Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complieswith statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EUguidelines.

This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a naturalgas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, itdoes not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the green-house effect.The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in thenoise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the com-pressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around thesystem. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effecton the performance of the appliance.Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of theappliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leakingcoolant can damage the eyes.In the event of any damage:

– avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark,

– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,

– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for severalminutes, and

– contact the Miele Service Department.


8

The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the largerthe room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the ap-pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gasesbuilding up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of room space isrequired. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on thedata plate inside the appliance.

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that theconnection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the dataplate corresponds to the household supply.Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consulta qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-tion tested by a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assuredif it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replacedby a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user fromdanger.

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

If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains con-nection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not oper-ate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to mois-ture (e.g in a garage or utility room).

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

Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Checkthe appliance for visible signs of damage.


9

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

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user.Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by aMiele authorised technician.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise thewarranty is invalidated.

Please note the following advice for ice cube production:

– Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot waterand other liquids could damage the water container or the icecube maker.

– Change the water in the water container regularly (if not used formore than 24 h) and always empty and refill it before switching onthe ice cube maker to ensure that the ice cubes are made withfresh water. This will prevent bacteria from building up.

– Do not use water from a reverse osmosis unit in this appliance.This could damage the refrigeration appliance.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty componentsmust only be replaced by Miele spare parts.


10

Correct use

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate in-side the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambienttemperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching offfor longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperat-ure.

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption andcould cause damage to the components.

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

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any productscontaining propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components couldcause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and explosion.

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

Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or li-quids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could ex-plode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles arenot left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, caus-ing injury or damage.

Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance withwet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or to the metal.Danger of frost burn.


11

Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never placeice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. Thevery low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burnto the lips and tongue.

Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-ted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value andspoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after ithas been cooked.

Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-tions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage timeswill depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality ofthe food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored.

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts withthis appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-facturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil-ity.

Stainless steel appliances

Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it tolose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesiveon the stainless steel surface.

The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can causescratching.


12

Cleaning and care

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

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

Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged orpointed objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

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

Switch the refrigeration appliance off.

Switch off at the wall and remove theplug from the socket, or disconnectthe mains fuse.

Empty the ice cube drawer.

Take the water container out of theappliance, empty it, then clean anddry it.

Clean the refrigeration appliance andleave the door ajar to air the appli-ance and avoid odours building up in-side.

It is also advisable to carry out the lasttwo instructions if you are switchingthe refrigerator section off for a longerperiod of time.

The correct temperature

29

It is very important to set the correcttemperature for storing food in the ap-pliance. Bacteria will cause food whichis not stored at the correct temperatureto deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-ences the growth rate of these bacteria.Reducing the temperature reduces theirgrowth rate.

The temperature in the appliance willrise:

– the more often the door is openedand the longer it is kept open,

– the more food that is stored in it,

– the warmer the food is which is beingput into it,

– the higher the ambient temperaturesurrounding the appliance. This refri-geration appliance is designed foruse within specific ambient temperat-ures (climate range). Do not use inambient temperatures for which it isnot designed.

... in the refrigerator sectionWe recommend a temperature of 4 °Cin the refrigerator section.

... in the freezer sectionTo freeze fresh food and to store frozenfood for long periods, a temperature of-18 °C is required. At this temperaturethe growth of bacteria is generally hal-ted. As soon as the temperature risesabove -10 °C, the bacteria become act-ive in the food again so it cannot bekept as long. For this reason, partiallydefrosted or defrosted food must not bere-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once ithas been cooked , as the high temper-atures achieved when cooking destroymost bacteria.

Tip: If you have adjusted the temperat-ure, wait for approx. 6 hours if the ap-pliance is not very full and for approx.24 hours if the appliance is full beforechecking the temperature display, as itwill take this long for the appliance togive an accurate reading.

If, after this time, the temperature isstill too high or too low, you will needto adjust it again.

Using Super cool and Super freeze

32

The following functions can be selec-ted, depending on section.

