Technical safety

The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigerationappliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap-propriate EU directives.

This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flam-mable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and doesnot contribute to the greenhouse effect.The use of this refrigerant has, however, led to a slight increase inthe noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the com-pressor, you might be able to hear the refrigerant flowing around thecooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does notaffect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensurethat no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refri-gerant can damage the eyes.In the event of damage:

- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.

- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricitysupply.

- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located forseveral minutes.

- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the largerthe room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the ap-pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of a combustible gas/air mixture building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m3 ofroom space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigerationappliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.


8

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that theconnection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the dataplate corresponds to the household supply.Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consulta qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-tion tested by a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assuredif it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replacedby a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user fromdanger.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by amulti-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard anddo not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Correct use

This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperat-ures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on thedata plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. Alower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch offfor longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unableto maintain the required temperature.


10

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption andcould cause damage to the components.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance orthe door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plasticcomponents as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in therefrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g.spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes ofgases to ignite.

Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance.Danger of sparking and explosion.

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cansor bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freezein the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When coolingdrinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in formore than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.

Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts ofthe appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozenfood or to the metal.

Danger of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare handsand never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight fromthe freezer zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food cancause frost burn to the lips and tongue.

Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-ted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value andspoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after ithas been cooked.


11

Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-tions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage timeswill depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality ofthe food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored.

Stainless steel appliances

Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it tolose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesiveon the stainless steel surface.

The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can causescratching.

Accessories and spare parts

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts withthis appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-facturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil-ity.

Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-imum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation ofyour refrigeration appliance.

Cleaning the appliance

Please refer to the relevant instruc-tions in “Cleaning and care”.

Clean the inside of the appliance andthe accessories.

Switching on and off

24

Operating the applianceA light touch of the finger on thesensors is all that is required to operatethis appliance.

Switching the refrigeration ap-pliance onThe freezer section and the refrigeratorsection can be switched on at the sametime using the two On/Off controls.

To enable the temperature to get suffi-ciently cold inside the refrigeration ap-pliance, allow the appliance to run forapprox. 3-5 hours (depending on am-bient temperature) before placing foodin it. Do not place food in the freezer sec-tion until it has reached the requiredcoldness (at least -18 °C).

Touch one of the two On/Off con-trols until the temperature displaylights up.

The refrigeration appliance will beswitched on and the interior lighting willcome on in the refrigerator section.

The temperature display for the refriger-ator section indicates the temperaturein the refrigerator section.

- If the temperature in the freezer sec-tion is above 0 °C, dashes will flash inthe temperature display for thefreezer section.

- As soon as the temperature dropsbelow 0 °C the temperature in thefreezer section will flash in the dis-play.

- The LED in the display will flashuntil the set temperature has beenreached in the freezer section.

The appliance will gradually reach thepre-set temperatures:

- Temperature in the refrigerator sec-tion = 3 °C

- Temperature in the freezer sec-tion =-18 °C

Switching on and off

25

Switching off the whole refri-geration appliance Touch the right-hand On/Off con-

trol until all of the indicators go out.

If this does not work, the safety lock isactivated (see “Selecting further set-tings – Activating and deactivating thesafety lock”). The refrigerator section in-terior lighting will go out and the coolingprocess will be switched off.

Switching off the refrigerator sectionseparately

The refrigerator section can beswitched off without having to switchoff the freezer section. The freezer sec-tion cannot be turned off separately.

Touch the left-hand On/Off controluntil the temperature display for therefrigerator section goes off.

If this is does not happen, the safetylock is still activated (see "Selecting fur-ther settings - Activating and deactivat-ing the safety lock).The refrigerator section is switched off.The temperature in the freezer sectionwill still be shown in the display. The re-frigerator section interior lighting will goout.

Switching the refrigerator section onseparately (if previously switched off)

Touch the left-hand On/Off control to switch on the refrigerator section.

The refrigerator section will be switchedon and will start to cool down. It willreach the set temperature. The interiorlighting will come on when the refriger-ator section door is opened.

