required temperature.

WARNING! Danger of damage from overheating. May restrict

operation. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

If storing fatty or greasy foods in the appliance or the appliance

door, make sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance. This can cause the plastic to crack and break.

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products

containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Flammable gas mixtures can be ignited by electrical components. Danger of fire and explosion!

Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice

cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion!

Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or

liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance!

Warning and safety Instructions

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are

not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury and damage.

Do not handle frozen food or metal parts of the appliance with

wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or to the metal. Danger of frost burn!

Do not place ice cubes or popsicles, especially ice pops, in your

mouth directly after removing them from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or popsicles can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Danger of injury!

Do not refreeze thawed or partially thawed food. Defrosted food

should be consumed as quickly as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked.

Eating foods which have been stored for too long carries 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. Observe the manufacturer's best-before dates and storage instructions!

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts.

Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will void the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability for damage caused by the use of such parts.

Warning and safety Instructions

Stainless steel appliances

Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape

or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door. These will damage the surface coating, causing it to lose its resistance to dirt and grime.

The high-quality surface coating on the door is susceptible to

scratching. Even refrigerator magnets can cause scratching.

Cleaning and care

Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.

They will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean or defrost this appliance.

Steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects to:

– Remove frost or ice, or

– Detach food items frozen to the walls.

This will damage the evaporator, causing the appliance to no longer function properly.

Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to

defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

When ventilation openings are blocked and full of dust.

When dust has accumulated on the compressor and metal coils (heat exchanger).

With a high temperature setting: The lower the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.

How to save energy

Normal energy consumption

Use Drawers and shelves arranged

as they were when the appliance was first delivered.

Only open the doors when necessary and do so as briefly as possible.

Store food in an organized way.

Take a cooler bag when shopping and place food in the appliance as quickly as possible on your return home.

Replace items removed from the appliance as soon as possible before they become warm.

Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the appliance.

Increased energy consumption

Frequent opening of the door for long periods will cause a loss of coldness. The appliance works harder to cool down and the compressor runs for longer periods.

Hot food or food at room temperature raises the temperature inside the appliance. The appliance works harder to cool down and the compressor runs for longer periods.

Store food covered or wrapped.

Place frozen food in the refrigerator to defrost.

Do not overfill the appliance in order to allow air to circulate.

The evaporation or condensation of liquids in the refrigerator lowers the cooling capacity.

Switching the appliance on and off

Before using for the first time

Packaging material

Remove all packaging materials from

the inside of the appliance.

Protective film

The stainless steel trim on the appliance interior has been provided with a protective film. On stainless steel appliances, the stainless steel doors, and possibly also the side walls, are also covered by a protective film.

^ Do not remove this film until the

appliance has been installed in the desired location.

Cleaning

Please be sure to follow the relevant instructions in "Cleaning and care."

^ Clean the appliance interior and the

accessories with lukewarm water, and then dry everything with a soft cloth.

Switching on the appliance

The refrigerator and freezer can be turned on simultaneously by pressing the master button on the right. This is also possible with the On button on the left side.

Press the master button on the right.

The temperature display for the refrigerator shows the set temperature. The temperature display for the freezer and the indicator light on the Alarm off button flash until the temperature in the freezer is sufficiently cold.

The appliance begins to cool, and the interior lighting in the refrigerator comes on when the door is opened.

To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer until the temperature is at least -18°C (0°F).

Switching the appliance on and off

Switching off the appliance

Press the master button on the right

until the two temperature displays are no longer illuminated.

The interior lighting goes out and the cooling is switched off.

Switching off the refrigerator separately

The refrigerator can be switched off without having to switch off the freezer. This is useful if you plan to be on

vacation, for example.

^ Press the refrigerator On/Off button

on the left until the temperature display for the refrigerator is no longer illuminated.

Switching off for longer periods of time

If you intend to not use the appliance for a longer period of time, e.g. while on vacation:

Switch the appliance off,

Unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet or trip the circuit breaker on the electrical service panel,

Clean the appliance, and

Leave the doors slightly ajar to avoid

odour buildup.

