Miele Kfn 14947 Sdeed Operating And Installation Instructions

							Refrigerator section and
PerfectFresh zone
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use.
You do not need to remove this, as it
will defrost and evaporate automatically
with the warmth 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 never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.
Freezer section
This appliance is equipped with a Frost
free system. The freezer section
defrosts automatically.
The moisture generated in the
appliance collects on the condenser
and is automatically defrosted and
dissipated by the condenser from time
to time.
This automatic defrosting system
enables the freezer section to remain
permanently ice-free, however, the food
stored in the freezer section will not
defrost.

							A range of Miele cleaning and
conditioning agents is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department
or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
Do not use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides
or chemical solvents. Some scouring
agents claim to be non-abrasive.
These are also unsuitable as they
can cause matt areas to appear.
For stainless steel surfaces, use a
suitable stainless steel conditioning
agent.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or 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.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off, switch off at
the socket and remove the plug.^Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
^The trays and containers in the door
can be removed from their stainless
steel frames for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little
washing-up liquid. Accessories and
shelves should all be handwashed only.
^Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
^Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
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.
^
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned with a proprietary stainless
steel cleaning agent, following the
manufacturers instructions on the
packaging.
^
After cleaning, stainless steel
surfaces should be treated with a
conditioning agent for stainless steel.
Cleaning and care
42
 
						

							It is important to do this every time
the stainless steel surfaces are
cleaned, as the stainless steel
conditioner protects the surfaces
and helps prevent re-soiling.
Cleaning the ice cube tray
The ice cubes are formed in a tray
before they are dropped down into the
drawer.
This tray should be cleaned regularly to
remove any stale ice or water.
^Connect the appliance to the
electricity supply.
^Open the top left drawer a little.
^Press the On/Off button on the ice
cube maker. The indicator light will
come on.
^Empty the ice cube drawer.
^Press the On/Off button on the ice
cube maker and hold it pressed in for
approx. 10 seconds (after about a
second, the ice cube maker will
switch off and the indicator light will
go out).
The indicator light will flash.
^
Push the ice cube drawer in as far as
it will go within the next 60 seconds.
The ice cube tray will then rotate into an
angled position which makes it easier
for cleaning:^Wait until the ice cube tray has
completed this rotation before
continuing.
^Then take the ice cube drawer out of
the appliance and clean it.
^Now clean the ice cube tray with hot
water and a little washing-up liquid or
sterilising fluid. Rinse thoroughly
afterwards.
^Press the On/Off button on the ice
cube maker.
^Then put the ice cube drawer back in
the appliance and close it.
The ice cube tray will return to its
original position.
The ice cube maker will begin to
produce ice cubes again after a
maximum of 6 hours.
If the ice cube maker has not been
used for a while, it is important to
clean the ice cube tray before using
it again.
Cleaning and care
43
 
						

							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 seal
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 refrigerator section.
^Place food back in the refrigerator
section, 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 section can cool
down quickly.
^Once the freezer section has
reached the required temperature,
place the food back in the freezer
drawers and shut them.
^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 refrigerator section or freezer
section does not get cold.
^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 that the mains fuse has not
tripped. If it has, contact the Miele
Service Department.
. . . 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 it from opening. Wait a few
minutes and then try again. It should
now open without force.. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
section 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 in at the same time for
freezing?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature 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.
One of the sections is too warm,
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
displays.
Check the temperature display about 6
hours after switching on the appliance.
Only temperatures within the range the
appliance can display will be shown...._F appears in the temperature
display.
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 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
section.

^Call the Service Department.
. . . you cannot switch the ice cube
maker on.
^Check whether the appliance is
connected to the electricity supply.
. . . the ice cube maker is not
producing any ice cubes.
^Was the water inlet pipe purged of air
by a qualified and competent person
before the appliance was used for
the first time?
^Check whether the ice cube maker is
switched on.
^Check whether the freezer section is
switched on.
^Check whether the water inlet is
open.
^
Check that the ice cube drawer has
been closed properly.
It can take up to 24 hours to produce
the first ice cubes.
. . . the ice cube maker is only
producing small ice cubes.
The size of ice cubes which are
produced over a certain period of time
will depend on the water pressure
present.
If the ice cube maker is only producing
small ice cubes, the water pressure is
low.^Lengthen the water intake time for the
ice cube maker (see Making ice
cubes).
. . . the indicator light on the ice cube
maker flashes.
The ice cube tray is in its cleaning
position (see Cleaning and care).
If this is not the case, then there is a
fault.
^Call the Service Department.
. . . you cannot switch the appliance
off.
The safety lock has been activated.
. . . the interior lighting in the
refrigerator section is not working.
^Was the door left open for too long?
