Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
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!  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of your  
old appliance with your household  
waste.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure that they  
are recycled.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre and ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or  
disconnected from the mains electricity  
supply by a competent person.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

ensure that the temperature is  
sufficiently low.  
^ Carefully remove the protective foil  
from the stainless steel trim.  
Cool pack  
Important:  
Place the cool pack in the top drawer of  
the freezer section. The cool pack will  
be at its most effective after it has been  
in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.  
To ensure the correct functioning of  
the appliance, let it stand for  
between 1½ and 2 hours after  
transporting it to its final location  
before connecting it to the mains.  
Switching off  
^ Using a coin, turn the temperature  
selector in an anti-clockwise direction

Switching on  
The cooling system and the interior  
lighting are now switched off.  
^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a  
clockwise direction away from the "0"  
position.  
Forcing it beyond its range will  
damage it. Turn it only as far as it will  
go, then turn it back again.  
The temperature display for the  
refrigerator section will light up and the  
interior lighting will come on when door  
is opened.

Switching on and off  
Switching off for longer  
periods of time  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday:  
^ switch the appliance off,  
^ switch off at the wall socket and  
withdraw the plug,  
^ clean the appliance out and  
^ leave the doors ajar to air the  
appliance.  
If, during a long absence, the  
appliance is switched off but not  
cleaned out and the doors are left  
shut, there is a danger of mould and  
odours building up inside the  
appliance.

The correct temperature  
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.  
. . . in the freezer section  
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen  
food for a long time, a temperature of  
-18 °C is required. At this temperature  
the growth of micro-organisms is  
generally halted. As soon as the  
temperature rises 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,  
– 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.  
. . . in the refrigerator section  
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C  
in the middle of the refrigerator.  
Dynamic cooling  
The dynamic cooling fan automatically  
switches on when the cooling system  
for the refrigerator switches on. It  
distributes the temperature in the  
appliance to all areas more evenly so  
that all the food will be chilled to about  
the same degree.  
16  
 
The correct temperature  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature can be set slightly  
colder than the displayed temperature  
(e.g. between 5°C and 3 °C).  
The temperature for the refrigerator  
section is set using the temperature  
dial.  
^ To do so, turn the temperature dial  
slowly in a clockwise direction from  
e.g. 5, until the 5 flashes briefly in the  
temperature display.  
The higher or lower the temperature in  
the refrigerator section, the higher or  
lower it is in the freezer section.  
The colder temperature is now set.  
If frozen food is to be stored in the  
freezer section then a setting of  
between 3 °C to 5 ° is recommended to  
ensure that the required temperature in  
the freezer section is maintained.  
^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a  
clockwise direction away from the "0"  
position.  
It is also advisable to set the  
temperature within this range if the  
doors are opened frequently, large  
quantities of food are being stored in  
the appliance or there is a high ambient  
temperature.  
The higher the setting, the lower the  
temperature in the appliance.  
The temperature being set will flash in  
the display.  
Freezer section temperature

go, then turn it back again.  
The indicator light shows that the  
freezer section is on.  
Temperature display  
The temperature display on the  
control panel always shows the  
required temperature.  
For example, if you want to set the  
temperature for the refrigerator section  
at 5 °C,  
^ turn the temperature selector  
clockwise from 0 until 5°C lights up  
on the control panel.

Alarm  
Your appliance has been fitted with a  
warning system which ensures that the  
temperature in the freezer 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.  
Switching the alarm off early  
Temperature alarm  
The alarm will stop and the indicator  
light will go out when the temperature  
reaches the correct level again.  
However, if the noise disturbs you, you  
can switch the alarm off before this if  
you wish.  
An alarm will sound and the alarm  
indicator light will flash if the  
temperature in the freezer section  
becomes too warm.  
The temperature the appliance is set at  
determines the temperature the  
appliance recognises as being too  
warm.  
The alarm will sound and the alarm  
indicator light will flash,  
^ Press the alarm off button.  
– if the freezer door has been left open  
for a while, e.g. in order to load,  
re-arrange or take food out.  
The alarm will stop. The indicator  
light will stay on until the correct  
temperature has been reached. The  
alarm system is then ready should it  
be needed again.  
– when freezing large amounts of food  
at once.  
– if there has been a lengthy  
interruption to the power supply.  
Depending on the temperature in the  
freezer, you should check the condition  
of the food. If food has defrosted or  
started to defrost, check that it is still

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Different storage zones  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4 °C.  
Due to the natural circulation of the air  
in the appliance, there are different  
temperature zones in the refrigerator.  
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest  
section of the appliance. Make use of  
the different zones when placing food  
in the appliance.  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
This appliance has dynamic cooling,  
which helps to keep an even  
temperature when the fan is running.  
When Dynamic cooling is switched  
on, the difference between the  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Do not store cooking oil in the

various zones is less pronounced.  
Warmest area  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the refrigerator, as it may freeze to  
the back wall.  
Coldest area  
The coldest area in a refrigerator is  
directly above the vegetable  
containers.  
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.  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
20  
 
Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
Storing food correctly  
Food should generally be stored  
covered or packaged. This will prevent  
food smells from affecting other foods,  
food from drying out, and also any  
cross-contamination of bacteria. The  
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,  
can be avoided by setting the correct  
temperature and maintaining good  
standards of hygiene.  
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.  
This includes:  
– Fruit and vegetables which are  
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,  
avocado pears, papaya, passion  
fruit, aubergines/eggplant,  
peppers/capiscum, tomatoes and  
cucumbers  
Fruit and vegetables  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
Fruit and vegetables may be stored  
loose in the vegetable containers.  
Please be aware that not all types of  
fruit and vegetables are suitable for  
storing in the same container. Aromas  
and flavours can transfer from one type  
of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb  
the smell and flavour of onions very  
easily). Some food also gives off a  
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up  
the rate at which other food perishes.  
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan  
When shopping for food  
The freshness of food when first placed  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh,  
and how long it can be kept in the  
refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,  
e.g. during transportation, should be  
kept to a minimum. For example, do not  
allow food to stay in a hot car for too  
long. 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.  
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,  
peaches, plums, avocado pears,  
figs, blueberries, melons and beans.  
21  
 
Using the refrigerator efficiently  
– Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which react strongly to the natural  
gases given off by other types of  
fruit and vegetables are:  
Meat  
Meat should be stored unwrapped.  
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat  
loosely covered, and leave containers  
open). This permits air to circulate  
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, around the meat, allowing the surface  
apples, apricots, cucumbers,  
tomatoes, pears, nectarines and  
peaches.  
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the  
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk  
of bacterial cross-contamination and  
meat deteriorating, do not let one type  
of meat come into direct contact with  
another type.  
Example: Broccoli should not be  
stored with apples, as apples  
produce a large amount of natural  
gas to which broccoli is very  
sensitive. The result is a shorter than  
expected storage time for the  
broccoli.  
Unpacked meat and vegetables  
Unpackaged meat and vegetables  
should be stored separately. To avoid  
any microbiological cross-  
contamination, these foods may only be  
stored together if they are wrapped.  
Protein rich foods  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.  
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.  
22  
 
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.  
^ fit the two brackets onto the supports  
on either side at the required height,  
The raised edge at the back must face  
upwards to prevent food from touching  
the back of the appliance and freezing  
to it.  
^ and push the glass shelves in one  
after the other.  
The shelf with the raised edge must  
be at the back.  
Stoppers prevent the shelves from  
being dislodged by mistake.  
Adjusting the door shelf/bottle  
shelf  
Split shelf  
In order to accommodate tall items in  
the appliance, one of the shelves is  
divided. The front section can be  
pushed under the rear section.  
^ Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,  
then remove it by pulling it forwards.  
^ Replace the door/bottle shelf at the  
required position. Ensure that it is  
securely pushed back into position.  
^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf  
forwards slightly and then push it  
carefully under the rear half.  
Moving the bottle divider  
To move the split shelf:

The bottle divider can be removed  
completely (e.g. for cleaning).  
^ To do this, push up the front edge of  
the bottle divider, and disengage it.

Freezing and storing food  
Maximum freezing capacity  
Storing frozen food  
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".  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer, check  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop. The  
length of time it can be kept is  
reduced if it has been stored at a  
temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
Freezing fresh food  
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly  
as possible. This way the nutritional  
value of the food, its vitamin content,  
appearance and taste are not impaired.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have  
finished the rest of your shopping,  
and wrap it in newspaper or use a  
cool bag or cool box to transport it.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as  
possible.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
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.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink less. As there is not so much  
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to  
reabsorb it during the defrosting  
process, and very little water collects  
around the defrosted food.

freezing. Only season cooked food  
lightly before freezing, but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Hints on home freezing  
– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in  
the freezer. This causes already  
frozen food to thaw, and increases  
the energy consumption  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
considerably. Allow hot foods and  
drinks to cool down before placing  
them in the freezer.  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
Packing  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
- bin bags  
- plastic carrier bags  
To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of  
water to the boil, immerse the  
vegetables in the fast boiling water  
for 2-3 minutes, depending on  
variety. Remove, and plunge into  
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain  
and pack ready for freezing.  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
- aluminium foil  
- freezer containers  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat sealing kits.  
25  
 
Freezing and storing food  
^ Make a note of the contents and the  
date of freezing on the packaging.  
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.  
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.  
Freezing large items  
If you wish to freeze large items such  
as a turkey or game, the glass cold  
plates between the drawers can also  
be removed. To do this:  
^ Remove the top two freezer drawers,  
and carefully lift and slide out the  
glass cold plates.  
Placing food in the freezer  
Food to be frozen can be placed  
anywhere in the freezer.  
Defrosting  
Large quantities should be placed  
directly on the glass cold plates to  
freeze the food quickly. To do this first  
take out the top two freezer drawers.  
When removing the top drawer, make  
sure that you do not block the  
ventilation slits in the back wall of the  
appliance. They are important for  
trouble-free operation of the appliance.  
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  
food cold),  
The lowest freezer drawer must always  
remain in the appliance.  
– in a steam oven.  
Each drawer and glass cold plate  
can take a maximum of 25 kg.  
Poultry It 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.  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the freezer drawers or on the glass  
cold plates so that it freezes through  
to the core as quickly as possible.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
26  
 