– Refrigerator sectionSuper cool

– Freezer sectionSuper freeze

Super cool function The Super cool function can be used torapidly reduce the temperature in therefrigerator section to its lowest setting(depending on the room temperature).

Tip: Super cool is particularly recom-mended for the rapid chilling of largeamounts of fresh food or drink.

When Super cool is switched on, theappliance will work at full power tolower the temperature in the appliance.

It switches itself off automatically afterapprox. 12 hours.

Tip: To save energy, you can switch theSuper cool function off yourself oncefood and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

After switching Super cool off the appli-ance reverts to working at normalpower.

Super freeze function For optimum results switch on the Su-per freeze function before putting freshfood into the freezer section. This helpsfood to freeze quickly and retain its nu-trients, vitamins, flavours and appear-ance.

Exceptions:

– When placing food in the freezer thatis already frozen

– When freezing up to 1 kg of freshfood daily

The SuperFreeze function should beswitched on 6 hours before placingfood in the freezer section. When freezing the maximum amountof food the SuperFreeze functionshould be switched on 24 hours be-forehand.

When SuperFreeze is switched on, theappliance will work at full power tolower the temperature in the freezer.

The SuperFreeze function will switch it-self off automatically after approx.65 hours. The quantity of fresh foodplaced in the freezer will determine thetime before the SuperFreeze functionturns off.

Tip: To save energy, you can manuallyswitch off SuperFreeze once the freezerreaches a constant temperature of-18 °C or colder. Monitor the temperat-ure in the freezer section.

When SuperFreeze is switched off, theappliance will run at normal poweragain.

Explanation of the differentSettings

Switching Party mode on or off

This function is particularly useful if youneed to cool or freeze large quantitiesof food and drink quickly and make icecubes, for example, if you are expectinga large number of guests.

Super cool and Super freeze areswitched on automatically:The refrigerator section as well as thefreezer section cool down very rapidlyto their lowest temperature (dependingon the ambient temperature).

Tip: Switch the function on approx.4 hours before placing food in the appli-ance.

If Party mode cannot be switched on,the refrigerator section has beenswitched off separately or Holidaymode is switched on.

Party mode will switch off automaticallyafter approx. 20 hours. You can switchit off earlier at any time.

If previously switched on, Party modewill switch off if there is an interruptionto the power supply.


40

Switching Holiday mode on/off

This function is useful when you go onholiday if you do not wish to switch therefrigerator section off completely anddo not need a high degree of cooling.

The refrigerator section is regulated at atemperature of 15 °C, remaining in op-eration whilst also saving energy.

As a result of the higher temperatureduring Holiday mode, the storage lifeof the food is reduced.Do not store any temperature-sensit-ive food which goes off easily suchas fruit, vegetables, fish, meat anddairy products during this time.Empty the water container andswitch the ice cube maker off.

Food which does not go off quickly canbe stored in the appliance for sometime at this moderate refrigerator sec-tion temperature and energy consump-tion is lower than in normal operation. This also prevents the build-up ofodours and mould which can occur ifthe refrigerator section is switched offand the door is closed.

When the Holiday mode is switched on,it is indicated on the start screen:

Switching the ice cube maker onand off

Risk to health due to contamin-ated water.Bacteria can develop in water whichhas been sitting in the water supplylines for too long. This poses a risk toyour health.Throw away the first 3 batches of icecubes made after the ice cube makeris started up, as the water will havebeen used for the initial rinsing of thewater supply line.This applies to the initial commis-sioning as well as when using theappliance again after it has beenturned off for a long time.

Only make normal domestic quantitiesof ice cubes with the ice cube maker.

Please note:

– When using the appliance for the firsttime, it can take up to 24 hours forthe first ice cubes to drop out of theice cube maker and collect in thedrawer.

– After the ice cube maker has beenturned off and on again, this processlasts max. 6 hours.

– Make sure that the ice cube drawer isempty before switching on the icecube maker.

– Ice cubes can only be made whenthe ice cube drawer is completelyclosed.

If lights up in the display, the icecube maker is not being supplied withsufficient water. Check whether there is water in thewater container.