If, in the case of a lengthier absence, the appliance is switched off without being cleaned and the doors are left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours accumulating inside the appliance.

The interior lighting goes out and the refrigerator is switched off.

The temperature display for the freezer remains illuminated.

Switching the refrigerator back on again

Press the left On/Off button again.

The temperature display for the refrigerator lights up. The refrigerator starts to cool and the interior lighting comes on when the door is opened.

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Microorganisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to spoil rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these microorganisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.

The temperature in the appliance will rise:

If the door is opened frequently or

–

kept open too long.

If more food is stored in it.

–

– If food that is placed into it is too

warm.

– If the room temperature is too high.

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate class (room temperature range) and should not be used outside this range.

...intherefrigerator

...inthefreezer

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of

-18°C (0°F) is required. At this temperature the growth of microorganisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above

-10°C (14°F), the microorganisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or fully defrosted food must not be refrozen. Food may be refrozen after it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved during cooking destroy most microorganisms.

Setting the temperature

The refrigerator and freezer temperatures can be set using the respective temperature-setting buttons.

We recommend a temperature of 5°C (41°F) in the middle of the refrigerator.

Press the button for setting the temperature repeatedly until the desired temperature appears in the temperature display.

Pressing the button once causes the last temperature selected to flash.

The temperature value will then continue to increase until the highest setting is reached, at which point the value returns to the lowest setting.

The correct temperature

The newly selected temperature value will be automatically applied after a brief delay. The set refrigerator temperature will light up. The set freezer temperature will flash until the temperature has actually been reached.

The temperature can be set slightly lower within the displayed temperature intervals for the refrigerator and freezer.

This setting option is demonstrated with the aid of the following example:

The freezer temperature is between

-15°C (5°F) and -18°C (0°F), but you'd like to set it slightly lower:

^ Press the button for setting the

temperature repeatedly until -15°C (5°F) appears in the temperature display.

^ Press the same button again for

approx. 5 seconds until -18°C (0°F) appears in the temperature display.

The colder of the two temperatures in this small temperature interval has been applied.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the

desired temperature.

Possible setting values for the temperature

The temperature can be selected within the following ranges:

From 1°C (34°F) to 9°C (48°F) in the

–

refrigerator

From -15°C (5°F) to -32°C (-26°F) in

–

the freezer

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

The relevant temperature display flashes when a different temperature is being set.

The desired temperature in the freezer

temperature display also flashes

when:

–

The temperature in the freezer is not within the displayable range, or

–

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

The Alarm off indicator light

will also flash.

The correct temperature

This short-term loss of cooling is no cause for concern in the following cases:

If the appliance doors were left open

–

for a while, e.g. while loading or removing a large amount of food.

If you are freezing fresh food.

–

If the temperature in the freezer remains above -18°C (0°F) for a longer period of time, check that the frozen food has not started to thaw. If it has, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as possible.

Your appliance is equipped with a warning system which ensures that temperature increases in the freezer do not go unnoticed and also prevents energy from being wasted when a door is left open.

Switching on the alarm system

Audible alarm

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

Temperature alarm

If the freezer temperature becomes too warm, a warning signal sounds, and both the temperature display for the freezer and the Alarm off indicator light flash simultaneously. The appliance identifies a temperature as too warm based on the set temperature.

The audio and visual signals are activated, for example:

–

When too much room-temperature air enters the freezer, for example, when food is being rearranged or removed.

–

When freezing large amounts of food at the same time.

–

After a lengthy power outage.

–

If the appliance is defective.

Once the freezer has returned to the set temperature, the audible alarm signal ends, the temperature display stops flashing and the Alarm off indicator light goes out.

Door alarm

If one of the appliance doors is left open for longer than 60 seconds, the alarm signal will sound.

As soon as the door is closed, the alarm sound will stop.

Switching the alarm off early

If you are bothered by the sound of the alarm, it can be silenced.

Press the Alarm off button.

The alarm signal is silenced. Both the temperature display and the Alarm off indicator light will continue to flash until the freezer returns to the set temperature.

