Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Old appliances contain materials which  
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please  
contact your dealer, your waste collec-  
tion centre or scrap merchant about  
potential recycling schemes.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
Make sure that the pipework is not  
damaged whilst moving an old appli-  
ance. This is to ensure that the refriger-  
ant and oil in the compressor cannot  
leak into the environment. It is important  
that they are disposed of in a safe  
manner by authorised persons only.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Ensure that the appliance presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
See the appropriate section in the  
Warning and safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
This appliance complies with all rele-  
This appliance contains the coolant  
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas  
which is very environment friendly. Al-  
though it is flammable, it does not dam-  
age the ozone layer and does not in-  
crease the green house effect. The use  
of this environment friendly coolant has,  
however, led to a slight increase in the  
noise level of the appliance. In addition  
to the noise of the compressor, you  
might be able to hear the coolant flow-  
ing around the system. This is unavoid-  
able, but does not have any adverse ef-  
fect on the performance of the appli-  
ance.  
Care must be taken during transporta-  
tion and setting up of the appliance that  
no parts of the coolant system are dam-  
aged. Leaking coolant can damage the  
eyes.  
In the event of any damage:  
- avoid open fires  
vant legal safety requirements. Inap-  
propriate use can however lead to  
personal injury and damage to prop-  
erty.  
Read the operating instructions  
carefully before starting to use this  
appliance. They contain important  
notes on installation, safety, opera-  
tion and care of the appliance. This  
way you will avoid the risk of acci-  
dents and damage to the appliance.  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and pass them on to  
any future user.  
Correct use  
This appliance is intended for do-  
mestic use only for the cool stor-  
age of food and drink as well as for  
storing deep frozen food, freezing fresh  
food and for preparing ice. Any other  
usage is not supported by the manu-  
facturer and could be dangerous. The  
manufacturer cannot be held liable for  
damage caused by improper use of the  
appliance.  
and anything which creates a spark,  
- disconnect from the mains,  
- air the room in which the appliance is  
located for several minutes and  
- contact the Service Department  
for advice.  
The more refrigerant there is in an  
appliance, the larger the room it  
should be installed in. In the event of a  
leakage, if the appliance is in a small  
room, there is the danger of combusti-  
ble gases building up.  
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3  
room space is required. The amount of  
coolant in the appliance is stated on the  
data plate inside the appliance.

pull on the cable, only on the plug.  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed in  
countries where this is applicable.  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead.  
Extension leads do not guarantee the  
required safety of the appliance (e.g.  
danger of overheating).  
Safe operation of the appliance is  
only assured if it has been installed  
and connected in accordance with  
these operating and installation instruc-  
tions.  
Operation  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk assess-  
ment of the installation being carried  
out by a suitably qualified engineer.  
Never handle frozen food with wet  
hands. Your hands may freeze to  
the frozen food. 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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not refreeze thawed or partially  
Do not use sharp edged objects to  
– remove frost and ice,  
thawed food. Defrosted food  
should be used up as quickly as possi-  
ble as food soon loses its nutritional  
value and goes off. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
– separate frozen foods and remove  
ice trays.  
They will damage the evaporator caus-  
ing irreversible damage to the appli-  
ance.  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products con-  
taining propellants (e.g. spray cans).  
Switching on thermostats may produce  
sparks which could present a fire haz-  
ard.  
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 could contain sub-  
stances which could damage the plas-  
tic parts and which may cause the build  
up of gases and pose a danger to  
health.  
If storing alcohol with a high per-  
centage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed and stored upright.  
Danger of explosion.  
Do not store cans or bottles con-  
taining carbonated drinks or liquids  
which could freeze in the freezer. The  
cans or bottles could explode.  
Danger of injury and damage to the ap-  
pliance.  
Do not use any oils or grease on  
the door seals as these will cause  
the seals to deteriorate and become  
porous with time.  
Do not store cooking oil in the ap-  
pliance door. Traces of oil can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components in the door.  
When cooling drinks quickly in the  
freezer make sure bottles are not  
left in for more than one hour, otherwise  
they could burst. Danger of injury and  
damage to the appliance.  
Do not block the ventilation gaps in  
the appliance as this would impair  
the efficiency of the appliance, increase  
the electricity consumption and could  
cause damage to the appliance.  
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 tem-  
perature at which it is stored. Follow the  
instructions given on food manufac-  
turer’s packaging on storage conditions  
required as well as the "use by" date.

