Switching on The refrigerator and freezer sections are switched on together by pressing the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel. ^ Carefully remove the protective foil from them.
Switching on and off To switch the refrigerator section off separately Activating or de-activating the safety lock The refrigerator section can be switched off without having to switch off the freezer section. This is useful e.g. whilst on holiday. ^ Press and hold the Super freeze button for approx. 5 seconds. ^ Press the On/Off button for the refrigerator section on the left hand side of the control panel until the temperature display for the refrigerator section goes out.
Switching on and off Switching off for longer periods of time If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday: ^ Switch the appliance off, ^ disconnect it from the mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the mains fuse, ^ clean the appliance out and ^ leave the doors ajar to air 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 correct temperature – 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, average temperature of the refrigerator or 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.
The correct temperature Temperature display brightness The display goes out when the door is closed. The appliance is supplied with the brightness of the temperature display set as low as possible. However, if the door is opened, a setting changed or if the alarm is sounding, the temperature display will appear much brighter for approx. 1 minute. The level of brightness can be adjusted: ^ Press and hold the Super freeze button for approx. 5 seconds.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer section, the alarm switches off and the temperature display stops flashing and lights up constantly. Door alarm Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.
Using Super cool, Super freeze and Dynamic cooling Super cool Super freeze The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for the faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Using Super cool, Super freeze and Dynamic cooling 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 60 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.
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. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. This appliance has Dynamic cooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. When Dynamic cooling is switched on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for refrigeration, as some food is sensitive to cold. Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruit hardens.
Using the refrigerator efficiently – 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. Example: Broccoli should not be stored with apples, as apples produce a large amount of natural gas to which broccoli is very sensitive.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves To move the split shelf: The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Take both halves of the split glass shelf out, ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.
Adjusting the interior fittings Adjusting the condiment tray/bottle shelf ^ Lift the tray/shelf up and out of the stainless steel frame to remove. Universal container The universal container can be used both to store and serve food. ^ Push up the stainless steel frame, and remove. ^ Replace the frame at the required height. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. It consists of a deep tray a and a shallow tray b. Both trays fit the stainless steel frame.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Storing frozen food To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: "Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs". When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check The maximum capacity quoted is calculated in accordance with DIN EN ISO 15502.
Freezing and storing food 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.
Freezing and storing food ^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Before placing food in the freezer ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost.
Freezing and storing food Freezer calendar The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time in months which various foods can be stored for effectively. Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging. 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.
Freezing and storing food Ice cubes Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. This can help to prolong the storage time. ^ Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer. ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers. ^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer.
Automatic defrost Refrigerator section Freezer section The refrigerator defrosts automatically. This appliance is equipped with a "Frost free" system. The freezer section defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance.
Cleaning and care To help prevent re-soiling, treat stainless steel surfaces with Miele's conditioning agent for stainless steel (available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com). Do not let water get into the electronic unit or the light. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning.
