– by the guests in hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts and other typical

home settings.

This refrigeration appliance is not intended for outdoor use.

 It must only be used as a domestic appliance to store deep frozen

food, freeze fresh food and to make ice.

Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be

dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping

cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar

substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Dir-

ective. Incorrect use of the refrigeration appliance for such purposes

may cause deterioration of the items stored. The refrigeration appli-

ance is also not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of ex-

plosion.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incor-

rect use or operation of the appliance.

 The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use

it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of

incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

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m

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

 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.

 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.

 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.

 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has

been built in.

 The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during

installation, maintenance and repair work.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 warranty, repairs should only be un-

dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the

warranty is invalidated.

 Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele ori-

ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of

the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

 This refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special lamp to

cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical

resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only

be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suit-

able for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a

Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service De-

partment. This refrigeration appliance contains several light sources

with at least energy efficiency classG.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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

Accessories and spare parts

 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with

this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-

facturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil-

ity.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal oper-

ation.

 The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-

rates the airways.

Caring for the environment

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.

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

Packaging material

 Remove all packaging material from

the inside of the appliance.

Cleaning the appliance

Please refer to the relevant instruc-

tions in “Cleaning and care”.

 Clean the inside of the appliance and

the accessories.

Operating the refrigeration ap-

pliance

A light touch of the finger on the sensor

controls is all that is required to operate

this refrigeration appliance.

Every touch of a sensor is confirmed

with an audible keypad tone. This

keypad tone can be switched off (see

“Selecting further settings” – “Audible

tones”).

Switching the refrigeration appliance

When the refrigeration appliance is con-

nected to the electrical supply, the

power connection symbol will ap-

pear in the display after a short while.

 Touch the On/Off sensor.

The refrigeration appliance will start

cooling. The power connection sym-

bol will go out and the temperature

display will appear.

The temperature display and the alarm

symbol will flash at the same time

until the required temperature is

reached. If the current temperature in-

side the appliance is above 0°C, two

bars will flash in the display.

When the appliance door is opened, the

interior lighting comes on and the LED

lighting becomes brighter until it

reaches its maximum brightness.

Switching on and off

To enable the temperature to get suffi-

ciently cold inside the refrigeration ap-

pliance, allow the appliance to run for

approx. 2hours before placing food in

it.

Do not place food in the freezer sec-

tion until it has reached the required

coldness (at least -18°C).

Switching off

 Touch the On/Off sensor.

If this does not work, the safety lock

is still activated.

The temperature display will go out and

the mains connection symbol  will

appear.

The cooling process will be switched

off.

Switching off for longer peri-

ods of time

If, during a long absence, the refri-

geration appliance is switched off

but not cleaned and the door(s) left

shut, there is a risk of mould forming

inside the appliance.

It is essential to clean the refrigera-

tion appliance.

If the refrigeration appliance is not go-

ing to be used for a longer period of

time, observe the following:

 Switch the refrigeration appliance off.

 Switch the appliance off at the wall

socket and pull the plug out of the

socket, or disconnect the fuse.

 Clean the refrigeration appliance and

leave the door ajar to air the appli-

ance and avoid odours building up in-

side.

The correct temperature

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.

Temperature display

In normal operation, the temperature

display shows the average, current

freezer temperature in the refrigera-

tion appliance.

If the temperature is not within the nor-

mal temperature display range, dashes

will flash in the display.

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.

Setting the temperature

 Use the two sensors underneath the

display to set the temperature.

By touching the sensor

- the temperature will get colder,

- the temperature will get warmer.

The temperature being set will flash in

the display.

The following information shows in the

display while the sensors are being

touched:

- Touching a sensor once: the last

temperature selected flashes.

The correct temperature

- Each subsequent touch of the

sensor: adjusts the temperature

shown in 1°C steps.

- Leaving a finger on the sensor

changes the temperature continu-

ously.

Approximately 5 seconds after the last

time a sensor has been touched, the

current temperature inside the appli-

ance is automatically shown.

 Touch the OK sensor to confirm your

selection.

