How to save energy Installation site Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption In a ventilated room. In an enclosed, unventilated room. Protected from direct sunlight. In direct sunlight. Not near to a heat source (radiator, oven). Near to a heat source (radiator, oven). Where the ideal ambient room Where there is a high temperature is approx. 20°C. ambient room temperature. Ventilation gaps uncovered and dusted regularly. Ventilation gaps covered or dusty.
How to save energy Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption Use Drawers, shelves and racks arranged as they were when the appliance was delivered. Only open the doors when necessary and for as short a time as possible. Store food in an organised way. Frequent opening of the door for long periods will cause a loss of coldness. The appliance works harder to cool down and the compressor runs for longer periods.
Switching on and off Before using for the first time Protective foil On stainless steel appliances, the outer surfaces are also covered with protective foil. Operating the appliance A light touch of the finger on the sensors is all that is required to operate this appliance. Switching on ^ Do not remove the foil until the appliance has been positioned in its final location.
Switching on and off Cool pack Settings mode Place the cool pack in the top freezer drawer 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. Certain settings on the appliance can only be selected in the settings mode. Switching off ^ Touch the On/Off sensor until all of the indicators go out. The lighting will not come on when you open the door and the cooling process will be switched off.
Switching on and off Switching the sensor tones on/off The sensor tone which sounds each time a sensor is touched can be deactivated. ^ Touch and leave your finger on the X sensor. ^ At the same time, briefly touch the On/Off sensor (without letting go of the X sensor). ^ Leave your finger on the X sensor for another 5 seconds until c appears in the display. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until b appears in the display. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor again.
Switching on and off You have now left the settings mode. The safety lock indicator X will light up in the temperature display when the safety lock has been activated. 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.
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 of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted.
The correct temperature 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.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the appliance cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open. Switching the temperature alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually. Temperature alarm An alarm will sound if the temperature becomes too warm.
Alarm Door alarm The alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than approx. 2 minutes. The alarm off sensor will light up red and the "Freezing" symbol will flash. The alarm will stop and the indicators will go out as soon as the door is closed. Switching the door alarm off early If the noise of the door alarm disturbs you, you can switch it off early if you wish. ^ Touch the alarm off sensor. The alarm will stop.
Super freeze Super freeze Switching off Super freeze Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. The Super freeze function will switch off automatically after a minimum of 30 hours and a maximum of 65 hours. The appliance will then continue to work at normal power. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Super freeze is not necessary: – when placing food in the freezer that is already frozen.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Isolation plate 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".
Freezing and storing food Example Storing frozen food If you only require 3 freezer drawers as well as the freezer tray for storing frozen food: When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check ^ Place food in the top 3 freezer drawers, leaving the other drawers empty. – that the packaging is not damaged, – the use-by date, – the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop.
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 Before placing food in the freezer ^ 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 (see "Super freeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost. Placing food in the freezer Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is preferable to use the upper drawers. The top freezer drawer can be loaded with a maximum of 15 kg of food.
Freezing and storing food Defrosting Ice cubes Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in a microwave oven, – in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, – at room temperature, – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold), – 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.
Freezing and storing food Freezer tray Cool pack The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries, herbs and vegetables. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted. 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 top drawer of the freezer, directly on top of the food. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
Defrosting This freezer is equipped with a Frost free system. The freezer defrosts automatically. The moisture generated by defrosting settles on the condensor and is automatically dissipated from time to time. This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free, however, the food stored in the freezer will not defrost.
Cleaning and care A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from Miele or www.miele-shop.com.
