Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

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

Disposal of your old appliance

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Do not store explosive materials in

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

If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

Do not store cans or bottles

containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. 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.

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system to protect your stored wine and frozen food from a change in temperature and also to save energy.

Temperature alarm

An alarm will sound and the relevant temperature display will flash, if the temperature in the wine cooler is too cold or too warm or if the temperature in the freezer section is not cold enough.

The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm or too cold.

The alarm will sound and the relevant temperature display will also flash:

– when freezing large amounts of food

at once.

– if the doors have been left open for a

while, e.g. in order to load, to re-arrange or to take out frozen food or wine bottles.

Door alarm

If one of the doors has been left open for more than approx. 60 seconds the alarm will sound.

The alarm will stop as soon as the door is closed.

Switching on the alarm system

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

Switching the alarm off early

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

The temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached.

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

Using the wine cooler

Wine keeps on maturing depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time for which wine can be kept in good condition will depend on the temperature but also the air humidity.

The correct temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature between 5°C and 18°C. The optimum temperature is around 8 - 12°C. Most white wines can be consumed at this temperature. It is best to take red wine out of the wine cooler about two hours before drinking. Open the wine to allow it to breathe and to develop its aroma. After two hours red wine will be at the correct temperature for drinking.

If wine is stored at a temperature above 22°C it will mature too quickly. Wine should not be stored below 5°C for a long period of time as it will not mature fully at this low temperature.

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.

Safety feature

A thermostat prevents the temperature in the wine cooler falling below 2°C. If the external temperature should drop below this level, a heater element in the appliance switches on automatically to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible.

Setting the temperature in the wine cooler

Use the two buttons underneath wine cooler temperature display to set the temperature.

Press the

left hand button: to raise the

temperature

right hand button: to reduce the

temperature.

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

After setting the temperature you can see the following information in the display by pressing the +/- buttons:

– When first pressed: the last

temperature selected flashes. – Each subsequent press of the button

adjusts the temperature shown in

1 °C steps. –

Keeping the button pressed in

adjusts the temperature continually. Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of

the button, the current actual temperature of the wine cooler is automatically shown.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from 5 °C to 18 °C.

Using the wine cooler

Humidity

It is very important to store wine in an atmosphere with a high humidity level (60 - 70 %) so that the corks remain moist on the outside. A refrigerator with its low humidity level is therefore not the best place to store wine. At a low humidity level corks dry out from the outside and so do not seal the bottles as tightly. This is why wine always has to be stored on its side so that the wine keeps the corks moist from the inside too. Air entering the bottle will inevitably spoil the wine.

Useful tip: Before serving, stand the wine upright for at least two hours, or the entire day if possible, to allow any sediment to settle at the bottom of the bottle.

Dynamic cooling m

With Dynamic cooling the relative humidity inside the wine cooler and the temperature are distributed evenly around the interior which enables you to store all your wine under the exactly the same excellent conditions.

The fan will switch itself on automatically at regular intervals to ensure that the humidity level in the wine cooler remains constant.

Switching on Dynamic cooling

^ For a constant circulation of air inside

the wine cooler, press the Dynamic cooling button m. The indicator light will come on.

Switching off Dynamic cooling

Because the appliance uses more energy when Dynamic cooling is switched on, it should not be left switched on all the time.

To switch it off, press the Dynamic cooling button m. The indicator light will go out.

The fan automatically switches off whilst the door is open.

Air filtering with the active charcoal filter

The active charcoal filter maintains the air quality in the wine cooler by filtering the incoming air to ensure that all air entering the appliance is fresh and free from dust and smells.

Replace the active charcoal filter with a new one once a year (see "Cleaning and care").

Using the wine cooler

Storing wine bottles

Wooden shelf fronts

Any vibration or movement of the bottle can affect the wine by interrupting the natural respiration process and so impair the taste.

As far as possible, store bottles of the same type of wine beside each other on the same shelf. Removing a bottle of one type will then leave the other types undisturbed and will avoid the need to move different bottles around.

The wine cooler can hold a maximum of 42 bottles (standard

0.75 litre Bordeaux wine bottles).

Descriptive labels

Use the labels supplied to identify your wine quickly and easily. Insert the labels into the wooden shelf fronts from above.

Additional labels can be purchased from your dealer.

Using the freezer section

The correct temperature

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

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

Setting the temperature in the freezer section

Use the two buttons underneath the freezer section temperature display to set the temperature.

Press the

Each subsequent press of the button

–

the button, the current actual temperature of the freezer section is automatically shown.

If you have adjusted the temperature,

wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature

display as it will take this long for the display to give an accurate reading. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

Freezer section temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from

-14 °C to -28 °C.

temperature.

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

After setting the temperature you can see the following information in the display by pressing the buttons:

–

When first pressed, the last temperature selected flashes.

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

Using the freezer section

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells, which then shrink. During the defrosting process, only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells; the rest collects around the food. In practice this means that the food loses a large degree of its moisture. The rest collects around the food.