If you have adjusted the temperature,

wait for approx. 6 hours if the appli-

ance is not very full and for approx.

24 hours if the appliance is full before

checking the temperature display, as it

will take this long for the 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.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from

-15°C to -28°C.

Using Super freeze

Super freeze function

Switch on Super freeze before putting

fresh food into the freezer.

This helps food to freeze quickly and re-

tain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and

appearance.

Exceptions:

- when placing food in the freezer that

is already frozen.

- when freezing up to 2kg fresh food

daily.

Switching on Super freeze

The Super freeze function should be

switched on 6 hours before placing

food for freezing in the freezer. When

freezing the maximum amount of food

the Super freeze function should be

switched on 24 hours beforehand.

 Touch the Super freeze control so

that it is highlighted in yellow.

The appliance will work at full power to

lower the temperature in the freezer.

Switching off Super freeze

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 it switches off. The Su-

per freeze symbol will go out and the

appliance will run at normal power

again.

To save energy, you can manually

switch off the Super freeze function

once a constant temperature of -18 °C

or colder has been reached in the

freezer section. Keep an eye on the

temperature as it falls.

 Touch the Super freeze control so

that it is no longer highlighted in yel-

low.

The appliance will then continue run-

ning at normal power.

Temperature and door alarm

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

 Health risk caused by decom-

posing food.

If the temperature in the freezer re-

mains above -18°C for a long time,

the frozen goods can start to defrost.

This will reduce the storage life of the

food.

Check whether the frozen goods

have started to defrost. If they have,

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 be-

comes too warm, the alarm symbol

will flash in the display. An alarm tone

will also sound.

The temperature the refrigeration appli-

ance is set at determines the temperat-

ure the appliance recognises as being

too warm.

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 goods are being

loaded, rearranged or taken out.

- When freezing large amounts of food

at once.

- When freezing fresh food which is still

warm.

- In the event of a mains outage.

- If the refrigeration appliance has a

fault.

The alarm will stop and the alarm sym-

bol will go out as soon as the tem-

perature has dropped down to the cor-

rect level again.

Switching the temperature alarm off

early

cial lubricant in the telescopic run-

ners during cleaning.

Wipe the telescopic runners with a

well-wrung out damp cloth to clean

them.

 To replace the drawer, push the run-

ners back in completely and then

place the drawer on them.

 Push the drawer into the appliance

until it clicks into position.

Removing the shelves.

The shelves can be removed.

 Lift the shelf slightly at the front and

then pull it forwards and out.

Freezing and storing food

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

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

Before placing food in the appliance

 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 food in the freezer section

 The following maximum loading

weights must not be exceeded:

– Top freezer drawer = 5kg

– Freezer drawer = 25kg

– Shelf = 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 lower freezer

drawers.

 Place the food flat in the bottom of

the freezer drawers so that it freezes

through to the core as quickly as pos-

sible.

When placing food on the glass

plates make sure that you do not

block the ventilation slits in the back

wall of the appliance. They are im-

portant for trouble-free operation of

the appliance and normal energy

consumption.

- Freezing the maximum amount (see

data plate)

 Remove the freezer drawers

 Place the food flat on the glass 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.

- 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.

 Remove the freezer drawers. Care-

fully lift and slide out the glass cold

plates.

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.

Freezing and storing food

Poultry, beef 2to10

Vegetables, fruit 6to18

Herbs 6to10

For standard freezing results, follow the

advice on packaging.

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.

Freezing and storing food

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.

Using accessories

Making ice cubes

 Fill the ice cube tray three quarters

full with 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 holding it under running

water for a short time.

Using the cool pack

The cool pack prevents the temperature

in the freezer zone from rising too

quickly in the event of a power cut. This

can help prolong the storage life.

 Place the cool pack in the top drawer

of the freezer zone.

The cool pack will be at its most effect-

ive after it has been in the freezer for

approx. 24hours.

–In the event of a power cut

 Place the frozen cool pack directly on

top of the frozen food in the front of

the top drawer.

