Miele Fn 14827 Operating And Installation Instructions

							~The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
~Do not place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
~Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
~Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.Stainless steel appliances
~Do not use sticky notes, transparent
adhesive tape, masking tape or other
types of adhesive on the surface of the
door.
These damage the surface, causing it
to lose its dirt repellent protective
coating.
~The high-quality surface of the door
is supsceptible to scratching.
Even fridge magnets can cause
scratching.
Disposal of your old appliance
~Before disposing of an old
appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
~Be careful not to damage any part of
the pipework whilst awaiting disposal,
e.g. by
–
puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
–
bending any pipework.
–
scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

UseDrawers, shelves and racks
arranged as they were when the
appliance was delivered.
Only open the door when necessary
and for as short a time as possible.Frequent opening of the door for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. Searching for an item will mean the
door is open for longer.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
appliance.Hot food will cause the compressor
to run for a long time, as the
appliance will have to work harder
to reduce the temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation of
liquids will cause a loss of coldness
in the refrigerator.
Place frozen food in the refrigerator
to defrost.
Do not over-fill the appliance to
allow air to circulate.
DefrostingDefrost the freezer section when a
layer of ice 0.5 cm thick has built
up.A layer of ice hinders the cold from
reaching the frozen food, and
increases energy consumption.

							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. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °Cis required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises 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,
–
the more food that is stored in it,
–
the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
–
the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the appliance
can be selected by touching the arrow
sensors on either side of the
temperature display.
By touching the
sensor: the temperature will get
colder
sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When touching the sensors, the
following information shows in the
display:
– Touching a sensor once: thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
– Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–
Leaving a finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.
When the highest or lowest
temperature in the range is reached,
theorsensor disappears.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off the sensor, thecurrent
temperature inside the appliance is
automatically shown.
The correct temperature
17
 
						

							If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very fullandfor
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
fullbefore checking the temperature
display as it will take this long for the
display to give an accurate reading. If,
after this time, the temperature is still too
high or too low, you will need to adjust it
again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from:
-14 °C to -28 °C
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
Temperature display
During normal operation, the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
warmest part of the appliance.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
sensor.
^At the same time, briefly touch the
On/Off sensor (without letting go of
thesensor).
^Leave your finger on thesensor for
another 5 seconds untilcappears in
the display.
^Touch thesensor repeatedly untild
