Miele Kfn 8995 Seed Operating And Installation Instructions

							Cooling drinks
To quickly cool drinks, it is
recommended to use the SuperCool
function in the refrigerator section.
However, if you choose instead to
place bottles in the freezer section for
rapid cooling, make sure that they are
not left in for more than one hour, as
they could burst.
Freezer tray
(may vary by model)
The freezer tray is useful for freezing
small items such as berries, herbs and
vegetables. These can be frozen
individually to 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
(may vary by model)
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer from rising
too quickly in the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack in the upper
drawer directly on top of food, or on the
freezer tray to save space. 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.

							For the automatic ice cube maker to
operate, it must be connected to the
household water line.
Switching the ice cube maker
ON
^Switch the freezer ON.
^Open the top left drawer in the
freezer section.
^Press the ON/OFF button, and the
indicator light will now come on.
^Close the drawer.
The drawer must be completely shut
for ice cubes to be produced.
After the appliance is turned on for the
very first time, it can take up to 24 hours
for the first ice cubes to drop out of the
ice cube maker and collect in the
drawer. Thereafter, when the ice cube
maker is switched off and then on again
it will take a maximum of 6 hours for ice
to be produced.
To ensure that the water pipes are
thoroughly flushed through, you
must not consume the first three
batches of ice from the ice maker.
This applies not only when the
appliance is first being used after
installation, but also if it has been
out of use for a longer period of time
(for example, after being away on
holiday).
Making a large amount of ice cubes
The amount of ice cubes made
depends on the temperature in the
freezer section. The lower the
temperature, the more ice cubes are
produced within a given period of time.
Once the ice cube drawer is full, ice
cube production is automatically
halted.
If you require a large amount of ice
cubes,
^replace the full ice cube drawer with
the drawer beside it on the right.
Once the empty drawer has been
placed in position and closed properly,
the ice cube maker will begin to
produce new ice cubes again.

							Switching OFF the ice cube
maker
If you do not want the appliance to
make any ice cubes, the ice cube
maker can be switched off
independently of the freezer section.
^Press the ON/OFF button on the ice
cube maker, and the indicator light
will now come on.
If the ice cube maker is switched off,
the ice cube drawer can be used as an
extra drawer for freezing fresh food or
storing frozen food.

							Refrigerator section
During normal operation, condensate
and frost can form on the back wall of
the refigerator section. These are
automatically removed by the
appliance during automatic defrosting.
The condensate is drained away
through a channel and drain hole, then
fed into an evaporation system at the
back of the appliance.
It is important to keep the
condensate channel and drain hole
clean and free of blockages, so that
the condensate can flow away
properly.
Freezer section
The freezer is equipped with a
frost-free system, which automatically
defrosts the freezer section as needed,
to prevent build-up.
The moisture generated in the
appliance collects on the condenser,
and is automatically defrosted and
evaporated periodically.
This automatic defrosting system keeps
the freezer section permanently
ice-free, while ensuring that the food
stored in the freezer section does not
defrost.

							Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda (sodium
carbonate), acids or chemical
solvents.
Non-abrasive cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matte areas to appear.
Stainless steel surfaces can be
treated using a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
(available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department). Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions (on the
packaging).
Do not let water enter the electronic
unit, the glass-edge lighting, the
door display or the ventilation slits.
When cleaning, do not let water
enter the drainage channel or drain
hole.
Do not use steam-cleaning
equipment to clean this 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 that will be
required in the event of a Service
call.
Before cleaning
^Switch the appliance off by pressing
both On/Off switches, then unplug it.
^Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^Take out any removable parts, e.g.,
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the housing, interior
and accessories
Use warm water with a bit of
dishwashing liquid. Wash all
accessories by hand only. Do not wash
in a dishwasher. However, the butter
dish and the transparent trim at the
front of the glass shelves are
dishwasher safe.
^Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
^To make it easier to clean the
refrigerator shelves, you can remove
the trim from the front, and the
glass-edge lighting from the back.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole in the refrigerator section
frequently so that condensate can
drain away unhindered. Use a straw
or similar item to clear the drain as
needed.
^
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent, according to
the manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging. Do NOT use stainless
steel cleaner on the door display.
Cleaning and care

							^After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth, then
dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors
open to air the appliance for a short
while.
E-Cloth
^A microfibre E-Cloth is available
from the Miele Spare Parts
Department. The E-Cloth is suitable
for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
Cleaning the ice cube tray
(may vary by model)
The ice cubes are formed in a tray
before they are dropped down into the
drawer.
The tray should be cleaned regularly to
remove any stale ice or water.
^Connect the appliance to the
electricity supply.
^
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 for approx. 10
seconds (after about 1 second the
ice cube maker will switch off and the
indicator light will go out).
The indicator lamp will flash.
^
Within the next 60 seconds, push the
ice cube drawer in as far as it will go.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.
^Now take the ice cube drawer out of
the appliance and clean it.
^Next, clean the ice cube tray with hot
water and a bit of dishwashing liquid.
Rinse thoroughly.
^Press the On/Off button on the ice
cube maker.
The ice cube tray will return to its
original position.
^
Now put the ice cube drawer back in
the appliance and close it.
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.

							Ventilation slits
^The ventilation slits 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 they will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, then wiped
dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance is the heat exchanger, and
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 become broken
or damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^Return all shelves and accessories to
the refrigerator section.
^Place food back in the refrigerator
section, close the doors, and switch
on the refrigerator section and the
freezer section.
^Switch on the SuperFreeze function
so that the freezer section will 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 SuperFreeze by pressing
the SuperFreeze button.
The indicator light will go out.

							Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict compliance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer will
not be held responsible for damage
or injury arising from unauthorized
work.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if...
. . . the refrigerator section or freezer
section does not get cold?
^Check whether the appliance is
switched on. The temperature display
must be lit up.
^
Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and has not been 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 the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes, 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.
^SuperFreeze or SuperCool has not
yet switched itself off? The
corresponding indicator light is on,
and SUPER appears in the door
display.
. . . the appliance is kicking on too
frequently and for too long?
^Check whether the ventilation slits
under the base (plinth) are blocked
or dusty.
^Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become 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.
. . . food has frozen together?
Use a blunt instrument, e.g., a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to pry it apart
carefully.
. . . light-coloured lines appear in the
door display?
^
The appliance may have been
disconnected from the electricity
supply briefly.
This is not a fault. The light-coloured
lines will disappear after a while.