The ice cube maker can be turned offindependently of the refrigeration appli-ance if:

– You do not want to make any icecubes.

– You switch Holiday mode on.

– You switch the refrigerator section offseparately.

Tip: If the ice cube maker is switchedoff, the ice cube drawer can be used asan extra drawer for freezing fresh foodand storing frozen food.

You cannot switch Super freeze or theice cube maker off when Party modeis switched on.

After a mains outage, the ice cubemaker will, if it was previouslyswitched on, be deactivated afterpower is restored.

Touch the symbol to confirm the mes-sage. This resets the counter and thedisplay changes back to the startscreen.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

48

Risk of explosion due to flam-mable mixes of gases.Electrical components can causeflammable mixes of gases to ignite.Do not store explosive materials inthe refrigeration appliance or anyproducts containing propellants (e.g.spray cans).

Risk of damage due to greasy oroily foods.If storing food which contains a lot offat or oil in the refrigeration applianceor the appliance door, make surethat it does not come into contactwith plastic components as thiscould cause stress cracks or breakthe plastic.Make sure that no fat or oil leaksonto the plastic parts of the refrigera-tion appliance.

Different storage zonesDue to natural air circulation, there aredifferent temperature zones in the refri-gerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-tion of the refrigeration section. Makeuse of the different zones when placingfood in the appliance.

Tip: To allow air to circulate efficiently,do not pack food too closely together inthe appliance.

If there is insufficient air circulation,the cooling performance will de-crease and energy consumption willincrease.Do not cover the fan in the rear wallof the appliance.

Tip: Do not store food in such a waythat it touches the rear wall of the refri-gerator section as it may freeze to therear wall.

This appliance has automatic Dynamiccooling, which helps to keep an eventemperature when the fan is running,making the difference between thevarious zones is less pronounced.


49

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigeratorsection is at the top in the front areaand in the door. Use this for storing but-ter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-tion is directly above the DailyFreshdrawer and at the back of the appli-ance.

Use these areas in the refrigerator sec-tion for all delicate and highly perish-able food, e.g.:

– Fish, meat, poultry

– Cold cuts, ready meals

– Dishes or baked goods containingeggs or cream

– Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza orquiche dough

– Raw milk cheese and other raw milkproducts

– Pre-packed vegetables

– Other fresh food (with a label statingit should be kept at a temperature ofapprox. 4 °C)

Food which is not suitable forstorage in the refrigerator sec-tionNot all food is suitable for refrigerationat temperatures below 5 °C, because itmay be sensitive to cold. Depending onthe type of food, the appearance, con-sistency, flavour and/or vitamin contentmay be altered if stored at too cold atemperature.

Foods which are sensitive to cold in-clude:

– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,pomegranates, mangoes, melons,papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruitssuch as lemons, oranges, mandarins,grapefruits

– Fruit (which is not yet ripe)

– Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,peppers, tomatoes, courgettes

– Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan, moun-tain cheese)


50

Notes on buying foodThe freshness of food when first placedin the appliance is an important factorin determining how long it stays fresh,and how long it can be kept in the ap-pliance.Take into account the use-by date andthe correct storage temperature.Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. trans-porting food in a warm car, should bekept to a minimum.

Tip: Take an insulated cool bag whenshopping, and load food in the appli-ance as soon as possible.

Storing food correctlyEnsure that food stored in the refriger-ator section is in packaging orcovered properly (some exceptionsapply in the DailyFresh drawer). This willprevent food odours from affectingother foods, food from drying out, andalso any cross-contamination of bac-teria. This is particularly important whenstoring meat products.By ensuring that the temperature set-tings are correct and by taking appro-priate hygiene measures you can pro-long the storage life of your food con-siderably.

Protein-rich food

Please note that food rich in protein de-teriorates faster than other types offood. Shellfish, for example, deterior-ates faster than fish, and fish deterior-ates faster than meat.

Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer

51

The DailyFresh drawer provides goodstorage conditions for fruit and veget-ables.

