kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
Technical safety
The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU
guidelines.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the green-
house effect.
The use of this coolant 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 coolant flowing around the
system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect
on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking
coolant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
– contact the Miele Service Department.
The more coolant 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 combustible gases building up.
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m
3
of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
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.
Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utility
room). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical con-
nection and cause a short circuit.
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.
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
Correct use
The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range
(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.
The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate in-
side the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient
temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperat-
ure.
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.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could
cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and explosion.
Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or li-
quids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could ex-
plode.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are
not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, caus-
ing injury or damage.
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 frost burn.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
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.
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liab-
ility.
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 foods or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
Transporting the appliance
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. The appliance is very heavy and
must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from 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.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. In normal operation there is no risk.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-
rates the airways.
Caring for the environment
12
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic equipment of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po-
tentially 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 it with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during trans-
portation to an authorised collection de-
pot.
In this way, coolant in the pipework and
oil in the compressor will be contained,
and will not leak into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
presents no danger to children while
being stored awaiting disposal. See
"Warning and Safety instructions" for
more information.

Switching off for longer peri-
ods of time
If, during a long absence, the ap-
pliance is switched off but not
cleaned and the door(s) left shut,
there is a danger of mould building
up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday:
switch the appliance off,
disconnect it from the mains,
clean the appliance and
leave the door(s) ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odours building up in-
side the appliance.
It is also advisable to carry out the last
two instructions if you are switching
the refrigerator section off for a longer
period of time.
The correct temperature
25
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.
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 it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The appli-
ance is designed for use within spe-
cific ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use in ambient tem-
peratures for which it is not designed.
. . . in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
. . . 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 gener-
ally halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above -10°C, the micro-organ-
isms become active in the food again
so that it cannot be kept as long. For
this reason, partially defrosted or fully
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 correct temperature

In normal operation the upper temper-

the freezer section.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this tem-
perature to then be shown as a con-
stant temperature in the display.
If the temperature in the freezer
remains above -18°C for a long
time, check that the frozen food has
not started to defrost.
If it has, check that the food is safe
to use and if it is, then use it as soon
as possible or cook it before freezing
it again.

sensors were last touched. The tem-
perature will then be adopted auto-
matically.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
the appliance door.
The temperature display will then
change to the current temperature in
the appliance.
Temperature range
– The temperature in the refrigerator
section can be adjusted from 1°C to
9°C.
– The temperature in the freezer sec-
tion can be adjusted from -15°C to
-26°C.
Tip: If you have adjusted the temperat-
ure, wait for approx. 6hours if the ap-
pliance 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 appliance to
give an accurate reading.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to adjust it again.
Using Super cool, Super freeze and DynaCool
28
The following functions are available
depending on section:
– Refrigerator section
Super cool and DynaCool
– Freezer section
Super freeze
See the following pages for more in-
formation on these functions and how
to switch them on.
Super freeze function
For optimum results switch on the Su-
per freeze function before putting fresh
food into the freezer section. This helps
food to freeze quickly and retain its nu-
trients, vitamins, flavours and appear-
ance.
Super freeze is not necessary:
– when placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen.
– when freezing up to 2kg fresh food
daily.
When freezing small quantities of food
in the freezer, the Super freeze function
should be switched on 6hours before-
hand.
When freezing the maximum load of
food, the Super freeze function should
be switched on 24hours beforehand.
When Super freeze is switched on, the
appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the appliance.
The Super freeze function will switch it-
self off automatically after approx.65
hours. The quantity of fresh food placed
in the freezer will determine the duration
before the Super freeze function
switches off.
Tip: To save energy, the Super freeze
function can be switched off once a
constant temperature of -18 °C is
reached inside the freezer section.
Check the temperature inside the
freezer section.
When Super freeze is switched off, the
appliance will run at normal power
again.
Super cool function
The Super cool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator section to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Tip: Super cool is particularly recom-
mended for the rapid chilling of large
amounts of fresh food or drink.
