Switching on and off Before using for the first time Switching on The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation. ^ Do not remove this foil until the appliance has been built in. ^ Treat the stainless steel surfaces with a proprietary stainless steel conditioner immediately after removing the foil (available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele.co.uk).
Switching on and off Activating or de-activating the safety lock 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: ^ Press and hold the Super cool button pressed in for approx. 5 seconds. The Super cool indicator light flashes, and a ; flashes in the temperature display. ^ Press the Super cool button again. ; will light up in the display.
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 Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of the button, the current average temperature of the refrigerator is automatically shown. 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.
The correct temperature Temperature display During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the average temperature in the refrigerator. If the temperature is not within the range that the appliance is able to display, bars will flash in the temperature display. ^ You can now adjust the level of brightness by pressing the temperature selector buttons. You can choose from settings 1 to 5: 1: dimmest setting, 5: brightest setting. ^ Press the Super cool button to save the setting.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with an alarm to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open and to prevent stored food becoming too warm. The alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than approx. 60 seconds. The alarm will stop as soon as the door is closed. If you want to keep the door open for more than approx. 60 seconds, intentionally, we recommend that you switch the alarm off. Switching the alarm off early ^ Press the alarm off button. The alarm will stop.
Super cool Super cool Switching off Super cool 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). The Super cool function will switch itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours. The indicator light will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again. Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
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 automatic dynamic cooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. For this reason, 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. This includes: – Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers – Fruit which is not yet ripe – Potatoes – Some hard cheeses, e.g.
Using the PerfectFresh zone For every type of food, there are ideal storage conditions to ensure it stays fresh as long as possible, retaining both flavour and vitamins. The important factors for this are the storage temperature and the humidity. What are the advantages of the PerfectFresh zone? The correct combination of temperature and humidity is a unique feature of the PerfectFresh zone. Food can be stored for up to three times longer in the PerfectFresh zone than in a standard refrigerator.
Using the PerfectFresh zone Always keep these foods covered or wrapped. Exception: Meat. The surface of the meat dries out slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria, which results in the meat lasting longer. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination and meat deteriorating, do not let one type of meat come into direct contact with another type. Humidity-controlled compartment The humidity-controlled compartment has a regulator which is used to adjust the relative humidity.
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 PerfectFresh zone compartments Adjusting the condiment tray/bottle shelf The compartments in the PerfectFresh zone are on telescopic rails, and can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. ^ Lift the tray/shelf up and out of the stainless steel frame to remove. ^ Pull out the compartment as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage.
Adjusting the interior fittings Universal container Moving the bottle divider (depending on model) (depending on model) The universal container can be used both to store and serve food. The bottle divider can be moved to the left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut. The bottle divider can be removed completely (e.g. for cleaning). ^ To do this, push up the front edge of the bottle divider, and disengage it.
Automatic defrost Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh zone The refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone defrost automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Cleaning and care E-Cloth Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. ^ A microfibre “E-Cloth” is available from the Miele Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.
Cleaning and care After cleaning ^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a suitable non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. ^ Replace all shelves and accessories in the appliance. ^ To help prevent re-soiling, a conditioning agent for stainless steel should always be used after cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the label. ^ Switch on the Super cool function for a while so that the appliance can cool down quickly.