Switching off for longer peri-ods of time

If, during a long absence, the refri-geration appliance is switched offbut not cleaned and the door(s) leftshut, there is a risk of mould forminginside the appliance.It is essential to clean the refrigera-tion appliance.

If the refrigeration appliance is not go-ing to be used for a longer period oftime, observe the following:

Switch the refrigeration appliance off.

Switch the appliance off at the wallsocket and pull the plug out of thesocket, or disconnect the fuse.

Clean the refrigeration appliance andleave the door ajar to air the appli-ance and avoid odours building up in-side.

It is also advisable to carry out the lasttwo instructions if you are switchingthe refrigerator section off for a longerperiod of time.

The correct temperature

26

It is very important to set the correcttemperature for storing food in the ap-pliance. Bacteria will cause food whichis not stored at the correct temperatureto deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-ences the growth rate of these bacteria.Reducing the temperature reduces theirgrowth rate.

The temperature in the refrigeration ap-pliance will rise:

- The more often the appliance door isopened and the longer it is kept open

- The more food that is stored in it

- The warmer the food is which is be-ing put into it

- The higher the ambient temperaturesurrounding the refrigeration appli-ance. This refrigeration appliance isdesigned for use within specific am-bient temperatures (climate range).Do not use in ambient temperaturesfor which it is not designed.

... in the refrigerator sectionWe recommend a temperature of 4 °Cin the refrigerator section.

... in the freezer sectionTo freeze fresh food and to store frozenfood for long periods, a temperature of-18 °C is required. At this temperaturethe growth of bacteria is generally hal-ted. As soon as the temperature risesabove -10 °C, the bacteria become act-ive in the food again so it cannot bekept as long. For this reason, partiallydefrosted or defrosted food must not bere-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once ithas been cooked , as the high temper-atures achieved when cooking destroymost bacteria.

The correct temperature

27

Temperature display

In normal operation the upper temper-ature display shows the average, cur-rent temperature in the refrigeratorsection and the lower temperaturedisplay the highest temperature inthe freezer section.

Depending on the ambient temperatureand the temperature setting, it can takethe appliance a few hours to reach thetemperature required and for this tem-perature to then be shown as a con-stant temperature in the display.

Setting the temperature Use the and arrow sensors to

set the temperature higher or lower.

The following information shows in thedisplay while the sensors are beingtouched:

- Touching a sensor once: the lasttemperature selected flashes.

- Each subsequent touch of thesensor: adjusts the temperatureshown in 1 °C increments.

- Keeping a finger on the sensorchanges the temperature continu-ously.

Approximately 5 seconds after the lasttime a sensor has been touched, thecurrent temperature inside the appli-ance is automatically shown.

Temperature range

- The temperature in the refrigeratorsection can be adjusted from 2 °C to7 °C.

- The temperature in the freezer sec-tion can be adjusted from -14 °C to-27 °C.

Tip: If you have adjusted the temperat-ure, wait for approx. 6 hours if the ap-pliance is not very full and for approx.24 hours if the appliance is full beforechecking the temperature display, as itwill take this long for the appliance togive an accurate reading.

If, after this time, the temperature isstill too high or too low, you will needto adjust it again.

Using Super cool, Super freeze and DynaCool

28

The following functions are availabledepending on section:

- Refrigerator sectionSuper cool and DynaCool

- Freezer sectionSuper freeze

See the following pages for more in-formation on these functions and howto switch them on.

Super freeze function For optimum results switch on the Su-per freeze function before putting freshfood into the freezer section. This helpsfood to freeze quickly and retain its nu-trients, vitamins, flavours and appear-ance.

Exceptions:

- When placing food in the freezer thatis already frozen

- When freezing up to 2 kg of freshfood daily

The SuperFreeze function should beswitched on 6 hours before placingfood in the freezer section. When freezing the maximum amountof food the SuperFreeze functionshould be switched on 24 hours be-forehand.

When SuperFreeze is switched on, theappliance will work at full power tolower the temperature in the freezer.