The humidity level in the DailyFreshdrawer can also be regulated to suit thefood being stored. Food retains its ownmoisture if stored at a higher humidityand so does not dry out as quickly. Thetemperature is approximately equivalentto the temperature in the refrigeratorsection.

Remember that the fresher the foodwhen placed in the appliance, thelonger it will stay fresh.

Regulating the humidity level in theDailyFresh drawer

A slide control is used to regulate theamount of moisture present.

Slide control at = moisture not in-creased

For hygiene reasons always keep thesefoods covered or wrapped.

Slide control at = moisture in-creased

This setting is suitable for storing fruitand vegetables.The slide control closes the vents in thedrawer so the moisture cannot escape.

The moisture level greatly depends onthe type and quantity of food beingstored, if stored unwrapped.If the quantity of food being stored inthis compartment is small, the humiditylevel may be too low.

Tip: If you are only storing a smallamount of food, wrap it in airtight pack-aging.

Increased moisture in the drawercan, in some circumstances, cause abuild-up of condensate.Wipe off any condensate with acloth.

Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer

52

Storage results for food storedin the DailyFresh drawer

Observe the following tips if you findthat food you have stored does notkeep well (e.g. food becomes limp orwilts after only being stored for ashort time):

– Only place fresh food in the appli-ance. The initial condition of the foodis crucial to maintaining freshness.

– Clean the drawer before storing foodin it.

– Very wet food should be dried off be-fore storing it.

– Do not store food which is sensitiveto cold in the drawer (see “Foodwhich is not suitable for storing in therefrigerator section”).

– Set the slide control to the correctposition for the food being stored (hu-midity not increased or humidity in-creased).

– An increased humidity level in thehumidity controlled compartment isachieved by the moisture present inthe food being stored, i.e. the morefood stored in the compartment, thehigher the humidity.If too much moisture collects in thecompartment at the setting andthe food is affected, dry the floor witha cloth, and place a rack or similaritem in the compartment so that ex-cess moisture can drip down.If the humidity level becomes too low,wrap the food in airtight packaging.

Maximum freezing capacityTo ensure that fresh food placed in thefreezer freezes through to the core asquickly as possible, the maximumfreezing capacity must not be ex-ceeded. The maximum freezing capa-city for freezing within a 24-hour periodis given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-pacity ....kg/24 hrs”.

The maximum freezing capacity givenon the data plate has been calculatedaccording to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stand-ard.

Freezing fresh foodFresh food should be frozen as quicklyas possible. This way the nutritionalvalue of the food, its vitamin content,appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freezewill lose more water from its cells,which then shrink. During the defrostingprocess, only some of this water is re-absorbed by the cells. What this meansin practice is that the food loses moremoisture. You can see this in the largeamount of water that collects aroundthe food when it defrosts.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells haveless time to lose moisture, so theyshrink less. As there is not so muchmoisture loss, it is easier for the food toreabsorb it during the defrosting pro-cess, and very little water collectsaround the defrosted food.

Storing frozen foodWhen buying frozen food to store inyour freezer, check

– that the packaging is not damaged,

– the use-by date,

– the temperature at which the frozenfood is being stored in the shop. Thelength of time food can be kept is re-duced if it has been stored at a tem-perature warmer than -18 °C.

Buy frozen food once you have fin-ished the rest of your shopping, andwrap it in newspaper or use a coolbag or cool box to transport it.

Put it into the freezer as soon as pos-sible.

Never re-freeze partially or fullydefrosted food. Defrosted food mayonly be re-frozen after it has beencooked.


57

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in agood condition.

Before placing food in the appliance

When freezing more than 1 kg offresh food, switch on the SuperFreezefunction for some time before placingthe food in the freezer (see “UsingSuperCool and SuperFreeze – Super-Freeze function”).

This helps food which is already storedin the freezer to stay frozen.