When Super cool is switched on, the
appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the appliance.
It switches itself off automatically after
approx. 12hours.
Tip: To save energy, Super cool can be
switched off once food and drinks are
sufficiently chilled.
When Super cool is switched off the ap-
pliance reverts to working at normal
power.
Using Super cool, Super freeze and DynaCool
29
DynaCool function
When the DynaCool function is not
switched on, the natural circulation of
air in the appliance will cause different
temperature zones in the refrigerator as
the cold, heavy air will sink to the low-
est section of the appliance. You should
bear this in mind when placing food in
the appliance (see "Storing food in the
refrigerator section").
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, (e.g. after the weekly shop) it
is a good idea to switch DynaCool on.
This way you can distribute the temper-
ature inside the appliance to all areas
more evenly so that all the food will be
chilled to about the same degree.
The temperature is set as normal.
DynaCool should also be selected
when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 30 °C), and
– the room humidity level is high.
With DynaCool switched on, the fan is
ready: when the compressor switches
on, the fan also switches on automat-
ically.
Tip: Because DynaCool requires more
energy, you should switch it off under
normal conditions.
To save energy, the fan switches off
automatically whilst the door is open.

Temperature and door alarm
31
The appliance has 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.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature in the freezer
remains above -18°C for a long
time, check that the frozen food has
not started to defrost.
If it has, check that the food is safe
to use and if it is, then use it as soon
as possible or cook it before freezing
it again.
If the temperature in the freezer section
becomes too warm
will light up red
in the temperature display for the
freezer section.
An alarm will also sound until the cause
of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is
switched off.
The temperature the appliance is set at
determines the temperature the appli-
ance recognises as being too warm.
The temperature alarm is only dis-
played in the start screen and not
when selecting a setting.
A temperature alarm is displayed be-
fore an existing door alarm.
The temperature alarm occurs, e.g.
– when the appliance is switched on
and the temperature in the freezer
section differs greatly from the set
temperature,
– if a lot of room air enters the freezer
when food is being loaded, re-ar-
ranged or taken out,
– when freezing large amounts of food
at once,
– in the event of a power cut,
– if the appliance has a fault.
The alarm will stop and
will go out
as soon as the temperature has
dropped down to the correct level
again.
Switching the temperature alarm off
early and checking the warmest tem-
perature
If the alarm disturbs you, you can
switch it off early. You can also find out
what the warmest temperature was in
the freezer section.
Touch
.
The fault message is confirmed and the
alarm will stop. The start screen ap-
pears in the display: the warmest tem-
perature recorded in the freezer section
so far will flash in the temperature dis-
play for approx. 1minute. The temper-
ature display will then change to show
the current temperature in the freezer
section.
You can exit from the flashing temperat-
ure display early:
Touch the temperature display for the
freezer section.
The flashing warmest temperature dis-
play will go out. The display will then re-
vert to showing the current temperature
in the freezer section.
Temperature and door alarm
32
Door alarm
The appliance has a warning system to
avoid increased energy consumption if
a door is left open, and to protect frozen
food from warm air.
If a door is left open for a longer period
of time
will light up yellow in the
temperature display and an alarm will
sound four times. If the cause of the
alarm is not rectified or if the alarm has
not been switched off early, the alarm
will sound again approx. every
3minutes.
The period of time before the door
alarm sounds depends on the setting
selected (default setting = 2minutes).
The door alarm can also be switched
off (see "Selecting further settings -
Setting the volume / switching off
alarms and audible tones").
The alarm will stop and
will go out
as soon as the door is closed.
The door alarm is only displayed in the
start screen and not during setting.
If an alarm does not sound, even
though the door alarm has been
triggered, the alarm has been
switched off in Settings mode (see
"Selecting further settings - Setting
the volume / switching off alarms").