Using SuperFreeze and DynaCool

SuperFreeze

For the best freezing results, switch on the SuperFreeze function before putting fresh food into the freezer.

This helps food to freeze quickly, so that its nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste are maintained.

Super freeze is not necessary:

When placing food in the freezer that

–

is already frozen.

When freezing no more than 2 kg of

–

fresh food daily.

Switching on SuperFreeze

When freezing smaller quantities of food in the freezer, the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 6 hours

beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food, the

SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours ahead of time.

Switching off SuperFreeze

The SuperFreeze function switches off automatically after approx. 65 hours. The appliance will once again operate at normal cooling capacity.

To save energy, you can manually switch off the SuperFreeze function once the freezer reaches a constant temperature of -18°C (0°F) or colder.

Press the SuperFreeze button until

the indicator light goes out.

The appliance will continue running at normal cooling capacity.

Press the SuperFreeze button until the indicator light comes on.

The temperature in the appliance now begins to fall, since it is operating at maximum cooling capacity.

Using SuperFreeze and DynaCool

DynaCool m

When the Dynamic Cooling (DynaCool) function is not switched on, the natural circulation of air in the appliance will create different temperature zones in the refrigerator since the cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest region. You should bear this in mind when placing food in the refrigerator (see "Using the refrigerator efficiently"). However, when placing a large amount of food in the refrigerator at the same time (e.g. for a party), it is a good idea to switch on Dynamic Cooling. This way you can distribute the temperature inside the refrigerator to all areas more evenly so that all the food will be chilled to roughly the same extent. The temperature can still be set as usual with the temperature control.

Dynamic Cooling should also be switched on when:

Be sure that the fan slots in the back wall of the appliance are not blocked. Otherwise, an even temperature distribution can no longer be ensured.

Switching off Dynamic Cooling

Because Dynamic Cooling requires more energy, you should switch it off under normal conditions.

Press the Dynamic Cooling button m

until the indicator light comes on.

When the door is open, the fan automatically turns off temporarily to save energy.

– The room temperature is high (above

approx. 30°C [86°F]), and

–

The humidity in the room is high.

Switching on Dynamic Cooling

Press the Dynamic Cooling button until the indicator light comes on.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

The natural circulation of the air in the appliance causes different temperature zones to form in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest area of the appliance. Utilize the different zones when placing food in the appliance.

This appliance features Dynamic Cooling, which helps to maintain an even temperature when the fan is running. When Dynamic Cooling is switched on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigerator is located in the top region of the main storage area and the door. Use this area for storing butter (to maintain its spreadability) and cheese (to preserve its aroma).

Coldest area

The coldest areas in the refrigerator are directly above the fruit and vegetable containers (depending on model) or the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on model) and next to the back wall.

Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, such as:

– Fish, meat, poultry

– Sausage and cold cuts, ready-made

meals

– Dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream

– Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough

–

Raw milk cheese and other raw milk products

–

Vegetables packaged in plastic wrap and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4°C/86°F.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

WARNING! Danger of fire Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

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

If storing fatty or greasy foods in the appliance or the appliance door, make sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance. This can cause the plastic to crack and break.

Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator

Some foods are not suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5°C (41°F) due to their sensitivity to cold. Depending on the type of food, its appearance, consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.

Foods which are sensitive to cold include:

Pineapples, avocados, bananas,

–

pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits (such as lemons, oranges, mandarin oranges, grapefruits)

– Fruit which is not yet ripe

– Eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes,

bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini

Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance, as it may freeze to wall.

To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator.

Make sure that the fan at the back of the appliance is not covered. This is important for the refrigerator's cooling performance.

– Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan,

mountain cheese)

Using the refrigerator efficiently

What to be aware of when shopping for food

The food's freshness when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor in determining how long it will remain fresh and how long it can be kept in the appliance. Be sure to observe the best-before date and the correct storage temperature. Time outside of refrigerated storage should be kept to a minimum. For example, do not allow food to stay in a hot car for too long. Tip: Take a cooler bag with you when shopping and place all cold food immediately in the refrigerator and freezer upon arriving home.

