Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap-
propriate EU directives.
This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does
not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
The use of this refrigerant has, however, led to a slight increase in
the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the com-
pressor, you might be able to hear the refrigerant flowing around the
cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not
affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refri-
gerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the ap-
pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of a combustible gas/
air mixture building up. For every 11g of coolant at least 1m3 of
room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data
plate corresponds to the household supply.
Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The socket must not be concealed behind the refrigeration appli-
ance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emer-
gency.
If the electrical connection cable supplied is damaged, it must
only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the
user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when ori-
ginal Miele spare parts are used.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains con-
nection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not oper-
ate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to mois-
ture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply dur-
ing installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation
work on the mains water connection. It is only completely isolated
from the power supply when:
- the mains fuses are switched off, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or
- the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the
cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty
mains water connection can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains
water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only
ever be carried out by a Miele-authorised technician.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.

The ice-cube maker must only be connected to a cold water sup-
ply.
Risk of injury. Ensure that you do not come into contact with mov-
ing parts on dispensing mechanism of the ice cube maker or the
heating element on the ice cube maker.
Correct use
This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperat-
ures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the
data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A
lower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch off
for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable
to maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance.
Danger of sparking and explosion.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans
or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze
in the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling
drinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of
the appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen
food or to the metal.
Danger of injury. 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 zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can
cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-
ted 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.
Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-
tions 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and care
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 use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this ap-
pliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- separate frozen food or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Transport
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration
appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking them-
selves in and endangering their lives.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
- puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.
Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele. By law, you are solely re-
sponsible for deleting any personal data
from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion appliance’s pipework before or dur-
ing transportation to an authorised col-
lection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
poses no risk to children while being
stored prior to disposal. For further in-
formation, see “Warning and Safety in-
structions” in these operating and in-
stallation instructions.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
16
Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your re-
frigeration appliance, please bear in
mind that it will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a cooker or
other appliance that gives off heat. Dir-
ect sunlight should also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption of the
refrigeration appliance is.
When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, please note the following:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The plug and power cable must not
touch the rear of the refrigeration ap-
pliance as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind the refrigeration appliance.
If installation near a heat source is un-
avoidable, observe the following min-
imum distances between the appliance
and the heat source:
- At least 3cm
to electric or gas stoves
- At least 30cm
to oil or coal-based stoves
If it is not possible to observe these
minimum distances, an isolation plate
must be installed between the refrigera-
tion appliance and the heat source.
Climate range
This refrigeration appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient temper-
atures (climate range). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is not
designed. The climate range is stated
on the data plate in the interior cabinet
of the refrigeration appliance.
Climate range Ambient temper-
ature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
A lower ambient temperature leads to
the compressor switching off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the refrigeration appli-
ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-
orating and going off.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
17
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex-
ternal refrigeration appliance panels,
which can cause corrosion.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a
dry and/or air-conditioned room with
sufficient ventilation.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance door closes properly, the
ventilation gaps are not covered and
that the refrigeration appliance has
been installed in accordance with the
operating and installation instruc-
tions.
Installation notes
Risk of damage and injury due to
the refrigeration appliance tipping
over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance door(s) is (are) open.
Keep the appliance door(s) shut until
the refrigeration appliance has been
built in and secured in its housing in
accordance with these operating and
installation instructions.
Due to its weight and size, the refri-
geration appliance must be installed
by two people.
Adjoining cabinets/units
The appliance is screwed to the adjoin-
ing cabinets/units to the side and
above. For this reason, it is essential

Load-bearing capacity of the niche
floor
To ensure the safe installation of the re-
frigeration appliance and to guarantee
its correct functioning, the floor of the
niche where the appliance is to be in-
stalled must be smooth and even.
It must be made from strong, rigid ma-
terial.
Because the refrigeration appliance is
extremely heavy when fully loaded, it is
essential that the floor it stands on is
able to bear its weight. If necessary,
seek the advice of an architect or con-
struction expert.
When fully loaded, the weight of the re-
frigeration appliance is approx.:
F 2412 Vi, F 2413 Vi 261 kg
F 2802 Vi, F 2812 Vi 368 kg
F 2902 Vi, F 2912 Vi 426 kg
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the com-
pressor will run more frequently and
for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature for the compressor. This
may, in turn, cause damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in
any way.
Door hinging
Risk of damage and injury when
changing the door hinges.
Changing the door hinges single-
handedly can cause damage to the
appliance and injury.
The refrigeration appliance is sup-
plied with fixed hinges. Under no cir-
cumstances should you attempt to

