Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.

In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak out into the environment.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~

The coolant system is tested for leaks. The appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.

~

This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.

Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged.

Splashes of coolant can injure the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

– avoid any open flames or anything which creates a spark,

– disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,

– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and

– contact the Service Department for advice.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

~

The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.

For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m 3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

~

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the household supply.

Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

~

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when it is correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

~

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

~

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by an extension lead or a multi-socket adapter. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

~

Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utility room). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection and cause a short circuit.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

~

This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

~

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

~

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.

~

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until after any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

~

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger to users. Installation, maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

~

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

~

The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~

The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges

(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.

The climate range of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the compressor switching off for longer periods so that the appliance cannot maintain the required temperature.

~

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

~

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

~

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of sparking and explosion.

~

Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.

~

If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

~

Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage instructions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.

Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer's packaging regarding storage conditions and "use-by" dates.

~

Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.

Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Cleaning and care

~

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal, as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time.

~

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~

Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– lift frozen food and remove ice trays.

They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

~

Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

~

Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

Disposal of your old appliance

~

Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or lock unusable.

This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

~

Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

– puncturing the refrigerant channels in the evaporator,

– bending any pipework,

– scratching the surface coating.

Leaking refrigerant can damage the eyes.

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 temperature in the appliance will rise:

– the more often the door is opened and the longer it is kept open,

– the more food that is stored in it,

– the warmer the food is which is being put into it,

– the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance.

The appliance is designed for use in specific ambient temperatures

(climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

. . . in the refrigerator and the

MasterFresh drawers

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C in the refrigerator.

The temperature in the MasterFresh drawers is controlled automatically and is maintained at 1.5 °C.

Dynamic cooling

The dynamic cooling fan automatically switches on when the cooling system for the refrigerator switches on. It distributes the temperature in the appliance to all areas more evenly so that all the food will be chilled to about the same degree.

Setting the temperature in the refrigerator

^ Touch the access sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.

^ Touch the sensor for the refrigerator zone so that it is highlighted in yellow.

^ The temperature inside the appliance can be selected by touching the arrow sensors on either side of the temperature display.

By touching the

X sensor: the temperature will get colder

The temperature range being set will flash in the display as you do this.

22

The correct temperature

– Touching the sensor once: adjusts the temperature shown in

1 °C steps.

– Keeping your finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously.

If the highest or lowest temperature that it is possible to set is reached, the X or

Y sensor will disappear from the display.

Temperature

(Fahrenheit/Celsius)

The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.

^ Touch the access sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the

required temperature.

When 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, as it will take this long for the appliance to reach the temperature. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted:

– In the refrigerator section from 2 °C to 8 °C

The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high, the appliance may not reach the lowest temperature.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the

required temperature.

The temperature display will flash if

– a different temperature is being set,

– the temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.

This loss of coldness is no cause for concern if it is due to the door being left open for a while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food.

^ Touch the access sensor again.

You have now left settings mode.

The door alarm is automatically disabled when the appliance is in settings mode. As soon as the door is closed, the door alarm is activated again.

27

Storing food in the refrigerator section

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, making the difference between the various zones less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator is directly above the MasterFresh zone.

However, the MasterFresh drawers are even colder.

Use these areas in the refrigerator and in the MasterFresh zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.

– fish, meat, poultry,

– sausage products, ready meals,

– dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream,

– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough,

– soft cheese and other dairy products,

– pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4 °C.

28

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans).

Danger of explosion.

If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and store upright.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the appliance door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

Do not place food in front of the vents at the back of the appliance as the food could freeze and in some circumstances could burst

(e.g. bottles).

Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance, as it may freeze to the back wall.

Ensure that when placing food in the refrigerator, a gap of at least 35 mm is maintained under the ceiling of the appliance to enable the air to circulate freely.

Only use the area to the front of the refrigerator zone floor to place food temporarily. Do not leave it there, as when you shut the door it may get pushed over, causing spillages.

To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator. Make sure the the vents at the back of the appliance are not covered, as this is essential for keeping the appliance cool.

29

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Food which is not suitable for storing in a refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for storing in a refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C, as some food is sensitive to cold.

Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges loose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits hardens.

Food which does not tolerate cold temperatures includes:

– Pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangos, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit),

– Fruit which is not yet ripe,

– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumber, potatoes, peppers/capiscum, tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini,

– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored covered or packaged in the refrigerator

(there are some exceptions to this rule in the MasterFresh zone). This will prevent food smells from affecting other food, food from drying out, and also any cross-contamination of bacteria.

This is particularly important for protein-based food such as meat or fish.

The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene.

When shopping for food

The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the appliance. Always observe the use-by date and the recommended storage temperature.

Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. during transportation, should be kept to a minimum. For example, do not allow food to stay in a hot car for too long.

Tip: Take a cool bag with you when shopping and on return, place food into the appliance immediately.

30

Storing food in the MasterFresh zone

Food is stored at a lower temperature in the MasterFresh zone than in the refrigerator section. The humidity in the

MasterFresh zone compartments can also be regulated to suit the food being stored, providing ideal storage conditions and ensuring that food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins.

the water content of the food is largely retained.

Storing food in the MasterFresh drawers

^ Touch the sensor to select the

MasterFresh drawer you want to use.

Storage temperature

The optimum storage temperature for fresh food which is not sensitive to cold is 0 - 3 °C. This is the temperature range which is automatically maintained in the MasterFresh zone.

Food can be stored there at this temperature without loss of freshness for considerably longer than in a standard refrigerator, as the deterioration process is decelerated at this temperature.

The sensor for the MasterFresh drawer selected is highlighted in yellow. The sensors for the types of food you wish to store now appear:

– Left: Food which requires high humidity, such as vegetables and fruit

– Right: Food which requires low humidity, such as meat, fish and dairy produce.

Remember that the fresher the food when placed in the appliance, the longer it will stay fresh.

Humidity level

The humidity level in the MasterFresh zone will depend on

– the moisture content of the food being stored and

– the quantity of food being stored.

The humidity of food being stored is retained in the MasterFresh compartment. The closer the storage humidity is to the humidity content of the food, the crisper and fresher the food remains over a longer period, as

^ Touch the sensor for the types of food you wish to store in the

MasterFresh drawer selected.

31

Storing food in the MasterFresh zone

^ You can deselect the type of food by touching the relevant sensor again.

You cannot store food that likes high humidity in a drawer with food that prefers a dry atmosphere. However, you can store different food from the same humidity/dry group together.

^ The food can now be placed in the

MasterFresh drawer.

Food that prefers a higher humidity include:

– Freshly picked vegetables, lettuce, herbs, mushrooms, cabbages and fruit.

TIP

The level of humidity in the

MasterFresh drawer depends on the moisture content and quantity of the food being stored.

For smaller quantities it is best to store food wrapped.

Food that prefers a dry atmosphere include:

– fresh fish, shellfish, meat, poultry, sausages, dairy products and speciality salads.

Please note that food rich in protein deteriorates faster than others.

Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

Always keep these types of food

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.

Take food out of the MasterFresh zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.

32

Storing food in the MasterFresh zone

The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):

^ Only use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh.

^ Clean the MasterFresh zone before placing food in it.

^ Allow very moist food to drain before storing it.

^ Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the MasterFresh zone

(see "Food which is not suitable for storing in a refrigerator")

^ Bear in mind that not all types of food can be stored together (see "Food which is not suitable for storing in a refrigerator").

^ Organise the food to be stored into groups requiring lower of higher humiidity.

^ High humidity is only achieved in the MasterFresh zone with the moisture from the food which is stored in it.

If the humidity is not high enough, because, for example, too little food has been stored in the compartment, you can use a wet sponge to increase the humidity.

With small amounts of food it makes sense to store it in its packaging or covered.

^ If you think that the temperature in the MasterFresh zone is too high or too low, try regulating it by altering the temperature of the refrigerator section by 1 to

2 °C.

The temperature must be increased if ice crystals start to form on the floor of the

MasterFresh zone as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

^ If a lot of water has gathered on the base of the MasterFresh zone, dry the base with a towel. Drain food before storage or place a rack on the floor of the

MasterFresh zone and place the food on the rack so that the moisture can drip down.

33
