Miele Kfn 9755 Ide Operating And Installation Instructions

							Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time in
months which various foods can be
stored for effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
2-3 months:
Cakes, ice cream, stews
3-5 months:
Fish, mushrooms, bread
6-8 months:
Pork, veal, poultry
10-12 months:
Beef, fruit, vegetables
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
–in a microwave oven,
–in an oven using the Fan or
Defrost setting,
–at room temperature,
–in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),
–in a steam oven.
PoultryIt is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away
and wash the container it was in, the
sink and your hands. Danger of
salmonella poisoning.
Ensure thatmeat and fish(e.g mince,
chicken, fish fillets) do not come into
contact with other foods when thawing.
Collect the liquid and dispose of it
carefully.
Fruitshould be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetablescan be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
structure.

							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.
Cooling drinks
Do not store cans or bottles containing
carbonated drinks or liquids which
could freeze in the freezer section. The
cans or bottles could explode.
When cooling non-carbonated drinks
quickly in the freezer section, make
sure bottles are not left infor more
than one hour, otherwise they could
burst.
Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer rising too
quickly in the event of a power cut. This
can help to prolong the storage time.
^Place the cool pack in the top drawer
of the freezer.
The cool pack will be at its most
effective after it has been in the
freezer for approx. 24 hours.
In the event of a power cut:
^Place the frozen cool pack directly on
top of the frozen food in the front of
the top drawer.
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
mains water supply.
Switching on the ice cube
maker
^Switch on the freezer section.
^Pull out the ice cube drawer a little
way.
^Press the On/Off buttonaon the ice
cube maker. The indicator light will
come on.
^
Close the ice cube drawer.
The drawer must be completely shut
for ice cubes to be produced.
After the appliance is switched on for
the 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 up to a maximum of 6 hours for ice
cubes to be produced.
To ensure that the water pipes are
thoroughly flushed through before
use, ice cubes from the first three
ice cube making processes must
not be consumed.
This applies not only to when the
appliance is installed for the first
time but also if the appliance has
been out of use for a longer period
(e.g. whilst on holiday).
Making a large amount of ice cubes
The amount of ice cubes which the
appliance makes depends on the
temperature in the freezer. The lower
the temperature, the more ice cubes
are produced within a certain time
frame.
Ice cube production is halted
automatically as soon as the ice cube
drawer is full.
If you require a large amount of ice
cubes,
^
replace the full ice cube drawer with
the drawer beside it on the right.
The ice cube maker will begin to
produce ice cubes again as soon as
this new drawer has been placed in
position and closed properly.

							Switching off the ice cube
maker
The ice cube maker can be switched
off independently of the freezer if you
do not want the appliance to make any
ice cubes.
^Press the On/Off button on the ice
cube maker until the indicator light
goes out.
If the ice cube maker is switched off,
the ice cube drawer can be used as an
extra drawer for freezing fresh food and
storing frozen food.

							Refrigerator section
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is 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 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.

							Treat stainless steel surfaces with
Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent (available from Miele or
www.miele-shop.com).
Unlike stainless steel cleaning
agents, the conditioning agent does
not contain any abrasive substances
and will gently remove soiling. Each
time it is used, it forms a water and
dirt repellent protective coating.
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.To avoid damaging the surface of
your appliance, do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–solvent-based cleaning agents,
–stainless steel cleaning agents,
–dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– melamine eraser blocks,
– sharp metal scrapers.

							Before cleaning
^Switch the appliance off.
^Disconnect it from the mains.
^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 bottle shelf and condiment tray in
the door can be removed from their
stainless steel frames for cleaning.
To remove the stainless steel trim from
the lid of the butter and cheese
compartment (in the top of the door),
proceed as follows:
^Take the butter and cheese
compartment out of the refrigerator
section.
^Open the lid of the compartment.
The stainless steel trim is a tight fit
across the plastic lid and will require
sufficient force to detach it.
^
Detach the stainless steel trim from
the edge of the lid (1.) at one side
and remove.
^
Press the white plastic stoppers out
of notches (2.).
^
After cleaning, refit the stainless steel
trim onto the lid in the reverse order.
Cleaning the interior and
accessories
^Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
Remove soiling immediately to
prevent it from drying on.
Use lukewarm water with a little
washing-up liquid.
The following are dishwasher safe:
–the butter dish, egg trays, ice cube
tray (supplied as standard,
depending on model)
– the bottle and condiment shelves in
the door (removed from their stainless
steel frames)
– the butter and cheese compartment
(with the stainless steel trim removed)
The stainless steel frames and the
stainless steel trim on the butter and
cheese compartment in the door are
notsuitable for cleaning in a
dishwasher.
The temperature of the dishwasher
programme must not exceed 55 °C.
Contact with some foodstuffs, such
as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can
cause plastic items to discolour.
However, this discolouration will not
affect the stability of plastic items.
^
Clean the interior shelves and
drawers by hand. These arenot
suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher.
Cleaning and care
37
 
						

							^Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain hole if necessary.
^After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
^Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent can be used to remove any
soiling.
^It is important to treat the stainless
steel frames and trim with Miele
stainless steel conditioning agent
each time they are cleaned. This will
protect the surface and help prevent
resoiling.
Cleaning the ice cube tray
Ice cubes freeze in the ice cube tray
and then drop into the ice cube drawer
below.
Clean the ice cube tray regularly with
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid to remove residual ice and water.
The ice cube tray cannot be removed
and must be cleaned in situ.
You should also clean the ice cube
maker before switching off the
appliance for a long time (e.g. when
going on holiday).
^

cube maker for at least 12 seconds.
The indicator light flashes slowly at first
then quickly.
^Push the ice cube drawer in as far as
it will go within the next 60 seconds.
You will hear the ice cube tray turn so
that it is at an angle.
^
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.

							^Clean the ice cube traybin the ice
cube maker.
After cleaning
^Press the On/Off button on the ice
cube maker.
^Push the drawer all the way back into
the appliance.
You will hear the ice cube tray turn
back into position.
The ice cube maker will begin to
produce ice cubes again after a
maximum of 6 hours.
Discard the first three batches of ice
cubes after cleaning. They may
contain traces of washing-up liquid
and are unsuitable for consumption.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis 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 seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
After cleaning
^Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigerator section.
^Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
^Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer can cool down
quickly. The indicator light will come
on.
^Once the freezer has reached the
required temperature, place the food
back in the freezer drawers and put
them back in the freezer.

							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 appliance does not get cold.
^Check whether the respective section
is switched on. The relevant
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 the mains fuse has not tripped. If
it has there could be a fault with the
household electrical wiring, the
fridge-freezer or another electrical
appliance. Contact a qualified
electrician or Miele.
^
Check the temperature settings.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
section or freezer section is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
The Super freeze function is still on
and the Super freeze indicator light is
on.
The Super freeze function switches
itself off automatically after 30-60
hours.^The Super cool function is still on and
the Super cool indicator light is on.
The Super cool function switches
itself off automatically after approx. 6
hours.
^Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^Has a large amount of fresh food
been frozen at the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator to fall automatically.
. . . 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 compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth and in the housing unit at
the top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
^
The refrigerator door or the freezer
door has 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.
