How to save energy 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 ideal ambient room temperature is approx. 20°C. Where there is a high ambient room temperature. Temperature setting with a thermostat which is approximate (set in stages). With a medium setting of 2 to 3.
How to save energy Defrosting 14 Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption Defrost the freezer compartment when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick has built up. A layer of ice hinders the cold from reaching the frozen food, and causes an increase in energy consumption.
Switching on and off Before using for the first time 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 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, ^ close the stopcock for the water inlet, ^ clean the appliance out and ^ leave the doors ajar to air 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 and hold the Super freeze button for approx. 5 seconds.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed. An alarm will sound and at the same time the temperature display for the freezer section will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.
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. This includes: – Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines/eggplant, peppers/capsicum, tomatoes and cucumbers Storing food correctly Food should generally be stored covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells from affecting other foods, food from drying out, and also any cross-contamination of bacteria.
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 Cooling drinks Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: To cook drinks quickly, place them in the refrigerator section, and switch on the Super cool function. If bottles are, however, placed in the freezer section for rapid cooling, make sure they are not left in for more than one hour, as they could burst.
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 top drawer of the freezer section, 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. If there is a power cut, place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the top drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.
Ice cube maker For the automatic ice cube maker to operate it must be connected to the mains water supply. Switching on ^ Switch on the freezer section. ^ Open the top left drawer in the freezer section. To ensure that the water pipes are thoroughly flushed through before use, ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes must not be consumed. This applies not only to when the appliance is installed for the first time but also if the appliance has been out of use for a longer period (e.g.
Ice cube maker Switching off the ice cube maker The ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes. ^ Press the On/Off button on the ice cube maker until the indicator light goes out. If the ice cube maker is switched off, the ice cube drawer can be used as an extra drawer for freezing fresh food and storing frozen 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. The indicator light will flash. ^ Push the ice cube drawer in as far as it will go within the next 60 seconds.
Cleaning and care Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Door seals Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time. The door seals should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