The SuperFreeze function will switch it-self off automatically after approx.65 hours. The quantity of fresh foodplaced in the freezer will determine thetime before the SuperFreeze functionturns off.

Tip: To save energy, you can manuallyswitch off SuperFreeze once the freezerreaches a constant temperature of-18 °C or colder. Monitor the temperat-ure in the freezer section.

When SuperFreeze is switched off, theappliance will run at normal poweragain.

Super cool function The Super cool function can be used torapidly reduce the temperature in therefrigerator section to its lowest setting(depending on the room temperature).

Tip: Super cool is particularly recom-mended for the rapid chilling of largeamounts of fresh food or drink.

When Super cool is switched on, theappliance will work at full power tolower the temperature in the appliance.

It switches itself off automatically afterapprox. 12 hours.

Tip: To save energy, you can switch theSuper cool function off yourself oncefood and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

After switching Super cool off the appli-ance reverts to working at normalpower.

DynaCool function When the DynaCool function is notswitched on, the natural circulation ofair in the appliance will cause differenttemperature zones in the refrigerator asthe cold, heavy air will sink to the low-est section of the appliance. You shouldbear this in mind when placing food inthe appliance (see “Storing food in therefrigerator section”).However, if you are placing a large

Using Super cool, Super freeze and DynaCool

29

amount of food in the refrigerator at anyone time, (e.g. after the weekly shop) itis a good idea to switch DynaCool on.This way you can distribute the temper-ature inside the appliance to all areasmore evenly so that all the food will bechilled to about the same degree.The temperature is set as normal.

DynaCool should also be selectedwhen:

- the ambient temperature in the roomis high (above approx. 30 °C), and

- the room humidity level is high.

With DynaCool switched on, the fan isready: when the compressor switcheson, the fan also switches on automat-ically.

Tip: Because DynaCool requires moreenergy, you should switch it off undernormal conditions.

To save energy, the fan switches offautomatically whilst the door is open.

Switching a function on or off Touch the sensor for the function you

want.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

35

Risk of explosion due to flam-mable mixes of gases.Electrical components can causeflammable mixes of gases to ignite.Do not store explosive materials inthe refrigeration appliance or anyproducts containing propellants (e.g.spray cans).

Risk of damage due to greasy oroily food.If storing food which contains a lot offat or oil in the refrigeration applianceor the appliance door, make surethat it does not come into contactwith plastic components as thiscould cause stress cracks or breakthe plastic.Make sure that no fat or oil leaksonto the plastic parts of the refrigera-tion appliance.

Different storage zonesDue to natural air circulation, there aredifferent temperature zones in the refri-gerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-tion of the refrigeration section. Makeuse of the different zones when placingfood in the appliance.

Tip: To allow air to circulate efficiently,do not pack food too closely together inthe appliance.

If there is insufficient air circulation,the cooling performance will de-crease and energy consumption willincrease.Do not cover the fan in the rear wallof the appliance.

Tip: Do not store food in such a waythat it touches the rear wall of the refri-gerator section as it may freeze to therear wall.

This appliance has Dynamic cooling,which helps to keep an even temper-ature when the fan is running, makingthe difference between the variouszones less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigeratorsection is at the top in the front areaand in the door. Use this for storing but-ter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-tion is directly above the fruit and ve-getable drawers and at the back.

Use these areas to store all delicate andhighly perishable food such as:

- Fish, meat, poultry

- Cold cuts, ready meals

- Dishes or baked goods containingeggs or cream

- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza orquiche dough

- Raw milk cheese and other raw milkproducts

- Pre-packed vegetables

- Other fresh food with a label stating itshould be kept at a temperature ofapprox. 4 °C

Storing food in the refrigerator section

36

Food which is not suitable forstorage in the refrigerator sec-tionNot all food is suitable for refrigerationat temperatures below 5 °C, because itmay be sensitive to cold. Depending onthe type of food, the appearance, con-sistency, flavour and/or vitamin contentmay be altered if stored at too cold atemperature.