Warning and Safety instructions  
The appliance is designed for a  
use within certain climate ranges  
(ambient temperatures). It must not be  
used in ranges for which it is not de-  
signed. The climate range for your ap-  
pliance is stated on the data plate in-  
side the appliance.  
Installing it in a room with too low an  
ambient temperature will lead to the ap-  
pliance switching off for longer periods  
so that it cannot maintain the required  
temperature.  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Before disposing of an old appli-  
ance first make the door latch or  
lock unusable.  
This way you will prevent children from  
accidentally locking themselves in and  
endangering their lives.  
Before disposing of an old appli-  
ance, unplug it and render the plug  
useless. Cut off the cable directly be-  
hind the appliance and at the plug to  
prevent misuse.  
Never use a steam-cleaning appli-  
ance to defrost or clean this appli-  
ance. Pressurised steam could reach  
the electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
Be careful not to damage any part  
of the pipework whilst awaiting dis-  
posal, e.g. by  
– puncturing the refrigerant channels  
in the evaporator.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the appli-  
ance and its surrounding in a clean  
condition at all times. Any damage  
which may caused by cockroaches or  
vermin will not be covered by the appli-  
ance guarantee.  
– 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.

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the ap-  
pliance. Micro organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Tem-  
perature influences the growth rate of  
these micro organisms. Reducing the  
temperature reduces their growth rate.  
. . . in the freezer  
For freezing fresh food and storing  
frozen food for a long time a tempera-  
ture of at least -18 °C is needed. At this  
temperature the growth of micro organ-  
isms is generally halted. As soon as the  
temperature rises to above -10 °C, the  
micro organisms 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.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
Temperature selection  
The temperatures for the refrigerator  
section and for the freezer section are  
set independently from one another us-  
ing the buttons to the right and left  
hand sides of the temperature displays.

Temperature displays  
If you have adjusted the temperature,  
wait for approx. 6 hours if the appli-  
ance is not very full and for approx.  
24 hours if the appliance is full before  
checking the temperature display as it  
will take this long for the display to  
show the accurate temperature of the  
appliance. If, after this time, the temper-  
ature is too high or too low, you will  
need to adjust it again.  
During normal operation the tempera-  
ture display shows the temperature in  
the middle of the refrigerator section  
and the temperature in the warmest  
part of the freezer section.  
If the temperature in the appliance is  
not within the range that the appliance  
is able to display (i.e. if it is not between  
0 °C and 19 °C in the refrigerator sec-  
tion, and if the temperature in the  
freezer section is above 0 °C), only a  
bar will light up in the temperature dis-  
plays.  
It will take between 3 and 8 hours ap-  
proximately for the appliance to reach  
the required temperature. The time it  
takes will depend on where the appli-  
ance is located and the temperature  
setting selected.

Alarm  
Your appliance has been fitted with a  
warning system which ensures that the  
temperature in the freezer section can-  
not rise unnoticed. It is always active. If  
the temperature in the freezer gets too  
warm an alarm will sound and the tem-  
perature display for the freezer section  
will flash. The temperature the appli-  
ance is set at determines the tempera-  
ture the appliance recognises as being  
too warm.  
Switching the alarm tone off  
early  
Once the set temperature has been  
reached in the freezer section, the  
alarm tone stops and the temperature is  
displayed constantly. However, if the  
noise disturbs you, you can turn the  
alarm tone off before this if you wish.  
The alarm will sound and the tempera-  
ture display will flash:  
– when the freezer is switched on.  
^ Press the alarm button. The alarm  
stops. The temperature display con-  
tinues to flash until the set tempera-  
ture has been reached. It then lights  
up constantly. It does not go out until  
the set temperature range has been  
reached.  
– when the freezer section door has  
been left open for a while, e.g. in or-  
der to load, to re-arrange or to take  
food out.  
– when freezing large amounts of food.  
– when there has been a lengthy inter-  
ruption to the power supply.

