Miele Kfn 8762 Sed Operating And Installation Instructions

							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. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
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.
Disconnect it from the mains. Cut
off the cable and render any plug
unusable.
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.

							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,
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– 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.
. . . in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of4 °C
in the refrigerator section.
. . . in the freezer section
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature
colder than-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 selection in the
refrigerator / freezer section
The temperatures for the refrigerator
section and for the freezer section are
set independently from one another
using the two buttons under the
appropriate temperature display.
Press the
left button: to raise the temperature
right button: to reduce the temperature
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The correct temperature

							After setting the temperature you can
see the following information in the
display by pressing the buttons:
–When first pressed, thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
–Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button the currentactual
temperature 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 show the accurate
temperature of the appliance. 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 -16 °C to
-26 °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, theappliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
Temperature displays
During normal operation the
temperature displays on the control
panel show the temperature in the
middle of the refrigerator section and
the temperature in the warmest part of
the freezer section.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display (above 0 °C in the
refrigerator section, and below 0 °C in
the freezer section), bars will flash in
the temperature displays.
Thetemperature displays flash, if
– a different temperature is being set,
– the temperature in the appliance has
risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.
This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:
–
when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
–
when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above -18 °C
for a long time, check that the frozen
food has not started to defrost. If it has
started thawing, check that the food is
safe to use and if it is, use it as quickly
as possible.

							Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer section
cannot rise unnoticed.
An alarm will sound and the freezer
section temperature display will flash if
the temperature in the freezer section
becomes too warm.  The temperature
the appliance is set at determines the
temperature the appliance recognises
as being too warm.
The alarm will sound and the
temperature display will flash,
–if the freezer door has been left open
for a while, e.g. in order to load, to
re-arrange or to take food out.
– when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
Door alarm
The alarm will sound if the freezer
section door has been left open for
more than approx. 60 seconds.
Switching on the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.
Switching the alarm off early
Once the set temperature has been
reached in the freezer section, the
alarm switches off and the temperature
display stops flashing and lights up
constantly. However, if the noise
disturbs you, you can turn the alarm off
before this if you wish.
^Press the alarm off button.
The alarm will stop. The temperature
display will continue to flash until the
set temperature has been reached.
The display then stops flashing and
lights up constantly. The alarm
system is now ready should it be
needed again.

							Super cool
The Super cool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator section to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Switching on Super cool
Super cool is particularly
recommended for faster chilling of
large amounts of fresh food or drink.
^Press the Super cool button, the
Super cool indicator light will come
on.
The appliance works at full power to
lower the temperature in the
refrigerator section.
Switching off Super cool
The Super cool function switches itself
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
The indicator light goes out and the
appliance continues running at normal
power.
To save energy, the Super cool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^
Press the Super cool button. The
Super cool indicator light will go out,
and the appliance will continue to
operate at normal power.
Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells, which
then shrink.
During the defrosting process, only
some of this water is reabsorbed by the
cells; the rest collects around the food.
In practice this means that the food
loses a large degree of its moisture.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink less. As there is not so much
moisture, it is easier for the food to
reabsorb it during the defrosting
process. There will be very little water
around the defrosted food.
