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

Store food in an organised way.  
If food is not stored in an  
organised way, searching for an  
item will mean the door is open for  
longer.  
Allow hot food and drinks to cool  
down before placing them in the  
appliance.  
Placing hot food in the appliance  
will cause the compressor to run  
for a long time, as the appliance  
will have to work harder to lower  
the temperature.  
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation  
of liquids will cause a loss of  
coldness in the refrigerator.  
Place frozen food in the  
refrigerator to defrost.  
Do not over-fill the appliance to  
allow air to circulate.  
Defrosting  
Defrost the freezer compartment  
when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick  
has built up.  
A layer of ice hinders the cold  
from reaching the frozen food, and  
causes an increase in energy  
consumption.

Before using for the first time  
To enable the temperature to get  
sufficiently cold inside the appliance,  
allow the appliance to run for a few  
hours before placing food in it.

All the displays will go out and the  
cooling system will switch off.  
^ Clean the inside of the appliance and  
the accessories with luke warm water  
and a little washing-up liquid, and then  
dry with a soft cloth.

periods of time  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday:  
Important:  
To ensure the correct functioning of  
the appliance, let it stand for between  
1½ and 2 hours after transporting it to  
its final location before connecting it to  
the mains.  
^ switch the appliance off,  
^ switch off at the wall socket and  
withdraw the plug,  
^ clean the appliance out and  
Switching on  
^ leave the door ajar to air the  
appliance.  
If, during a long absence, the  
appliance is switched off but not  
cleaned out and the door is left shut,  
there is a danger of mould and  
odours building up inside the  
appliance.  
^ Press the On/Off button.  
The temperature display and the alarm  
indicator light will flash until the freezer  
has cooled down to the correct  
temperature for freezing.

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro-organisms. Reducing  
the temperature reduces their growth  
rate.  
Setting the temperature  
^ Press the temperature button  
repeatedly until the indicator light for  
the temperature you want lights up in  
the display.  
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen  
food for a long time, a temperature of  
-18 °C is required. At this temperature  
the growth of micro-organisms is  
generally halted. As soon as the  
The temperature value will change up  
until the setting for -32 °C is reached. It  
will then drop back to the -15 °C  
setting.  
temperature rises above -10 °C, the  
micro-organisms become active in the  
food again so that it cannot be kept as  
long. For this reason, partially defrosted  
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.  
Food may be re-frozen once it has  
been cooked, as the high temperatures  
achieved when cooking destroy most  
micro-organisms.  
The temperature can be set slightly  
colder within the displayed temperature  
range (e.g. between -15°C and -18 °C).  
^ Press the temperature button  
repeatedly until the indicator light for  
-15 °C lights up in the display.  
^ Press the button for approx. another  
5 seconds to set the temperature.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
The colder temperature setting within  
the small temperature range is now set.  
However, this is not visible in the  
temperature display.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
– if too much fresh food is being frozen  
at once,  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
13  
 
The correct temperature  
Temperature display  
The temperature display on the  
control panel always shows the  
required temperature.  
The temperature can be adjusted from:  
-15 °C to -32 °C  
The temperature display will flash if  
– the temperature in the appliance is  
not within the possible temperature  
range,  
– a different temperature is being set,  
– the temperature in the appliance has  
risen by several degrees, indicating  
that the appliance is warming up too  
much.  
This loss of coldness is no cause for  
concern in the following circumstances:  
– when the door has been left open for  
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a  
large amount of food,  
– when fresh food is being frozen.  
However, if the temperature in the  
freezer section remains above -18 °C  
for a long time, check that the frozen  
food has not started to defrost. If it has  
started thawing, check that the food is  
safe to use and if it is, use it as quickly  
as possible.  
14  
 
Alarm  
Your appliance has been fitted with a  
warning system which ensures that the  
temperature in the freezer cannot rise  
unnoticed. An alarm will sound, and the  
temperature display and the alarm  
indicator light will flash if the  
Activating the alarm system  
The alarm system is always active. It  
does not have to be switched on  
manually.  
Switching the alarm off early  
temperature becomes too warm.  
The temperature the appliance is set at  
determines the temperature the  
appliance recognises as being too  
warm.  
The alarm will stop and the indicator  
light will go out when the temperature  
reaches the correct level again.  
However, if the noise disturbs you, you  
can switch the alarm off before this if  
you wish.  
For example, the alarm may sound and  
the alarm indicator light may flash,  
– if you freeze a large amount of food  
at once without having switched on  
the Super freeze function  
beforehand.  
^ Press the alarm off button.  
Depending on the temperature in the  
freezer, you should check the condition  
of the food. If food has defrosted or  
started to defrost, check that it is still  
safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly  
as possible. Defrosted food may only  
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.  
The alarm will stop.  
The indicator light will stay on until  
the correct temperature has been  
reached. The alarm system is then  
ready should it be needed again.  
15  
 