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. and very little water collects around the defrosted food.

Super freeze

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

Exceptions:

when putting in food that is already

–

frozen.

when freezing less than 2 kg fresh

–

food daily.

Switching on Super freeze

When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer section, the Super freeze function should be switched on 6 hours

beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food the Super

freeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

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.

Using the freezer section

Switching off Super freeze

Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer section, the Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 30 to 65 hours. The Super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at normal power.

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

^ Press the Super freeze button. The

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

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 compartment, check

– that the packaging is not damaged, – the use by date, – the temperature at which the frozen

food is being stored in the shop. The

length of time it can be kept is

reduced if it has been stored at a

temperature warmer than -18 °C.

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

Store it in the freezer section 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.

Using the freezer section

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, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.

– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,

vegetables should be blanched after they have been trimmed and washed. To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, immerse the vegetables in the fast boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on variety. Remove, and plunge into cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack ready for freezing.

–

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

–

To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

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.

Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin bags

- plastic carrier bags

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

- aluminium foil

- freezer containers

Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them, to prevent freezer burn on food.

Close the packaging tightly with

- rubber bands

- plastic clips

- string or bag ties

- freezer tape.

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

–

Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food

Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the freezer compartment

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 section (see "Super freeze").

Placing food in the freezer compartment

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

Large quantities can be placed directly on to the glass cold plates to freeze the food quickly. To do this first take out one or more freezer drawers.

When freezing large items e.g. a turkey or a large joint of meat, the glass cold plate between two of the drawers as well as one of the freezer drawers can be removed to give more room. This way food can be stored in the space of two drawers.

Using the freezer section

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

Freezer calendar

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

Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.

Marker system for frozen food

Markers serve as a reminder of how long food has been stored.

Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials. The months are represented on the dials as 1 - 12.

The bottom drawer must not be taken out of the appliance.

Each drawer and glass cold plate can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg.

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

Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

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

Using the freezer section

Use the markers to indicate the type of food being frozen, and turn the dials to the appropriate number to indicate the month the food was first placed in the freezer.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:

in a microwave oven,

–

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

–

setting, at room temperature,

–

Cooling drinks

When placing bottles in the freezer section for rapid cooling, make sure

they are not left in for more than one hour as they could burst.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Cool pack

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, place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.

When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the cool pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw.

The cool pack can also be used in a cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.

Using the freezer section

Ice cube maker

For the automatic ice cube maker to operate it must be connected to the mains water supply.

Switching on

Switch on the freezer section.

Open the top left drawer in the

freezer section.

^ Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker. The indicator light will come on.

^ Close the drawer.

The drawer must be completely shut for ice cubes to be produced.

To ensure that the water pipes are thoroughly flushed through before use, ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes must not be consumed. This applies not only to when the appliance is installed for the first time but also if the appliance has been out of use for a longer period (e.g. whilst on holiday).

Making a large amount of ice cubes

The amount of ice cubes which the appliance makes depends on the temperature in the freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes are produced within a certain time frame.

Ice cube production is halted automatically as soon as the ice cube drawer is full.

If you require a large amount of ice cubes,

After the appliance is switched on for the first time it can take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice cube maker and collect in the drawer. Thereafter, when the ice cube maker is switched off and then on again it will take up to a maximum of 6 hours for ice cubes to be produced.

replace the full ice cube drawer with the drawer beside it on the right.

The ice cube maker will begin to produce ice cubes again as soon as this new drawer has been placed in position and closed properly.

Switching off the ice cube maker

The ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes.

Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker until the indicator light goes out.

If the ice cube maker is switched off, the ice cube drawer can be used as an extra drawer for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food.

Ice cube maker

Defrosting

Wine cooler

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the wine cooler 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 kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.

Freezer section

This freezer is equipped with a "Frost free" system. The freezer section defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated by defrosting collects on the condenser and is automatically dissipated from time to time.

This enables the freezer section to remain permanently ice-free while the food remains frozen. This system will not cause food stored in the freezer to defrost!

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.

For stainless steel surfaces, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent.

Do not let water get into the electronic unit, ventilation gaps or into the light.

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

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

The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a service call.

Before cleaning

Switch the appliance off by pressing both On/Off switches, switch off at the socket and remove the plug.

Take any frozen food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.

Take out any removable parts e.g. shelves for cleaning.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the outer casing, the interior and accessories

Use warm water with a little washing up liquid. Wash all accessories by hand only. Do not wash in a dishwasher.

Clean the appliance at least once a

month. Clean the condensate channel and

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

^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a

suitable cleaning agent following the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and

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

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

it will go within the next 60 seconds. The ice cube tray will then rotate into an

angled position which makes it easier for cleaning:

Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker.

The ice cube tray will return to its original position.

Then put the ice cube drawer back in

the appliance and close it.

The ice cube maker will begin to produce ice cubes again after a maximum of 6 hours.

