–catering and similar non-retail applications.

This appliance is not intended for use outdoors, in damp environ-

ments or in places exposed to rain.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 This appliance is intended for domestic use only for cooling and

storing food and drink as well as for storing deep frozen food, freez-

ing fresh food and for making ice. Any other usage is not supported

by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping

cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations, or other simi-

lar substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Di-

rective. 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 resulting from incorrect or

improper use or operation.

 This refrigeration appliance may only be used by people (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or

lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised while using

it.

The refrigeration appliance may only be used by these people with-

out supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way

and recognize and understand the consequences of incorrect opera-

tion.

Safety with children

 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the appliance.

 Children ages eight and up may only use the appliance even with-

out supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe man-

ner, and if they are able to recognize and understand the potential

risks of improper use.

 Children must not clean or service the appliance unless they are

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Ensure that any packing material is disposed of safely and kept

out of the reach of children. DANGER of suffocation!

Technical safety

 The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration

appliance complies with statutory and regulatory requirements.

 The symbol is located on the compressor and indicates the dan-

ger of inflammable materials. Do not remove the label.

WARNING! This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobu-

tane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly, but

flammable. Although it is combustible, it does not damage the ozone

layer and does not contribute to the greenhouse 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 compres-

sor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the cooling

circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect

the performance of the refrigeration appliance.

WARNING! When transporting and installing the refrigeration appli-

ance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged.

Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes.

In the event of damage:

- Avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark.

- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply.

- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for

several minutes.

- Contact Miele Customer Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 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.

 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 the appliance can only be guaranteed

when correctly grounded. 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.

 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-

ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with

the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is

possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-

tem complies with national and local codes.

The function and operation of the protective measures provided in

the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must

also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not

synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be

replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.

 If the power cord supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced

by an original part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only

guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are

used.

 Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power

bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee

the required safety of the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord,

it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the machine

in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g.,

garages, laundry rooms).

 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile in-

stallations (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 machine must be disconnected from the power supply during

installation, maintenance, and repair work, and installation work on

the fresh water connection. The machine is only completely isolated

from the power supply when:

- the fuses have been switched off, or

- the circuit breaker has been removed completely, or

- the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on

the power cord when disconnecting it from the power supply.

 Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs, or a faulty

fresh water connection can cause considerable danger for the user.

Installation, maintenance, and repairs, installation work on the fresh

water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only

ever be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

 The ice cube maker must only be connected to a cold water line.

 Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty con-

nection to the fresh water supply.

 Any manufacturer's warranty may be void if the appliance is not

repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele re-

placement 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 bulb to cope

with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical re-

sistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This bulb must only be

used for the purpose for which it is intended. The bulb is not suitable

for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be installed by an au-

thorized technician or by Miele Customer Service.

Proper installation

 When installing the refrigeration appliance, it is a mandatory re-

quirement to follow the installation instructions supplied with it.

 Two people are required to install the appliance.

 Change the door hinging (if necessary) as described in these in-

stallation instructions.

 Only install the refrigeration appliance in a solid, rectangular, and

level housing unit, positioned on an even and level floor.

Correct use

 This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-

bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient tempera-

tures 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.

 WARNING! DANGER of overheating! Do not cover or block the air

vents. This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the

power consumption and cause damage to the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance,

make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic compo-

nents as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store any explosive materials or

products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the

appliance. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of

gases to ignite.

 WARNING! Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equip-

ment (e.g., an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appli-

ance. Risk of sparking and explosion.

 Risk of injury and damage. Do not store cans or bottles containing

carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer sec-

tion. Otherwise they could burst.

 Risk of injury and damage. When chilling drinks in the freezer sec-

tion, make sure that bottles are not left in for more than one hour.

Otherwise they could burst.

 Risk 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.

 Risk of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and

never place ice cubes or ice pops in your mouth straight from the

freezer section. 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 de-

frosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value

and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be refrozen af-

ter it has been cooked.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 When eating stored food, there is a danger 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. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage in-

structions.

Accessories and parts

 Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from

other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a mini-

mum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of

your refrigeration appliance.

Cleaning and maintenance

 Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.

They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.

 WARNING! DANGER of injury and damage!

Do not use any mechanical or other types of aids which are not rec-

ommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting

process.

 Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

The steam can reach the 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 or ice,

- separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

 Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost

it. These can damage the plastic parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 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

 To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and

in its packaging.

 Risk of injury and damage. The refrigeration appliance is very

heavy and must be transported by two people.

Disposal of your old appliance

 DANGER. Risk of child entrapment!

Children could become trapped in the machine and could suffocate.

- Remove the machine doors.

- Remove the drawers.

- Leave the adjustable shelves in the machine so children cannot

easily climb inside.

 DANGER of electric shock!

- Cut the plug off the power cord.

- Cut the power cord off the old appliance.

 Dispose of them separately from the appliance.

 Ensure that the appliance is not stored in the vicinity of gasoline or

inflammable gases and liquids during and after disposal.

 WARNING! Make sure that the coolant pipework is not damaged

during disposal to avoid uncontrolled leakage of oil and coolant (see

data plate for coolant type).

 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Splashes of coolant can cause damage to the eyes. Be careful not

to damage any part of the pipework while awaiting disposal, e.g. by

- puncturing the coolant channels in the evaporator,

- kinking any pipework,

- 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 pene-

trates the airways.

Symbol on the rear of the appliance (depending on model)

This label or a similar one is only relevant for recycling. Do not remove the lable.

 This information refers to the foamed-in panels in the door and/or

the housing.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of packaging material

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.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of children. Return

the packaging to your dealer.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic 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 household trash or if

handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with household trash.

Follow the local regulations or the dis-

posal of appliances. Instead, please

make use of officially designated collec-

tion and disposal points to dispose of

and recycle electrical and electronic ap-

pliances. By law, you are solely respon-

sible 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 authorized 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.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Installation location

 WARNING! Risk of damage and

injury due to the refrigeration appli-

ance tipping over.

This refrigeration appliance is very

heavy and can tip forward when the

door is open.

Keep the appliance door(s) closed

until the refrigeration appliance has

been built in. The refrigeration appli-

ance must be secured in its building-

in niche in accordance with the oper-

ating and installation instructions.

 Fire hazard and risk of damage

from appliances that give off heat.

Appliances that give off heat can

catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-

tion appliance.

This refrigeration appliance must not

be installed underneath a cooktop.

 Fire hazard and risk of damage

from open flames.

Open flames can set fire to the refrig-

eration appliance.

Keep open flames (such as a candle)

away from the refrigeration appli-

ance.

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 range, or an-

other appliance that gives off heat.

Avoid direct sunlight.

The higher the ambient temperature,

the longer the compressor runs and the

higher the energy consumption is.

When installing the appliance, please

note:

- IMPORTANT! The power plug must

be easily accessible so that the appli-

ance can be disconnected from the

mains quickly in an emergency. It

must not be behind the back of the

appliance.

- The plug and power cord must not

touch the back of the appliance as

they could be damaged by vibrations

from the appliance.

- Do not plug other appliances into

electrical outlets behind this appli-

ance.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

 Risk of damage due to high hu-

midity.

In environments with high humidity,

condensation can build up on exter-

nal refrigeration-appliance panels.

This condensate can cause corrosion

on external appliance panels.

Install the refrigeration appliance in a

dry and/or air-conditioned room with

sufficient ventilation.

After installation please make sure

that the appliance door(s) closes

(close) properly and the refrigeration

appliance is installed in accordance

with these installation instructions.

The specified ventilation specifica-

tions must be observed.

Side-by-side combinations

 Risk of damage due to conden-

sation on external appliance panels.

In environments with high humidity,

condensation can build up on exter-

nal appliance panels, which can

cause corrosion.

Do not place different refrigeration

appliances directly next to or on top

of one other.

Exception: your refrigeration appliance

can be installed next to another refriger-

ation appliance with an integrated heat-

ing unit if each appliance is built into a

separate niche. Please contact your

dealer for specific information about

which combinations will work with your

refrigeration appliance.

Climate class

This refrigeration appliance is designed

for use within specific ambient temper-

atures (climate range). Do not use in

ambient temperatures for which it is not

designed. The climate range is stated

on the data plate in the interior cabinet

of the refrigeration appliance.