Explanation of the different
Settings
Switching Party mode on or off
This function is particularly useful if you
need to cool or freeze large quantities
of food and drink quickly and make ice
cubes, for example, if you are expecting
a large number of guests.
Super cool, DynaCool and Super freeze
are switched on automatically:
The refrigerator section as well as the
freezer section cool down very rapidly
to their lowest temperature (depending
on the ambient room temperature).
Tip: Switch the function on approx.
4hours before placing food in the appli-
ance.
If Party mode cannot be switched on,
the refrigerator section has been
switched off separately or Holiday
mode is switched on.
Party mode will switch off automatically
after approx. 20 hours. You can switch
it off earlier at any time.
If previously switched on, Party mode
will switch off if there is an interruption
to the power supply.
Selecting further settings
36
Switch Holiday mode on/off
This function is useful when going on
holiday if you do not wish to switch the
refrigerator section off completely and
do not need a high degree of cooling.
The freezer section remains switched
on at -18°C. The refrigerator section is
regulated at a temperature of 15°C, re-
maining in operation whilst also saving
energy.
Do not store any temperature-
sensitive food which goes off easily
such as fruit, vegetables, fish, meat
and dairy products during this time.
Food which does not go off quickly can
be stored in the appliance for some
time at this moderate refrigerator sec-
tion temperature and the energy con-
sumption is lower than in normal opera-
tion.
This also prevents the build-up of
odours and mould which can occur if
the refrigerator section is switched off
and the door is closed.
When Holiday mode is switched on, it is
displayed in the start screen:
°C
-18

Danger of explosion.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products con-
taining propellants (e.g. spray cans).
If storing food which contains a
lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the
appliance door, make sure that it
does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation there are
different temperature zones in the refri-
gerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-
tion of the appliance. Make use of the
different temperature zones when pla-
cing food in the appliance.
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.
Food must not touch the back of the
refrigerator section as it may freeze to
the back wall.
This appliance has Dynamic cooling,
which helps to keep an even temper-
ature when the fan is running, making
the difference between the various
zones less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area is directly above the
fruit and vegetable drawer(s) and at the
back of the appliance.
Use this for all delicate and highly per-
ishable 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
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
44
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5°C as some
food is sensitive to cold. The appear-
ance, consistency, taste and / or the vit-
amin content of certain types of food
can be adversely affected by being
stored in too cold a place.
Food which does not tolerate cold tem-
peratures includes:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits
(such as lemons, oranges, mandar-
ins, grapefruit),
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Aubergines/eggplant, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers/capsicum, toma-
toes, courgettes/zucchini,
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.
When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is the most important
factor in determining how long it stays
fresh, and how long it can be kept in the
appliance.
Always observe the use-by date and
the recommended storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator should be
kept to a minimum, for example, when
transporting food in a hot car.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when
shopping and on return place food into
the appliance immediately.
Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged in the refriger-
ator section. This will prevent food
smells from affecting other food, food
from drying out, and also any cross-
contamination of bacteria. This is espe-
cially important for storing protein-
based food such as meat or fish.
The growth of bacteria, such as sal-
monella, can be avoided by setting the
correct temperature and maintaining
good standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable
drawer(s).
Protein rich food
Please note that food rich in protein de-
teriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example, deterior-
ates faster than fish, and fish deterior-
ates faster than meat.

Adjusting the door shelf /
bottle shelf
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 se-
curely pushed back into position.
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.
The raised edge on the protective strip
at the back must face upwards to pre-
vent food from touching the back of the
appliance and freezing to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from be-
ing dislodged by mistake.
Adjusting or removing the
bottle holder
The bottle holder can be moved left or
right to create more room for drink car-
tons.
The bottle holder can be removed com-
pletely (e.g. for cleaning):
Pull the bottle holder upwards to re-
move it from the rear edge of the
bottle shelf.
The bottle holder can be replaced after
cleaning.