Storing food correctly

As a rule, food should only be stored covered or packaged in the refrigerator. This will prevent food smells from affecting other foods, keep food from drying out and also stop any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is especially important when storing animal products. The shelf life of food can be significantly increased by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables can be stored without packaging in the fruit and vegetable trays (depending on model) or the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on model).

High-protein foods

Please note that foods that are high in protein spoil faster than those which are not. Shellfish, for example, spoils faster than fish, and fish goes bad more quickly than meat.

Moving the shelves

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

Lift the shelf, pull it forwards slightly,

lift the notch over the support ribs and move the shelf up or down.

The raised edge at the back of the shelf must face upwards to prevent food from touching the rear wall and freezing to it.

Stops prevent the shelves from being pulled out accidentally.

Split shelf

In order to accommodate tall items, such as large bottles or containers, a split shelf has been provided. The front section can be gently slid underneath the rear section:

^ Push the rear half of the glass shelf

slightly upwards.

With the rear half pushed up, lift the front half of the glass shelf slightly, then slide it carefully underneath the rear half.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Place the two support rails on the left

and right support ribs at the desired height and

Slide the glass shelves in one after

the other. The shelf with the raised edge must be at the back.

Moving the door shelf / bottle shelf

^ Lift up the door shelf / bottle shelf

and pull forward to remove.

^ Replace the door shelf / bottle shelf

at the desired height. Make sure that it is properly and securely pushed back into position.

To move the glass shelf halves:

Remove both halves of the shelf,

Freezing and storing food

WARNING! Danger of fire Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Maximum freezing capacity

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. During the defrosting process, the lower amount of moisture lost from the cells is more easily reabsorbed by the cells, which means that the food only loses a minimal amount of liquid. Very little water collects around the defrosted food.

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 can be found on the data plate:

"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs."

The maximum freezing capacity stated on the data plate was calculated according to the DIN EN ISO 15502 standard.

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible so that its nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste are maintained.

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. In practical terms, this means that the food loses a substantial amount of liquid, which can be seen by the fact that a large pool of water collects around it.

Storing prepackaged frozen food

When buying prepackaged frozen food to store in your freezer, check:

– That the packaging is not damaged

– The best-before date

– The temperature at which the frozen

food is being stored in the shop. The shelf life of frozen food is reduced if the food has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18°C (0°F).

Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cooler bag to transport it.

Place it in the freezer as soon as possible.

Never refreeze partially or fully thawed food. Thawed food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked.

Freezing and storing food

Home freezing

Only freeze food that is fresh and in good condition.

Tips for home freezing

The following types of food are

–

suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, baked goods, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a many types 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.

– Vegetables should be blanched

before freezing so that they retain their colour, taste, aroma and vitamin C. To blanch: Bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil, immerse the vegetables in the water for2-3 minutes in portions. Remove, and plunge into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack for freezing.

–

Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat and can be stored for considerably longer.

spices changes when the spices are frozen.

Placing hot foods or drinks in the

–

freezer causes food that is already frozen to partially thaw and increases energy consumption. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packaging

Freeze food in portions.

Suitable packaging

– Plastic freezer wrap – Polyethylene freezer bags – Aluminium foil – Freezer containers

Unsuitable packaging

– Brown packing paper – Parchment paper – Cellophane – Garbage bags – Plastic shopping bags

^ Expel as much air as possible from

the packaging before sealing.

Close the packaging tightly with: – Rubber bands – Plastic clips – String or bag ties – Freezer tape

–

To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets, etc. from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer wrap.

–

Do not season raw foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Cooked food can be lightly seasoned before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some

Polyethylene freezer bags can also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.

Write the contents and date of freezing on the packaging.

Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

When freezing more than 2 kg of

fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "SuperFreeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost.

Placing food in the freezer

When removing the freezer drawers, please note: The bottom drawer must always remain in the appliance. When placing food on the glass plates, make sure that you do not block the ventilation slots in the back wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance and normal energy consumption.