Tip: 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.

Automatic defrosting

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

Do not let water get into the elec-

tronic module 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.

Cleaning water must not get into the

drain hole.

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 fault.

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

- the shelves

- the telescopic runners on the shelves

- the cool packs.

 These accessories should all be hand

washed.

The ice cube tray is dishwasher-safe.

 Risk of damage as a result of ex-

cessively high dishwasher temperat-

ures.

Parts of the refrigeration appliance

may become unusable, e.g. deform,

if they are washed in the dishwasher

at more than 55°C.

For dishwasher-safe parts, only use

dishwasher programmes with a max-

imum temperature of 55°C.

Contact with natural dyes from car-

rots, tomatoes and ketchup, etc., may

discolour the plastic parts in the dish-

washer. This discolouration does not

affect the stability of the parts.

 Wipe the telescopic runners with a

well-wrung out damp cloth to clean

them.

Be careful not to wash out the spe-

cial lubricant in the telescopic run-

ners during cleaning.

 Leave the door open to air the appli-

ance for a short while and to prevent

odours building up.

Cleaning and care

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).

After cleaning

 Slide all shelves back into the appli-

ance.

 Close the appliance door.

 Reconnect to the mains and switch

the appliance back on.

 Switch on the Super freeze function

so that the freezer can cool down

quickly.

Problem Cause and remedy

The compressor runs

continuously.

This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor

runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less

cooling is required.

The compressor is

switching on more fre-

quently and for longer

periods of time. The

temperature in the refri-

geration appliance is

too low.

The ventilation gaps in the housing unit have been

covered or become too dusty.

 Do not block the ventilation gaps.

 Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.

The appliance door has been opened too frequently,

or a large amount of fresh food has been placed in-

side or frozen at the same time.

 Only open the appliance door when necessary and

for as short a time as possible.

After a while, the temperature will return to normal by

itself.

The appliance door is not properly closed.

A thick layer of ice may have formed in the freezer

zone.

 Close the appliance door.

After a while, the temperature will return to normal by

itself.

 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.

Problem solving guide

The interior lighting is not working.

Problem Cause and remedy

The interior lighting is

not working.

The refrigeration appliance has not been switched

on.

 Switch the refrigeration appliance on.

To avoid overheating, the lighting switches itself off

automatically after approx. 15minutes if the appli-

ance door is left open. If this is not the case, then

there is a fault.

 Risk of electric shock due to exposed, live

electrical components.

When removing the lighting cover, there is a risk of

coming into contact with live electrical compon-

ents.

Do not remove the lighting cover. The LED lighting

may only be repaired or replaced by the Miele

Customer Service Department.

 Risk of injury from LED lighting.

This lighting corresponds to risk group RG2. If the

cover is defective, there is a risk of eye injury.

If the lighting cover is defective, do not look from a

close range directly into the lighting with optical in-

struments (e.g. magnifying glass or similar).

 Call the Miele Customer Service Department.

Problem solving guide

Other problems

Problem Cause and remedy

The door to the freezer

will not open because it

has been opened and

closed too many times

in succession.

This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening

and closing the door is preventing the door from

opening. Wait approx. 1minute and then try again.

It should now open without force.

Food has frozen to-

gether.

The food packaging was not dry when placed in the

freezer.

 Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or

plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.

There is no audible

alarm although the door

has been open for a

long time.

This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been

switched off in settings mode (see “Selecting fur-

ther settings – Audible signals”).

The  symbol lights up

in the display. You can-

not switch the appli-

ance off.

The safety lock has been activated.

 Completely deactivate the safety lock (see “Select-

ing further settings – Activating and deactivating

the safety lock”).

The external walls of

the appliance feel

warm.

This is not a fault. The heat created by the evapor-

ator is used to prevent condensation.

Noises

Normal

noises

What causes them

Brrrrr ... A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This noise

can get louder for brief periods when the motor switches on.

Blubb,

blubb ...

A gurgling noise can be heard when coolant is circulating

through the pipes.

Click ... Clicking sounds are made when the thermostat switches the

motor on and off.

