Before using for the first time The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation. ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with luke warm water and a little washing-up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth.
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.
Setting the temperature The temperature is set using the temperature dial. ^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a clockwise direction away from the "0" position. The higher the setting, the lower the temperature in the appliance. Forcing the dial beyond its range will damage it.
The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for the faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer compartment. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Exceptions: – when placing food in the freezer compartment that is already frozen.
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.
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. 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.
Unpacked meats and vegetables Unpackaged meat and vegetables should be stored separately. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped. Protein rich foods Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others.
Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.
Using the freezer compartment Use the freezer compartment to: – store frozen food, – make ice cubes, – freeze small quantities of fresh food. Up to 2 kg of food can be frozen in 24 hours. Freezing fresh food Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible.
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.
^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Before placing food in the freezer compartment ^ The Super freeze function should also be switched on before placing the food in the freezer compartment (see "Using Super freeze").
Ice cubes ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment. ^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer.
Refrigerator section The refrigerator defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the refrigerator.
To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. ^ Switch the appliance off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
E-Cloth ^ A microfibre “E-Cloth” is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com. This is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.
Metal grille at the back of the appliance 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. ^ When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way.
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 appliance is switching in too frequently and for too long. ^ Check whether the ventilation gaps have been covered over or become dusty. ^ The refrigerator and freezer compartment doors have been opened too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in at the same time for freezing.