The following maximum loading weights must not be exceeded: – Freezer drawer = 25 kg – Glass plate = 35 kg

Unfrozen food should not touch frozen food as this will cause frozen food to begin to thaw.

^ Make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them from freezing together or to the freezer interior.

–

Freezing small items

Place the food in the upper freezer drawers.

Place the food flat in the bottom of the freezer drawer so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

Freezing the maximum amount

–

(see data plate)

^ Remove the upper freezer drawers.

^ Place the food flat on the upper glass

plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

After the initial freezing process:

^ Place the frozen food in the freezer

drawer and push it back in.

– Large items

If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, you can remove the glass plates between the freezer drawers.

Remove the upper freezer drawers. Carefully lift the glass plates and pull forward to remove.

Freezing and storing food

Defrosting frozen food

Frozen food can be thawed in various ways:

In a microwave oven

–

In a regular oven using the "Fan" or

–

"Defrost" setting

At room temperature

–

In the refrigerator (the cold from the

–

thawing frozen food will help cool the other food)

In a steamer

–

Flat pieces of partially thawed fish or meat can be placed directly into a hot frying pan.

Meat and fish (e.g. ground beef, chicken, fish filet) should not come into contact with other food during defrosting. Collect the defrosting liquid and dispose of it carefully.

Fruit can be thawed at room temperature, either in the packaging or in a covered bowl.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray three quarters

full with water and place it on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.

If the ice cube tray freezes to the

bottom of the drawer, use a dull object (e.g. a spoon handle) to loosen it.

^ Ice cubes can be easily removed

from the tray by briefly holding it under running water.

Cooling drinks quickly

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst.

Vegetables generally do not need to be thawed before cooking. Simply place them in boiling water or braise in hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that for fresh vegetables due to the altered cellular structure of frozen food.

Never refreeze partially or fully thawed food. Thawed food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked.

Automatic defrosting

WARNING! Risk of injury and damage Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Refrigerator

The refrigerator defrosts automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator when the compressor is running. There is no need to remove it, since it will evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor.

The condensate passes through a channel and a drain duct and is then fed into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.

Freezer

This freezer is equipped with a "NoFrost" system. The freezer defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated in the appliance collects on the evaporator and is automatically defrosted and evaporated from time to time.

This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free. However, food stored in the freezer will not defrost.

Be sure to keep the condensate channel and drain duct clean and free of blockages so that the condensate can drain properly.

WARNING! Danger of electric shock. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Danger of fire Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not allow water to get into the electronic unit, lighting or ventilation openings.

Cleaning water must not get into the condensate drain hole.

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

–

(depending on the model)

– Bottle shelf and door shelf on the

inside of the door

– Butter and cheese compartment

The maximum temperature of the dishwashing program selected must not exceed 55°C (131°F). Contact with natural dyes from carrots, tomatoes and ketchup in the dishwasher may discolour the plastic parts. This discolouring does not affect the stability of the parts.

Clean the shelves and drawers inside the appliance by hand; these parts are not dishwasher safe.

Clean the condensate channel and

drain duct frequently using a cotton swab or other similar object so that condensate can drain unhindered.

After cleaning, wipe down the interior

and accessories with a clean wet cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors open for a short while to air out the appliance.

Appliance doors, side walls

Remove any soiling on the appliance doors or side walls imme diately. Otherwise, it may become impossible to remove and can cause an alteration or discolouration of the surfaces.

The outer surfaces of the appliance are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the outer surfaces.

Clean the surfaces with a clean sponge cloth, liquid dish soap and warm water. You can also use a clean, damp microfibre cloth without any cleaning product.

After cleaning, wipe down with a clean wet cloth, then dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning

For doors on stainless steel appliances:

The appliance doors feature a high-quality surface coating, which protects against dirt and grime and facilitates cleaning.

Do not use the following to clean/condition the doors – Stainless steel cleaner: This will damage the surface. – Miele stainless steel conditioner: This will leave visible streaks.

Ventilation openings

^ The ventilation openings should be

cleaned with a brush or vacuum cleaner on a regular basis. Dust buildup increases the appliance's energy consumption.

