Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often 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 and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse. 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.

5

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~

Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance.

A damaged appliance is dangerous.

~

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

~

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, but 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. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

- avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark,

- disconnect from the mains,

- air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

- contact Miele for advice.

~

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.

~

Safe operation of the appliance is only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

~

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains electricity supply.

This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

~

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead.

These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

7

Warning and Safety instructions

~

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by the lack of or inadequacy of an effective earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~

Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

~

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer.

Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

~

The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it has been switched off at the socket and the plug has been withdrawn, or

– the fuse from the fused spur connection unit has been withdrawn, or

– the mains fuse has been disconnected, or

– the screw-out fuse has been removed (in countries where this is applicable).

~

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

~

This appliance may only be used in mobile installations if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

~

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~

Never handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.

~

Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer.

The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.

~

Do not refreeze thawed or partially thawed food.

Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible, as food soon loses its nutritional value and goes off.

Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

~

Observe the "use by" dates 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 food manufacturers' packaging on storage conditions required, as well as the “use by” date.

~

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard. Flammable compounds could explode.

~

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

~

Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode.

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

~

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst, resulting in injury or damage.

~

Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

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

~

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 block the ventilation gaps in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

~

The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your 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, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

~

Do not 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.

~

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

~

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

The following applies to stainless steel appliances:

~

Do not place sticky notes, adhesive tape, masking tape or any other adhesive agent on the treated surface of the door.

The coating will become damaged and lose its protective properties against soiling.

~

The high quality treated surface of the door is susceptible to scratching.

Even fridge magnets can cause scratching.

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.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

How to save energy

Installation

Normal energy consumption

In a ventilated room.

Protected from direct sunlight.

Not situated near a heat source

(radiator, oven).

Increased energy consumption

In an enclosed, unventilated room.

In direct sunlight.

Situated near a heat source

(radiator, oven).

Where there is a high ambient room temperature.

Temperature setting with a thermostat which is approximate

(set in stages).

Temperature setting with a thermostat which is exact to the degree-

(digital display).

With a medium setting of 2 to 3.

Storage section 8 to 12 °C

Refrigerator section 4 to 5 °C

PerfectFresh zone just above 0 °C

Freezer section -18 °C

Wine storage section 10 to 12 °C

Use

Where the ideal ambient room temperature is approx. 20 °C.

Do not cover the cross-section of the air inlet and outlet and keep free of dust.

With a high setting: the lower the temperature in the compartment, the higher the energy consumption.

On appliances with winter setting, please make sure that the winter setting is switched off when the ambient temperature is warmer than

16 °C.

Do not change the arrangement of the drawers and shelves.

Only open the doors when necessary and for as short a time as possible.

Frequent opening of the doors for long periods will cause a loss of coldness.

Store food in an organised way.

If food is not stored in an organised way, searching for an item will mean the door is open for longer.

Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the appliance.

Store food covered or packaged.

Placing hot food in the appliance will cause the compressor to run for a long time, as the appliance will have to work harder to lower the temperature.

The evaporation or condensation of liquids will cause a loss of coldness in the refrigerator.

Defrosting

Place frozen food in the refrigerator to defrost.

Do not overfill the appliance to allow air to circulate.

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.

11

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, let it stand for between ½ and 1 hour after transporting it to its final location before connecting it to the mains.

Cool pack

Place the cool pack in the top drawer or, to save space, in the shallow freezer drawer. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

Protective foil

On stainless steel appliances, the stainless steel door and possibly the sides are covered in a protective foil.

^ Remove the protective foil only after the appliance has been installed in its intended location.

Cleaning

^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with lukewarm water and then dry with a soft cloth.

Switching off

^ Press the On/Off button until the temperature display goes out.

All the displays will go out and the cooling system will switch off.

Switching on

^ Press the On/Off button.

The temperature display and the alarm indicator light will flash until the freezer has cooled down to the correct temperature for freezing.

To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it.

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 and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the mains fuse or remove the screw-out fuse in countries where this is applicable,

^ clean the appliance out and

^ leave the door ajar to air the appliance.

If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.

12

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.

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of

-18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the micro-organisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.

Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.

The temperature in the appliance will rise:

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

– if too much food is stored in it at once,

– if too much fresh food is being frozen at once,

– 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.

Setting the temperature

^ Press the temperature button repeatedly until the indicator light for the temperature you want lights up in the display.