Sssrrrrr ... You can sometimes just hear the sound of the fan inside the ap-

pliance.

Crack ... A cracking sound can be heard when materials expand inside

the appliance.

Remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the

system is unavoidable.

Noises Cause and remedy

Rattling, vi-

brating

The appliance is uneven. Realign the appliance using a spirit

level. Do so by raising or lowering the screw feet underneath the

appliance or place something underneath it.

The appliance is touching another appliance or piece of fur-

niture. Move it away.

Drawers or shelves are unstable or sticking. Check all removable

items and refit them correctly.

Bottles or containers are touching each other. Separate them.

The transport cable clips are hanging loose at the back of the

appliance. Remove them.

Installation

Side-by-side

FNS 35402 i and FNS 37402 i freezers

have two foamed in side-wall heaters

enabling them to be installed side-by-

side with other appliances. Each appli-

ance must be installed in its own niche.

Your dealer will be able to advise you

on which combination of models is

possible.

Location

 Danger of damage and injury

due to the refrigeration appliance tip-

ping over.

This refrigeration appliance must be

built in, otherwise it could tip over.

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.

 Fire risk and risk of damage from

appliances which give off heat.

Appliances which give off heat can

catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-

tion appliance.

This refrigeration appliance must not

be installed underneath a hob.

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 is.

When installing the refrigeration appli-

ance, please note:

- 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 this refrigeration appliance.

 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

*INSTALLATION*

Climate range

The appliance is designed for use within

a certain climate range (ambient tem-

perature) and should not be used out-

side this range.

Operating in a room which is too cold

will cause the compressor to switch off

for too long, causing the temperature

inside the appliance to rise with the risk

of food deteriorating and going off.

The climate range is stated on the data

plate inside 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

A freezer from the SN climate range

can operate without any difficulties in

rooms with a cooler ambient temper-

ature (down to +5°C).

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.

They must also be regularly dusted.

Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-

ance gets warm. The appliance housing

unit must therefore be constructed to

allow sufficient space for ventilation

(see “Installation dimensions”):

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

- Air intake occurs via the plinth  at

the bottom of the appliance and the

air escapes at the top  at the back

of the housing unit.

- A ventilation gap of at least 40mm

depth must be allowed behind the re-

frigeration appliance for air to circu-

late.

- The ventilation cross-sections in the

plinth, housing unit and above the

appliance must each provide an un-

obstructed airflow of at least 200cm²

to ensure that warm air can circulate

without hindrance.

If ventilation grilles are to be inserted

into the ventilation gaps, the ventila-

tion gaps must be larger than

200cm². The unobstructed airflow of

200cm² is calculated by adding up

the total area of ventilation openings

in the grilles.

- Important. The larger the ventilation

gaps, the less energy the refrigeration

appliance will use.

The ventilation gaps must not be

covered or blocked in any way. They

must also be regularly dusted.

Top ventilation gap

The ventilation gap at the top of the ap-

pliance can be constructed in different

ways:

directly above the appliance with a

ventilation grille (free airflow of at

least 200cm²)

between the kitchen furniture and

the ceiling

in a suspended ceiling

Furniture door panel

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen fur-

niture, the thickness and edge radius of

the furniture door panel and the gap

that runs around the door, vertically and

horizontally, are specified.

It is essential to pay attention to the

following:

- Horizontal gap

The gap between the furniture door

panel and the housing unit door above

or below it must be at least 3mm.

- Vertical gap

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

If the gap between the refrigeration

appliance furniture door panel and

the adjoining housing unit door or

wall on the hinged side is too small,

the appliance door could collide with

the adjoining housing unit door or

wall when opened.

It may be necessary to adjust the

size of this gap to suit the thickness

and edge radius of the appliance fur-

niture door.

This must be taken into consideration

when planning your kitchen and when

replacing an old refrigeration appliance

with a new one to ensure the installation

conditions required are met.

Weight of the furniture door

 If the furniture door panel is too

heavy, this can cause damage.