Climate class Ambient temper-

ature

SN 50 to 90°F/

+10 to +32°C

N 60 to 90°F/

+16 to +32°C

ST 60 to 100°F/

+16to +38°C

T 60 to 109°F/

+16to +43°C

A lower ambient temperature leads to

the compressor switching off for longer

periods. This can cause the internal

temperature in the refrigeration appli-

ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-

orating and going off.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Ventilation

 WARNING! Fire hazard and risk

of damage due to insufficient ventila-

tion.

If the refrigeration appliance is not

ventilated sufficiently, the compres-

sor will run more frequently and for

longer periods. This causes in-

creased energy consumption and an

increased compressor operating

temperature, which can result in

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 never be

obstructed.

They must also be cleaned on a reg-

ular basis to remove dust.

There must be a gap of at least

½inch (13mm) between the back of

the appliance and the rear wall. If this

gap is not maintained, this will result

in increased energy consumption.

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” and the

installation instructions provided).

- To ensure ventilation an air channel of

a minimum 1 1/2" (40mm) depth

must be provided at the back of the

appliance.

- The ventilation slits in the toe-kick, in

the cabinet and under the top of the

cabinet must provide a total

passage volume of at least 31"²

(200cm

) to allow the warm air to

dissipate unimpeded.

- If you wish to fit a grille in the ventila-

tion openings, the ventilation open-

ings must be larger than 31"²

(200cm

). The passage volume of

31"² (200cm

) is the total area of the

opening slits in the grille.

- Important! The larger the ventilation

slits, the more economically the ap-

pliance will work.

Lower ventilation slit

The appliance can be ventilated via the

cabinet plinth with the ventilation grille

supplied or with a minimum ventilation

opening of 31 in

cross-section area.

When using the grille supplied, please

proceed as follows:

 Cut an opening in plinth as shown

in the diagram.

 Place ventilation grille in the open-

ing.

 Push snap fasteners into the venti-

lation grille from behind until the

hooks touch the plinth.

 Reinstall the plinth with the ventilation

grille.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Cabinet doors

An upper cabinet door for the refrigera-

tor section and a lower cabinet door for

the freezer section are required.

The cabinet doors must be at least

5/8“ (16mm) / 3/4” (19mm) thick.

–Weight of the door panel

 If the door panel is too heavy

damage can occur.

Installing a door panel which is heav-

ier than the maximum permitted

weight could damage the hinges.

This can cause subsequent func-

tional problems.

Before installing the door panel, en-

sure that the weight of the door

panel does not exceed the maximum

permitted weight.

The maximum permissible weights of

the door panels in lb (kg) are:

Appliance Upper

Lower

door

panel

KFN(S) 7795 D 39.7 (18) 26.5 (12)

Calculation of cabinet door size

The width of the cabinet door de-

pends on the style of the kitchen and

the gap between the unit door panels.

When calculating the height of the

cabinet door, remember that the top

edge of the door must be at the same

height as that of the doors of the adja-

cent units.

The cabinet door must be fitted cor-

rectly and not under tension.

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen cabi-

netry, the thickness and edge radius of

the custom door panel and the gap that

runs around the door, vertically and hor-

izontally, are specified.

It is essential to pay attention to the

following:

- Horizontal gap

The gap between the door panel and

the housing-unit door above or below it

must be at least 1/8" (3mm).

- Vertical gap

If the gap between the refrigeration-

appliance door panel and the adjoin-

ing housing-unit door or wall on the

hinged side is too small, the appli-

ance door could collide with the ad-

joining 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 door panel.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

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.

trician.

Temporary or permanent operation on

an autonomous power supply system or

a power supply system that is not syn-

chronized with the grid power supply

(e.g., island networks, back-up sys-

tems) is possible. A prerequisite for op-

eration is that the power supply system

complies with the specifications of

EN50160 or an equivalent standard.

The function and operation of the pro-

tective measures provided in the do-

mestic electrical installation and in this

Miele product must also be maintained

in isolated operation or in operation that

is not synchronized with the grid power

supply, or these measures must be re-

placed by equivalent measures in the

installation. As described, for example,

in the current version of VDE-AR-E

2510-2.

bient temperatures and consumes more energy in the process.

Therefore, you should:

- Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room.

- Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source

(heater element, range).

- Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.

- Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 68°F (20°C).

- Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any

dust.

Temperature

setting

The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.