Super freeze  
Switch the Super freeze function on  
before putting fresh food into the  
freezer.  
Switching off Super freeze  
The Super freeze function will switch off  
automatically after approx. 65 hours.  
The indicator light will go out and the  
appliance will run at normal power  
again.  
This helps food to freeze quickly and  
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours  
and appearance.  
To save energy, the Super freeze  
Super freeze is not necessary:  
function can be switched off once a  
constant temperature of -18°C or  
colder has been reached in the freezer.  
You should also check the temperature  
inside the appliance from time to time.  
– when putting in food that is already  
frozen.  
– when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food  
daily.  
^ Press the Super freeze button. The  
Super freeze indicator light will go  
out, and the appliance will continue  
to operate at normal power.  
Switching on Super freeze  
When freezing small quantities of food  
in the freezer, the Super freeze function  
should be switched on 6 hours  
beforehand. When freezing the  
maximum load of food the Super  
freeze function should be switched on  
24 hours beforehand.  
^ Press the Super freeze button. The  
Super freeze indicator light will come  
on.  
The appliance works at full power to  
lower the temperature in the appliance.

Freezing and storing food  
Maximum freezing capacity  
Isolation plate  
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  
(depending on model, available as an  
optional accessory)  
The isolation plate is used to isolate  
freezer drawers which you do not wish  
to use, and thus save energy. It should  
be used if only small amounts of food  
are being stored in the freezer.  
exceeded. The maximum freezing  
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour  
period is given on the data plate:  
"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".  
The maximum freezing capacity given  
on the data plate has been calculated  
according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan-  
dard.  
Important  
– At least 3 freezer drawers as well as  
the freezer tray must be used for  
freezing food.  
The other drawers can be isolated if  
they are not needed. However, no  
fewer than the two bottom drawers  
can be isolated.  
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.  
– The drawers being used for freezing  
must always be at the top of the  
freezer.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
– The isolation plate must be fitted  
below the lowest drawer in which  
food is being frozen.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
– The fewer drawers you use, the more  
energy you will save. Using the  
isolation plate increases energy  
savings considerably.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink less. As there is not so much  
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to  
reabsorb it during the defrosting  
process, and very little water collects  
around the defrosted food.

Freezing and storing food  
Storing frozen food  
Do not store food in the "inactive"  
drawers. The temperature is not  
controlled in these drawers and food  
stored in them would soon  
deteriorate.  
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  
Example  
If you only require 3 freezer drawers as  
well as the freezer tray for storing  
frozen food:  
reduced if it has been stored at a  
temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
^ Place food in the top 3 freezer  
drawers, leaving the other drawers  
empty.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have  
finished the rest of your shopping,  
and wrap it in newspaper or use a  
cool bag or cool box to transport it.  
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as  
possible.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may

cooked.

Freezing and storing food  
Home freezing  
lightly before freezing, but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Only freeze fresh food which is in a  
good condition.  
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in  
the freezer. This causes already  
frozen food to thaw, and increases  
the energy consumption  
Hints on home freezing  
– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
considerably. Allow hot foods and  
drinks to cool down before placing  
them in the freezer.  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
Packing  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
- bin bags  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
- plastic carrier bags  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of  
water to the boil, immerse the  
vegetables in the fast boiling water  
for 2-3 minutes, depending on  
variety. Remove, and plunge into  
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain  
and pack ready for freezing.  
- aluminium foil  
- freezer containers  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat sealing kits.  
– Do not season fresh foods or  
blanched vegetables before

date of freezing on the packaging.  
freezing. Only season cooked food

Freezing and storing food  
Before placing food in the freezer  
Each drawer and glass cold plate  
can be loaded with a maximum of  
25 kg.  
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of  
fresh food, switch on the Super  
freeze function for some time before  
placing the food in the freezer (see  
"Super freeze").  
If you remove a freezer drawer make  
sure that you do not block the  
ventilation slits in the back wall of  
the appliance. They are important  
for trouble-free operation of the  
appliance.  
This helps food that is already in the  
freezer to stay frozen.  
Placing food in the freezer  
Defrosting  
Fresh food can be placed in any  
drawer for freezing, however it is  
preferable to use the upper drawers.  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the drawers or on the glass cold  
plates so that it freezes through to the  
core as quickly as possible.  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
– at room temperature,  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep  
other food cold),  
When freezing, make sure that food  
already frozen does not come into  
contact with fresh food being frozen  
as this could cause the frozen food  
to begin to defrost.  
– in a steam oven.  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away  
and wash the container it was in, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning.  
Freezing large items  
If you wish to freeze large items such  
as a turkey or game, the glass cold  
plates between the drawers can be  
removed. To do this:  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
^ Remove the freezer drawers and  
carefully slide out the glass cold  
plates.  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh  
vegetables due to changes in the cell  
structure.  
The lowest freezer drawer must  
always remain in the appliance.  
20  
 