The temperature value will change up until the setting for -32 °C is reached. It will then drop back to the -15 °C setting.

The temperature can be set slightly colder within the displayed temperature range (e.g. between -15°C and -18 °C).

^ Press the temperature button repeatedly until the indicator light for

-15 °C lights up in the display.

^ Press the button for approx. another

5 seconds to set the temperature.

The colder temperature setting within the small temperature range is now set.

However, this is not visible in the temperature display.

13

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 in the appliance is not within the possible temperature range,

– 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 in the following circumstances:

– when the door has been left open for a while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food,

– when fresh food is being frozen.

However, if the temperature in the freezer section remains above -18 °C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started to defrost. If it has started thawing, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, use it as quickly as possible.

14

Alarm

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed. An alarm will sound, and the temperature display and the alarm indicator light 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.

For example, the alarm may sound and the alarm indicator light may flash,

– if you freeze a large amount of food at once without having switched on the SuperFreeze function beforehand.

Depending on the temperature in the freezer, you should check the condition of the food. If food has defrosted or started to defrost, check that it is still safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly as possible. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Activating the alarm system

The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.

Switching the alarm off early

The alarm will stop and the indicator light will go out when the temperature reaches the correct level again.

However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off before this if you wish.

^ Press the alarm off button.

The alarm will stop.

The indicator light will stay on until the correct temperature has been reached. The alarm system is then ready should it be needed again.

15

SuperFreeze

Switch the SuperFreeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer.

This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.

SuperFreeze is not necessary:

– when putting in food that is already frozen.

– when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily.

Switching on SuperFreeze

When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 6 hours

beforehand. When freezing the

maximum load of food, the

SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

Switching off SuperFreeze

The SuperFreeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 65 hours.

The indicator light will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again.

To save energy, the SupeFreeze function can be switched off once a

constant temperature of -18°C or colder has been reached in the freezer.

You should also check the temperature inside the appliance from time to time.

^ Press the SuperFreeze button. The

SuperFreeze indicator light will go out, and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power.

^ Press the SuperFreeze button. The

SuperFreeze indicator light will come on.

The appliance works at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.

16

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".

The maximum freezing capacity given on the data plate has been calculated according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Standard.

Isolation plate

(depending on model, available as an optional accessory)

The isolation plate is used to isolate freezer drawers which you do not wish to use, and thus save energy. It should be used if only small amounts of food are being stored in the freezer.

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells, which then shrink.

During the defrosting process, only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells; the rest collects around the food.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. As there is not so much moisture loss, it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process, and very little water collects around the defrosted food.

Important

– At least 3 freezer drawers as well as the freezer tray must be used for freezing food.

The other drawers can be isolated if they are not needed. However, no fewer than the two bottom drawers can be isolated.

– The drawers being used for freezing must always be at the top of the freezer.

– The isolation plate must be fitted

below the lowest drawer in which food is being frozen.

– The fewer drawers you use, the more energy you will save. Using the isolation plate increases energy savings considerably.

Do not store food in the "inactive" drawers. The temperature is not controlled in these drawers and food stored in them would soon deteriorate.

17

Freezing and storing food

Example

If you only require 3 freezer drawers as well as the freezer tray for storing frozen food:

^ Place food in the top 3 freezer drawers, leaving the other drawers empty.

^ Take out the fourth drawer down and place the isolation plate under the third drawer.

This "switches off" (isolates) the drawers below.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check

– that the packaging is not damaged,

– the use-by date,

– the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop. The length of time it can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18 °C.

^ Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it.

^ Store it in the freezer as soon as possible.

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

18

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.

– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C, vegetables should be blanched after they have been trimmed and washed.

To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, immerse the vegetables in the fast boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on variety. Remove, and plunge into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack ready for freezing.

– Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer.

– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

– Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.

– Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packing

^ Freeze food in portions.

Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin bags

- plastic carrier bags

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

- aluminium foil

- freezer containers

^ Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them, to prevent freezer-burn on food.

^ Close the packaging tightly with

- rubber bands

- plastic clips

- string or bag ties

- freezer tape.

Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.

^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

19

Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the

SuperFreeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer

(see "SuperFreeze").

This helps food that is already in the freezer to stay frozen.

Each drawer and glass cold plate can be loaded with a maximum of

25 kg.

If you remove a freezer drawer, make sure that you do not block the ventilation slits in the back wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance.