The following settings are recommended:

- 39 to 41°F (4 to 5°C) in the refrigerator section.

- PerfectFresh Active zone just above 32°F (0°C).

- 0°F (-18°C) in the freezer section.

Use Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air

circulation. Therefore, you should:

- Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as

short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that

makes it easy to find in the appliance.

- Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening

them.

- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in

the refrigeration appliance.

- Store food well packaged or covered.

- Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.

- Place frozen food in the refrigerator section to defrost.

- Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the

two instructions if you are switching

the refrigerator section off for a longer

period of time.

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct

temperature to ensure the shelf life of

food. Reducing the temperature re-

duces the growth rate of microorgan-

isms. Food does not spoil as quickly.

The temperature in the appliance will

rise:

- the more often the appliance door is

opened and the longer it is kept open

- the more food that is stored in it

- the warmer the food is that is being

put into it

- the higher the ambient temperature

surrounding the refrigeration appli-

ance is. 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.

...in the freezer section

To freeze fresh food, a temperature of

0°F (-18°C) is required. This will prolong

the storage life of your food and retain

its quality.

As soon as the temperature rises above

14°F (-10°C), the bacteria become ac-

tive 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 (boiled or roasted), as

the high temperatures achieved when

cooking destroy most bacteria.

The correct temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation, the temperature

display shows the current average

refrigerator section temperature and

the maximum freezer section tem-

perature.

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 on the display.

Setting the temperature in the

refrigerator/freezer sections

 Touch the temperature display for the

section you want to change.

 Swipe left or right until the tempera-

ture you want is shown in the middle.

 Tap on the temperature you want to

confirm.

The temperature display will then

change back to the current refrigerator

and freezer temperature in the refrigera-

tion appliance.

Possible temperature settings

- Refrigerator section: 37 to 48°F

(3to9°C)

- Freezer section: 5 to 15°F

(-15to-26°C)

Adjusting the PerfectFresh Active

zone temperature

The temperature in the PerfectFresh Ac-

tive zone is automatically maintained

between 32and37°F (0and3°C).

However, if you would like it to be

warmer or colder, e.g., when storing

fish, you can adjust the temperature

slightly in increments.

 Tap.

 Swipe left or right until is shown in

the middle.

 Tap.

 Swipe left or right until the setting you

want (1: lowest temperature; 9: high-

est temperature) is shown in the mid-

dle.

 Tap on the setting you want to con-

firm.

The default setting for the tempera-

ture is5.

Under certain circumstances, a set-

ting from1 to4 can cause negative

temperatures to be reached. This can

cause food to freeze.

Check the temperature setting.

The correct temperature

If you change the temperature set-

ting:

 Check the temperature display after a

few hours. It will take this long for an

accurate reading to be given.

- Wait for approx.6hours if the refrig-

eration appliance is not very full.

- Wait for approx.24hours if the refrig-

eration appliance is full.

If, after this time, the temperature is still

too high or too low:

 Adjust the temperature again.

Using Automatic SuperCool and SuperFreeze

Automatic SuperCool

When switched on, the Automatic Su-

perCool function can be used to

rapidly reduce the temperature in the

refrigerator section to its lowest set-

ting (depending on the ambient tem-

perature). The refrigeration appliance

will work at full power and lower the

temperature. Select this function for

the rapid chilling of large amounts of

fresh food or drink.

When the Automatic SuperCool func-

tion is switched on, the appliance

may make more noise than usual.

SuperFreeze

When switched on, the SuperFreeze

function can be used to rapidly re-

duce the temperature in the freezer

section to its lowest setting (depend-

ing on the ambient temperature). The

refrigeration appliance will work at full

power and lower the temperature. Se-

lect this function before freezing fresh

food. Fresh food will be frozen quickly,

so that the nutritional value, vitamin

content, appearance, and taste are

maintained.

When the SuperFreeze function is

switched on, the appliance may make

more noise than usual.

SuperFreeze should be switched on

approx. 6hours before placing food

in the freezer section.

When freezing the maximum amount

of food, the SuperFreeze function

should be switched on 24hours be-

forehand.

The SuperFreeze function will

switch itself off automatically after a

useful when you go on vacation, for

example, if you do not wish to switch

off the refrigerator section completely

or do not need a high degree of cool-

ing.