Compressor and metal coils on back of the appliance

The compressor and the metal coils (heat exchanger) on the back of the appliance should be dusted at least once a year. Dust accumulation causes the appliance to consume more energy.

Door seal

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

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

After cleaning

Return all shelves and accessories to

the refrigerator.

^ Place food back in the refrigerator

and close the appliance doors.

Troubleshooting

Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed by authorized service technicians in strict accordance with applicable local, provincial and national safety regulations. Repairs by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.

What to do if...

. . . the appliance does not cool?

Check whether the appliance is

switched on. The temperature display must be illuminated.

This makes the compressor run longer, causing an automatic drop in temperature in the refrigerator.

. . . the compressor turns on too often and for too long?

Check whether the ventilation

openings are blocked or dusty.

Check whether the metal coils (heat

exchanger) on the back of the appliance are dusty.

The doors have been opened too

frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in at once for refrigerating or freezing.

^ Check whether the plug is correctly

inserted into the electrical outlet.

^ Check whether the main circuit

breaker has been tripped, or whether there is a fault in the building's electrical wiring (voltage), the fridge/freezer combination or another appliance. Contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Customer Contact Centre.

. . . the temperature in the freezer is too low?

Change the temperature setting to a warmer value.

The SuperFreeze function is still active, and the indicator light is on. It will automatically switch off after approx. 65 hours.

Check that the appliance doors are properly closed.

Did you freeze a large amount of food at the same time?

^ Check that the doors close properly.

. . . frozen food thaws because it is too warm in the freezer?

^ Is the room temperature lower than

the ambient temperature for which the appliance is designed?

If so, increase the room temperature.

If the room temperature is too low, the compressor will switch on less frequently. This may cause the freezer to become too warm.

. . . food has frozen together?

Use a blunt object, e.g. the handle of a spoon, to pry it apart carefully.

Troubleshooting

. . . the door to the freezer will not open multiple times in a row?

This is not a fault. Warm air entering the freezer creates a suction effect that can prevent the door from opening. Wait a few minutes and then try again. It should now open without force.

...analarm sounds?

An appliance door has been open for longer than approx. 60 seconds!

Close the appliance door.

. . . the alarm sounds and the temperature display for the freezer is flashing?

The freezer is warmer or colder than the set temperature because:

^ The freezer door has been opened

too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in for freezing at the same time.

The ventilation slots are blocked.

. . . the interior lighting of refrigerator no longer works properly?

Was the door left open for too long?

The lighting automatically switches off after approx. 15 minutes if the door is left open.

If this is not the case, then the interior lighting is defective.

Call the Customer Contact Centre.

The LED lighting may only be repaired or replaced by a Miele authorized ser vice technician. There are live electrical components under the cover. Risk of injury and damage!

Do not remove the cover. If the cover is damaged or has been removed as a result of being damaged, use caution. Never use optical instruments (magnifying glass or similar devices) to view the lighting, as it contains lasers (class 1M laser radiation).

Once the problems have been resolved, the temperature display for the freezer remains constantly lit and the alarm signal stops.

. . . the SuperFreeze indicator light and the temperature display are flashing simultaneously?

There is a fault. Call the Customer Contact Centre.

Troubleshooting

. . . the refrigerator floor is wet?

The condensate drain hole is blocked.

Clean the condensate channel and

drain hole.

If you are unable to resolve the situation using this information, please call the Miele Customer Contact Centre.

To prevent an unnecessary decrease in temperature, avoid opening the appliance doors until the problem has been resolved.

Noises

Normal noises How are they caused?

Brrrrr ... A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This

noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor switches on.

Blubb, blubb ... The refrigerant makes bubbling, gurgling and hissing noises

as it flows through the pipes.

Click ... A clicking sound can be heard whenever the thermostat

switches the motor on or off.

Sssrrrrr ... On multi-zone and NoFrost appliances, you can sometimes

hear a faint sound coming from the flow of air inside the appliance.

On appliances with a water tank, a humming sound can be heard when water is being pumped out of the water tank.