Placing food in the freezer

Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is preferable to use the upper drawers.

^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the glass cold plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

^ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.

Freezing large items

If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass cold plates between the drawers can be removed. To do this:

^ Remove the freezer drawers and carefully slide out the glass cold plates.

The lowest freezer drawer must always remain in the appliance.

Defrosting

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 other food cold),

– in a steam oven.

Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.

Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packaging, or in a covered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables due to changes in the cell structure.

20

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Ice cubes

Freezing and storing food

Freezer tray

The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries and vegetables. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted.

^ Fill the ice tray three-quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.

^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer.

^ Ice cubes can be removed easily from the tray by twisting the tray gently or by holding it under cold running water for a short while.

^ Space the food out loosely on the tray.

Leave the food for 10-12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a freezer bag or suitable container once frozen. Place the bag or container in the freezer drawer.

Cooling drinks

When cooling drinks quickly, make sure bottles are not left in the freezer for

more than one hour, as they could burst.

21

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 upper drawer directly on top of food, or in the freezer tray to save space. 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.

When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the cool pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw.

The cool pack can also be used in a cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.

22

This freezer is equipped with a Frost free system. The freezer defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated by defrosting collects in the condenser and is automatically dissipated by the condenser from time to time.

This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free, however, the food stored in the freezer will not defrost.

Automatic defrost

23

This discolouration will not affect the stability of the components.

^ Clean the drawers by hand as they are not dishwasher safe.

^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Leave the door open to air the appliance for a short while.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and side panels

Remove any soiling immediately.

If not, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the surface to alter or discolour.

The external surfaces of this appliance are all susceptible to scratching.

Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can also alter or discolour the outer surfaces.

^ Clean surfaces using a damp microfibre cloth or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.

^ After cleaning, wipe the outer surfaces with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

The following applies to the stainless steel door:

The appliance door is treated with a high quality surface coating. It protects against soiling and facilitates cleaning and care.

Do not use the following on the appliance door:

– Stainless steel cleaners:

The coating will be damaged.

– Miele Original Care product for stainless steel:

Visible smearing will form on the door.

Ventilation gaps

^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

Door seal

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

^ The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

25

Cleaning and care

Rear of appliance - metal grille

The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

26

Problem solving guide

Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

. . . the temperature inside the appliance is too low.

^ Turn the temperature to a higher setting.

^ SuperFreeze has not yet switched itself off. The SuperFreeze function switches itself off automatically after approx. 65 hours.

What to do if . . .

. . . the appliance does not get cool.

^ Check whether the appliance has been switched on. The temperature display must be lit up.

^ Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the socket and switched on.

^ Check that the fuse is not defective and that the mains fuse has not tripped. If it has, contact Miele.

. . . the appliance is switching in too frequently and for too long.

^ Check whether the ventilation gaps have been covered over or become dusty.

^ Check whether the metal grille (heat exchanger) at the back of the appliance has become too dusty.

^ The door has been opened too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in at once for freezing.

^ Check that the door has been closed properly.

. . . the door will not open because it has been opened and closed too many times in succession.

This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening and closing the door is preventing the door from opening. Wait a few minutes and then try again. It should now open without force.

. . . the compressor runs continuously.

To save energy, the compressor runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cooling is required.

27

Problem solving guide

. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm indicator light flashes.

The temperature in the freezer is too warm, because

^ a large amount of food has been frozen at once without switching on the SuperFreeze function.

The alarm will stop and the indicator light will go out when the temperature has reached the correct level again.

^ the compressor is faulty. Call Miele.

Depending on the temperature in the freezer, you should check the condition of the food. If food has defrosted or started to defrost, check that it is still safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly as possible. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked.

^ A large quantity of fresh food has been placed in the appliance at once.

^ There has been an increase in the humidity in the room.

Keep the door closed as much as possible so that the Frost Free system has a chance to melt the ice automatically. This may take several days.

. . . food has frozen together.

Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.

If you still cannot remedy the fault having followed these suggestions, please contact Miele.

. . . the SuperFreeze indicator light and the temperature display are both flashing at the same time.

There is a fault. Call Miele.

To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature, it is advisable not to open the door while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.

. . . the SuperFreeze indicator light does not light up, even though the appliance is working.

^ The indicator light is defective. Call

Miele.