If Vacation mode is switched on, this

will be indicated on the status display. It

can be switched off via the status dis-

play or Settings mode.

The refrigerator section is regulated at a

temperature of 59°F (15°C), which auto-

matically sets the temperature in the

PerfectFresh Active zone to between

48and53°F (9and12°C). The refrigera-

tor section remains in operation while

saving energy.

The freezer section remains switched

on at the previously set temperature.

Food which does not go off quickly

can be stored in the refrigeration ap-

pliance for some time at this moderate

refrigerator temperature. Energy con-

sumption is lower than in normal oper-

ation.

This also prevents the build-up of

odors and bacteria which can occur if

the refrigerator section is switched off

and the appliance door is closed.

Temperature and door alarm

 Health risk caused by decom-

posing food.

If the temperature in the freezer re-

mains above 0°F (-18°C) for a long

time, the frozen food may start to de-

frost. This will reduce the storage life

of the food.

Check whether the frozen food has

started to defrost. If it has, use the

food as soon as possible or cook it

before freezing it again.

Temperature alarm

The refrigeration appliance has been

equipped with a warning system so

that the temperature in the freezer

section cannot rise unnoticed.

If the temperature in the freezer section

becomes too warm,



will light up red

in the freezer-section temperature dis-

play.

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 recognizes as being too warm.

The audible and visual signals may be

activated in the following situations:

- You switch on the refrigeration ap-

pliance and the temperature in a

temperature zone differs greatly

from the set temperature.

- A lot of warm room air enters the

freezer section when you are rear-

ranging or taking out frozen food.

- You are freezing large amounts of

food at once.

- You are freezing warm food.

- There was a power failure.

- The refrigeration appliance has a

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Do not load more than a maximum of

35lb (16kg) of food in the appliance

door.

 Risk of fire from electrical appli-

ances.

Operating electrical devices in the

appliance can cause sparks to form.

Do not operate any electrical devices

inside the appliance.

 Risk of explosion due to

flammable mixes of gases.

Electrical components can cause

flammable mixes of gases to ignite.

Do not store any explosive materials

or products containing flammable

propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the

appliance. The spray cans in ques-

tion can be identified by the contents

printed on the can or by a flame

symbol. Electrical components can

cause escaping gases to ignite.

 Risk of damage due to greasy or

oily foods.

If storing food which contains a lot of

fat or oil in the refrigeration 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.

Make sure that no fat or oil leaks

onto the plastic parts of the refrigera-

tion appliance.

If there is insufficient air circulation,

the cooling performance will de-

crease and energy consumption will

increase.

To allow air to circulate efficiently, do

not pack food too closely together in

the appliance.

Do not cover the fan in the rear wall

of the appliance.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are

different temperature zones in the re-

frigerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-

tion of the refrigeration section. Make

use of the different zones when placing

food in the appliance.

This appliance has DynamicCooling,

which helps to keep an even tempera-

ture when the fan is running. When

DynamicCooling is turned on, the dif-

ference between the various zones is

less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigerator

section is in the top section of the door.

Use this for storing butter so that it re-

mains spreadable and cheese so that it

retains its flavor.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-

tion is directly above the PerfectFresh

Active zone dividing plate and at the

back of the appliance. The temperature

in the PerfectFresh Active zone com-

partments is even colder.

Use these areas in the refrigerator sec-

tion and in the PerfectFresh Active zone

for all delicate and highly perishable

food, e.g.,:

- fish, meat, poultry

- cold cuts, ready-made meals

- dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream

- fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza

dough, or pie dough

- raw-milk cheese and other raw-milk

products

- pre-packed vegetables

- other fresh food (with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of

approx. 39°F [4°C])

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Food which is not suitable for

storage in the fridge zone

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration

at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) be-

cause it is sensitive to cold.

Foods which are sensitive to cold in-

clude:

- pineapples, avocados, bananas,

pomegranates, mangoes, melons,

papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits

such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,

grapefruits

- fruit (which is not yet ripe)

- eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, pep-

pers, tomatoes, zucchini

- hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)

Notes on buying food

The freshness of the food when it is first

placed in the appliance is the most im-

portant factor for how long it stays

fresh.

Take into account the use-by date and

the correct storage temperature.

Time out of the fridge, e.g., transporting

food in a warm car, should be kept to a

minimum.

