Miele Kfn 9755 Ide Operating And Installation Instructions

							Correct use
~Never handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food or to the metal. Danger of
frost burn.
~Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice cubes
or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.
~Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food.
Defrosted food should be used up as
quickly as possible as food soon loses
its nutritional value and goes off.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
~Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Thermostats switching on may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard. Flammable compounds
could explode.
~Do not operate any electrical
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.
~If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed and stored upright. Danger of
explosion.
~Do not store cans or bottles
containing carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer
section. The cans or bottles couldexplode. Danger of injury and damage
to the appliance.
~When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour; otherwise they
could burst, causing injury or damage.
~Observe the use by dates given on
food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the
temperature at which it is stored. Follow
the instructions given on the food
manufacturers packaging regarding
storage conditions and use-by dates.
~Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
~Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
~Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals, as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.

							~If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil, make sure that it does not
come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress
cracks.
~Do not block the ventilation gap in
the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
~This 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.
~Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Disposal of your old appliance
~Before disposing of an old
appliance, first make the door latches
or locks unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
~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.

long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. Searching for an item will mean the
door is open for longer.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
appliance.Hot food will cause the compressor
to run for a long time, as the
appliance will have to work harder
to reduce the temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation of
liquids will cause a loss of coldness
in the refrigerator.
Place frozen food in the refrigerator
to defrost.
Do not over-fill the appliance to
allow air to circulate.
DefrostingDefrost the freezer section when a
layer of ice 0.5 cm thick (maximum)
has built up.A layer of ice hinders the cold from
reaching the frozen food, and
increases energy consumption.

							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,
– the more food that is stored in the
appliance,
– 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.
. . . for the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of4°C.
...inthefreezer section
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °Cis required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. Should the
temperature rise above -10 °C, the
micro-organisms will 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.
Setting the temperature in the
refrigerator section / freezer
section
Use the two buttons underneath the
respective temperature displays to set
the temperature for the refrigerator and
freezer sections.
Press the
+ button: to raise the temperature
(it gets warmer)
– button: to reduce the temperature
(it gets cooler).
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When pressing the buttons, the
following information shows in the
display:
–
When first pressed, thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
The correct temperature
17
 
						

							–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 thecurrent, average
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 give an accurate reading. 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, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.Temperature display
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 temperatures in the appliance are
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display, bars will flash in the
temperature displays.
Thetemperature displays flashif
–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.

							Temperature display brightness
The display goes out when the door is
closed.
The appliance is supplied with the
brightness of the temperature display
set as low as possible. However, if the
door is opened, a setting changed or if
the alarm is sounding, the temperature
display will appear much brighter for
approx. 1 minute.
The level of brightness can be
adjusted:
^Press and hold the Super freeze
button for approx. 5 seconds.
The Super freeze indicator light flashes
and a
;flashes in the temperature
display.
^
Press one of the temperature selector
buttons repeatedly until
^appears in
the display.
^
Then press the Super freeze button
again.
^lights up in the display.
^
You can now adjust the level of
brightness by pressing the
temperature selector buttons. You
can choose from settings1to5:
1: dimmest setting,
5: brightest setting.^Press the Super freeze button to save
the setting.
^Press the master switch on the right
hand side of the control panel to
come out of the setting mode.
Otherwise the electronics will revert
to normal operation after a couple of
minutes.

							Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer section
cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid
energy being wasted if a door is left
open.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.
Temperature alarm
If thefreezer section temperature
becomes too warm, an alarm will sound
and the freezer section temperature
display and the alarm off indicator light
will flash.
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 and alarm off
indicator light will flash, for example,
–
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.
–
in the event of a power cut.
–
the appliance is faulty.
If the temperature inside the
appliance is warmer than -18°C for a
longer period of time, check that the
food has not started to thaw or
defrost. If it has, check that it is still
safe to eat, and use it as quickly as
possible.
Once the set temperature has been
reached in the freezer section, the
alarm switches off and the temperature
display and the alarm off indicator will
stop flashing and light up constantly.
Door alarm
The alarm will sound if a door is left
open for more than 60 seconds.
The alarm will stop as soon as the door
is closed.
Switching the alarm off early
If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off early if you wish.
^
Press the alarm off button.
The alarm will stop.
The temperature display and the
alarm off indicator light will continue
to flash until the set temperature has
been reached.
