Miele K 14820 Operating And Installation Instructions

							The following applies to stainless
steel appliances:
~Do not place sticky notes, adhesive
tape, masking tape or any other
adhesive agent on the treated surface
of the door.
The coating will become damaged and
lose its protective properties against
soiling.
~The high quality treated surface of
the door is susceptible 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.

Only open the doors when
necessary and for as short a time as
possible.Frequent opening of the doors for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. If food is not stored 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.Placing hot food in the appliance
will cause the compressor to run for
a long time, as the appliance will
have to work harder to lower 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 overfill the appliance to allow
air to circulate.
DefrostingDefrost the freezer compartment
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
causes an increase in energy
consumption.

							Before using for the first time
To ensure the correct functioning of
the appliance, let it stand for between
½ and 1 hour after transporting it to its
final location before connecting it to
the mains.
Protective foil
The stainless steel strips and frames
have a layer of protective foil to prevent
scratching during transportation.
The external surfaces of stainless steel
appliances are also covered with a
protective foil.
^Remove the protective foil only after the
appliance has been installed in its
intended location.
Cleaning and care
^Immediately after removing the
protective foil, apply the Original
Miele Care product for stainless steel
(availabe from Miele or at
www.miele.com.au) to stainless steel
strips and frames.
^
Also apply the Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel to the side
panels after removing the protective
foil.
Appliance doors have a special
coating that is not susceptible to
soiling. Donotapply this product to
doors.
Important! Each time the Original
Miele Care product for stainless steel
is used, it forms a protective film
against dirt and water.^Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with lukewarm water
and then dry with a soft cloth.

							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.
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.
. . . temperature in the
refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of4°C
in the middle of the refrigerator.
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, theaverage,
currenttemperature inside the
appliance is automatically shown.

							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
2°Cto9°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 average temperature
in the refrigerator.
Thetemperature display will flashif
–
the temperature is not within the
possible temperature range (0 °C to
19 °C),
–
a different temperature is being set.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

							Your appliance has been fitted with an
alarm to avoid energy being wasted if
the door is left open and to prevent
stored food becoming too warm.
The alarm will sound if the door is left
open for more than approx. 2 minutes.
The Alarm off sensor will light up red
and the Cooling symbol will flash.
The alarm will stop and the indicators
will go out as soon as the door is
closed.To switch off the door alarm
whilst the door is still open
If you want to keep the door open
intentionally for more than approx.
2 minutes, you can switch the alarm off.
^Touch the Alarm off sensor.
The alarm will stop.
The Alarm off sensor will light up
constantly and the Cooling symbol
will continue to flash until the door
has been closed.
To switch on the door alarm
The alarm system switches back on
automatically as soon as the door is
closed. It does not have to be switched
on manually.

							SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Switching on SuperCool
SuperCool is particularly recommended
for the faster chilling of large amounts
of fresh food or drink.
^Touch the SuperCool sensor. It will
light up yellow.
The appliance will then work at full
power to lower the temperature.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function will switch itself
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
The appliance will then continue to
work at normal power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^
Touch the SuperCool sensor so that
the yellow indicator is dimmed.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
DynamicCoolingm
When the DynamicCooling function is
not switched on, the natural circulation
of air in the appliance will cause
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will
sink to the lowest section of the
appliance. You should bear this in mind
when placing food in the appliance
(see Using the refrigerator efficiently).
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, it is a good idea to switch on
DynamicCooling. This way you can
distribute the temperature inside the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
The temperature is set as normal with
the temperature control.
DynamicCooling should also be
selected when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 33 °C), and
–
the room humidity level is high.