tions you have with your refrigeration
appliance.
Depending on the installation situ-
ation, you will need the side-by-side
installation kit for side-by-side installa-
tion (see “Accessories – Optional ac-
cessories”).
Instructions for installing refrigeration
appliances side-by-side can be found
in the side-by-side installation kit in-
stallation instructions.
. . .with partition wall
The wall a between the side-by-side
refrigeration appliances must be at
least 16mm thick.
If the door hinges of the refrigeration
appliances are next to each other,
you must take into account the thick-
ness of the furniture fronts and door
handles so that the appliance doors
do not collide and become damaged
if they are opened at the same time.
The refrigeration appliances are secured
individually in their installation niche us-
ing the supplied installation material.
If the partition wall a is narrower than
160mm, you will need the side panel
heater from the side-by-side installation
kit to prevent condensation from form-
ing and any resulting damage.
When planning installation niches,
please note that the niche into which
the refrigeration appliance with the
side panel heater is installed must be
4mm wider (see “Installation –
Building-in dimensions”).
If the partition wall a is thicker than
160mm, you do not need the side-by-
side installation kit, nor the side panel
heater.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*

sufficiently ventilated, this may cause
mould to form and, in the long term,
lead to damage to the outside of the
refrigeration appliance and in the in-
stallation niche.
Do not remove the spacers from the
outside of the appliance under any
circumstances.
Do not compress the spacers under
any circumstances.
The spacers guarantee the neces-
sary distance between the refrigera-
tion appliance and the installation
niche.
Check the refrigeration appliance for
transport damage.
Do not install a damaged refrigera-
tion appliance.
Check that all parts at the back of the
appliance are unhindered.
To protect the floor during installation,
secure an off-cut of flooring or similar
material to the floor in front of the in-
stallation area.
Do not remove the installation aids
from the appliance door. These will
be required later for aligning the ap-
pliance in the building-in niche.
Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the refrigeration appli-
ance tipping over.
As soon as you unscrew the brack-
ets that fix the refrigeration appliance
to the pallet, the appliance is no
longer secured.

can cause damage to the floor.
Move the refrigeration appliance
carefully on floors that are sensitive
to scratching.
As soon as you have set the appliance
upright, you can move it using the
rollers on the bottom.
Preparing the building-in niche
Risk of damage and injury due to
the refrigeration appliance tipping
over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance doors are open.
The building-in niche must be se-
cured to the wall behind it and/or
above it with several screws. Only
this will prevent the refrigeration ap-
pliance from tipping over after being
installed.
In addition, use the provided anti-tip
brackets to secure the building-in
niche.
The parts required for installation are
supplied with the refrigeration appli-
ance. The plastic bags supplied are
marked with letters for easy identifica-
tion.
When performing the individual as-
sembly steps, observe the letters
specified and use the matching
plastic bag with the required installa-
tion equipment.
The anti-tip brackets prevent the refri-
geration appliance from tipping.
The anti-tip brackets are also used to fix
the building-in niche securely to the
surrounding walls.

If you wish to install two furniture fronts
next to each other instead of one fur-
niture front, they will have to be con-
nected with a metal filler panel.
Side-by-side installation kit
To install two or more refrigeration ap-
pliances next to one another, you will
need the side-by-side installation kit
(see “Installation – Side-by-side”).
Hinge pocket
If the door hinging needs to be changed
on your refrigeration appliance, the up-
per plinth ventilation grille must be con-
verted. A new hinge pocket is required
in order to do this.

Miele@home
Your refrigeration appliance is
equipped with an integrated WiFi
module.
Networking is deactivated at the fact-
ory.
To use this feature, you will need:
- A WiFi network
- The Miele app
- A Miele user account You can create
a user account via the Miele app.
The Miele app will guide you as you
connect your refrigeration appliance to
your home WiFi network.
Once the refrigeration appliance is con-
nected to your WiFi network, you can
use the app to carry out the following
activities, for example:
- Call up information on the operating
status of your refrigeration appliance
- Change the settings on your refriger-
ation appliance
Connecting your refrigeration appliance
to your WiFi network will increase en-
ergy consumption, even when the ap-
pliance is switched off.
Make sure that the signal of your
WiFi network is sufficiently strong in
the place where you want to set up
your refrigeration appliance.
Availability of the WiFi connection
The WiFi connection shares a frequency
range with other appliances (including
microwave ovens and remote control
toys). This can give rise to sporadic or
even complete connection failures.
Therefore, the availability of featured
functions cannot be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele app de-
pends on the availability of the
Miele@home service in your country.
The Miele@home service is not avail-
able in every country.

