							PerfectFresh zone
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the PerfectFresh zone
whilst 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
This freezer is equipped with a Frost
free system. The freezer section
defrosts automatically.
The moisture generated by defrosting
collects in the condenser and is
automatically dissipated by the
condenser from time to time.
This enables the freezer section to
remain permanently ice-free while the
food remains frozen. This system will
not cause food stored in the freezer to
defrost!
Defrosting

							Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the light.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is required
in the event of a service call.
The stainless steel doors have a
special finish which is resistant to
soiling.
Do not treatthe doors with stainless
steel conditioning agent as this will
cause noticeable smearing.
However, do use Miele stainless
steel conditioning agent to treat the
other stainless steel surfaces of the
appliance (available from Miele or
www.miele-shop.com).
Unlike stainless steel cleaning
agents, the conditioning agent does
not contain any abrasive substances
and will gently remove soiling. Each
time it is used, it forms a water and
dirt repellent protective coating.To avoid damaging the surface of
your appliance, do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–solvent-based cleaning agents,
–stainless steel cleaning agents,
–dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– melamine eraser blocks,
– sharp metal scrapers.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off.
^
Disconnect it from the mains.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning and care

							Cleaning the interior and
accessories
^Clean the appliance at least once a
month using lukewarm water and a
little washing-up liquid.
^Clean the interior shelves and
drawers by hand. These arenot
suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher.
^Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain hole, if necessary.
^After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the doors open to air the
appliance for a short while.
Appliance doors, side panels
Remove any soiling on the
appliance doors and side panels
immediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or
discolour.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
surfaces.^The surfaces should be cleaned
using a solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge. They can also be
cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth
(without using any cleaning agent).
^After cleaning, wipe with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel appliances
–Appliance doors
The appliance doors have a high
quality, special finish which is resistant
to soiling and is very easy to clean.
Do not usethe following to
clean/condition the doors
– stainless steel cleaning agent:
this will damage the surface.
– Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent:
this will cause noticeable smearing.
– Side panels
^
Use Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent to remove any soiling from
stainless steel surfaces.
^
Make sureyou treat the side panels
with Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent each time you clean them.
This will give them a water and dirt
repellent protective coating and help
prevent re-soiling.

							Cleaning the ice cube tray
Ice cubes freeze in the ice cube tray
and then drop into the ice cube drawer
below.
Clean the ice cube tray regularly with
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid to remove residual ice and water.
The ice cube tray cannot be removed
and must be cleaned in situ.
You should also clean the ice cube
maker before switching off the
appliance for a long time (e.g. when
going on holiday).
^Switch the appliance on.

cubes after cleaning. They may contain
traces of washing-up liquid and are
unsuitable for consumption.
Cleaning and care
45
 
						

							If you have used a solution of water
and washing-up liquid to clean it,
discard the ice cubes from the first
three ice cube making processes,
as they are not suitable for
consumption.
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 oils or grease 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 other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^Replace all shelves and accessories
in the PerfectFresh zone.
^Place food back in the PerfectFresh
zone, close the appliance doors,
insert the plug in the socket and
switch the appliance on.
^Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer can cool down
quickly.
^Once the freezer has reached the
required temperature, place the food
back in the freezer drawers and put
them back in the freezer.
^Switch off the Super freeze function
as soon as the temperature in the
freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.

							Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
What to do if...
. . . the PerfectFresh zone or freezer
section does not get cool.
^Check whether the relevant section is
switched on. The temperature display
must be lit up.
^Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the socket and switched
on.
^Check that the fuse is not defective
and the mains fuse has not tripped. If
it has there could be a fault with the
household electrical wiring, the
fridge-freezer or another electrical
appliance. Contact a qualified
electrician or Miele.
. . . the door to the freezer section
will not open because it has been
opened and closed too many times in
succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.. . . the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone or freezer section
is too low.
^Select a warmer temperature.
^Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^Has a large amount of fresh food
been put placed in the appliance at
the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the appliance to fall automatically.
^Super cool has not yet switched itself
off.
^Super freeze has not yet switched
itself off.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^
Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become too dusty.
^
The doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.

							. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer section is too
warm.
Is the room temperature lower than the
ambient temperature for which the
appliance is designed?
^If so, raise the temperature of the
room.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long, causing the freezer
section to become too warm.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
off sensor is flashing.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone or the freezer section has risen
above the set temperature because
^
the door has been opened too
frequently, or large amounts of fresh
food have been placed in the
appliance at once.
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked.
Once the problem has been resolved
and the correct temperature has been
reached, the alarm indicator will go out
and the alarm will stop.
. . . bars light up in the temperature
display.
Check the temperature displays about
6 hours after switching on the
appliance. Only temperatures within therange the appliance can display will be
shown.
..._F appears in one of the
temperature displays.
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
. . . the Change active charcoal filter
indicator is red.
^Replace the active charcoal filters.
You can order replacement filters via
your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
...nA appears in the temperature
display.
The temperature has risen too high at
some point during the last couple of
days because of a power cut.
^Touch the alarm off sensor whilst nA
is lit up in the display.
The alarm will stop and the
temperature display will show the
warmest temperature recorded in the
freezer section during the power cut.
Depending on the temperature
displayed, you should check the
condition of food in the freezer. If it has
defrosted or started to defrost, check
that it is still safe to use and if so use it
as soon as possible. Defrosted food
may only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
The warmest temperature will show in
the display for about 1 minute. The
display will then revert to showing the
current temperature in the freezer.
