Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer rising too
quickly in the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack in the upper
drawer directly on top of food, or in the
freezer tray to save space. The cool
pack will be at its most effective after it
has been in the freezer for approx. 24
hours.
If there is a power cut, place the cool
pack directly on top of the frozen food
in the upper drawer so that the food will
be kept cold for as long as possible.

This freezer is equipped with a Frost
free system. The freezer defrosts
automatically.
The moisture generated by defrosting
collects in the condensor and is
automatically dissipated by the
condensor from time to time.
This automatic defrosting system
enables the freezer to remain
permanently ice-free, however, the food
stored in the freezer will not defrost.

such as Neoblank (available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department). Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