Food which is sensitive to cold in-cludes:

- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,pomegranates, mangoes, melons,papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruitsuch as lemons, oranges, mandarins,grapefruit

- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)

- Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,peppers, tomatoes, courgettes

- Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan, moun-tain cheese)

Notes on buying foodThe freshness of the food when it is firstplaced in the appliance is the most im-portant factor for how long it staysfresh.Take into account the use-by date andthe correct storage temperature.Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. trans-porting food in a warm car, should bekept to a minimum.

Storing food correctlyEnsure that food stored in the refriger-ator section is covered or wrappedproperly. This will prevent food odoursfrom affecting other foods, food from

drying out, and also any cross-contam-ination of bacteria. This is particularlyimportant when storing meat products.By ensuring that the temperature set-tings are correct and by taking appro-priate hygiene measures you can pro-long the storage life of your food con-siderably.

Fruit and vegetable drawers

Fruit and vegetables can be storedloose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.

Protein-rich food

Please note that food rich in protein de-teriorates faster than other types offood. Shellfish, for example, deterior-ates faster than fish, and fish deterior-ates faster than meat.

Adjusting the interior fittings (refrigerator section)

37

Moving the shelves

Stoppers prevent the shelves from be-ing dislodged by mistake.

The shelves can be adjusted accord-ing to the height of the refrigeratedgoods:

1. Lift the shelf up slightly at the front.

2. Pull it forwards a little and lift it untilthe notch at the side is in line withthe shelf support. It can then beraised or lowered to the requiredlevel.

The raised edge on the protective stripat the back must face upwards to pre-vent food from touching the back ofthe appliance and freezing to it.

Adjusting the bottle rack

The bottle rack can be placed at differ-ent positions in the appliance.

Raise the bottle rack slightly at thefront, and pull it forwards a little untilthe notch at the side is in line with theshelf support. It can then be raised orlowered to the required level.

The rear rail must face upwards to pre-vent bottles from touching the back ofthe appliance.

Stoppers prevent the bottle rack frombeing dislodged by mistake.


38

Removing fruit and vegetabledrawers on rollersThe fruit and vegetable drawers are onrollers and can be completely pulled outfor loading and emptying.

The roller plates can be removed forcleaning.

Adjusting the door shelf/bottleshelf

Only move the appliance doorshelves/bottle shelves when they areempty.

Lift the clip-on container up and outof the stainless steel frame to remove.

Push the stainless steel frame up andremove it by pulling it forward.

Replace the stainless steel frame inthe required position. Ensure that it issecurely pushed back in the correctposition.

Some stainless steel frames areeasier to remove and replace whenyou take hold of them together withthe slat at the back and remove bypulling upward.

Replace the clip-on container in thestainless steel frame.

You can remove the clip-on containerscompletely from the door shelves to filland empty them and then replacethem. The clip-on containers can alsobe taken to the table with the food stillin them and used as a serving tray.


39

Adjusting the bottle holderThe bottle holder can be moved left orright. This way the bottles will be moresecure when the appliance door isopened and closed.

The bottle holder can be removed com-pletely (for example for cleaning):

To do this, push the front edge of thebottle holder up and disengage it.

Moving the charcoal filters

When storing very strong smellingfood (e.g. very ripe cheese):

- Place the holder with the charcoal fil-ters on the shelf where this food iskept.

- Change the filters sooner if neces-sary.

- Use more charcoal filters (with hold-ers) in the appliance (see “Accessor-ies - Optional accessories”).

The holder for the charcoal filters sitson the protective strip at the back of theshelf.

Pull the charcoal filter holder upwardsto remove it from the protective strip.

Refit it on the protective strip of theshelf you wish to use it on.

Freezing and storing food

40

Maximum freezing capacityTo ensure that fresh food placed in thefreezer freezes through to the core asquickly as possible, the maximumfreezing capacity must not be ex-ceeded. The maximum freezing capa-city for freezing within a 24-hour periodis given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-pacity ... kg/24 hrs”.