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the refrigera-

tor section is in packaging or covered

properly (some exceptions apply in the

PerfectFresh Active zone). This will pre-

vent food odors from affecting other

food, stop food from drying out, and

also prevent any cross-contamination

of bacteria. This is particularly important

when storing meat products. Make sure

that food such as raw meat and fish in

particular does not come into contact

with other food.

By ensuring that the temperature set-

tings are correct and by taking appro-

priate hygiene measures, you can pro-

long the storage life of your food con-

siderably. This prevents food waste.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

PerfectFresh Active zone

The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies

the requirements of a chill compart-

ment to DINEN62552:2020.

The PerfectFresh Active zone provides

ideal storage conditions for fruit, veg-

etables, fish, meat, and dairy products.

Food stays fresh considerably longer

while retaining both flavor and vitamins.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh Ac-

tive zone is controlled automatically and

maintained at 32to37°F (0to3°C).

While lower than the temperature in a

standard refrigerator section, this is the

optimum temperature range for storing

fresh food which is not sensitive to

cold.

The humidity level in the PerfectFresh

Active zone can also be regulated to

suit the food being stored. If the humidi-

fier is switched on, water vapor is

supplied to the stored fruit and vegeta-

bles. The humidifier switches on ap-

proximately every 90minutes and each

time the appliance door is opened.

Food retains its own moisture if stored

at a higher humidity and so does not

dry out as quickly.

Remember that the fresher the food

when it is placed in the appliance, the

longer it will stay fresh.

Take food out of the PerfectFresh Ac-

tive zone approx.30to60minutes be-

fore using it. The aroma and taste do

not fully develop until the food has

reached room temperature.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

Humidifier

When the humidifier is switched on,

water vapor is supplied to the fruit and

vegetables stored in the humidity-con-

trolled compartment each time the ap-

pliance door is opened and approxi-

mately every 90minutes. The water

vapor provides additional humidity in

the humidity-controlled compartment.

The humidifier and its water container

are located in the dividing plate be-

tween the refrigerator section and Per-

fectFresh Active zone.

Check and pay attention to the follow-

ing before switching the humidifier on

(see “Selecting additional settings”):

- The water container must have been

cleaned, filled with water, and in-

serted securely.

- The lid for the humidity-controlled

compartment must be closed

(setting).

The water in the water container

should last for approx. 4months.

The water container will only need to

be refilled if the humidifier is no longer

producing any water vapor.

 Risk of damage due to incor-

rectly filled water container.

Liquids containing sugar can dam-

age the humidifier.

Use only fresh drinking water to fill

the water container.

 Risk to health due to contami-

nated water.

Using contaminated water can lead

to poisoning.

Use only fresh drinking water to fill

the water container.

 Risk to health due to contami-

nated water.

Bacteria can develop in water which

has been sitting in the water con-

tainer for too long. This poses a risk

to your health.

Clean the water container for the hu-

midifier and fill it with fresh drinking

water if the refrigeration appliance,

the refrigerator section, or the humid-

ifier has been switched off for an ex-

tended period of time (more than

2days).

Clean the water container for the hu-

midifier and fill it with fresh drinking

Dry compartment

|

The lower dry compartment has a

temperature of 32to 37°F (0to 3°C)

and the humidity is not increased.

The dry compartment is suitable for

storing perishable foods such as:

- fresh fish and shellfish

- meat, poultry, and sausage

- deli salads

- dairy products such as yogurt,

cheese, cream, etc.

- Any type of food can in fact be stored

in this compartment, as long as it is

packaged.

Please note that foods rich in protein

deteriorate faster than others.

Shellfish, for example, deteriorates

faster than fish, and fish deteriorates

faster than meat.

Always keep these foods covered or

wrapped.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep

well (e.g., food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):

 Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is cru-

cial to maintaining freshness.

 Clean the compartments in the PerfectFresh Active zone before storing food in

them.

 Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.

 Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see

“Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage

in the refrigerator section”).

 Select the correct PerfectFresh Active compartment for the food as well as the

correct position for the compartment lid (low humidity or humidity in-

creased).

 An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is

achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if the food is stored

unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.

 Do not overfill the compartments.

 If you find that too much condensate has formed when using the setting and

this is affecting the food:

- Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.