The correct temperature
80
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for long periods, a temperature of
-18°C is required. At this temperature
the growth of bacteria is generally hal-
ted. As soon as the temperature rises
above -10°C, the bacteria become act-
ive in the food again so 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 temperat-
ures achieved when cooking destroy
most bacteria.
The temperature in the refrigeration ap-
pliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept
open.
- The more food is stored in it.
- The warmer the food is which is be-
ing put into it.
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance. This refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
Setting the temperature
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
The previously set temperature will ap-
pear.
Use the and sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your fin-
gers on the sensor controls changes
the temperature continuously.
Confirm the temperature setting
withOK or wait approx. 8seconds
after the last touch of the sensor con-
trol. The temperature will then be
automatically adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6hours if the refri-
geration appliance is not very full and
for approx. 24hours if the refrigera-
tion appliance is full before checking
the temperature display. It will take this
long for the appliance to give an accur-
ate reading.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to adjust it again.
The correct temperature
81
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
-14°C to -24°C.
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can af-
fect the time it takes for the appli-
ance to reach the lowest temperat-
ure.
If the ambient temperature is too
high, the appliance may not reach
the lowest temperature.
Using Super freeze
82
SuperFreeze function
For best results, switch the SuperFreeze
function on before putting fresh food
into the freezer.
This helps food to freeze quickly and re-
tain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and
appearance.
Exceptions:
- When you place food that is already
frozen in the freezer
- When you only freeze up to 2kg of
fresh food daily
Switching on SuperFreeze
SuperFreeze should be turned on 4–
6hours before you place food in the
freezer. When you freeze the maximum
amount of food the SuperFreeze func-
tion should be switched on 24hours
beforehand.
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
Touch the sensor control to switch
the SuperFreeze function on.
The symbol will be highlighted in col-
our and the newly set temperature value
of -30°C will appear on the display.
Confirm the setting with OK or wait
approx. 8seconds after the last press
of the button. The setting will be
automatically adopted.
The symbol will light up on the tem-
perature display.

the temperature in the freezer zone.
Temperature and door alarm
83
The 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 the door is left open.
Temperature alarm
The Freezer temperature too high. Max.
temperature °C message will appear on
the display if the temperature in the
freezer zone becomes too warm.
An alarm will also sound.

highest temperature that was reached
during the time in which the temperat-
ure rose.
Audible and visual signals will be activ-
ated, for example:
- When the refrigeration appliance is
switched on and the temperature in
the appliance differs greatly from the
set temperature
- If a lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when frozen food is being
loaded, rearranged or taken out
- When large amounts of food are
frozen at once
- When fresh food which is still warm is
frozen
- After an extended mains outage
The alarm will be silenced and the mes-
sage on the display will go out as soon
as the reason for the alarm has been re-
solved.
Health risk caused by decom-
posing food.
If the temperature in the freezer re-
mains above -18°C for a long time,
the frozen food can start to defrost.
This will reduce the storage life of the
food.

