Switching on and off Before using for the first time The stainless steel trim on 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 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, ^ switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug, ^ clean the appliance out and ^ leave the doors ajar to air the appliance. If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the doors are left shut there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside 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 the Super freeze button to save the setting.
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. Door alarm Activating the alarm system Switching the alarm off early The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually. If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish.
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. ^ Replace the tray/shelf in the frame. The tray/shelf can be removed completely and used as a serving tray at the table.
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".
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 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 Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer.
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. ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
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. ^ Space the food out loosely on the tray. Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section, directly on top of the food.
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 Before cleaning 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. ^ Switch the appliance off by pressing the master On/Off switch on the right hand side of the control panel, switch off at the socket and remove the plug. ^ Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.
Cleaning and care ^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors open to air the appliance for a short while. ^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a suitable, non-abrasive, proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent, following the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. ^ After cleaning, stainless steel surfaces should always be treated with a conditioning agent for stainless steel.