If the ice cube maker has not been used for a while, it is important to clean the ice cube tray before using it again.

Ventilation gaps

^ The ventilation gaps should be

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

Wait until the ice cube tray has

completed this rotation before

continuing.

Then take the ice cube drawer out of

the appliance and clean it.

Now clean the ice cube tray with hot

water and a little washing up liquid or

sterilising fluid. Rinse thoroughly

afterwards.

Door seals

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

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

Cleaning and care

Metal grille at the back of the appliance

The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way.

Active charcoal filter

Replace the active charcoal filter with a new one once a year. Active charcoal filters are available from your dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

If, after you have refitted the handle, you find that the side section does touch the door seal when the door is opened:

Realign mounting plate c with grub

screws a until the mounting plate and the side section of the handle d are at the correct angle and the side section does not touch the seal when the door is opened.

The appliance can be installed in a kitchen run. To match the height of the rest of the kitchen, the appliance can be fitted with a suitable top box a.

Building in the appliance

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

When built into a kitchen run (max. depth 580 mm) the appliance can be installed directly next to a kitchen furniture housing unit. The appliance door b will protrude in front of furniture fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by 51 mm in the middle of the door. This enables the doors to be opened and shut without being obstructed.

When installed next to a wall c a distance of approx. 36 mm is needed on the hinge side between the wall and the appliance, so that the doors and handles have sufficient space for opening.

A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm depth must be allowed for behind the appliance and top box, if fitted, for air to circulate. A gap of at least 40 mm is required between the top of the appliance (or top box) and the ceiling to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance. Otherwise the appliance has to work harder, resulting in an increase in electricity consumption.

Technical safety

This appliance contains the coolant

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, but does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during 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 Department for advice.

The more coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply

when:

it has been switched off at the wall

–

socket and the plug has been withdrawn, or

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

Do not store explosive materials in

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

Do not use any electrical

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

If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

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 food which has become

frozen. They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

Do not use defrosting sprays or

de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

Do not use any oils or grease on

the door seal, as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time.

The appliance is designed for use

within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

Do not use a steam-cleaning

appliance to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

If storing bottles of oil or food

containing high levels of fat or oil in the appliance, take care not to let the fat or oil come into contact with plastic components. These can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in

the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

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 themselves in and endangering their lives.

leave the door ajar to air the appliance.

If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.

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.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.

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

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

Warmest area

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

Coldest area

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

Use the coldest areas in the refrigerator section and in the StayFresh zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.

–

fish, meat, poultry, –

sausage products, ready meals, –

dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream, –

fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough, –

soft cheese and other dairy

products,

If storing bottles of oil or food containing high levels of fat or oil in the appliance, take care not to let the fat or oil come into contact with plastic components. These can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components.

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

StayFresh zone

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

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

–

pre-packed vegetables and other

fresh food with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of

approx. 4 °C.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

The StayFresh zone is divided into two areas:

The dry compartment has a relative

–

humidity level of approx. 45 %.

The humidity controlled

–

compartment has a control for

setting the humidity level between

45 % and 90 %. Slide the control to

the humidity level you require. The humidity level will also be affected

by the moisture content of the food being stored and how often the compartment is opened.

Low humidity level ,

^ To set a humidity level of approx.

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

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

High humidity level -

To set a humidity level of approx.

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

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

Store these types of food uncovered in the compartment.

Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator. These include:

– Fruit and vegetables which are

sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado pears, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines/eggplant, peppers/capsicum, tomatoes and cucumbers

–

Fruit which is not yet ripe

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

–

Potatoes

–

Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Storing food correctly

Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together.

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

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

Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are:

Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches.

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

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

Protein rich foods

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

Meat

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

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

Adjusting the interior fittings

Moving the shelves

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

Pull the shelf forward as far as it will

go; then lift it upwards to remove it. With the rear barrier facing upwards,

place the shelf at the required position. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.

Split shelf

In order to accommodate tall items in the appliance, one of the shelves is divided. The front section can be pushed under the rear section.

^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf

forwards slightly and then push it carefully under the rear half.

Adjusting the door shelves

Push the door shelf upwards, then

remove it by pulling it forwards. Replace the door shelf at the

required position. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position.

Moving the bottle divider

(Depending on model) The bottle divider can be moved to the

left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut.

StayFresh zone compartments

^ When loading and unloading items,

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

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

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

compartment back in c.

Automatic defrost

Refrigerator section and StayFresh zone

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the StayFresh zone whilst in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance.

The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.

Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.

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.

Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

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.

Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach 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.

Before cleaning

Switch the appliance off, switch off at the socket and remove the plug.

Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.

Cleaning and care

Take out any removable parts e.g.

shelves for cleaning. The stainless steel trim can be pulled

off the front edge of the refrigerator section shelves for cleaning.

Cleaning the outer casing, the interior and accessories

Clean the refrigerator section and the

StayFresh zone at least once a month.

Accessories and shelves should all

be hand-washed. The butter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.

^ 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.
