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.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, read the operating instructions carefully before installation and before using for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Warning and Safety instructions Use Never handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. Danger of frost burn. Do not take ice cubes out with your 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 allow children to play with the appliance, for example to climb inside the drawers or to swing on the door.
Warning and Safety instructions 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.
How to save energy Installation normal energy consumption increased energy consumption In a ventilated room. In an enclosed, unventilated room. Protected from direct sunlight. In direct sunlight. Not situated near to a heat source (radiator, oven). Situated near to a heat source (radiator, oven). Where the ambient room temperature is ideal at approx. 20°C. Where there is a high ambient room temperature. Temperature setting with With a medium setting of 2 to 3.
Switching on and off Before using for the first time The stainless steel surface has a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation. ^ Do not remove this foil until the appliance has been installed or built in. Start at one of the upper corners. ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with warm water and a little washing up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth.
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. 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.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed. An alarm will sound and the alarm indicator light will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. The alarm may sound and the alarm indicator light may flash, – if you freeze a large amount of food at once without having switched on the Super freeze function beforehand. Depending on the temperature in the freezer, you should check the condition of the food.
Super freeze Freezing fresh food Switching on Super freeze 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. When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, 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.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Home freezing 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". Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.
Freezing and storing food – Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food 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.
Freezing and storing food Freezer calendar Defrosting The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored for effectively. Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: 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.
Freezing and storing food Ice cubes Freezer tray (depending on model) 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. ^ Press down the release button on the ice cube tray and fill the tray with water. Any excess will flow out through the outlet. ^ Now pull the release button up to seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
Freezing and storing food 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.
Defrosting In normal use ice and frost will form on the evaporator plates. If allowed to accumulate, this will impair the efficiency of the freezer and increase the consumption of electricity. Do not scrape ice and frost off the evaporator plates as this can damage the evaporator plates and the freezer making it unusable. The freezer should be defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has accumulated.
Defrosting To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot water (not boiling) can be placed in the appliance. We do not recommend the use of hot air blowers such as hairdryers for defrosting your freezer. Never 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 as they could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts and which may cause the build up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Cleaning and care 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 water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the ventilation gaps.
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. After cleaning ^ Close the appliance door, insert the plug in the socket and switch the appliance back on.
Problem solving guide . . . the temperature is too low. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. ^ Turn the temperature selector to a setting closer to "0". ^ Super freeze has not yet switched itself off.
Problem solving guide ^ the compressor is faulty. Call the Service Department. Depending on the temperature in the freezer, you should check the condition of the food. If food has defrosted or started to defrost check that it is still safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly as possible. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. If you still cannot remedy the fault having followed these suggestions, please contact the Miele Service Department.
Noises Normal noises What causes them Brrrrr... Humming noise made by the motor (compressor). This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on. Blubb, blubb.... A gurgling noise can be heard when coolant is circulating through the pipes. Click.... Clicking sounds are made when the thermostat switches the motor on and off. Sssrrrrr.... On multi-zone and frost free appliances you can sometimes just hear the movement of air circulating inside the appliance.
