Warning and Safety instructions 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.
Where the ideal ambient room temperature is approx. 20°C. With a medium setting of 2 to 3. Cellar section 8 to 12°C Refrigerator section 4 to 5 °C PerfectFresh zone just above 0 °C Freezer section -18°C Wine storage section 10 to 12 °C...

How to save energy Defrosting Normal energy consumption Defrost the freezer compartment when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick has built up. Increased energy consumption A layer of ice hinders the cold from reaching the frozen food, and causes an increase in energy consumption.
^ Treat the stainless steel surfaces with a proprietary stainless steel conditioner immediately after removing the foil (available from the Miele Spare Parts department or via the internet on www.miele.co.uk). Important! A stainless steel conditioner gives long lasting protection, and helps to prevent resoiling.
^ Press the On/Off button for the refrigerator section/PerfectFresh zone on the left hand side of the control panel until the temperature display for the refrigerator section goes out. To switch the refrigerator section/PerfectFresh zone back on again ^ Press the On/Off button on the left hand side of the control panel again.
^ Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel to come out of the setting mode. If you do not do this, the electronics will switch over to normal operation automatically after a couple of minutes.

(climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed..in the refrigerator and the PerfectFresh zone We recommend a temperature of 4 °C in the refrigerator. The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 0 to 3 °C.
Temperature display During normal operation, the temperature displays on the control panel show the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section and appears the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section. If the temperatures in the appliance are...
Temperature display brightness 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.
Alarm 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 at the same time the temperature display for the freezer section will flash if the temperature becomes too warm.
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 the faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Page 24
Super cool and Super freeze Switching off Super freeze Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer section, the Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 30 to 60 hours. The Super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at normal power.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator. Do not cover the fan in the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this is essential for keeping the appliance cool.
Once food has started to deteriorate, this process cannot be reversed. As little as two hours outside the refrigerator can cause food to start deteriorating. Storing food correctly Food should generally be stored...
The dry compartment The dry compartment has a relatively low humidity level that is approx. the same as that in the refrigerator. So the main advantage of the dry compartment is the low temperature of 0 °C, rather than the humidity.
Using the PerfectFresh zone Always keep these foods covered or wrapped. Exception: Meat The surface of the meat dries out slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria, which results in the meat lasting longer. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination and meat deteriorating, do not let one type of meat come into direct contact with...

Using the PerfectFresh zone Examples of fruit and vegetables which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears, figs, blueberries, melons and beans. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels...
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.
^ Carefully pull out the lid between the compartments slightly, and lift it down and out. ^ To replace it, insert the compartment lid from beneath into the holders, and push it back into place. To replace the compartment, ^ place it back on the fully extended runners a.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: "Freezing capacity ...kg/24 hrs".
Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing – The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.
Freezing and storing food Before placing food in the freezer section ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost.
– 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.
Freezing and storing food Freezer tray The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries, herbs and vegetables. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted. ^ Space the food out loosely on the tray.
The refrigerator and the PerfectFresh zone defrost automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the refrigerator.
Page 38
Defrosting the appliance To speed up defrosting, two bowls of hot water (not boiling) with plates underneath them can be placed in the appliance. Closing the door in this instance will help retain warmth and speed up the defrosting process. We do not recommend the use of hot air blowers such as hairdryers for defrosting your freezer.
To help prevent re-soiling, treat stainless steel surfaces with a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele.co. uk). Do not let water get into the electronic unit or into the light.
After cleaning ^ Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigerator section. ^ Place food back in the refrigerator section, close the appliance doors, insert the plug in the socket and switch the refrigerator section and the freezer section on.
^ Check that the fuse is not defective and that the mains fuse has not tripped. If it has, contact the Miele Service Department. Problem solving guide . . . the temperature in the refrigerator section or freezer section is too low.