Freezing fresh foodFresh food should be frozen as quicklyas possible. This way the nutritionalvalue of the food, its vitamin content,appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freezewill lose more water from its cells,which then shrink. During the defrostingprocess, only some of this water is re-absorbed by the cells. What this meansin practice is that the food loses moremoisture. You can see this in the largeamount of water that collects aroundthe food when it defrosts.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells haveless time to lose moisture, so theyshrink less. As there is not so muchmoisture loss, it is easier for the food toreabsorb it during the defrosting pro-cess, and very little water collectsaround the defrosted food.

Storing frozen food

Never re-freeze partially or fully de-frosted food. Defrosted food mayonly be re-frozen after it has beencooked.

When buying frozen food to store inyour freezer, check:

- That the packaging is not damaged

- The use-by date

- The temperature at which the frozenfood is being stored in the shop.

The length of time food can be keptis reduced if it has been stored at atemperature warmer than -18 °C.

Buy frozen food once you have fin-ished the rest of your shopping andwrap it in newspaper or use a coolbag or cool box to transport it.

Put it into the freezer as soon as pos-sible.


41

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in agood condition.

Hints on home freezing

- The following types of food are suit-able for freezing:Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, ve-getables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairyproducts, cakes, leftovers, egg yolks,egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.

- The following types of food are notsuitable for freezing:Grapes, lettuce, radishes, souredcream, mayonnaise, eggs in theirshells, onions, whole raw apples andpears.

- To retain colour, taste, aroma and vit-amin C, vegetables should beblanched before they are frozen. Todo so place them portion by portioninto boiling water for 2–3 minutes.Remove, and plunge into ice-coldwater to cool quickly. Drain and packready for freezing.

- Lean meat freezes better than fattymeat, and can be stored for consid-erably longer.

- Separate chops, steaks, cutlets etc.with a sheet of plastic freezer film.This prevents them from freezing to-gether in a block.

- Do not salt or season raw food orblanched vegetables before freezing.Cooked food should only be lightlysalted and seasoned. Some herbs in-tensify the taste of food when frozen.

- Placing hot foods or drinks in thefreezer causes food that is alreadyfrozen to partially thaw and increasesenergy consumption. Allow hot foodsand drinks to cool down before pla-cing them in the freezer.

Packaging food for freezing

Freeze food in portions.

– Suitable packing material

- Plastic freezer bags

- Tubular polythene freezer bags

- Aluminum foil

- Freezer containers

– Unsuitable packing material

- Wrapping paper

- Greaseproof paper

- Cellophane

- Bin bags

- Plastic carrier bags

Expel as much air as possible fromthe packaging.

Close the packaging tightly with

- Rubber bands

- Plastic clips

- String

- Freezer tape

Tip: Freezer bags may also be sealedusing home heat sealing kits.

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


42

Before placing food in the appliance

When freezing more than 2 kg offresh food, switch on the SuperFreezefunction for some time before placingthe food in the freezer (see “Super-Freeze function” in “Using Super-Freeze and DynaCool”).

This helps food which is already storedin the freezer to stay frozen.

Placing frozen food in the freezer

Risk of damage caused by load-ing too much food.Loading food which is too heavy cancause damage to the freezer draw-ers/glass shelves.Do not exceed the relevant maximumload size:Freezer drawer = 25 kgGlass shelf = 35 kg

Unfrozen food should not touchfrozen food as this will cause thefrozen food to begin to thaw.

To prevent food sticking togetherwhen frozen, make sure that thepackaging and containers are dry.

– Freezing small amounts of food

Place the food in the lower freezerdrawers.

Place the food flat in the bottom ofthe freezer drawers so that it freezesthrough to the core as quickly as pos-sible.

– Freezing the maximum amount offood (see data plate)

If the ventilation slots are blocked thecooling performance will decreaseand energy consumption will in-crease.When placing food in the freezer,make sure that the ventilation slotsare not blocked.

Remove the upper freezer drawers.

Place the food flat on the upper glassshelves so that it freezes through tothe core as quickly as possible.