. . . there is a build-up of frost on the front panel of the Frost free system.

This is not a fault. Droplets of condensate have settled on it and frozen. This may have been caused by one of the following:

^ The appliance door has been opened frequently or left open for a while.

28

Normal noises

Brrrrr ...

Blubb, blubb....

Click ...

Sssrrrrr ...

Crack ...

Noises

What causes them

Humming noise made by the motor (compressor). This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on.

A gurgling noise can be heard when coolant is circulating through the pipes.

Clicking sounds are made when the thermostat switches the motor on and off.

On multi-zone and frost-free appliances you can sometimes just hear the movement of the fan inside the appliance.

A cracking sound can be heard when materials expand inside the appliance.

Remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.

Noises that you can easily rectify

Rattling, vibrating

What causes them, and what can you do about them?

The appliance is uneven: Realign the appliance using a spirit level, by raising or lowering the screw feet underneath the appliance.

The appliance is touching another appliance or piece of

Installing in a side-by-side combination

To avoid a build-up of condensation and resultant damage, refrigerators and freezers should not normally be installed side-by-side.

However, this appliance has side wall heating, and can be installed side-by-side with certain other Miele appliances.

Your Chartered Agent will be able to advise you on which models are suitable.

Joining the two appliances together

You will need a spirit level, spanners, a torque screwdriver and a socket wrench.

^ Before starting, peel off any protective foil from the appliance casing.

^ Place the appliances next to one another so that the fronts are aligned, leaving a gap of 10 mm between them.

Installation

^ This appliance must be installed to the left of any refrigerator when viewed from the front. The side wall heating in the right-hand wall is designed to prevent the build-up of condensation between the two appliances.

^ Place the two appliances as close as possible to their final position so that they can be aligned for any unevenness in the floor. The back of the appliances still need to be kept accessible to complete the installation.

^ Align both appliances using a spirit level.

– Align front feet a using a spanner b.

35

Installing in a side-by-side combination

^ Close the doors to check whether the door handles are correctly aligned with one another.

The top of both appliances must be the same height. If they are not, the covers will not fit properly.

^ Push the two appliances together, and align them again.

^ Remove covers from both appliances.

^ Screw lower bracket c securely into position using screws d.

Do not move the appliances until all the brackets are securely fitted.

^ Remove covers e from both appliances.

^ Loosely screw large bracket f into position on the front at the top using long screws g.

Make pilot holes for the screws if necessary or use a battery powered screwdriver.

^ Push the two appliances together, and align them again.

^ Now tighten the screws g.

36

Installing in a side-by-side combination

^ Position wide brackets h at the top and bottom on the back, and push the top bracket upwards until it is in the correct position (z).

^ Secure the brackets at the sides using hex screws i supplied. Do

not drill holes for these screws in the appliance.

To avoid vibrations, neither the brackets nor the screws should touch the pipework on the back of the appliances.

^ Connect both appliances to the electricity supply as described under

"Electrical connection".

^ Carefully push the two appliances back into their final position. It is easier if you raise the appliances at the front, and roll them back on their rear rollers.

The height of the appliances can be aligned again if necessary.

^ Position the long stainless steel trim j in the gap, making sure that it is located above bracket c.

Pressing both ridges along the trim together as you do so makes it easier to fit the trim into the gap.

^ Align the door by sliding the hinge plate to the left or right.

^ Then tighten screws b again. Screw a does not need to be refitted.

44

Building in the appliance

The air inlet and outlet must not be covered or blocked in any way.

They should be dusted on a regular basis.

a Top box b Appliance c Housing unit d Wall

The appliance can be installed in a kitchen run. To match the height of the rest of the kitchen, the appliance can be fitted with a suitable top box a.

A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm depth must be allowed for behind the appliance across the entire width of the top box for air to circulate.

The cross section of the air outlet under the room ceiling must be at least

300 cm

2 to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance. Otherwise the appliance has to work harder, resulting in an increase in electricity consumption.

When built into a kitchen run (max.

depth 580 mm), the appliance can be installed directly next to a kitchen furniture housing unit. The appliance door will protrude in front of furniture fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by

55 mm in the middle of the door. This enables the doors to be opened and shut without being obstructed.

When installed next to a wall d, a distance of approx. 55 mm must be maintained on the hinge side between the wall d and the appliance b so that the doors and the handles have sufficient space for opening.
