Before using for the first time
The stainless steel surfaces and the
stainless steel trim on the shelves have
a protective foil to prevent scratching
during transportation.
^Do not remove this foil until the
appliance has been installed or built
in. Start at one of the upper corners.
^Wipe stainless steel surfaces over
with a suitable proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel,
such as Neoblank (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Department).

switched off without having to switch off
the freezer section. This is useful e.g.
whilst on holiday.
^Using a coin turn the On/Off master
dial in an anti-clockwise direction
back to the 0 position.
The temperature display for the
refrigerator section will go out and the
refrigerator section will switch off.
To switch the refrigerator section on
again

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,
–if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into...

The temperature can be set slightly
colder within the displayed temperature
range (e.g. between -15°C and -18 °C).
^Turn the temperature selector slowly
in a clockwise direction e.g. from the
-15°C LED position until the -18°C
LED flashes briefly in the temperature
display.
The temperature is now set in between
-15°C and -18°C.

Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer cannot rise
unnoticed. An alarm will sound and the
alarm indicator light will flash if the
temperature becomes too warm.
The alarm may sound and the alarm
indicator light may flash,
–if you freeze a large amount of food
at once without having switched on
the Super freeze function
beforehand.
Depending on the temperature in the
freezer, you should check the condition
of the food. If food has defrosted...

Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
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.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have...

Switching off Super freeze
The Super freeze function will switch off
automatically after approx. 65 hours.
The indicator light will go out and the
appliance will run at normal power
again.
To save energy the Super freeze
function can be switched off once a
constanttemperature of -18 °C or
colder has been reached in the freezer
section. You should also check the
temperature inside the appliance from
time to time.
^Press the Super freeze button. The
Super freeze indicator light will go
out, and the...

Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
directly above the vegetable
containers.
Use this for all delicate and highly...

Storing food correctly
Store food covered or packaged. This
will prevent food smells or tastes from
affecting other foods, and prevent food
from drying out and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. The
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,
can be avoided by setting the correct
temperature and maintaining good
standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the vegetable containers.
However, you should bear in mind that
some types of vegetables give off a...
