Protective foil The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation. On stainless steel appliances, the outer surfaces are also covered with protective foil. ^ Do not remove the foil until the appliance has been positioned in its final location.
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. Do not place food in the freezer section until the temperature is at least -18°C. This sensor is used to switch between the refrigerator and freezer sections.
^ Select the section of the appliance which you wish to switch off. The "Refrigerator" or the "Freezer" symbol will light up yellow. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor until the "Refrigerator" or the "Freezer" symbol goes out.
Settings mode Certain settings on the appliance can only be selected in the settings mode. How to select the settings mode and how to change the settings is described in the relevant section of these instructions.
The old setting lights up, and your newly selected setting flashes. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor to confirm the new setting. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until c appears in the display.
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 temperatures in the refrigerator section/PrefectFresh zone and freezer section are set independently of one another. ^ Select the refrigerator or the freezer section. The "Refrigerator" symbol or the "Freezer" symbol will light up yellow.
Temperature display During normal operation the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section or the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section. Setting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is automatically held at 0 to 3 °C.
Changing the temperature display brightness The temperature display brightness can be adjusted to suit the lighting conditions of the room. ^ Touch and leave your finger on the X sensor. ^ At the same time, briefly touch the On/Off sensor (without letting go of the X sensor).
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the appliance cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.
Door alarm The alarm will sound if a door is left open for more than approx. 2 minutes. The alarm off sensor will light up red and the symbol for the section which has the opened door will flash. The alarm will stop and the indicators will go out as soon as the door is closed.
Super cool 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.
Super freeze Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer section. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Super freeze is not necessary: – when placing food in the freezer 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.
Food which is not suitable for storing in the 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.
Food is stored at a lower temperature in the PerfectFresh zone than in the refrigerator section. The humidity in the PerfectFresh 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.
, = low humidity. The regulator opens the vents to the compartment to allow the moisture to escape. If the regulator is set at low humidity , , the humidity will be approx. the same as the humidity in the refrigerator section. At this setting, the low temperature is the main advantage of the compartment rather than the humidity.
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.
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.
PerfectFresh zone compartments The compartments in the PerfectFresh zone are on telescopic rails, and can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. ^ Pull out the compartment as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage.
Universal container The universal container can be used both to store and serve food. It consists of a deep tray a and a shallow tray b . Both trays fit the stainless steel frame. If you wish to use the universal container to serve food, ^ place the shallow tray b in the stainless steel frame, and use the deep tray as a lid a .
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 .
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.
Before placing food in the freezer section ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost.
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 the other food cold), – in a steam oven.
For the automatic ice cube maker to operate it must be connected to the mains water supply. Switching on the ice cube maker ^ Switch on the freezer section. ^ Pull out the ice cube drawer a little way. ^ Press the On/Off button a on the ice cube maker.
Switching off the ice cube maker The ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes.
^ The length of the water intake time for the ice cube maker can now be adjusted by touching the X sensor: E1 : Shortest water intake time, E8 : Longest water intake time, E – : Return to menu. The old setting lights up, and your newly selected setting flashes.
Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh zone Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance.
A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from Miele or www.miele-shop.com. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit or into the light. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning.
^ The bottle shelf and condiment tray in the door can be removed from their stainless steel frames for cleaning. To remove the stainless steel trim from the lid of the butter and cheese compartment (in the top of the door), proceed as follows: ^ Take the butter and cheese compartment out of the refrigerator section.
^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors open to air the appliance for a short while.
Cleaning the ice cube tray Ice cubes freeze in the ice cube tray and then drop into the ice cube drawer below. Clean the ice cube tray regularly with warm water and a little washing-up liquid to remove residual ice and water. The ice cube tray cannot be removed and must be cleaned in situ.
If you have used a solution of water and washing-up liquid to clean it, discard the ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes, as they are not suitable for consumption. Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
The active charcoal filters should be changed approx. every 6 months. When the Change active charcoal filter indicator lights up red, the active charcoal filters need to be changed. To change the active charcoal filters ^ Pull the active charcoal filter holder upwards to remove it from the shelf.
If you have delayed changing the active charcoal filters and the indicator is not lit up, you will need to reset the counter when you replace the active charcoal filters via the settings mode. ^ Touch and leave your finger on the X sensor. ^ At the same time, briefly touch the On/Off sensor (without letting go of the X sensor).