Adjusting the interior fittings (refrigerator section)
46
Adjusting the bottle rack
The bottle rack is available as an op-
tional accessory (see "Accessories -
optional accessories").
The bottle rack can be placed at differ-
ent positions in the appliance.
Raise the bottle rack slightly at the
front, and pull it forwards a little until
the notch at the side is in line with the
shelf support. It can then be raised or
lowered to the required level.
The rear rail must face upwards to pre-
vent bottles from touching the back of
the appliance.
Stoppers prevent the bottle rack from
being dislodged by mistake.
Moving the charcoal filters
Charcoal filters and a KKF-FF (Active
AirClean) holder are available as op-
tional accessories (see "Accessories -
optional accessories").
With very strong smelling food (e.g. very
ripe cheese):
– Place the holder with the charcoal fil-
ters on the shelf where this food is
kept.
– Change the charcoal filters earlier if
necessary.
– Use more charcoal filters (with hold-
ers) in the appliance (see "Accessor-
ies - Optional accessories").
The holder for the charcoal filters sits
on the protective strip at the back of the
shelf.
To move the charcoal filters, pull the
holder upwards to remove it from the
protective strip.
Refit it on the protective strip of the
shelf you wish to use it on.
Freezing and storing food
47
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".
The maximum freezing capacity given
on the data plate has been calculated
according to DINENISO15502Stand-
ard.
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; the rest collects
around the food.
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
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 re-
duced if it has been stored at a tem-
perature 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.
Store it in the freezer section as soon
as possible.
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.
Freezing and storing food
48
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, sour
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 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. Re-
move, 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.
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or
rolled meat from freezing together in
solid blocks when packed, separate
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.
– Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before freezing.
Only season cooked food lightly be-
fore freezing, but care should be
taken as the taste of some spices al-
ters 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
Freeze food in portions.
Suitable packing material
– plastic freezer film
– freezer bags
– aluminium foil
– freezer containers
Unsuitable packing material
– wrapping paper
– grease-proof 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 or bag ties
– freezer tape.
Tip: Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.
Freezing and storing food
49
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
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
"Using Super cool and Super freeze -
Super freeze function").
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer section
The following maximum loading
weights must not be exceeded:
– freezer drawer = 25kg
– glass cold plate = 35kg
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause frozen
food to begin to thaw.
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
- Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawer so that it freezes
through to the core as quickly as pos-
sible.
- Freezing the maximum amount (see
data plate)
Ensure ventilation slots at the back
of the freezer section are always free
from obstruction.
If the ventilation slots are blocked the
cooling performance will decrease
and energy consumption will in-
crease.
Place food on the glass plate in such
a way that the ventilation slots are
not blocked.
Please note that when removing the
drawers, the lowest freezer drawer
must always remain in the freezer.
Remove the upper freezer drawers.
Place the food flat on the upper glass
cold plates so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen:
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.
Freezing and storing food
50
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 section.
Food group Storage
time
(Months)
Ice cream 2 to 6
Bread, baked goods 2 to 6
Cheese 2 to 4
Fish, oily 1 to 2
Fish, lean 1 to 5
Sausage, ham 1 to 3
Game, pork 1 to 12
Poultry, beef 2 to 10
Vegetables, fruit 6 to 18
Herbs 6 to 10
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Defrosting
Frozen food 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 section (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to
keep the other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Flat pieces of partially thawed fish can
be placed directly into a hot frying pan.
Meat and poultry It is particularly im-
portant 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 sal-
monella poisoning. Ensure that meat
and fish (e.g. mince, chicken, fish fillets)
do not come into contact with other
foods while defrosting. Catch the liquid
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.
Freezing and storing food
51
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.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator
section, switch on the Super cool func-
tion.
If you want to cool a large amount of
drinks, or if you want to cool drinks in
the freezer section, select the Party
mode function in Settings mode.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour; otherwise
they could burst.
Tip: To avoid forgetting about bottles
placed in the freezer you can set the
minute minder (QuickCool timer) in
Settings mode.
