Before using for the first time Before using for the first time Packaging material Remove all packaging material from the inside of the appliance. Protective foil The appliance is covered with a special foil to protect it during transportation. Do not remove the foil until the appliance has been positioned in its final location. Cleaning the appliance Please refer to the relevant instructions in “Cleaning and care”. Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories.
Switching on and off Switching on To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for approx. 2 hours before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer until it has reached the required coldness (at least -18 °C). Press the button. The appliance will start to cool and the temperature required will appear in the temperature display.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for long periods, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of bacteria is generally halted.
The correct temperature Temperature display The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required temperature. The temperature can be adjusted from -15 °C to -32 °C. The temperature display will flash if: - The temperature is not within the range that can be displayed, e.g. because the refrigeration appliance has just been switched on. - A different temperature has just been set.
Using Super freeze The Super freeze function can also be switched on. Switching on Super freeze Super freeze function The Super freeze symbol lights up. For optimum results switch on the Super freeze function before putting fresh food into the freezer section. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.
Temperature and door alarm The appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open. Temperature alarm If the temperature in the freezer becomes too warm, the temperature display and the alarm symbol will flash. An alarm tone will also sound. The temperature the refrigeration appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.
Selecting further settings Settings mode Certain settings on the appliance can only be selected in settings mode. To adjust the brightness of the display Activating or deactivating the lock Press the button for setting the temperature repeatedly until the brightness level you want is reached. The more fields that are lit up in the temperature display, the brighter the display. Press the SuperFreeze button briefly to confirm your choice.
Selecting further settings Activating or deactivating the – To deactivate the lock The lock function can be activated to prevent the appliance being switched off by mistake. Press the Super freeze button for approx. 5 seconds. – To activate the lock Press the Super freeze button for approx. 5 seconds. The menu symbol lights up. Settings mode is now active. The lock symbol flashes. Press the Super freeze button briefly to access the lock function. The lock symbol lights up.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity 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”. 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 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. - The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, soured cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
Freezing and storing food Before placing food in the appliance When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see “SuperFreeze”). This helps create a cold reserve in food which is already stored in the freezer. Placing food in the freezer section If the food is too heavy, this can cause damage. Loading food which is too heavy can cause damage to the freezer drawers/glass shelves.
Freezing and storing food Storage time for frozen food Defrosting frozen goods 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. This is why lean meat can be stored approx. twice as long as fatty meat.
Freezing and storing food Cooling drinks quickly Freezer tray When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury and damage. The top freezer drawer in your refrigeration appliance can be used as a freezer tray. Using accessories Making ice cubes The freezer tray can be used to gently freeze small items such as berries, herbs, vegetables, etc.
Freezing and storing food Adjusting the interior fittings Removing the drawers and glass shelves The drawers can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. You can also expand the space available in the freezer section. If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass shelves between the drawers can be removed. Pull out the drawer as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Lift the glass shelf slightly, then pull it forward and out.
Defrosting The appliance is equipped with a “NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts automatically. The moisture generated in the appliance collects on the condenser and is automatically defrosted and dissipated from time to time. This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free. Food stored in the freezer will not defrost with this system.
Cleaning and care Do not let water get into the electronic unit. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and electrical components. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance. 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. The temperature shown in the display will go out and the cooling system switches off. Take any food out of the refrigeration appliance and store it in a cool place. Take the drawers and glass plates out for cleaning. Take out all other removable parts for cleaning. Cleaning the interior and accessories The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (roughly twice a year).
Cleaning and care The following parts cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher: - all drawers and the compartment lid (depending on model) These accessories should all be hand washed. Risk of damage as a result of excessively high dishwasher temperatures. Parts of the refrigeration appliance may become unusable, e.g. deform, if they are washed in the dishwasher at more than 55 °C. For dishwasher-safe parts, only use dishwasher programmes with a maximum temperature of 55 °C.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the ventilation gaps A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (you could use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting brush, for example). Cleaning the door seal Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning. If you treat the door seal with oils or grease, it can become porous. Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal.
Cleaning and care Starting up the appliance after cleaning Slide all shelves back into the appliance. Reconnect to the mains and switch the appliance back on. Switch on the Super freeze function for a while so that the freezer section can cool down quickly. Once the temperature in the freezer has reached the required temperature, place the food back in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer. Then close the appliance door.
