							. . . the frozen food thaws because it
is too warm in the freezer section?
^Did the room temperature drop below
that for which the appliance was
designed?
Increase the room temperature.
The compressor will run less often if the
room temperature is too low. Therefore
it may become too warm in the freezer
section.
. . . food has frozen to the freezer
floor or walls?
Use a blunt instrument (such as a
spoon handle) to carefully pry the items
off.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
off button is flashing?
A temperature section is too warm
because, for instance,
^the appliance door has been opened
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in all at once for
freezing.
^
the ventilation slits are blocked.
When the problems have been solved,
the alarm and the displays go out.

from your Miele dealer.
...nA appears in the temperature
display?
The temperature has risen too high at
some point during the past few hours or
days because of a power outage.
^While nA is illuminated, press the
audio alarm off button.
The temperature display will show the
warmest temperature recorded in the
freezer section during the power
outage.
Depending on the temperature, check
to see whether the food in the freezer
thawed partially or completely. If that is
the case, cook the food before
refreezing it.
The warmest recorded temperature will
appear in the display for approx.
1 minute. Then the display will revert to

							Do not place any devices that
produce heat (such as a toaster or
microwave) on top of the appliance.
This would increase the energy
consumption of the appliance!
This fridge/freezer should not be
placed side-by-side with a second
model.
Because the appliance does not
have heated side walls, a
side-by-side arrangement can lead
to the build-up of condensation
water.
Contact your dealer for advice.
Location
The appliance should not be installed
directly next to a heat source (such as
a kitchen range or a heater) or in direct
sunlight. The higher the ambient
temperature, the longer the appliance
will run and the higher the energy
consumption.
Choose a dry, well-ventilated room for
installation.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (room
temperature range) and should not be
used outside this range. The climate
range is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance.

T+10 °C to +32 °C
+16 °C to +32 °C
+16 °C to +38 °C
+16 °C to +43 °C
If the room is too cold, it will cause the
cooling system in the appliance to
switch off for too long. This may lead to
higher temperatures in the appliance
and the frozen food may even start
thawing!
Proper ventilation
The air behind the appliance gets
warm. In order to ensure adequate
ventilation, you must make sure that the
ventilation slits are not covered or
blocked in any way.
