Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collec-
tion centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Make sure that the pipework is not
damaged whilst moving an old appli-
ance. This is to ensure that the refriger-
ant and oil in the compressor cannot
leak into the environment. It is important
that they are disposed of in a safe
manner by authorised persons only.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
This appliance complies with all rele-
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
which is very environment friendly. Al-
though it is flammable, it does not dam-
age the ozone layer and does not in-
crease the green house effect. The use
of this environment friendly coolant has,
however, led to a slight increase in the
noise level of the appliance. In addition
to the noise of the compressor, you
might be able to hear the coolant flow-
ing around the system. This is unavoid-
able, but does not have any adverse ef-
fect on the performance of the appli-
ance.
Care must be taken during transporta-
tion and setting up of the appliance that
no parts of the coolant system are dam-
aged. Leaking coolant can damage the
eyes.
In the event of any damage:
- avoid open fires
vant legal safety requirements. Inap-
propriate use can however lead to
personal injury and damage to prop-
erty.
Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting to use this
appliance. They contain important
notes on installation, safety, opera-
tion and care of the appliance. This
way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Correct use
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only for the cool stor-
age of food and drink as well as for
storing deep frozen food, freezing fresh
food and for preparing ice. Any other
usage is not supported by the manu-
facturer and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by improper use of the
appliance.
and anything which creates a spark,
- disconnect from the mains,
- air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
- contact the Service Department
for advice.
The more refrigerant there is in an
appliance, the larger the room it
should be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the appliance is in a small
room, there is the danger of combusti-
ble gases building up.
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Micro organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-
perature influences the growth rate of
these micro organisms. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
. . . in the freezer
For freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food for a long time a tempera-
ture of at least -18 °C is needed. At this
temperature the growth of micro organ-
isms is generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises to above -10 °C, the
micro organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has
been cooked as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro organisms.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
Temperature selection
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and for the freezer section are
set independently from one another us-
ing the buttons to the right and left
hand sides of the temperature displays.

surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures (cli-
mate ranges). Do not use in ambient
temperatures for which it is not de-
signed.

matically shown.
Temperature displays
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the appli-
ance is not very full and for approx.
24 hours if the appliance is full before
checking the temperature display as it
will take this long for the display to
show the accurate temperature of the
appliance. If, after this time, the temper-
ature is too high or too low, you will
need to adjust it again.
During normal operation the tempera-
ture display shows the temperature in
the middle of the refrigerator section
and the temperature in the warmest
part of the freezer section.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display (i.e. if it is not between
0 °C and 19 °C in the refrigerator sec-
tion, and if the temperature in the
freezer section is above 0 °C), only a
bar will light up in the temperature dis-
plays.
It will take between 3 and 8 hours ap-
proximately for the appliance to reach
the required temperature. The time it
takes will depend on where the appli-
ance is located and the temperature
setting selected.

Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer section can-
not rise unnoticed. It is always active. If
the temperature in the freezer gets too
warm an alarm will sound and the tem-
perature display for the freezer section
will flash. The temperature the appli-
ance is set at determines the tempera-
ture the appliance recognises as being
too warm.
Switching the alarm tone off
early
Once the set temperature has been
reached in the freezer section, the
alarm tone stops and the temperature is
displayed constantly. However, if the
noise disturbs you, you can turn the
alarm tone off before this if you wish.
The alarm will sound and the tempera-
ture display will flash:
– when the freezer is switched on.
^ Press the alarm button. The alarm
stops. The temperature display con-
tinues to flash until the set tempera-
ture has been reached. It then lights
up constantly. It does not go out until
the set temperature range has been
reached.
– when the freezer section door has
been left open for a while, e.g. in or-
der to load, to re-arrange or to take
food out.
– when freezing large amounts of food.
– when there has been a lengthy inter-
ruption to the power supply.