Placing food in the freezer

If the food is too heavy, this cancause damage.Loading food which is too heavy cancause damage to the freezer draw-ers/glass shelves.Do not exceed the relevant maximumload:– freezer drawer = 25 kg – glass shelf = 35 kg

Unfrozen food should not touchfrozen food as this will cause frozenfood to begin to thaw.

Make sure that the packaging andcontainers are dry to prevent themsticking together when frozen.

– Freezing small amounts of food

Place the food in the lower freezerdrawers.

Place the food flat in the bottom ofthe freezer drawers so that it freezesthrough to the core as quickly as pos-sible.

– Freezing the maximum amount offood (see data plate)

If the ventilation slots are blocked thecooling performance will decreaseand energy consumption will in-crease.When placing food in the freezer,make sure that the ventilation slotsare not blocked.

Remove the upper freezer drawers.

Place the food flat on the upper glassshelves so that it freezes through tothe core as quickly as possible.

Once frozen:

Place the frozen food in the freezerdrawer and push it back in.


58

Storage time for frozen food

The storage life of food is very variable,even at a constant temperature of-18 °C. Decomposition processes alsotake place in frozen food, albeit at avery reduced speed. For example, fatcan become rancid from contact withoxygen in the air. This is why lean meatcan be stored approx. twice as long asfatty meat.

The storage times quoted are guide val-ues for the storage life of different foodgroups in the freezer zone.

Food group Storagetime(Months)

Ice cream 2 to 6

Bread, baked goods 2 to 6

Cheese 2 to 4

Fish, oily 1 to 2

Fish, lean 1 to 5

Sausage, ham 1 to 3

Game, pork 1 to 12

Poultry, beef 2 to 10

Vegetables, fruit 6 to 18

Herbs 6 to 10

For standard freezing results, follow theadvice on packaging.

Defrosting frozen goods

Never re-freeze partially or fully de-frosted food. Defrosted food may onlybe re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Frozen goods can be defrosted in differ-ent ways:

– In a microwave oven

– In an oven using “Fan heat” or the“Defrost” setting

– At room temperature

– In the refrigerator zone (the coldgiven off by the frozen food helps tokeep the other food cold)

– In a steam oven

Flat pieces of partially thawed meator fish can be placed directly into a hotfrying pan.

Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken,fish fillets) should not come into contactwith other foods while defrosting. Catchthe liquid from defrosting and disposeof it carefully.

Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-perature in its packaging, or in acovered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked whilestill frozen. Just put straight into boilingwater or hot fat. The cooking time isslightly less than that of fresh veget-ables due to changes in the cell struc-ture.

Cooling drinks quickly

To cool drinks quickly in the refrigeratorsection, switch on the SuperCool func-tion.

If you want to cool a large amount ofdrinks, or if you want to cool drinks inthe freezer section, select Partymode in Settings mode .


59

When cooling drinks quickly in thefreezer, make sure bottles are not left infor more than one hour. Otherwisethey could burst.

Tip: To avoid forgetting about bottlesplaced in the freezer you can set theminute minder (QuickCool timer) inSettings mode.

Making ice cubes

Switching the ice cube maker on andoff

For instructions on how to switch theice cube make on and off see “Select-ing further settings” - “Switching theice cube maker on and off”.

Making a large amount of ice cubes

The amount of ice cubes produced de-pends on the temperature in the freezer.The lower the temperature, the more icecubes are produced within a given time.At a temperature of -18 °C, approx. 1 kgof ice cubes will be produced within24 hours.

Tip: If you require a large amount of icecubes, replace the full ice cube drawerwith the drawer beside it on the right.

The ice maker will begin to produce icecubes again as soon as this drawer hasbeen placed in position and closedproperly.


60

Adjusting the interior fittings

Removing the drawers and glassshelves

The drawers can be removed for filling,emptying or cleaning purposes.

You can also expand the space avail-able in the freezer section. If you wish tofreeze large items such as a turkey orgame, the glass shelves between thedrawers can be removed.

Pull out the drawer as far as it will go,and then lift it up and out.

Lift the glass shelf slightly, then pull itforward and out.

