Miele Kf 8582 Sded Operating And Installation Instructions

Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
^Raise the shelf at the front, pull it out
half way, and then lift it out.
^With the rear barrier facing upwards,
place the shelf at the required
position.
The rear barrier must face upwards to
prevent food from touching the back
of the appliance and freezing to it.
Split shelf
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance, one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be
pushed under the rear section.
^Pull...

Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. The maximum freezing
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour
period is given on the data plate
Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check
– that the packaging is not damaged,
– the use-by date,
– the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the shop....

–Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Only season cooked food
lightly before freezing, but care
should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.
–Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw, and increases
the energy consumption
considerably. Allow hot food and
drinks to cool down before placing
them in the freezer.
Packing
^Freeze food in portions.
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
-...

Marker system for frozen food
The marker system serves as a
reminder of how long food has been
stored.
Each freezer drawer has two slide
markers with dials. The months are
represented on the dials as 1 – 12.
^Slide the markers onto the guide
runners on the edge of the drawers.
The slide markers are used to
indicate the type of food being
frozen, and the dials to show the
month in which it was placed in the
freezer.
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
–in a microwave oven,
–in an...

Ice cube tray
(with or without release button,
depending on model)
^Press down the release button on the
ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa
-
ter. Any excess will flow out through
the outlet.
^Pull the release button up to seal the
ice cube tray.
^Place the tray in the bottom of one of
the freezer drawers.
^Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to
remove the tray from the freezer.
^Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it...

Refrigerator section
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. These are
automatically removed and defrosted
by the appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.
Freezer section
The freezer section does not defrost
automatically....

To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
^Switch the appliance off at the
socket, and remove the plug.
^Open the freezer section door.
^Push the outlet pipe for defrosted wa-
ter out as illustrated.
^
Place a container in front of the
appliance to collect the defrosted
water. Make sure that the container
does not overflow.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl...

Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids or
chemical solvents. Non-abrasive
cleaning agents are also unsuitable
as they can cause matt areas to
appear.
Stainless steel surfaces can be
buffed using a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
such as Neoblank (available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department).
Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and apply with an even
pressure following the direction of
the grain.
Do not let water get into the...

E-Cloth
A microfibre E-Cloth is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Ventilation gaps
^The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.

Door seals
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and...