Once frozen:

Place the frozen food in the freezerdrawer and push it back in.


43

Storage time for frozen food

Food group Storage time(Months)

Ice cream 2 to 6

Bread, baked goods 2 to 6

Cheese 2 to 4

Fish, oily 1 to 2

Fish, lean 1 to 5

Sausage, ham 1 to 3

Game, pork 1 to 12

Poultry, beef 2 to 10

Vegetables, fruit 6 to 18

Herbs 6 to 10

The storage times given are guidelines only.

For standard freezing results, follow theadvice on packaging.

By keeping the freezer zone at a con-stant temperature of -18 °C and takingappropriate hygiene measures you canmaximise the storage life of your foodand avoid food waste.

Defrosting frozen goods

Never re-freeze partially or fully de-frosted food. Defrosted food may onlybe re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Frozen goods can be defrosted in differ-ent ways:

- In a microwave oven

- In an oven using “Fan heat” or the“Defrost” setting

- At room temperature

- In the refrigerator zone (the coldgiven off by the frozen food helps tokeep the other food cold)

- In a steam oven

Flat pieces of partially thawed meator fish can be placed directly into a hotfrying pan.

Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken,fish fillets) should not come into contactwith other foods while defrosting. Catchthe liquid from defrosting and disposeof it carefully.

Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-perature in its packaging, or in acovered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked whilestill frozen. Just put straight into boilingwater or hot fat. The cooking time isslightly less than that of fresh veget-ables due to changes in the cell struc-ture.


44

Cooling drinks quickly

To cool drinks quickly, place them in therefrigerator section and switch on theSuper cool function.

When cooling drinks quickly in thefreezer, make sure bottles are not left infor more than one hour. Otherwisethey could burst.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Removing the drawers and glassplates from the freezer section

The drawers can be removed for filling,emptying or cleaning purposes.

You can also use the space in thefreezer section more flexibly. If you wishto freeze large items such as a turkey orgame, the glass cold plates betweenthe drawers can be removed.

Pull out the drawers as far as they willgo, and then lift them up and out.

Lift the glass plate slightly, pull it for-wards and out.

Using accessories

Using the cool pack

The cool pack prevents the temperaturein the freezer zone from rising tooquickly in the event of a power cut. Thiscan help prolong the storage life.

Place the cool pack in the top drawerof the freezer zone.

The cool pack will be at its most effect-ive after it has been in the freezer forapprox. 24 hours.

– In the event of a power cut

Place the frozen cool pack directly ontop of the frozen food in the front ofthe top drawer.

Tip: When placing fresh food in thefreezer, use the cool pack to separatethe fresh food from the food which isalready frozen so that the frozen fooddoes not begin to thaw.


45

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray three quartersfull with water and place it on the bot-tom of one of the freezer drawers.

Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,for example a spoon handle, to re-move the ice tray from the freezer if itis stuck.

Tip: Ice cubes can be removed easilyfrom the tray by holding it under runningwater for a short time.

Defrosting

46

Refrigerator sectionThe refrigerator section defrosts auto-matically.

Condensate and frost can build up onthe back wall of the refrigerator sectionwhilst the compressor is running. Youdo not need to remove this. The con-densate is drained away through achannel and drain hole, then fed into anevaporation system at the back of theappliance where it evaporates automat-ically with the warmth generated by thecompressor.

Freezer sectionThe appliance is equipped with a“NoFrost” system. The freezer defrostsautomatically.

The moisture generated in the appli-ance collects on the condenser and isautomatically defrosted and dissipatedfrom time to time.

This automatic defrosting system en-ables the freezer to remain permanentlyice-free. Food stored in the freezer willnot defrost with this system.

Cleaning and care

47

Do not let water get into the elec-tronic module or the lighting.

Risk of damage due to moistureingress.The steam from a steam cleaner candamage plastic and and electricalcomponents.Do not use a steam cleaner to cleanthe refrigeration appliance.

Cleaning water must not get into thedrain hole.

