Miele F 9252 I Operating And Installation Instructions

Before placing food in the freezer
^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.
Placing food in the freezer
Fresh food can be placed in any
drawer for freezing, however it is
preferable to use the lower drawers.
Large quantities should be placed
directly on the glass cold plates to
freeze the food...

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
other food cold),
–in a steam oven.
PoultryIt is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away
and wash the container it was in, the
sink and your hands. Danger of
salmonella...

Freezer tray
The freezer tray is useful for freezing
small items such as berries and
vegetables. They can be frozen
individually and therefore maintain their
shape when defrosted.
^Space the food out loosely on the
tray.
^Hang the tray in one of the upper
freezer drawers.
Leave the 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.
Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the...

In normal use, ice and frost will form in
the freezer. If allowed to accumulate,
this will impair the efficiency of the
freezer and increase the consumption
of electricity.
Do not scrape ice and frost off as
this can cause damage and render
the freezer unusable.
The freezer should be defrosted from
time to time. It must be defrosted if a
layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^Switch...

After defrosting
^Clean the appliance, and then dry it
thoroughly.
^Close the appliance door, insert the
plug in the socket and switch the
appliance back on.
^Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the appliance can cool down
quickly. The indicator light will come
on.
^Once the temperature in the freezer
is sufficiently low, slide the glass cold
plates back into the freezer, then
replace the food in the freezer
drawers and put them back in the
freezer.
^Switch off Super freeze by pressing
the Super...

Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides
or chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that water cannot get into
the temperature selector.
Never use steam-cleaning
apparatus to defrost or clean the
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information...

To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.

Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
......there is a thick layer of ice in
the freezer section.
^Check whether the door closes
