Storing food in the refrigerator section Risk of explosion due to flam- Different storage zones mable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Warmest area The warmest area in the refrigerator section is at the top in the front area and in the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese. Coldest area The coldest area in the fridge zone is directly above the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of the appliance.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Notes on buying food The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum. Storing food correctly Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is covered or wrapped properly.
Adjusting the interior fittings Adjusting the door shelf/bottle shelf Adjusting the bottle holder Tip: Only move door shelves/bottle shelves in the appliance door when they are empty. Push the door shelf/bottle shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. Replace the shelf at the required height. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. The bottle holder can be moved left or right to create more room for drink cartons.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the charcoal filters Charcoal filters and a KKF-FF (Active AirClean) holder are available as optional accessories (see “Accessories optional accessories”). When storing very strong smelling food (e.g. very ripe cheese): - Place the holder with the charcoal filters on the shelf where this food is kept. - Change the filters sooner if necessary. - Use more charcoal filters (with holders) in the appliance (see “Accessories – Optional accessories”).
Freezing and storing food (depending on model) Using the freezer compartment Use the freezer compartment to: - store frozen food, - make ice cubes, - freeze small quantities of fresh food. Up to 2 kg of food can be frozen in 24 hours. Storing frozen food Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Freezing and storing food (depending on model) 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, cakes, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of precooked meals.
Freezing and storing food (depending on model) Before placing food in the appliance Storage time for frozen food Set the temperature to 4 °C or colder for approx. 4 hours before placing food in the freezer compartment and switch on the Super cool function. The storage life of food is very variable, even at a constant temperature of -18 °C. Decomposition processes also take place in frozen food, albeit at a very reduced speed. For example, fat can become rancid from contact with oxygen in the air.
Freezing and storing food (depending on model) Defrosting frozen goods Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Frozen goods can be defrosted in different ways: - In a microwave oven When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer compartment, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst.
Defrosting Refrigerator section The refrigerator section defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor. The condensate drains through a channel and drain pipe into an evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this.
Defrosting To defrost The longer the frozen goods are left out at room temperature, the faster they deteriorate. Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible. Steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to defrost the appliance. Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts. Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers.
Cleaning and care Do not let water get into the electronic module or the lighting. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and and electrical components. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance. Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole. The data plate located inside the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a fault.
Cleaning and care Preparing the refrigeration appliance for cleaning Switch the refrigeration appliance off. Dismantling an adjustable shelf Place the shelf on a worktop covered with a soft material (e.g. a tea towel). The display goes out and the cooling function is switched off. Take any food out of the refrigeration appliance and store it in a cool place. Defrost the freezer compartment (see “Defrosting”, section “Freezer compartment”). Remove the shelves and bottle shelf from the door.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the interior and accessories The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (at least once a month). Remove soiling immediately to prevent it from drying on. Clean the interior with a clean sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Risk of damage as a result of excessively high dishwasher temperatures. Parts of the refrigeration appliance may become unusable, e.g.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door seal If the door seal is damaged or has slipped out of its groove, the appliance door may not close properly and cooling performance will be reduced. As a result, condensate will build up in the interior cabinet and this can cause a build-up of ice. Do not damage the door seal and ensure it does not slip out of its groove. Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning. If you treat the door seal with oils or grease, it can become porous.
Cleaning and care Replacing the charcoal filters Charcoal filters and a KKF-FF (Active AirClean) holder are available as optional accessories (see “Accessories optional accessories”). Replace the charcoal filters in the holder every 6 months. Replacement KKF-RF charcoal filters can be obtained from the Miele Customer Service Department, from your retailer or from Miele's website. Remove both charcoal filters and place the new filters with the surrounding edge pointing downwards in the holder.
