Miele Kfn 14842 Sded Operating And Installation Instructions

							Correct use
~Never handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
~Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice cubes
or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.
~Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food. Defrosted food should be
used up as quickly as possible, as food
soon loses its nutritional value and goes
off. Defrosted food may only be
re-frozen after it has been cooked.
~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. 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, resulting in 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
manufacturers packaging regarding
storage conditions and use-by dates.
~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.
~Do not place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
Warning and Safety instructions

							~Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause the
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
~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 gaps in
the appliance 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.
~Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.Stainless steel appliances
~Do not use sticky notes, transparent
adhesive tape, masking tape or other
types of adhesive on the surface of the
door.
These damage the surface, causing it
to lose its dirt repellent protective
coating.
~The high-quality surface of the door
is supsceptible to scratching.
Even fridge magnets can cause
scratching.
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. 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.Hot food will cause the refrigerator
unit to run for a long time, as the
appliance will have to work harder
to reduce 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 section when a
layer of ice 0.5 cm thick has built
up.A layer of ice hinders the cold from
reaching the frozen food, and
increases energy consumption.

							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 it,
– 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 section
We recommend a temperature of4°C
in the middle of the refrigerator.
...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.
Temperature display
During normal operation the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
middle of the refrigerator section or the
temperature in the warmest part of the
freezer section.
The correct temperature
19
 
						

							Setting the temperature
The temperatures in the refrigerator and
freezer sections are set independently
of one another.
^Select the refrigerator or the freezer
section.
The Refrigerator symbol or the
Freezer symbol will light up yellow.
^You can now use the arrow sensors
on either side of the temperature
display to set the temperature you
require.
By touching the
sensor: the temperature will get
colder
sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The following information shows in the
display when the sensors are touched:
–
Touching a sensor once: thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
–
Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.–Leaving a finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.
When the highest or lowest
temperature in the range is reached,
theorsensor disappears.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off a sensor, theaverage,
currenttemperature 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 temperature
display, 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 2 °C
to 11 °C
–
In the freezer section from -14 °C to
-28 °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.