Using accessories
Ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray three quarters
full of water and place it on the bot-
tom 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 if it
is stuck.
Tip: Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray gently
or by holding it under cold running wa-
ter for a short time.
Adjusting the interior fittings
Removing the drawers and glass
plates from the freezer section
The drawers can be removed for filling,
emptying or cleaning purposes.
You can also use the space in the
freezer section more flexibly. If you wish
to freeze large items such as a turkey or
game, the glass cold plates between
the drawers can be removed.
Pull out the drawers as far as they will
go, and then lift them up and out.
Lift the glass plate slightly, pull it for-
wards and out.
Defrosting
52
Refrigerator section
The refrigerator section defrosts auto-
matically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst the compressor is running. You
do not need to remove this, as it will de-
frost and evaporate automatically with
the warmth generated by the com-
pressor.
The condensate is drained away
through a channel and drain hole, then
fed into an evaporation system at the
back of the appliance.
Condensate must be able to
drain away unhindered at all times.
Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this.
Freezer section
The appliance is equipped with a "Frost
free" system. The freezer defrosts auto-
matically.
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, however, the food stored in the
freezer will not defrost.
Cleaning and care
53
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or the lighting.
Steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach the electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaning appli-
ance to clean the appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
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.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used inside the appliance must be
food safe.
To avoid damaging all the surfaces of
your appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– stainless steel cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaner
– oven sprays
– glass cleaning agents
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers
– melamine eraser blocks
– sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge,
lukewarm water with a little washing-up
liquid to clean surfaces of the appli-
ance.
The following pages contain important
information on cleaning.
Cleaning and care
54
Preparing the appliance for
cleaning
Switch the appliance off.
appears in the display and cooling is
switched off.
Disconnect it from the mains.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Remove the shelves and bottle shelf
from the door.
Take out the freezer drawers and
glass plates.
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning.
Dismantling an adjustable shelf
Before cleaning the shelf remove the
plastic trim and protective strip at the
back of the shelf as follows:
Place the shelf on a worktop covered
with a soft material (e.g. on a tea
towel).
First pull the plastic trim off, starting
from one side.
Then pull the protective strip off.
After cleaning the shelf reattach the
plastic trim and the protective strip.
Cleaning and care
55
Cleaning the interior and ac-
cessories
Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
Remove soiling immediately to prevent
it from drying on.
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
The plastic trim on the bottle and
door shelves and on the adjustable
shelves is not suitable for cleaning in
a dishwasher.
Remove the trim before cleaning the
door shelves and adjustable shelves
in a dishwasher.
The following parts cannot be cleaned
in a dishwasher:
– the plastic trim
– all drawers and the compartment lid
(depending on model)
– the bottle rack
These accessories should all be hand
washed.
Cleaning and care
56
The following parts are suitable for
cleaning in a dishwasher:
The maximum temperature of the
dishwashing programme selected
must not exceed 55°C.
Contact with natural dyes e.g. from
carrots, tomatoes and ketchup may
discolour the plastic parts in the
dishwasher. This discolouration does
not affect the stability of the parts.
– the bottle holder, ice cube tray
(depending on model)
– the shelves and bottle shelf in the
door (with plastic trim removed)
– the adjustable shelves (with the trim/
strips removed and without the print-
ing)
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently so that con-
densate can drain away unhindered.
Use a straw or similar to clear the
drain if necessary.
Leave the doors open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odours building up.
Cleaning appliance doors and
side panels
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
Therefore it is best to remove soiling
from appliance doors and side pan-
els immediately.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discol-
our the surfaces.
See "Cleaning agents" at the begin-
ning of this section.
The surfaces should be cleaned using
a solution of hot water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge. They can also be cleaned
with a damp microfibre cloth (without
using any cleaning agent).