refrigerator section to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells which
then shrink.
During the defrosting process only
some of this water is reabsorbed by the
cells. The rest collects around the food.
In practice this means that the food
loses a large degree of its moisture.
Switching on super cool
Super cool is particularly recom-
mended for faster chilling of large
amounts of fresh food or drink.
If food is frozen quickly the cells have
less time to lose moisture so they shrink
less. As there is not so much moisture,
it is easier for the food to reabsorb it
during the defrosting process. There
will be very little water around the de-
frosted food.
^ Press the super cool button, the
super cool indicator light will come
on.
The appliance works at full power to
lower the temperature in the refrigera-
tor section.
Super freeze is not necessary:
– when putting in frozen food.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently
Different storage zones
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products con-
taining combustible gas (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
Natural air circulation gives rise to dif-
ferent temperature zones inside the re-
frigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks
to the lowest section of the appliance.
Make use of the different zones when
placing food in the appliance.
If storing alcohol with a high per-
centage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed, and store upright.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone in the refrigerator sec-
tion is directly above the vegetable
containers.
Do not store cooking oil in the refrig-
erator door.
Traces of oil can cause stress
cracks to occur in the plastic com-
ponents in the door.
Use this for all delicate and highly per-
ishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance. Otherwise it may
freeze to the back wall.
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
Food which should not be
stored in a refrigerator
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
These include:
– soft cheese and other dairy prod-
ucts,
– Fruit and vegetables which are sensi-
tive to cold, such as bananas, avo-
cado pears, papaya, passion fruit,
aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and
cucumbers
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a minimum temper-
ature of 4 °C.
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Potatoes
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is in the top section
of the refrigerator door. Use this for stor- – Some hard cheeses
ing butter and cheese.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently
Storing food correctly
Energy saving tips
Store food covered or packaged. This
will prevent food smells or tastes from
affecting other foods and prevent food
from drying out. The growth of bacteria,
such as salmonella, can be avoided by
setting the correct temperature and
maintaining good standards of hygiene.
– Frequently opening the door or keep-
ing it open for too long will cause the
temperature in the appliance to rise.
The appliance will have to run more
often in order to maintain the cool
temperature inside the appliance.
Only open the door when you need
to and then only for as long as nec-
essary.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the vegetable containers. How-
ever, you should bear in mind that
some types of vegetables give off a
natural gas which speeds up the rate at
which food perishes. Some fruit and
vegetables react stongly to this gas
and should not be stored together in
the vegetable containers.
– If you organise where you store your
food correctly you should be able to
find things quickly and easily without
allowing the temperature in the appli-
ance to rise. Sort the food out care-
fully before putting it into the appli-
ance.

Freezing and storing food
Maximum freezing capacity
Home freezing
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 ex-
ceeded. The maximum freezing capac-
ity for freezing within a 24 hour period is
given on the data plate "Freezing ca-
pacity ....kg/24 hrs".
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Hints on home freezing
– The following types of food are suit-
able for freezing :
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, veg-
etables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy prod-
ucts, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg
whites and a range of pre-cooked
meals.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer check
– The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing :
– that the packaging is not damaged,
– the use by date,
grapes, lettuces, radishes, sour
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their
shells, onions, whole raw apples and
pears.
– the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the shop.
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,
vegetables should be blanched after
they have been trimmed and
The length of time it can be kept is re-
duced if it has been stored at a
temperaure warmer than -18 °C.
washed. To blanch: bring a large
saucepan of water to the boil, im-
merse the vegetables in the fast boil-
ing water for 2-3 minutes, depending
on variety. Remove and cool quickly
in cold water. Drain and pack ready
for freezing.
^ Buy frozen food once you have fin-
ished the rest of your shopping and
wrap it in newspaper or use a cool
bag or box to transport it.
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as pos-
sible.
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat and can be stored for consider-
ably longer.
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or
rolled meat from freezing together in
solid blocks when packed, separate
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