as possible. This way the nutritional  
value of the food, its vitamin content,  
appearance and taste are not impaired.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells which  
then shrink.  
During the defrosting process only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells. The rest collects around the food.  
In practice this means that the food  
loses a large degree of its moisture.  
Switching on super cool  
Super cool is particularly recom-  
mended for faster chilling of large  
amounts of fresh food or drink.  
If food is frozen quickly the cells have  
less time to lose moisture so they shrink  
less. As there is not so much moisture,  
it is easier for the food to reabsorb it  
during the defrosting process. There  
will be very little water around the de-  
frosted food.  
^ Press the super cool button, the  
super cool indicator light will come  
on.  
The appliance works at full power to  
lower the temperature in the refrigera-  
tor section.  
Super freeze is not necessary:  
– when putting in frozen food.

– when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food  
daily.  
The super cool function switches itself  
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.

pliance continues running at normal  
power.  
To save energy the super cool function  
can be switched off once food and  
drinks are sufficiently chilled.

When freezing small quantities of food  
in the freezer, the super freeze function  
should be switched on 4 - 6 hours be-

Using the refrigerator section efficiently  
Different storage zones  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products con-  
taining combustible gas (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
Natural air circulation gives rise to dif-  
ferent temperature zones inside the re-  
frigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks  
to the lowest section of the appliance.  
Make use of the different zones when  
placing food in the appliance.  
If storing alcohol with a high per-  
centage proof, make sure it is tightly  
closed, and store upright.  
Coldest zone  
The coldest zone in the refrigerator sec-  
tion is directly above the vegetable  
containers.  
Do not store cooking oil in the refrig-  
erator door.  
Traces of oil can cause stress  
cracks to occur in the plastic com-  
ponents in the door.  
Use this for all delicate and highly per-  
ishable food, e.g.  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance. Otherwise it may  
freeze to the back wall.  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream  
Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.  
These include:  
– soft cheese and other dairy prod-  
ucts,  
– Fruit and vegetables which are sensi-  
tive to cold, such as bananas, avo-  
cado pears, papaya, passion fruit,  
aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and  
cucumbers  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a minimum temper-  
ature of 4 °C.  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
Warmest zone  
The warmest zone is in the top section  
of the refrigerator door. Use this for stor- – Some hard cheeses  
ing butter and cheese.

Using the refrigerator section efficiently  
Storing food correctly  
Energy saving tips  
Store food covered or packaged. This  
will prevent food smells or tastes from  
affecting other foods and prevent food  
from drying out. The growth of bacteria,  
such as salmonella, can be avoided by  
setting the correct temperature and  
maintaining good standards of hygiene.  
– Frequently opening the door or keep-  
ing it open for too long will cause the  
temperature in the appliance to rise.  
The appliance will have to run more  
often in order to maintain the cool  
temperature inside the appliance.  
Only open the door when you need  
to and then only for as long as nec-  
essary.  
Fruit and vegetables  
Fruit and vegetables can be stored  
loose in the vegetable containers. How-  
ever, you should bear in mind that  
some types of vegetables give off a  
natural gas which speeds up the rate at  
which food perishes. Some fruit and  
vegetables react stongly to this gas  
and should not be stored together in  
the vegetable containers.  
– If you organise where you store your  
food correctly you should be able to  
find things quickly and easily without  
allowing the temperature in the appli-  
ance to rise. Sort the food out care-  
fully before putting it into the appli-  
ance.  
– Hot food and drinks must be cooled  
to room temperature before placing  
them in the appliance.  
Examples of fruit which produce a  
large amount of this natural gas are:  
– Do not store groceries too close to  
each other. Space should be left be-  
tween individual items for air to circu-  
late.  
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,  
peaches, plums, avocado pears and  
figs.  
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  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,  
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,  
pears, nectarines and peaches.