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and 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 (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners)
Cleaning and care
57
Cleaning the compressor and
metal grille at the back of the
appliance
When cleaning the compressor
and the grille, make sure that the
pipework and other components do
not get broken or damaged in any
way.
The compressor and metal grille at the
back of the appliance (heat exchanger)
should be dusted at least once a year. A
build-up of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
Cleaning the door seals
If a door seal is damaged or if it
has come out of the groove, the door
will not close properly and cooling
performance will be reduced.
Condensate will build up in the in-
terior and this can cause a build-up
of ice.
Do not damage door seals and en-
sure that they do not come out of
their groove.
Do not use any grease or oil on door
seals as these will cause them to de-
teriorate and become porous over
time.
Door seals should be cleaned regu-
larly with clean water, and then wiped
dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care
58
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
Switch on the Super freeze function
for a while so that the freezer section
can cool down quickly.
Switch on the Super cool function for
a while so that the refrigerator section
can cool down quickly.
Place food in the refrigerator section
and close the door.
Place the freezer drawers with the
frozen food back in the freezer sec-
tion and close the door.
When the temperature in the freezer
section is a constant -18°C or colder
press the Super freeze button to
switch the Super freeze function off.
Replacing the charcoal filters
Charcoal filters with a KKF-FF (Active
AirClean) holder are available as op-
tional accessories (see "Accessories -
Optional accessories").
Replace the charcoal filters in the
holder every 6months.
If you would like to be reminded auto-
matically every 6months, switch on the
Replace charcoal filter reminder (see
"Selecting further settings - Replace
charcoal filter reminder").
Replacement KKF-RF charcoal filters
can be obtained from your Miele
dealer, Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
Pull the charcoal filter holder upwards
to remove it from the shelf.
When in position the charcoal filters
must not touch the back wall of the
appliance as the moisture could
cause them to stick to the back wall.
Insert the new charcoal filters into
the holder so that they do not pro-
trude over the edge of the holder.
Cleaning and care
59
Remove both charcoal filters and
place the new filters with the raised
edge pointing downwards in the
holder.
Place the holder in the middle of the
raised edge at the back of the shelf,
so that it clicks into position.
Touch to confirm that the filters
have been replaced.
The Replace charcoal filter reminder will
go out in the display and the counter

Some minor problems can be corrected without contacting Miele.
If, having followed the suggestions below, you still cannot resolve the problem,
please contact Miele.
To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the doors
while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable
danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele au-
thorised technician.
Problem Cause and remedy
The appliance is not
getting cold and the in-
terior lighting does not
come on when the door
is opened.
The appliance has not been switched on.
Switch the appliance on.
The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly.
Insert the plug into the socket correctly and switch
on.
Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. There
could be a fault with the appliance, the household
electrical wiring or another electrical appliance.
Contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
The compressor runs
continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool-
ing is required.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time, so the
temperature in the ap-
pliance is dropping.
The ventilation gaps have been covered or become
too dusty.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The doors have been opened too frequently, or a
large amount of fresh food has been placed inside
and/or frozen at the same time.
Only open the doors when necessary and for as
short a time as possible.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.

quickly separate the appliance from the
mains.
If the mains socket is not accessible
after the appliance has been built in, a
separator for each terminal must be
present. There must be an all-pole con-
tact gap of at least 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays ac-
cording to EN60335).
The plug and mains connection cable
must not come into contact with the
back of the appliance as vibrations can
cause damage to these components.
This, in turn, could result in a short cir-
cuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
this appliance.
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).
Do not connect the appliance to an in-
verter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source e.g. solar
power. When switched on, peak loads
in the system can cause the safety
switch-off mechanism to be triggered.
This can damage the electronic unit.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called energy-saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of en-
ergy supplied to the appliance, causing
it to overheat.
If the mains cable needs to be replaced
this must be done by a suitably quali-
fied person.
Installation
73
Do not place any appliance
which gives off heat, such as a
toaster, mini-oven or double burner
hob, on top of this appliance There is
the danger of these catching fire.
