Before placing food in the freezer
^When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
Freeze function ahead of time (see
Super Freeze).
This will protect the food that is
already in the freezer with an added
boost of cold.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer section.
Larger quantities should be placed
directly on the glass shelves, where
they will freeze more quickly, which is
better for maintaining quality. To do
this, first remove the top...

Defrosting frozen foods
Frozen food can be defrosted in various
ways:
–in the microwave,
–in a regular oven, using the fan or
defrost setting,
–at room temperature,
–in the refrigerator (as it thaws, the
frozen food will help cool the other
food in the refrigerator),
–in a steam oven.
Flat piecesof partially thawed meat or
fish can be placed directly into a hot
skillet.
Fruitcan be thawed at room
temperature, either in the packaging or
in a covered bowl.
Most vegetablescan be cooked while
still frozen....

Using the cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer from rising
too quickly in the event of a power
outage.
Place the cool pack in the upper
drawer, directly on top of the food. The
cool pack will be at its most effective
after it has been in the freezer for
approximately 24 hours.
If there is a power outage, place the
cool pack directly on top of the frozen
food in the upper drawer to keep the
food cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the cool...

Refrigerator section
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
During normal operation, condensate
and frost can build up on the rear wall
of the refrigerator and drawers.
You do not need to remove this, as it
will defrost and evaporate automatically
with the heat generated 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 unblocked so that...

Never use abrasive cleaners on the
appliance, or products that contain
washing soda, acids, chlorine
bleach or chemical solvents.
Note that so-called non-abrasive
cleaners are also unsuitable as they
can cause dull patches.
For all stainless steel surfaces, use a
suitable stainless steel cleaner
(available through Miele Customer
Service).
Make sure that no water gets into
the electronics or into the lighting.
Do not let any cleaning water get
into the condensate drain hole. Do
not use a steam cleaner to...

Cleaning the ventilation slits
^The ventilation slits should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up
of dust will increase the amount of
energy the appliance consumes.
Door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal as they will cause the seal
to deteriorate over time.
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clear water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the exterior coils
The metal coils on the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) need to be...
