Miele Kf 9757 Id Operating And Installation Instructions

							~Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Thermostats switching on may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard. Flammable compounds
could explode.
~Do not operate any electrical
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.
~If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed and stored upright. Danger of
explosion.
~Do not store cans or bottles
containing carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer
section. The cans or bottles could
explode. Danger of injury and damage
to the appliance.
~When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour, otherwise they
could burst, causing injury or damage.
~Observe the use by dates given on
food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors, including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the
temperature at which it is stored. Follow
the instructions given on the food
manufacturer’s packaging on storage
conditions required.
~Do not use sharp edged objects to
–remove frost and ice,
–separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~Never 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 mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
~Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals, as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
~Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
~Do not block the ventilation gap in
the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.

							~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.
~Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
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.

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 over-fill 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

							Before using for the first time
The stainless steel trim to the interior
shelves and the door shelves has a
layer of protective foil to prevent
scratching during transportation.
^Do not remove this foil until the
appliance has been built in.
^Treat the stainless steel surfaces with
a proprietary stainless steel
conditioner immediately after
removing the foil (available from the
Miele Spare Parts department or via
the internet on www.miele.co.uk).
Important! A stainless steel
conditioner gives long lasting
protection, and helps to prevent
resoiling.
^Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with warm water and
a little washing-up liquid, and then
dry with a soft cloth.
Important:
To ensure the correct functioning of
the appliance, let it stand for
between 1½ and 2 hours after

							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 the
appliance,
– 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.
...intherefrigerator and the
PerfectFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of4°C
in the refrigerator.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at0to3°C.
Dynamic cooling
The dynamic cooling fan automatically
switches on when the cooling system
for the refrigerator switches on. It
distributes the temperature in the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
...inthefreezer section
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.

							Setting the temperature in the
refrigerator section / freezer
section
Use the two buttons underneath the
respective temperature displays to set
the temperature for the refrigerator and
freezer sections.
Press the
+ button: to raise the temperature
(it gets warmer)
– button: to reduce the temperature
(it gets cooler).
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When pressing the buttons, the
following information shows in the
display:
– When first pressed, thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
–
Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–
Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button thecurrent, average
temperature of the refrigerator or
freezer section 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 temperaturedisplay, 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:
–In the refrigerator section from 4 °C
to9°C
–In the freezer section from -16 °C to
-26 °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.
Setting the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is automatically held at 0 to 3 °C.
It can be raised or lowered, e.g. if you
want to use it for storing items like fish.

PerfectFresh zone takes effect
gradually.
Temperature display
During normal operation, the
temperature displays on the control
panel show the temperature in the
middle of the refrigerator section and
the temperature in the warmest part of
the freezer section.
If the temperatures in the appliance are
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display, bars will flash in the
temperature displays.
Thetemperature displays flashif
–a different temperature is being set,
– the temperature in the appliance has
risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.
This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:
– when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
–
when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above -18 °C
for a long time, check that the frozen
food has not started to defrost. If it has
started thawing, check that the food is
safe to use and if it is, use it as quickly
as possible.