This appliance must not be installed
directly next to another refrigerator or
freezer. It does not have side-wall
heating, so installation next to another
refrigerator or freezer could cause a
build-up of condensation between
them. Further information is available
from your dealer
Location
This appliance should not be installed
where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
directly adjacent to a heat-producing
appliance such as an oven or a radiator.
The room temperature should not go
above or below the climate range for
which the appliance is designed. The
higher the ambient temperature of the
room, the more energy the appliance
requires to operate. The appliance
should be installed in a dry, well ventil-
ated room.
When installing the appliance, please
be aware:
– The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
– The plug and cable must not touch
the rear of the appliance as they
could be damaged by vibrations from
the appliance.
– Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind this appliance.
In environments with high hu-
midity condensation can build up on
the external appliance panels.
This can lead to corrosion of the
panels.
For prevention, it is advisable to in-
stall the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or air condi-
tioned room.
Please ensure that the appliance
doors close properly, the ventilation
gaps are not covered over and the
appliance is installed in accordance
with these instructions.
Installation
74
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use within
a certain climate range (ambient tem-
peratures) and should not be used out-
side this range. The climate range of the
appliance is stated on the data plate in-
side the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to switch off
for too long, causing the internal tem-
perature in the appliance to rise with the
risk of food deteriorating and going off.
Ventilation
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm.
To ensure efficient ventilation the
ventilation gaps must not be covered
or blocked in any way. They should
be dusted on a regular basis.
Fitting wall spacers supplied
The wall spacers supplied must be
used in order to achieve declared en-
ergy consumption values and to pre-
vent the build-up of condensation at
high ambient temperatures. Appliance
depth is increased by approx. 35mm
with the wall spacers fitted. If the wall
spacers are not used the functionality
of the appliance is not affected. En-
ergy consumption is only slightly in-
creased with less distance between
the appliance and the wall.
Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the appliance on the top left and
right.
Installation
75
Installation
Two people are required for in-
stalling the appliance.
The appliance must be empty
when it is installed.
Move the appliance carefully on
floors that are sensitive to scratching
to prevent damage.
For easier installation there are trans-
port handles on the back at the top
and transport wheels underneath the
appliance.
Prepare the appliance for installation
as close as possible to its intended
installation location.
Release the mains cable from the
back of the appliance.
Release the cable clip from the back
of the appliance.the back of the ap-
pliance.
Check that all parts at the back of the
appliance are unhindered. Carefully
remove any hindrance.
Move the appliance carefully to its in-
tended installation location.
Position the appliance with the wall
spacers (if used) or the back close to
the wall.
Aligning the appliance
To align the appliance, adjust the
front feet using the spanner supplied
Levelling the appliance door
Ensure that you unscrew adjustable
foot from the hinge plate until it
sits on the floor. Then unscrew the
foot by a further ¼turn.
Installation
76
Building the appliance into a
kitchen run
If the ventilation gaps given are
not observed, the compressor 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.
It is essential to observe the ventila-
tion gaps given.

* The appliance depth is increased by
approx. 35 mm for appliances with
wall spacers fitted.
The appliance can be built into a kit-
chen run and installed directly next to a
kitchen furniture housing unit. The ap-
pliance door must protrude in front of
furniture fronts by at least 65mm. This
enables the doors to be opened and
shut without being obstructed. To
match the height of the rest of the kit-
chen, the appliance can be fitted with a
suitable top box.
When installed next to a wall a dis-
tance of approx. 40mm must be main-
tained on the hinge side between the
wall and the appliance, so that the
doors and the handles have sufficient
space for opening.
The larger the ventilation gap, the
more economically the compressor
will work.
– A ventilation gap of at least 50mm
depth must be provided behind the
whole width of the top box for air to
circulate.
– The cross-section of the air inlet and
outlet under the ceiling must be at
least 300cm