Freezing and storing food  
Freezer tray  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
The freezer tray is useful for freezing  
small items such as berries and  
vegetables. They can be frozen  
individually and therefore maintain their  
shape when defrosted.  
Ice cubes  
^ Space the food out loosely on the  
tray.  
Leave the food for 10-12 hours to  
freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it  
to a freezer bag or suitable container  
once frozen. Place the bag or container  
in the freezer drawer.  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water and place it on the bottom of  
one of the freezer drawers.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
remove the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by twisting the tray  
gently or by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
Cooling drinks  
When cooling drinks quickly, make sure  
bottles are not left in the freezer for  
more than one hour, as they could  
burst.  
21  
 
Freezing and storing food  
Cool pack  
The cool pack prevents the  
temperature in the freezer rising too  
quickly in the event of a power cut.  
Place the cool pack in the upper  
drawer directly on top of food, or in the  
freezer tray to save space. The cool  
pack will be at its most effective after it  
has been in the freezer for approx. 24  
hours.  
If there is a power cut, place the cool  
pack directly on top of the frozen food  
in the top drawer so that the food will  
be kept cold for as long as possible.  
When placing fresh food in the freezer,  
use the cool pack to separate the fresh  
food from the food which is already  
frozen so that the frozen food does not  
begin to thaw.  
The cool pack can also be used in a  
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for  
a short period of time.  
22  
 
Defrosting  
This freezer is equipped with a Frost  
free system. The freezer defrosts  
automatically.  
The moisture generated by defrosting  
collects in the condensor and is  
automatically dissipated by the  
condensor from time to time.  
This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer to remain  
permanently ice-free, however, the food  
stored in the freezer will not defrost.  
23  
 
Cleaning and care  
A range of Miele cleaning and  
conditioning agents is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department  
or via the internet at

^ After cleaning, stainless steel  
surfaces should be treated with a  
conditioning agent for stainless steel.  
Do not use steam cleaning  
apparatus to clean this appliance.  
Steam could reach the electrical  
components and cause a short  
circuit.  
It is important to do this every time  
the stainless steel surfaces are  
cleaned, as the stainless steel  
conditioner protects the surfaces  
and helps prevent re-soiling.  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is  
required in the event of a service  
call.  
Ventilation gaps  
^ The ventilation gaps should be  
cleaned regularly with a brush or  
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust  
will increase the energy consumption  
of the appliance.  
Before cleaning  
^ Switch the appliance off, switch off at  
the socket and remove the plug.  
^ Take any frozen food out of the  
appliance and store it in a cool place.

Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seal. These will cause the seal  
to deteriorate and become porous  
over time.  
^ Switch on the Super freeze function  
so that the freezer can cool down  
quickly.  
The door seal should be cleaned  
regularly with clean water and then  
wiped dry with a soft cloth.

^ Fit hinge plate c onto the opposite  
side and secure it with screws d.  
If necessary drill pilot holes for the  
screws or use a battery operated  
screwdriver.  
^ Fit covers a and b to their opposite  
sides.  
^ Realign the door with the appliance  
housing again if necessary using the  
long slots in the lower hinge plate.  
Then tighten the screws.  
^ Loosely attach the handle to the  
opposite side of the door with the two  
front screws b.  
Mounting plate c must be positioned  
on the side of the door so that when the  
door is closed it is flush with the side of  
the appliance.  
If this is not the case,  
^ tighten both grub screws a with an  
allen key until mounting plate c lines  
up correctly.  
^ Then tighten all 4 fixing screws b.  
^ Slide the side section of the handle  
d into the guides on the mounting  
plate until it clicks into place.

Changing the door hinging  
It is important to check that the side  
section of the handle d does not  
come into contact with the door seal  
when opening the door, as this  
would damage the door seal  
permanently.  
If, after you have refitted the handle,  
you find that the side section does  
touch the door seal when the door is  
opened:  
^ Realign mounting plate c with grub  
screws a until the mounting plate  
and the side section of the handle d  
are at the correct angle and the side  
section does not touch the door seal  
when the door is opened.

Aligning the appliance  
The appliance door can be aligned to  
the housing using the outer long slots in  
the lower hinge plate.  
In the following illustration the door  
is not shown in the closed position to  
make it easier to see what happens  
next.  
^ Remove centre screw a from the  
hinge plate.  
^ Slightly loosen both outer screws b.  
^ Align the door by sliding the hinge  
plate to the left or right.  
^ Then tighten screws b again. Screw  
a does not need to be refitted.

Building in the appliance  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen  
furniture housing unit. The appliance  
door will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by  
55 mm in the middle of the door. This  
enables the doors to be opened and  
shut without being obstructed.  
When installed next to a wall d a  
distance of approx. 55 mm must be  
maintained on the hinge side between  
the wall d and the appliance b, so  
that the doors and the handles have  
sufficient space for opening.

The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance across the entire width of the  
top box for air to circulate.  
The cross section of the air outlet under  
the room ceiling must be at least  
300 cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the  
appliance has to work harder, resulting  
in an increase in electricity  
consumption.