Freezing and storing food  
Maximum freezing capacity  
Home freezing  
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 ex-  
ceeded. The maximum freezing capac-  
ity for freezing within a 24 hour period is  
given on the data plate "Freezing ca-  
pacity ....kg/24 hrs".  
Only freeze fresh food which is in a  
good condition.  
Hints on home freezing  
– The following types of food are suit-  
able for freezing :  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, veg-  
etables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy prod-  
ucts, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg  
whites and a range of pre-cooked  
meals.  
Storing frozen food  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer check  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing :  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use by date,  
grapes, lettuces, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop.  
To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
The length of time it can be kept is re-  
duced if it has been stored at a  
temperaure warmer than -18 °C.  
washed. To blanch: bring a large  
saucepan of water to the boil, im-  
merse the vegetables in the fast boil-  
ing water for 2-3 minutes, depending  
on variety. Remove and cool quickly  
in cold water. Drain and pack ready  
for freezing.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have fin-  
ished the rest of your shopping and  
wrap it in newspaper or use a cool  
bag or box to transport it.  
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as pos-  
sible.  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat and can be stored for consider-  
ably longer.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-  
frosted 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.  
To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
22  
 
 
Freezing and storing food  
– Do not season fresh foods or  
blanched vegetables before freez-  
ing. Only season cooked food lightly  
before freezing but care should be  
taken as the taste of some spices al-  
ters when frozen.  
– dustbin liners  
– plastic carrier bags  
Before placing food in the freezer  
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of  
fresh food, switch on the Super  
freeze function for a while before  
placing the food in the freezer (see  
"Super freeze").  
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in  
the freezer. This causes already  
frozen food to thaw and increases  
the energy consumption consider-  
ably. Allow hot foods and drinks to  
cool down before placing them in the  
freezer.  
Placing in the freezer  
Fresh food can be placed in any  
drawer for freezing, however it is prefer-  
able to use the upper drawers. Large  
quantities can be placed directly on the  
evaporator plates to freeze the food  
quickly. To do this first take out one or  
several freezer drawers.  
Packing  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
Suitable packing material  
– plastic freezer film  
– freezer bags  
– freezer containers  
– aluminium foil  
Do not place frozen food, even if it is  
in a flat package, in the space be-  
tween the roof of the freezer and the  
top evaporator plate. This space is  
important for an unhindered air cir-  
culation and troublefree operation of  
the appliance.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed us-  
ing home heat sealing kits.  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them to pre-  
vent freezer burn on food.  
Each drawer and evaporator plate  
can be loaded with a maximum of  
25 kg.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
– rubber bands  
– plastic clips  
– string or bag ties  
– cold resistant adhesive tape.  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the drawers or on the evaporator  
plates in the freezer so that it freezes  
through to the core as quickly as pos-  
sible.  
^ Make a note of the contents and the  
date of freezing on the packaging.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
unsuitable packing material  
– wrapping paper  
– grease-proof paper  
– cellophane

Freezing and storing food  
month the food was first placed in the  
freezer.  
When freezing, make sure that food  
already frozen does not come into  
contact with fresh food being frozen  
as this could cause the frozen food  
to begin to defrost.  
Defrosting  
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ-  
ent ways:  
Freezer calendar  
– in the microwave oven,  
The freezer calendar on the freezer  
drawer gives the length of time which  
various foods can be stored effectively.  
– in the oven using the "Fan" or "De-  
frost" setting,  
– at room temperature,  
– in the fridge.  
Where the storage time given on the  
packaging differs, follow the advice on  
the packaging.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-  
perature in its packing or in a covered  
bowl.  
Marker system for frozen food  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh vege-  
tables.  
Markers serve as a reminder of how  
long food has been stored.  
Each freezer drawer has two slide  
markers with dials. The months are rep-  
resented on the dials as 1 – 12.  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when de-  
frosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and  
wash the container it was in, the sink  
and your hands.  
Warning  
Never re-freeze partially of fully de-  
frosted 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.  
^ Slide the markers onto the guide run-  
ners on the edge of the drawers.  
Use the markers to indicate the type of  
food being frozen and turn the dials to  
the appropriate number to indicate the  
24  
 
 
Freezing and storing food  
Ice cubes  
Freezer tray  
(depending on model)  
The freezer tray can be used for freez-  
ing soft fruit, herbs, small items etc. The  
tray allows you to space out the food so  
that it does not stick together and  
keeps its shape.  
^ 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 re-  
move the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ Place the food on the tray.  
^ Hang the tray in one of the upper  
freezer drawers.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
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.  
Cooling drinks  
Drinks are best cooled quickly in the re-  
frigerator section using the Super cool  
function. If bottles are, however, placed  
in the freezer for rapid cooling, make  
sure bottles are not left in the freezer for  
more than one hour, as they could  
burst.  
25  
 