Using accessories

Using the cool pack

The cool pack prevents the temperaturein the freezer zone from rising tooquickly in the event of a power cut. Thiscan help prolong the storage life.

Place the cool pack in the top drawerof the freezer zone.

The cool pack will be at its most effect-ive after it has been in the freezer forapprox. 24 hours.

– In the event of a power cut

Place the frozen cool pack directly ontop of the frozen food in the front ofthe top drawer.

Tip: When placing fresh food in thefreezer, use the cool pack to separatethe fresh food from the food which isalready frozen so that the frozen fooddoes not begin to thaw.

Tip: The cool pack can also be used ina cool bag to keep food or drinks coolfor a short period of time.

Defrosting

61

Refrigerator section andDailyFresh drawerThe refrigerator section and theDailyFresh drawer defrost automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up onthe back wall of the refrigerator sectionand the DailyFresh drawer whilst thecompressor is running. You do not needto remove this, as it will defrost andevaporate automatically with thewarmth generated by the compressor.

The condensate drains through a chan-nel and drain pipe into an evaporationsystem at the back of the refrigerationappliance.

Keep the condensate channel anddrain hole clean to enable this. Con-densate must be able to drain awayunhindered at all times.

Freezer sectionThe appliance is equipped with a“NoFrost” system. The freezer defrostsautomatically.

The moisture generated in the appli-ance collects on the condenser and isautomatically defrosted and dissipatedfrom time to time.

This automatic defrosting system en-ables the freezer to remain permanentlyice-free. Food stored in the freezer willnot defrost with this system.

Cleaning and care

62

Problem solving guide

72

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easilyremedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not beneeded.

The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,and to correct it.

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

Problem Cause and remedy

The appliance is notgetting cold and the in-terior lighting does notcome on when the dooris opened.

The appliance has not been switched on. Switch the appliance on.

The mains plug is not inserted in the socket correctlyor the plug connector is not inserted into the socketat the back of the appliance correctly. Insert the mains plug into the mains socket and

the plug connector into the appliance socket cor-rectly and switch on.

Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. Therecould be a fault with the appliance, the householdelectrical wiring or another electrical appliance. Contact a qualified electrician or Miele.

The compressor runscontinuously.

This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressorruns at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool-ing is required.

The compressor isswitching on more fre-quently and for longerperiods of time. Thetemperature in the ap-pliance is too low.

The ventilation gaps have been covered or becometoo dusty. Do not block the ventilation gaps. Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.


73


The doors have been opened too frequently, or alarge amount of fresh food has been placed insideand/or frozen at the same time. Only open the doors when necessary and for as

short a time as possible.

The required temperature will re-establish itself after awhile.The appliance doors are not closed properly. A thicklayer of ice may have formed in the freezer. Close the appliance doors.

The required temperature will re-establish itself after awhile.

If a thick layer of ice has formed, it will reduce effi-ciency and increase the energy consumption. Defrost the appliance and clean it.

The ambient room temperature is too high. The higherthe room temperature, the longer the compressor willrun for. See “Installation - Location”.

The temperature setting is too low. Adjust the temperature.

A large amount of food is being frozen at once. See “Freezing and storing food”.

The Super cool function is still switched on. You can switch off the Super cool function earlier

to save energy.The Super freeze function is still switched on. You can switch off the Super freeze function earlier

to save energy.


74


The compressor comeson less and less oftenand for shorter periodsof time.

This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too high. Adjust the temperature. Check the temperature again after 24 hours.

The food begins to defrost. The room temperature is too low for this appliance. If the room temperature is too low, the compressorwill run less frequently. This may cause the freezer tobecome too warm. See the information in “Installation” – “Location”. Increase the temperature of the room.

Ice or condensation hasbuilt up inside the appli-ance.

The door seal has come out of its groove. Check that the door seal is correctly positioned in

the groove.The door seal is damaged. Check whether the door seal is damaged.

The door seal is dam-aged or needs to be re-placed.

No tools are required to change the door seal. Change the door seal. A replacement is available

from Miele or from specialist retailers.