Fitting a furniture door panel which is

heavier than the maximum permitted

weight could damage the hinges.

This can cause subsequent func-

tional problems.

Before fitting a furniture door, ensure

that the weight of the door does not ex-

ceed the maximum permitted.

Before installing the appliance

 Take the accessory pack which in-

cludes installation parts and other ac-

cessories out of the appliance and re-

move the packaging strap holding the

door in place.

 Do not remove the following from

the back of the appliance:

- The spacers (depending on model)

These ensure the gap required

between the back of the appliance

and the wall is maintained.

- The bags (depending on model) loc-

ated inside the metal grille (heat ex-

changer).

These are important for the correct

functioning of the appliance. Their

contents are non-toxic and are not

dangerous.

 Remove the cable clip from the back

of the appliance.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

 Open the appliance door and remove

the red safety catch  (depending on

model).

Does your old appliance have a dif-

ferent hinging mechanism?

If your old appliance had a different

type of hinging, the furniture door can

still be used. Remove the old hinges

from the housing unit. They are no

longer required because the furniture

door is now fitted to the appliance door.

All the necessary parts are supplied or

can be ordered from Miele.

Stainless steel front

(depending on model)

If your old appliance had different

hinging and you cannot, or do not wish

to use your old door, you can use a

stainless steel front instead.

Limiting the opening angle of

the appliance door

The door hinges are set ex works to en-

able the appliance door to be opened

wide.

However if the opening angle of the ap-

pliance door needs to be limited for any

reason, the hinge can be adjusted to

accommodate this.

If the appliance door hits an adjacent

wall when opened, for example, the

opening angle can be limited toapprox.

90°:

The locking pins for limiting the door

opening must be fitted before the refri-

geration appliance is installed.

 Insert the locking pins supplied for

limiting the door opening into the

hinges from above.

The appliance door opening angle is

now limited to approx. 90°.

Changing the door hinging

If the model number for your refrigera-

tion appliance does not include the let-

ter “S”, it is supplied with hinges on the

right. If left-hand hinging is required, the

hinges must be changed.

If the model number for your refrigera-

tion appliance includes the letter “S”, it

is supplied with hinges on the left.

Do not change the hinging if this appli-

ance is going to be installed side by

side with a refrigerator. The freezer must

be installed to the left of the refrigerator

in a separate building-in niche.

If right-hand hinging is required, the

hinges can be changed.

 Always change the door hinging

with the assistance of another per-

son.

If the door seal is damaged or has

slipped out of its groove, the appli-

ance door may not close properly

and cooling performance will be re-

duced. Condensate will build up in

the interior cabinet and this can

cause a build-up of ice.

Do not damage the door seal and

ensure it does not slip out of its

groove.

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a mains

cable and moulded plug ready for con-

nection to an AC single-phase 220–

240V50Hz supply.

The fuse rating must be at least 10A.

This appliance must be connected to a

suitable switched socket. The electrical

installation must be in compliance with

current local and national safety regula-

tions, (e.g. VDE0100 in Germany / BS

7671 in the UK). We recommend the

use of a suitable RCD .

The socket must not be concealed be-

hind the appliance and must be easily

accessible so that the appliance can be

quickly disconnected from the electrical

supply in case of an emergency.

If the socket is no longer accessible

after installation, an additional means of

disconnection must be provided for all

poles. Suitable means of disconnection

include switches with an all-pole con-

tact gap of at least 3mm. These in-

clude miniature circuit breakers, fuses

and contactors (EN60335).

The mains plug and mains connection

cable must not come into contact with

the back of the appliance as vibrations

can cause damage to these compon-

ents. This could result in a short circuit.

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 a

stand-alone inverter such as those used

with an autonomous energy source e.g.

solar power.

When the appliance is switched on,

power surges could result in a safety

switch-off. This could damage the elec-

tronic module. The appliance must not

be used with so-called energy saving

devices either. These reduce the

amount of energy supplied to the appli-

ance, causing it to overheat.

If the mains cable needs to be replaced,

this must be performed by a qualified

electrician.