Freezing and storing 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  
vegetables due to changes in the cell  
structure.  
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.  
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.  
^ Space the food out loosely on the  
tray.  
Ice cubes  
^ Hang the tray in the top or middle  
freezer drawer.  
Leave the 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.  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water, and place it in the bottom of  
one of the drawers.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
remove the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by twisting the tray  
gently or by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
Cooling drinks  
When placing bottles in the freezer  
section for rapid cooling, make sure  
they are not left in for more than one  
hour as they could burst.  
27  
 
Freezing and storing food  
Cool pack  
The cool pack prevents the  
temperature in the freezer rising too  
quickly in the event of a power cut.  
Place the cool pack in the top drawer of  
the freezer section, directly on top of  
the food. 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 top 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.

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.  
This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer section to remain  
permanently ice-free, however, the food  
stored in the freezer section will not  
defrost.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.  
29  
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the interior and  
accessories  
Never use cleaning agents  
containing abrasive substances  
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides  
or chemical solvents.  
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are  
also unsuitable as they can cause  
matt areas to appear.  
Use warm water with a little washing-up  
liquid. Wash all accessories and  
drawers by hand only. Do not wash in a  
dishwasher.  
^ Clean the appliance at least once a  
month.  
Make sure that water cannot get into  
the temperature selector or into the  
light.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that  
condensate can drain away  
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to  
clear the drain if necessary.  
Do not let water get into the  
drainage channel and drain hole  
when cleaning.  
^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and  
accessories with a damp cloth and  
dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors  
open to air the appliance for a short  
while.  
Do not use steam cleaning  
apparatus to clean the appliance.  
Steam could reach the electrical  
components and cause a short  
circuit.  
E-Cloth  
^ A microfibre “E-Cloth” is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts  
Department, which is suitable for  
cleaning surfaces such as stainless  
steel, glass, plastic and chrome  
without the use of chemicals. It can  
be washed 300 times.  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is  
required in the event of a service  
call.  
Before cleaning  
^ Switch the appliance off by turning  
the temperature selector to "0" and  
then switching off at the socket and  
removing the plug.  
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.  
^ Take any food out of the appliance  
and store it in a cool place.  
^ Take out any removable parts, e.g.  
shelves, for cleaning.  
30  
 
Cleaning and care  
Door seals  
Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seals as these will cause the  
seals to deteriorate and become  
porous over time.  
The door seals 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.  
^ Place food back in the refrigerator  
section, close the appliance doors,  
insert the plug in the socket and  
switch the appliance on.  
^ Switch on the Super freeze function  
so that the freezer section can cool  
down quickly. The indicator light will  
come on.

replace it on the opposite side using  
the same screws.  
To change the door hinging, you will  
need various sizes of Torx  
screwdrivers and a slotted  
screwdriver.  
^ Unscrew the middle hinge plate h,  
and replace it turned through 180° on  
the opposite side using the same  
screws.  
^ Open both appliance doors.  
^ Remove lower hinge pin i together  
with washer j, and replace these on  
the opposite side.  
^ Replace the bottom door on lower  
hinge pin i. Remember to use  
washer j.  
^ Refit middle hinge pin f in hinge  
plate h, and then tighten the screws.  
^ Refit the top door on middle hinge  
pin f.  
^ Insert upper hinge pin e into the  
outer hole in hinge plate g, and  
tighten the screws.  
^ Replace covers a, b and c on the  
opposite side, turning them by 180 °.  
^ Refit cover caps d on the opposite  
side.  
^ Pull off covers a, b and c and caps  
d.  
^ Unscrew hinge pin e from the top  
appliance door.

Building in the appliance  
Preparing the appliance  
All building-in instructions given are  
for a right hand hinged appliance.  
If you have converted the appliance  
to left hand hinging you will need to  
adapt these instructions accordingly.  
Building into a peninsular run  
When built into a peninsular run, the  
rear of the building in niche must be  
fitted with a kitchen furniture panel.  
^ Slide cover strip a into the holder as  
shown, with the bumps facing  
downwards. The bumps will fit into  
keyhole slots b. The cover strip is  
then flush with the side of the  
appliance on which the door is  
opened c.  
Aligning the housing unit  
Before installing the appliance, the  
housing unit must be carefully aligned  
using a spirit level. The housing unit  
corners must be at right angles, as  
otherwise the appliance furniture door  
will not align correctly with the 4  
corners of the unit. Align the furniture  
door with the hinges.

distance d (= the thickness of the  
housing unit walls) between the edge  
of the appliance door and outer edge  
of the furniture door.  
^ Push the appliance against the  
housing wall on the side on which the  
door opens so that the sealing strip is  
pressed into the housing wall k.  
^ Align the door fixing so that the  
furniture door on the side with the
