Miele Kfn 8767 Sed Operating And Installation Instructions

							Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long.  Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Ice cubes
(with or without release button
depending on model)
^Press down the release button on the
ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa-
ter. Any excess will flow out through
the outlet.
^Now pull the release button up to
seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray
on the bottom of one of the freezer
drawers.
^
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to
remove the ice tray from the freezer.
^
Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.
Cooling drinks
Drinks are best cooled quickly in the
refrigerator section using the Super
cool function. If bottles are, however,
placed in the freezer section for rapid
cooling, make sure they are not left in
for more than one hour, as they could
burst.
Freezer tray
The freezer tray is useful for freezing
small items such as berries and
vegetables. They can be frozen
individually and therefore maintain their
shape when defrosted.
^Space the food out loosely on the
tray.
^
Hang the tray in one of the upper
freezer drawers.
Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze
thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a
freezer bag or suitable container once
frozen. Place the bag or container in
the freezer drawer.

							Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer rising too
quickly in the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack in the upper
drawer directly on top of food or to save
space on the freezer tray. The cool
pack will be at its most effective after it
has been in the freezer for approx. 24
hours.
If there is a power cut, place the cool
pack directly on top of the frozen food
in the upper drawer so that the food will
be kept cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the cool pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.
The cool pack can also be used in a
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for
a short period of time.

							Refrigerator section and
StayFresh zone
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the StayFresh zone whilst in use.
These are automatically removed and
defrosted 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 freezer is equipped with a Frost
free system. The freezer defrosts
automatically.
The moisture generated by defrosting
collects in the condenser and is
automatically dissipated by the
condenser from time to time.
This enables the freezer section to
remain permanently ice-free while the
food remains frozen. Food stored in the
freezer will not defrost in the freezer.
Defrosting

							Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids or
chemical solvents. Non-abrasive
cleaning agents are also unsuitable
as they can cause matt areas to
appear.
For stainless steel surfaces, use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaning
agent.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit, ventilation gaps or
into 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 by pressing
the master switch, switching off at the
wall socket and removing 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 stainless steel trim can be pulled
off the front edge of the refrigerator
section shelves for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use warm water with a little washing up
liquid. Wash all accessories by hand
only. Do not wash in a dishwasher. The
butter dish is, however, dishwasher
safe.
^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.
^Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
^
After cleaning, wipe the 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.
^
A microfibre E-Cloth is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department, which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals.
Cleaning and care
34
 
						

							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 seals
Do not use any grease or oil 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 and the
StayFresh zone.
^Place food back in the refrigerator
section and the StayFresh zone,
close the appliance doors, insert the
plug in the socket and switch the
refrigerator section and the freezer
section on.
^Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer section can cool
down quickly. The indicator light will
come on.
^Once the temperature in the freezer
section has reached the required
temperature, place the food back in
the freezer drawers and slide the
drawers back into the freezer section.
^Switch off Super freeze by pressing
the Super freeze button when the
temperature in the freezer is a
constant -18 °C or colder.
The indicator light will go out.

							Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for unauthorised work.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Service
Department.
What to do if . . .
. . . the refrigerator section or freezer
section does not get cool.
^Check whether the respective section
is switched on. The relevant
temperature display must be lit up.
^Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket and switched
on.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has, contact the Miele Ser-
vice 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 the door 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 in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically.
^Super cool has not switched itself off.
Super cool only switches itself off
after 6 hours.
^Super freeze has not switched itself
off. Super freeze only switches itself
off after 30-65 hours.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
too 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 is running
constantly
When the appliance is sufficiently cold
inside, the compressor will switch on for
longer, but at a low setting to save
energy.
. . . 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 freezer
section temperature display flashes.
The freezer section temperature has
risen above the set temperature
because
^
the freezer section door has been
opened too frequently, or large
amounts of fresh food have been put
in at once for freezing.
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked.Once the problem has been resolved
the freezer section temperature display
will light up constantly and the alarm
will go off.
...a bar is lit up or flashing in the
temperature displays.
Check the temperature displays about
6 hours after switching on the
appliance. The display will not show a
temperature until the temperature in the
appliance has reached a certain level.
. . . the following appear in one of the
temperature displays F0 to F5.
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
. . . an alarm sounds and nA
appears in the freezer section
temperature display.
The freezer section temperature has
risen too high at some point during the
last couple of days because of a power
cut.
^
Press the alarm off button whilst 
nA
is lit up in the display.
The alarm will stop and 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.
At the end of a power cut, the
appliance will start operating again at
the last temperature setting selected.
. . . the super freeze or super cool
indicator light is not lit up although
the appliance is working.
The indicator light is defective. Call the
Service Department.
...you cannot switch the appliance
off.
The safety lock has been activated.
. . . the interior light in the refrigerator
section is not working.
^Was the refrigerator section door left
open for too long? The lighting
switches itself off automatically after
approx. 15 minutes.
If this is not the case, then the lamp is
defective:
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains fuse or remove
the screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.^Press the sides of the lamp cover
inwards (1), disengage the cover (2)
and unclip it at the rear.
^Replace the lamp.
Lamp specification:
220 - 240 V, max. 25 W, E 14 fitting.
^Screw the new lamp into the
connection. Ensure it goes in
correctly and make sure that seal (3)
makes a tight fit.
^
Replace the cover by clipping it in at
the rear and then pressing it in at the
sides.
. . . the floor of the refrigerator is wet.
The drain hole is blocked.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole.