 
Freezing and storing food  
Ice pack  
(Depending on model)  
The ice pack prevents the temperature  
in the freezer rising too quickly in the  
event of a power cut.  
Place the ice pack in the upper drawer  
directly on top of food or to save space  
on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be  
at its most effective after it has been in  
the freezer for approx. 24 hours.  
If there is a power cut lay the ice pack  
directly on top of the frozen food in the  
upper drawer so that the food will be  
kept cold for the longest time possible.  
When placing fresh food in the freezer,  
use the ice pack to separate the fresh  
food from the food which is already  
frozen so that the frozen food does not  
begin to thaw.  
The ice pack can also be used in a cool  
bag to keep food or drinks cool for a  
short period of time.  
26  
 
 
Defrosting  
Refrigerator section  
Before defrosting  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the refrigerator section  
whilst it is in use. These are automati-  
cally removed and defrosted by the ap-  
pliance.  
^ Switch on the super freeze function at  
least 4 hours before defrosting to en-  
sure frozen food retains its cold re-  
serve for longer when taken out of the  
freezer.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an evapora-  
tion system at the back of the appli-  
ance.  
^ Remove the frozen food from the  
freezer and place it in another freezer  
or cool box or wrap it in several lay-  
ers of newspaper or cloths and store  
in a cool place until the freezer is  
ready for use again.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that conden-  
sate can flow away without hin-  
drance.  
^ Take all freezer drawers out of the  
freezer section.  
To defrost  
Freezer section  
Carry out the defrosting procedure  
as quickly as possible if food has  
not been placed in another freezer.  
The longer the food is left out at  
room temperature, the faster it de-  
frosts.  
The freezer section does not defrost au-  
tomatically because frozen food must  
not be allowed to defrost.  
In normal use ice and frost will form on  
the evaporator plates. If allowed to ac-  
cumulate, this will impair the efficiency  
of the freezer and increase the con-  
sumption of electricity.  
^ Switch the appliance on with the On /  
Off button.  
The temperature display goes out. If  
it does not go out then the safety lock  
is probably engaged.  
Do not scrape ice and frost off the  
evaporator plates as this can dam-  
age the evaporator plates and make  
the freezer unusable.  
^ Open the freezer section door.  
The freezer section should be defrosted  
from time to time. It must be defrosted if  
a layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has  
accumulated. It is best to defrost when  
only very little food or no food at all is  
left in the freezer.  
27  
 
 
Defrosting  
We do not recommend the use of  
hot air blowers such as hairdryers  
for defrosting your appliance.  
Never place electric heaters or can-  
dles in the appliance to defrost it.  
These can damage the plastic parts.  
^ Open out the outlet guide for de-  
frosted water.  
Do not use defrosting sprays, or  
de-icers as they could contain sub-  
stances which could damage the  
plastic parts and which may cause a  
build up of gases and pose a dan-  
ger to health.  
After defrosting  
^ Empty the container.  
^ Use a sponge or a towel to mop up  
any water from defrosting still in the  
appliance.  
^ Clean the freezer section and then  
dry it thoroughly.  
^ Fold the outlet guide back into posi-  
tion.  
^ Close the door and then switch the  
freezer section on.  
^ Place a container in front of the appli-  
ance to collect the defrosted water.  
Make sure that the container does  
not overflow.  
The temperature display for the  
freezer section lights up.  
^ Switch on the super freeze function  
so that the freezer can cool down  
quickly. The super freeze indicator  
light will come on.  
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot  
water (not boiling) can be placed in the  
appliance.  
^ Once the temperature in the freezer  
has reached the required tempera-  
ture place the food back in the  
freezer drawers and place them back  
in the freezer.  
^ Switch off super freeze by pressing  
the super freeze button. The indicator  
light will go out.  
28  
 