The data plate located inside the in-terior cabinet of the refrigeration appli-ance must not be removed. It containsinformation which is required in theevent of a fault.

Cleaning agents

Cleaning and conditioning agentsused inside the appliance must befood safe.

To avoid damaging all the surfaces ofyour appliance, do not use:

These accessories should all be handwashed.

Cleaning and care

49

Risk of damage as a result of ex-cessively high dishwasher temperat-ures.Parts of the refrigeration appliancemay become unusable, e.g. deform,if they are washed in the dishwasherat more than 55 °C.For dishwasher-safe parts, only usedishwasher programmes with a max-imum temperature of 55 °C.

Contact with natural dyes from car-rots, tomatoes and ketchup, etc., maydiscolour the plastic parts in the dish-washer. This discolouration does notaffect the stability of the parts.

The following parts can be cleaned inthe dishwasher:

- the bottle holder, butter dish, eggtray, ice cube tray(depending on model)

- the bottle shelf and shelves in thedoor (with stainless steel trim re-moved)

- the adjustable shelves (without whiteprotective strips)

- the holder for the charcoal filters

Leave the door open to air the appli-ance for a short while and to preventodours building up.

Cleaning the front of the appli-ance and the side panels

If soiling is left on for any length oftime, it may become impossible toremove. Surfaces may suffer discol-ouration or damage.Therefore, it is best to remove soilingfrom the appliance front and sidepanels immediately.

All surfaces are susceptible toscratching. Contact with unsuitablecleaning agents can alter or discol-our the surfaces.See the information on “Cleaningagents” at the beginning of this sec-tion.

Clean the surfaces with a cleansponge and a solution of warm waterand washing-up liquid. A clean, dampmicrofibre cloth without cleaningagent can also be used.

After cleaning, wipe with clean waterand dry with a soft cloth.

Tip: The charcoal filter holder is dish-washer-safe.

Pull the charcoal filter holder upwardsto remove it from the adjustable shelf.

When in position, the charcoal filtersmust not touch the rear wall of therefrigeration appliance as the mois-ture could cause them to stick to it.Insert the new charcoal filters deepenough in the holder to ensure thatthey do not protrude over the edgeof the holder.

Remove both charcoal filters andplace the new filters with the sur-rounding edge pointing downwards inthe holder.

Place the holder in the middle of theraised edge at the back of the ad-justable shelf, so that it clicks into po-sition.

Problem solving guide

52

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easilyremedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not beneeded.

The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,and to correct it.

To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the doorwhile waiting for the appliance to be serviced.

Problem Cause and remedy

The appliance is notgetting cold and the in-terior lighting does notcome on when the dooris opened.

The appliance has not been switched on. Switch the appliance on.

The mains plug is not inserted in the socket correctlyor the plug connector is not inserted into the socketat the back of the appliance correctly. Insert the mains plug into the mains socket and

the plug connector into the appliance socket cor-rectly and switch on.

Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. Therecould be a fault with the appliance, the householdelectrical wiring or another electrical appliance. Contact a qualified electrician or Miele.

The compressor runscontinuously.

This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressorruns at a lower speed, but for longer, when lesscooling is required.

The compressor isswitching on more fre-quently and for longerperiods of time. Thetemperature in the refri-geration appliance istoo low.

The ventilation gaps have been covered or becometoo dusty. Do not block the ventilation gaps. Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.

The appliance doors have been opened too fre-quently, or a large amount of fresh food has beenplaced inside and/or frozen at the same time. Only open the appliance doors when necessary

and for as short a time as possible.

After a while, the temperature will return to normal byitself.

The appliance doors are not closed properly. A thicklayer of ice may have formed in the freezer. Close the appliance doors.


53


After a while, the temperature will return to normal byitself.

If a thick layer of ice has already formed, this will af-fect cooling and increase energy consumption. Defrost the refrigeration appliance and clean it.

The ambient room temperature is too high. Thehigher the ambient temperature, the longer the com-pressor has to run. See “Installation – Location”.

The temperature setting in the refrigeration applianceis too low. Correct the temperature setting.

