Technical safety
The cooling system has been checked for leaks. This appliance
~
complies with all applicable local and national safety requirements.
This appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a
~
natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is
flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not
increase the greenhouse effect.
The use of this refrigerant 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 refrigerant flowing
throughout the system. Though this is unavoidable, it does not have
any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transport and installation/setup of the
appliance so that no parts of the cooling system are damaged.
Refrigerant spurting out of the cooling system can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–
Avoid open flames and anything that creates sparks,
–
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,
–
Ventilate the room in which the appliance is located for several
minutes,
–
Contact Miele.
The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room
~
it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, there is a danger
of combustible gases building up if the appliance is in too small of a
room.
For every8gofrefrigerant, at least 1 m
The amount of refrigerant contained in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.
3
of room space is required.
11
Warning and safety instructions

23
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 the amount of food stored in it
–
increases.
– 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
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
(39°F) in the refrigerator.
...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 essentially ceases. 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.
24
The correct temperature
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the actual mean
refrigerator temperature and the
current temperature in the warmest
part of the freezer.
Dashes will flash in the display if the
temperature in the freezer is not within
the displayable range.
Depending on the room temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
several hours until the desired
temperature is reached and shown as a
constant temperature in the display.
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
defrost. If it has, check that the food
is safe to use and if it is, then use it
as soon as possible.
Setting the temperature
The temperatures for the refrigerator
and the freezer are set separately.
Select the refrigerator or freezer.
^
Use the two buttons below the
^
display to set the temperature.
Tap the
– to decrease the temperature
–
to increase the temperature
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
25
The correct temperature
When you tap the buttons, you will see
the following changes in the display:
Tapping a button once: The last
–
temperature selected flashes.
Each subsequent tap of a button:
–
Adjusts the temperature shown in 1°
increments.
Keeping your finger on the button:
–
The temperature changes
continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after you
release the button, the temperature
display automatically switches to the
actual temperature inside the
appliance.
Or
^ Touch the OK button to confirm your
selection.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait approx. 6 hours if the appliance
is not very full and approx. 24 hours
if the appliance is full before checking
the temperature display, as it will take
this long for the appliance to give an
accurate reading.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted:
From 1°C (34°F) to 9°C (48°F) in the
–
refrigerator
From -15°C (5°F) to -26°C (-15°F) in
–
the freezer
If the temperature is still too high or too
low after this time, you will need to
adjust it again.
26
Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Switching on SuperCool
SuperCool is particularly recommended
for the fast chilling of large amounts of
fresh food or drink.
^ Touch the refrigerator button.
The refrigerator symbol will light up
yellow.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function switches off
automatically after approx. 12 hours.
The refrigerator will once again operate
at normal cooling power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^ Touch the refrigerator button.
The refrigerator symbol will light up
yellow.
^
Touch the SuperCool button so that it
is highlighted yellow.
The appliance will work at full power
to lower the temperature in the
appliance.
^ Touch the SuperCool button so that it
is no longer highlighted yellow.
The appliance will continue running
at normal power.
27
Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperFreeze
For the best freezing results, switch on
the SuperFreeze function before putting
fresh food into the freezer.
This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours
and appearance.
Super freeze is not necessary:
When placing food in the freezer that
–
is already frozen.
When only freezing up to 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.
^ Touch the freezer button.
The freezer symbol will light up
yellow.
^ Touch the SuperFreeze button so that
it is highlighted yellow.
28
The appliance will work at full power
to lower the temperature in the
appliance.
Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze
Switching off SuperFreeze
The SuperFreeze function switches off
automatically after approx. 30 - 65
hours. The amount of time until the
SuperFreeze function is switched off
depends on the amount of fresh food
that was placed in the freezer. The
SuperFreeze symbol ª goes out and
the freezer will once again operate at
normal cooling performance.
To save energy, you can manually
switch off the SuperFreeze function
once a constant temperature of -18°C
(0°F) or colder has been reached in the
freezer. Keep an eye on the
temperature as it falls.
^ Touch the freezer button.

Temperature and door alarm
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.
Temperature alarm
If the freezer temperature becomes
too warm, the freezer button will flash
and the alarm symbol ; in the display
will flash simultaneously. An alarm will
also sound.
The appliance uses the set temperature
to identify a temperature as being too
warm.
Audible and visual signals will be
activated, for example,
– When the appliance is switched on
and the temperature in a temperature
zone differs greatly from the set
temperature.
– When too much room-temperature air
enters the freezer when food is being
loaded, rearranged or removed.
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
defrost. If it has, check that the food
is safe to use. If this is the case, use
it as soon as possible or cook it
before freezing it again.
Switching the alarm off early
If you are bothered by the sound of the
alarm, you can switch the alarm off
early.
^ Touch the Alarm off button.
The sound of the alarm will stop. Both
the freezer button on the control panel
and the ; symbol in the display will
continue to flash until the freezer
returns to the set temperature.
–
When freezing large amounts of food
at the same time.
–
When there is a loss of power.
–
If the appliance is faulty.
Once the set temperature has been
reached in the freezer, the alarm
switches off and the alarm symbol ;
disappears. The freezer button is once
again constantly illuminated.