Cleaning and care  
^ Take out any removable parts e.g.  
shelves for cleaning.  
Never use cleaning agents contain-  
ing abrasive substances such as  
sand, soda, acids or chemical sol-  
vents.  
Cleaning the outer casing, the  
interior and accessories  
Use lukewarm water with a little wash-  
ing up liquid. Accessories and shelves  
should be hand washed only. The but-  
ter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.  
"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.  
^ Clean the refrigerator section at least  
once a month and the freezer section  
each time it is defrosted.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that conden-  
sate can drain away unhindered. Use  
a straw or similar to clear the drain if  
necessary.  
Make sure that no water can pene-  
trate into the electronic unit, into the  
light or into the ventilation gaps.  
Do not let water get into the drain-  
age channel and drain hole when  
cleaning.  
^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a  
suitable cleaning agent.  
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,  
the interior and accessories with a  
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.  
Leave the doors open to air the appli-  
ance for a short while.  
Never use steam cleaning appara-  
tus to defrost or clean the appliance.  
The steam could attack the electrical  
components and cause a short cir-  
cuit.  
E-Cloth  
The data plate located inside the ap-  
pliance must not be removed. It con-  
tains information which is required in  
the event of a service call.  
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts De-  
partment, Part Number 980 13530,  
which is suitable for cleaning sur-  
faces such as stainless steel, glass,  
plastic and chrome without the use of  
chemicals.  
Before cleaning  
^ Switch the appliance off by pressing  
both On-Off switches.  
^ Take any food out of the appliance  
and store it in a cool place.  
^ Defrost the freezer section.

Cleaning and care  
After cleaning  
If you are unsure about a particular  
product or need further advice  
please contact your nearest Miele  
Sales office. See back page for ad-  
dress.  
^ Replace all shelves and accessories  
in the refrigerator section.  
^ Place food back in the refrigerator  
section, close the appliance doors,  
and switch the appliance on.  
Ventilation gaps  
^ Switch on the super freeze function  
so that the freezer section can cool  
down quickly. The super freeze indi-  
cator light will come on.  
^ The ventilation gaps should be  
cleaned on a regular basis with a  
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up  
of dust will increase the appliance’s  
energy consumption.  
^ Once the temperature in the freezer  
has reached the required tempera-  
ture place the food back in the  
freezer drawers and place them back  
in the freezer section.  
Door seals  
Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seals as these will cause the  
seals to deteriorate and become po-  
rous with time.  
^ Switch off the super freeze function  
with the super freeze button.  
The indicator light will go out.  
The door seals should be cleaned reg-  
ularly 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 appli-  
ance (heat exchanger) should be  
dusted at least once a year. A build up  
of dust will increase the energy con-  
sumption of the appliance.  
When cleaning the grille, make sure  
that the pipework and other compo-  
nents do not get broken or damaged  
in any way.

If this machine is fitted with a  
non-rewireable plug, the following  
information applies:  
If the socket outlets are not suitable for  
the plug supplied with this product, it  
must be cut off and an appropriate plug  
fitted.  
The fuse carrier and the fuse should be  
removed from the old plug and dis-  
posed of. The old plug should then be  
disposed of and on no account be in-  
serted into any socket elsewhere in the  
house (electric shock hazard).

Building in the appliance  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen furni-  
ture housing unit. The appliance door  
b will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by 51  
mm in the middle of the door. This en-  
ables the doors to be opened and shut  
without being obstructed.  
When installed next to a wall c a dis-  
tance of approx. 36 mm is needed on  
the hinge side between the wall and the  
appliance, so that the doors and the  
handles have sufficient space for open-  
ing.  
The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
When securing to adjoining furniture  
d or if a spacer is fitted between the  
appliance and the wall, please note the  
following:  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance for air to circulate.  
^ Ensure that the doors have sufficient  
space for opening fully after the ap-  
pliance has been secured.  
The cross section of the air outlet under  
the room ceiling must be at least 300  
cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the appli-  
ance has to work too hard resulting in  
an increase in electricity consumption.  
The larger the cross section, the more  
efficient the appliance.  
^ Do not drill within the area marked  
with criss cross pattern as this  
would damage insulated parts of the  
appliance.  
^ To secure the appliance to adjoining  
kitchen furniture use self-tapping  
screws. The depth of the screw must  
not exceed 10 mm. See small illustra-  
tion.
