The SmartFresh drawers provide the right combination of temperature and humidity. The result is freshness up to three times longer than in the other zones of the refrigerator. Storage temperatures For fresh foods that are not adversely affected by cold, the best range is 32° - 37°F (0° - 3°C).
For optimal storage conditions, it is always best to store similar foods together in one crisper. Foods that are best stored under dry conditions – fresh fish and shellfish, meats, poultry, sausage, dairy products and deli salads. Foods that are best stored under moist conditions – fresh produce, e.
Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of 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 these different zones when placing food in the appliance.
Freezing food Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This helps maintain the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste of the food. Never refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible, it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long.
Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in a microwave oven, – at room temperature, – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold), – in a steam oven. Poultry It is especially important to observe proper hygiene when defrosting poultry.
When the SuperCool function is activated, the appliance is cooled as quickly as possible (to a factory-preset temperature). SuperCool When used with the refrigerator the SuperCool function is ideal for the rapid cooling of drinks and refrigerating large quantities of food.

^ Loosen the bracket that holds the appliance to the pallet. , Caution! The appliance is no longer secured and may be unstable. ^ From the rear of the appliance carefully lift it from the pallet. Once the appliance is on the ground it can be wheeled around.
If the indicator light does not come on, installation of the module was unsuccessful. In that case, repeat the process. If that does not correct the problem, contact Miele. ^ Pull the antenna d straight out. ^ Guide the cover b over the antenna d and screw on the cover.
Anti-tip brackets The anti-tip brackets help keep the appliance safely secured to the installation niche to prevent tipping. Two anti-tip brackets are recommended for each appliance or appliance combination (side-by-side). The distance " D " between the anti-tip brackets b is the width of the appliance.
Securing an alternative anti-tip device If the anti-tip brackets cannot be attached securely, an alternative anti-tip device can be used. Ensure that there is no "give" between the appliance and the anti-tip device. If possible, always screw the wooden beam to existing studs.
Sliding the appliance into the installation niche ^ Unscrew the plinth. ^ To protect the corners of the installation space, attach the supplied edge protector a on both sides with adhesive tape. ^ Plug the appliance into the power outlet b . In the case of side-by-side installations, a separate outlet must be used for each appliance.
Aligning the appliance ^ Align the appliance with the custom front. The installation aids e have been designed for the following total thicknesses of custom doors: – 3 / 4 " (19 mm) – 1 ½" (38 mm). Be sure to take into account the possible differing thicknesses of the custom doors that are to be fitted subsequently.
Note: – Do not twist or jam the appliance inside the niche. When unscrewing the height-adjustable feet, proceed gradually, alternating between left and right. – The adjustment of the rear feet is aided if the appliance is lifted at the rear (tipped forward slightly).
For a side-by-side combination the filler strips from both appliances are put together to form one long filler strip: ^ Take the peg from the "side-by-side merging kit" and insert it halfway into the filler strip rail on the left-side appliance.
Preparing the custom door For best results, it is important to mount the upper door before the lower door. ^ Open the appliance door. ^ Unscrew the installation supports n from the appliance door. ^ Loosen the remaining screws from the strips o on each side of the door, then remove.
^ Mark the distance X on the back-side of the custom door. ^ Also calculate and mark the center of the custom door Y . ^ Remove the mounting frame from the appliance door and position it according to the markings on the custom door. ^ Pre-drill the holes.
Attaching and aligning the custom door front ^ Fit the door handle to the custom door. Note that the screws are applied from the reverse side. ^ Open the door and hang the custom door with the adjusting rail over the double-threaded bolts p . ^ Screw the nuts q a few turns onto the double-threaded bolts.
^ Measure the distance Y between the adjusting rail from the lower door and the upper door. ^ Be sure to leave a distance of 1 / 8 " (3 mm) from the upper cabinetry door. Attaching the lower bracket (Only for appliances using the "Front panel gap kit".
The lower bracket corrects the side position of the door. ^ Loosen the screw. ^ Check the side position of the door. ^ Thread the wood screw. ^ Tighten the screw. ^ Place the cover on the brackets. The number of lower brackets will depend on the width and design of the custom door.