Freezing and storing food
– Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before freez-
ing. Only season cooked food lightly
before freezing but care should be
taken as the taste of some spices al-
ters when frozen.
– dustbin liners
– plastic carrier bags
Before placing food in the freezer
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function for a while before
placing the food in the freezer (see
"Super freeze").
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw and increases
the energy consumption consider-
ably. Allow hot foods and drinks to
cool down before placing them in the
freezer.
Placing in the freezer
Fresh food can be placed in any
drawer for freezing, however it is prefer-
able to use the upper drawers. Large
quantities can be placed directly on the
evaporator plates to freeze the food
quickly. To do this first take out one or
several freezer drawers.
Packing
^ Freeze food in portions.
Suitable packing material
– plastic freezer film
– freezer bags
– freezer containers
– aluminium foil
Do not place frozen food, even if it is
in a flat package, in the space be-
tween the roof of the freezer and the
top evaporator plate. This space is
important for an unhindered air cir-
culation and troublefree operation of
the appliance.
Freezer bags may also be sealed us-
ing home heat sealing kits.
^ Expel as much air as possible from
bags etc. before sealing them to pre-
vent freezer burn on food.
Each drawer and evaporator plate
can be loaded with a maximum of
25 kg.
^ Close the packaging tightly with
– rubber bands
– plastic clips
– string or bag ties
– cold resistant adhesive tape.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the evaporator
plates in the freezer so that it freezes
through to the core as quickly as pos-
sible.
^ Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
^ Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
unsuitable packing material
– wrapping paper
– grease-proof paper
– cellophane

Freezing and storing food
month the food was first placed in the
freezer.
When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
Freezer calendar
– in the microwave oven,
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored effectively.
– in the oven using the "Fan" or "De-
frost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the fridge.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-
perature in its packing or in a covered
bowl.
Marker system for frozen food
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh vege-
tables.
Markers serve as a reminder of how
long food has been stored.
Each freezer drawer has two slide
markers with dials. The months are rep-
resented on the dials as 1 – 12.
Poultry It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when de-
frosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands.
Warning
Never re-freeze partially of fully de-
frosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
^ Slide the markers onto the guide run-
ners on the edge of the drawers.
Use the markers to indicate the type of
food being frozen and turn the dials to
the appropriate number to indicate the

Freezing and storing food
Ice cubes
Freezer tray
(depending on model)
The freezer tray can be used for freez-
ing soft fruit, herbs, small items etc. The
tray allows you to space out the food so
that it does not stick together and
keeps its shape.
^ Press down the release button on the
ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa-
ter. Any excess will flow out through
the outlet.
^ Now pull the release button up to
seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray
on the bottom of one of the freezer
drawers.
^ Once frozen use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to re-
move the ice tray from the freezer.
^ Place the food on the tray.
^ Hang the tray in one of the upper
freezer drawers.
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.
Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze
thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a
freezer bag or suitable container once
frozen. Place the bag or container in
the freezer drawer.
Cooling drinks
Drinks are best cooled quickly in the re-
frigerator section using the Super cool
function. If bottles are, however, placed
in the freezer for rapid cooling, make
sure bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.

Freezing and storing food
Ice pack
(Depending on model)
The ice pack prevents the temperature
in the freezer rising too quickly in the
event of a power cut.
Place the ice pack in the upper drawer
directly on top of food or to save space
on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be
at its most effective after it has been in
the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
If there is a power cut lay the ice pack
directly on top of the frozen food in the
upper drawer so that the food will be
kept cold for the longest time possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the ice pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.
The ice pack can also be used in a cool
bag to keep food or drinks cool for a
short period of time.

Defrosting
Refrigerator section
Before defrosting
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. These are automati-
cally removed and defrosted by the ap-
pliance.
^ Switch on the super freeze function at
least 4 hours before defrosting to en-
sure frozen food retains its cold re-
serve for longer when taken out of the
freezer.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an evapora-
tion system at the back of the appli-
ance.
^ Remove the frozen food from the
freezer and place it in another freezer
or cool box or wrap it in several lay-
ers of newspaper or cloths and store
in a cool place until the freezer is
ready for use again.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that conden-
sate can flow away without hin-
drance.
^ Take all freezer drawers out of the
freezer section.
To defrost
Freezer section
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 de-
frosts.
The freezer section does not defrost au-
tomatically because frozen food must
not be allowed to defrost.
In normal use ice and frost will form on
the evaporator plates. If allowed to ac-
cumulate, this will impair the efficiency
of the freezer and increase the con-
sumption of electricity.
^ Switch the appliance on with the On /
Off button.
The temperature display goes out. If
it does not go out then the safety lock
is probably engaged.
Do not scrape ice and frost off the
evaporator plates as this can dam-
age the evaporator plates and make
the freezer unusable.
^ Open the freezer section door.
The freezer section should be defrosted
from time to time. It must be defrosted if
a layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.