A large amount of food is being frozen at once. See “Freezing and storing food”.

The SuperCool function is still switched on. You can switch off the SuperCool function earlier

to save energy.

The SuperFreeze function is still switched on. You can switch off the SuperFreeze function earlier

to save energy.

The compressor comeson less and less oftenand for shorter periodsof time. The temperat-ure in the refrigerationappliance rises.

This is not a fault. The temperature setting is toohigh. Correct the temperature setting. Check the temperature again after 24 hours.

The frozen food begins to defrost. The ambient temperature is too low for this refrigera-tion appliance. If the ambient temperature is too low, the com-pressor will run less frequently. This may cause thefreezer section to become too warm. See the information in “Installation – Installation

site”. Increase the ambient temperature.

The door seal is dam-aged or needs to be re-placed.

No tools are required to change the door seal. Change the door seal. A replacement is available

from Miele or from specialist retailers.


54


Ice or condensation hasbuilt up inside the refri-geration appliance. Theappliance door may notclose correctly.

The door seal has come out of its groove. Check that the door seal is correctly positioned in

the groove.

The door seal is damaged. Check whether the door seal is damaged.

An LED indicator light isflashing at the back ofthe refrigeration appli-ance at the bottom nearthe compressor (de-pending on model). The electronic unit forthe compressor isequipped with an oper-ation and fault dia-gnosis LED indicatorlight.

The indicator light flashes several times every5 seconds. A fault has occurred. Call the Miele Customer Service Department.

The indicator light flashes regularly every15 seconds. Not a fault. This flashing is normal.

T +16 to +43 °C

A lower ambient temperature leads tothe compressor switching off for longerperiods. This can cause the internaltemperature in the refrigeration appli-ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-orating and going off.

Ventilation

Risk of fire and damage due toinsufficient ventilation.If the refrigeration appliance is notventilated sufficiently, the com-pressor will run more frequently andfor longer periods. This will result inincreased energy consumption and ahigher operating temperature for thecompressor. This may, in turn, causedamage to the compressor.Please ensure that there is adequateventilation around the refrigerationappliance.It is essential to observe the requiredventilation gaps.The ventilation gaps must not becovered or blocked in any way.They must also be regularly dusted.

Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-ance gets warm.

Door opening angle limiter

The opening angle of the appliancedoors can be limited to approx. 90° or110° using the door opening angle lim-iter. This will prevent an appliance doorfrom hitting an adjacent wall and beingdamaged when opened, for example.

The door opening angle limiter is avail-able from Miele or your Miele dealer.

Electrical connectionThe appliance is supplied with a mainscable and moulded plug ready for con-nection to an AC single-phase 220–240 V 50 Hz supply.

The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.

This appliance must be connected to asuitable switched socket. The electricalinstallation must be in compliance withcurrent local and national safety regula-tions, (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany / BS7671 in the UK). We recommend theuse of a suitable RCD .

The socket must not be concealed be-hind the appliance and must be easilyaccessible so that the appliance can bequickly disconnected from the electricalsupply in case of an emergency.

If the socket is no longer accessibleafter installation, an additional means ofdisconnection must be provided for allpoles. Suitable means of disconnectioninclude switches with an all-pole con-tact gap of at least 3 mm. These in-clude miniature circuit breakers, fusesand contactors (EN 60335).

The mains plug and mains connectioncable must not come into contact withthe back of the appliance as vibrationscan cause damage to these compon-ents. This could result in a short circuit.

Do not plug in other appliances behindthis appliance.

Do not connect the appliance to themains electricity supply by an extensionlead. Extension leads do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance(e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not connect the appliance to astand-alone inverter such as those usedwith an autonomous energy source e.g.solar power.When the appliance is switched on,power surges could result in a safetyswitch-off. This could damage the elec-tronic module. The appliance must notbe used with so-called energy savingdevices either. These reduce theamount of energy supplied to the appli-ance, causing it to overheat.

If the mains cable needs to be replaced,this must be performed by a qualifiedelectrician.