Freezing and storing food
89
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 ex-
ceeded. The maximum freezing capa-
city for freezing within a 24-hour period
is given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-
pacity...kg/24hrs”.
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.
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 re-
absorbed by the cells. What this means
in practice is that the food loses more
moisture. You can see this in the large
amount of water that collects around
the food when it defrosts.
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 pro-
cess, and very little water collects
around the defrosted food.
Storing frozen food
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
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 food can be kept
is reduced if it has been stored at a
temperature warmer than -18°C.
Buy frozen food once you have fin-
ished the rest of your shopping and
wrap it in newspaper or use a cool
bag or cool box to transport it.
Put it into the freezer as soon as pos-
sible.
Freezing and storing food
90
Home freezing
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, ve-
getables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy
products, cakes, leftovers, egg yolks,
egg whites and a range of pre-
cooked meals.
- The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing:
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, soured
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their
shells, onions, whole raw apples and
pears.
- To retain colour, taste, aroma and vit-
amin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To
do so place them portion by portion
into boiling water for 2–3minutes.
Remove, and plunge into ice-cold
water to cool quickly. Drain and pack
ready for freezing.
- Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat, and can be stored for consid-
erably longer.
- Separate chops, steaks, cutlets etc.
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.
This prevents them from freezing to-
gether in a block.
- Do not salt or season raw food or
blanched vegetables before freezing.
Cooked food should only be lightly
salted and seasoned. Some herbs in-
tensify the taste of food when frozen.
- Placing hot foods or drinks in the
freezer causes food that is already
frozen to partially thaw and increases
energy consumption. Allow hot foods
and drinks to cool down before pla-
cing them in the freezer.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
–Suitable packing material
- Plastic freezer bags
- Tubular polythene freezer bags
- Aluminum foil
- Freezer containers
–Unsuitable packing material
- Wrapping paper
- Greaseproof paper
- Cellophane
- Bin bags
- Plastic carrier bags
Expel as much air as possible from
the packaging.
Close the packaging tightly with
- Rubber bands
- Plastic clips
- String
- Freezer tape
Tip: Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
Freezing and storing food
91
Before placing food in the ap-
pliance
When freezing more than 2kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function some time before placing the
food in the freezer (see “Super-
Freeze”).
This helps create a cold reserve in food
which is already stored in the freezer.
Placing frozen food in the
freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed any-
where in the freezer zone. Preferably
freeze food in the upper freezer basket,
as this is the best location for quick and
gentle freezing.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the basket 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.
Slide the freezer baskets in as far as
they will go.
Please follow the guidelines in the ta-
ble below regarding recommended
weights for the baskets:
Upper

Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of
-18°C. Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. For example, fat
can become rancid from contact with
oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide val-
ues for the storage life of different food
groups in the freezer zone.

For standard freezing results, follow the
advice on packaging.
Freezing and storing food
92
By keeping the freezer zone at a con-
stant temperature of -18°C and taking
appropriate hygiene measures you can
maximise the storage life of your food
and avoid food waste.
Defrosting frozen goods
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Frozen goods can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
- In a microwave oven
- In an oven using “Fan heat” or the
“Defrost” setting
- At room temperature
- In the refrigerator zone (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to
keep the other food cold)
- In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat
or fish can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken,
fish fillets) should not come into contact
with other foods while defrosting. Catch
the liquid from defrosting and dispose
of it carefully.
Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-
perature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
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 veget-
ables due to changes in the cell struc-
ture.
Cooling drinks quickly
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 and
damage.
Making ice cubes
93
For the automatic ice cube maker to
operate, it must be connected to a
mains water supply (see “Mains water
connection”).
Risk to health due to contamin-
ated water.
Consuming polluted water can lead
to illnesses.
The first 3batches of ice cubes
made after the ice cube maker is
started up must not be consumed,
as the water will have been used for
the initial rinsing of the water supply
line.
This applies to the initial commis-
sioning as well as when using the re-
frigeration appliance again after it
has been turned off for a long time.
Switching on the ice maker
Make sure that the ice cube container
is correctly located underneath the
ice maker.
In Settings mode, use the
andsensor controls to select
Dispenser unit and select OK to con-
firm your selection.
Use the andsensor controls to
select On and select OK to confirm
your selection.
Once the freezer zone has cooled down
to its set temperature, the ice maker will
fill with water.
As soon as the water is frozen, the ice
cubes drop out of the ice maker into the
ice cube container.
Ice cube production is halted automat-
ically when the ice cube container is
full.
The ice maker can make up to approx.
1.3kg of ice cubes in 24hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
appliance depends on the temperature
in the freezer zone. The lower the
temperature, the more ice cubes
are produced.
After you have set up the appliance for
the first time, it can take up to
10hours for the first ice cubes to drop
out of the ice maker and collect in the
ice cube container.
Risk of damage due to blocking
of the ice maker.
The ice maker could become
blocked and, as a result, be dam-
aged.
Do not place any bottles or food into
the ice cube container to chill them
quickly.
Empty the ice cube container at reg-
ular intervals, or if you have not pro-
duced any ice for more than a week.
This will ensure that you always have
fresh ice and the ice cubes will not
form a clump.
Ice cube production does not stop
when the ice cube container has
been removed. Ice cubes can fall
into the freezer basket underneath.
Only remove the ice cube container
for the shortest possible time or
switch off the ice maker before re-
moving it.
Making ice cubes
94
Switching the ice maker off
The ice maker can be turned off inde-
pendently of the freezer zone if you do
not want to make any ice cubes.
Close the stopcock in the water sup-
ply line approx. 3hours before
switching off the refrigeration appli-
ance to avoid the build-up of mould
caused by stagnant water.
In Settings mode, use the
andsensor controls to select
Dispenser unit and select OK to con-
firm your selection.
Use the andsensor controls to
select Off and select OK to confirm
your selection.
Automatic defrosting
95
The appliance is equipped with a
“NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts
automatically.
The moisture generated in the appli-
ance collects on the condenser and is
automatically defrosted and dissipated
from time to time.
This automatic defrosting system en-
ables the freezer to remain permanently
ice-free. Food stored in the freezer will
not defrost with this system.
Cleaning and care
96
Do not let water get into the elec-
tronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and and electrical
components.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
The data plate located inside the in-
terior cabinet of the refrigeration appli-
ance must not be removed. It contains
information which is required in the
event of a service call.
Cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. scour-
ing powder, scouring liquid or pumice
stones)
- Cleaning agents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaning agents
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Oven sprays
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes
(e.g. pot scourers)
- Eraser stain remover blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used in the interior cabinet of the re-
frigeration appliance must be food
safe.
We recommend using lukewarm water
with a little washing-up liquid for clean-
ing.
Cleaning and care
97
Before cleaning the refrigera-
tion appliance
Switch the refrigeration appliance off
by pressing the On/Off switch.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning (see “Adjusting the interior
fittings”).
Interior cabinet and accessor-
ies
Clean the refrigeration appliance reg-
ularly, or at least once a month.
Remove soiling immediately to pre-
vent it from drying on.
Clean the interior cabinet of the refri-
geration appliance with a solution of
lukewarm water and a little washing-
up liquid. Wash all parts by hand. Do
not wash in a dishwasher.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the refri-
geration appliance sufficiently for a
short while and to prevent odour
buildup.
Aluminium frames
The frames for the shelves inside the
appliance and the door shelves are
partially made from aluminium.
Aluminium is a dynamic material. The
reflection and appearance of alu-
minium changes in different lights and
environments and depending on the
angle you observe it from. It is also
susceptible to scratching.
The aluminium frames may become
discoloured or damaged if soiling is
left on for too long.
Remove any soiling from the alu-
minium frame immediately.
Cleaning and care
98
Cleaning the door seal
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
If you treat the door seal with oils or
grease, it can become porous.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (you could
use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting
brush, for example).
Cleaning the water filter (In-
tensiveClear mesh filter)
Depending on the quantity of ice cubes
produced, the IntensiveClear mesh filter
must be cleaned approx. every
6months.
Clean the water filter will appear in the