Defrosting
We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your appliance.
Never place electric heaters or can-
dles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
^ Open out the outlet guide for de-
frosted water.
Do not use defrosting sprays, or
de-icers as they could contain sub-
stances which could damage the
plastic parts and which may cause a
build up of gases and pose a dan-
ger to health.
After defrosting
^ Empty the container.
^ Use a sponge or a towel to mop up
any water from defrosting still in the
appliance.
^ Clean the freezer section and then
dry it thoroughly.
^ Fold the outlet guide back into posi-
tion.
^ Close the door and then switch the
freezer section on.
^ Place a container in front of the appli-
ance to collect the defrosted water.
Make sure that the container does
not overflow.
The temperature display for the
freezer section lights up.
^ Switch on the super freeze function
so that the freezer can cool down
quickly. The super freeze indicator
light will come on.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot
water (not boiling) can be placed in the
appliance.
^ Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required tempera-
ture place the food back in the
freezer drawers and place them back
in the freezer.
^ Switch off super freeze by pressing
the super freeze button. The indicator
light will go out.

Cleaning and care
^ Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
Never use cleaning agents contain-
ing abrasive substances such as
sand, soda, acids or chemical sol-
vents.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little wash-
ing up liquid. Accessories and shelves
should be hand washed only. The but-
ter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
For stainless steel surfaces, use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaning
agent.
^ Clean the refrigerator section at least
once a month and the freezer section
each time it is defrosted.
^ Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that conden-
sate can drain away unhindered. Use
a straw or similar to clear the drain if
necessary.
Make sure that no water can pene-
trate into the electronic unit, into the
light or into the ventilation gaps.
Do not let water get into the drain-
age channel and drain hole when
cleaning.
^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent.
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
the interior and accessories with a
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the doors open to air the appli-
ance for a short while.
Never use steam cleaning appara-
tus to defrost or clean the appliance.
The steam could attack the electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
E-Cloth
The data plate located inside the ap-
pliance must not be removed. It con-
tains information which is required in
the event of a service call.
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts De-
partment, Part Number 980 13530,
which is suitable for cleaning sur-
faces such as stainless steel, glass,
plastic and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Before cleaning

energy consumption.
^ Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required tempera-
ture place the food back in the
freezer drawers and place them back
in the freezer section.
Door seals
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become po-
rous with time.
^ Switch off the super freeze function
with the super freeze button.
The indicator light will go out.
The door seals should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then wiped
dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the appli-
ance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build up
of dust will increase the energy con-
sumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other compo-
nents do not get broken or damaged
in any way.

Building in the appliance
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.
When built into a kitchen run (max.
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be
installed directly next to a kitchen furni-
ture housing unit. The appliance door
b will protrude in front of furniture
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by 51
mm in the middle of the door. This en-
ables the doors to be opened and shut
without being obstructed.
When installed next to a wall c a dis-
tance of approx. 36 mm is needed on
the hinge side between the wall and the
appliance, so that the doors and the
handles have sufficient space for open-
ing.
The appliance can be installed in a
kitchen run. To match the height of the
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can
be fitted with a suitable top box a.
When securing to adjoining furniture
d or if a spacer is fitted between the
appliance and the wall, please note the
following:
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance for air to circulate.
^ Ensure that the doors have sufficient
space for opening fully after the ap-
pliance has been secured.
The cross section of the air outlet under
the room ceiling must be at least 300
cm2 to ensure that air can circulate
without hindrance. Otherwise the appli-
ance has to work too hard resulting in
an increase in electricity consumption.
The larger the cross section, the more
efficient the appliance.
^ Do not drill within the area marked
with criss cross pattern as this
would damage insulated parts of the
appliance.
^ To secure the appliance to adjoining
kitchen furniture use self-tapping
screws. The depth of the screw must
not exceed 10 mm. See small illustra-
tion.
