Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system, to ensure that the temperature in the freezer section does not rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Temperature alarm If the temperature in the freezer section gets too warm, an alarm will sound and the temperature display behind the door will flash.
SuperCool The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature), and is particularly recommended for rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink. Switching on SuperCool ^ Press the SuperCool button (left-hand button).
SuperFreeze Before putting fresh food into the freezer section, switch the SuperFreeze function on. Exceptions: – when putting in food 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 these different zones when placing food in the appliance.
Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods. It also will prevent food from drying out, and from cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene.
Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Half-way pull out the shelf, together with the glass-edge lighting, then raise it or lower it to remove. ^ Keeping the shelf horizontal, slide it into the required position.
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 listed on the data plate as “Freezing capacity .
– Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Cooked food can be lightly seasoned 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.
Freezing large items To freeze a large item such as a turkey or joint of meat, the glass cold plates between the freezer drawers can be removed. To do this: ^ Remove the freezer drawers, and carefully slide out the glass cold plate you wish to remove.
Cooling drinks To quickly cool drinks, it is recommended to use the SuperCool function in the refrigerator section. However, if you choose instead to place bottles in the freezer section for rapid cooling, make sure that they are not left in for more than one hour, as they could burst.

Refrigerator section During normal operation, condensate and frost can form on the back wall of the refigerator section. These are automatically removed by the appliance during automatic defrosting. The condensate is drained away through a channel and drain hole, then fed into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda (sodium carbonate), acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matte areas to appear.
^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors open to air the appliance for a short while. E-Cloth ^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.
Ventilation slits ^ The ventilation slits should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Door seals Do not use any grease or oil on the door seals, as they will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.