Risk of damage caused by water
rushing out.
If the filter cartridge is not fitted cor-
rectly, there is a risk of water leaking
out of the refrigeration appliance.
When fitting the filter cartridge, be
sure to turn it as far as the marker.
Once the IntensiveClear mesh filter has
been cleaned, the water filter display
must be reset using Settings mode
on the display (see “Resetting the Water
filter display” in “Selecting additional

Cleaning and care
100
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigeration appliance.
Switch the refrigeration appliance
back on.
Switch the SuperFreeze function
on for a while so that the freezer zone
can cool down quickly.
Once the freezer zone has reached
the required temperature, place the
freezer baskets containing the frozen
food back in the freezer zone.
Switch the SuperFreeze function
off as soon as the temperature in the
freezer is a constant -18°C or colder.
Water filter
101
The refrigeration appliance is supplied
with a water filter (IntensiveClear mesh
filter) that filters mains water for making
ice cubes.
The IntensiveClear mesh filter filters
suspended particles from the mains
water – not bacteria or microbes.
The water filter does not need to be
replaced. However, to ensure the
highest quality of the ice cubes, it is
essential to clean the water filter regu-
larly.
After inserting a new water filter, dis-
pose of all ice cubes produced in the
next 24hours following the change.
Depending on the quantity of ice cubes
produced, the IntensiveClear mesh filter
must be cleaned approx. every
6months.
Clean the water filter appears on the dis-
play.

A large amount of food being frozen at once
An extended mains outage
If you find the alarm disruptive, you can switch it
off in advance by touching the OK sensor.
The alarm will stop.
Rectify the cause of the alarm.
The alarm will stop and the error message will disap-
pear from the display.
The temperature display will show the highest tem-
perature that was reached during the time in which
the temperature in the freezer zone rose.
Depending on the temperature displayed, you
should check whether food in the freezer has star-
ted to thaw or has defrosted. If it has, it should be
used as soon as possible. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