- Place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can

drain away.

- Open the compartment lid by moving it to the low humidity position and

switch the humidifier off.

 If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight

packaging.

 If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is too high or

too low, try regulating it slightly first by changing the temperature in the refrigera-

tor section by 1or2°F. If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the Perfect-

Fresh Active compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold

temperature will damage the food.

 If adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator section does not remedy the prob-

lem, adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “The correct

temperature”).

Freezing and storing food

Always observe USDA food safety

guidelines.

 Risk of fire from electrical appli-

ances.

Operating electrical devices in the

appliance can cause sparks to form.

Do not operate any electrical devices

inside the appliance.

What happens when you freeze

fresh food?

 Health risk caused by decom-

posing food.

If the temperature in the freezer re-

mains above 0°F (-18°C) for a long

time, the frozen food may start to de-

frost. This will reduce the storage life

of the food.

Check whether the frozen food has

started to defrost. If it has, use the

food as soon as possible or cook it

before freezing it again.

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly

as possible so that the nutritional value

of the food, its vitamin content, appear-

ance, and flavor are maintained.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have

less time to lose moisture, so they

shrink significantly less. As there is not

so much moisture loss, it is easier for

the food to reabsorb it during the de-

frosting process, and very little water

collects around the defrosted 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 exceeded. The maximum freez-

ing capacity for freezing within a 24-

hour period is given on the data plate:

“Freezing capacity...lbs/24hrs”.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in

your freezer, make sure to check:

- that the packaging is not damaged

- the expiration date

- that the temperature at which the

frozen food is being stored in the

shop is 0°F (-18°C) or colder

 Where possible, transport frozen food

in an insulated bag and then store it

quickly in the refrigeration appliance.

Freezing and storing food

Home freezing

Before placing food in the freezer

 When freezing more than 4.4 lb (2kg)

of fresh food, switch on the Super-

Freeze function for 6hours before

placing the food in the freezer.

 When freezing even larger amounts of

food, switch on the SuperFreeze

function for 24hours before plac-

ing the food in the freezer.

This helps frozen food which is already

stored in the freezer to stay frozen.

 Only freeze food that is fresh and in

good condition.

Please note that some food is not suit-

able for freezing. These include, for

example, vegetables that are usually

eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.

Tip: To retain color, taste, aroma, and

vitamin C, vegetables should be

blanched before they are frozen. To do

so, place them portion by portion into

boiling water for 2–3minutes. Then, re-

move and plunge the vegetables into

ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave

the vegetables to drain.

Packaging food for freezing

 Freeze food in portions.

Tip: Use suitable packaging to avoid

freezer burn (such as freezer contain-

ers).

 Expel as much air as possible from

the packaging and close it tightly.

 Label the packaging with the con-

tents and the date of freezing.

Placing food in the freezer

 Risk of damage due to heavy

loads.

Loading food which is too heavy can

cause damage to the freezer draw-

ers/glass shelves.

Do not exceed the relevant maximum

load:

Freezer drawer = 26Ib (12kg)

Glass shelf = 77lb (35kg)

Unfrozen food should not touch

frozen food as this will cause the

frozen food to begin to thaw.

 To prevent food sticking together

when frozen, make sure that the

packaging and containers are dry.

To ensure that food freezes through to

the core quickly, do not exceed the

following packaging and container

sizes:

- fruit and vegetables:

max. 2.2lb (1kg)

- meat: max. 5.5lb (2.5kg)

Freezing and storing food

–Freezing small amounts of food

Place the food in the upper freezer

drawers.

 Place the food flat in the bottom of

the upper freezer drawers so that it

freezes through to the core as quickly

as possible.

–Freezing the maximum amount of

food (see data plate)

If the ventilation slots are obstructed,

the cooling performance will de-

crease and energy consumption will

increase.

When placing food in the freezer,

make sure that the ventilation slots

are not blocked.

Tip: You can expand the space avail-

able in the freezer section. If you wish to

freeze large items, such as turkey or

game, you can remove the glass plates

between the freezer drawers.

 Remove the upper freezer drawers.

 Place the food flat on the upper glass

plates so that it freezes through to the

middle as quickly as possible.

Once the food has frozen:

 Switch the SuperFreeze function

off.

 Place the frozen food in the freezer

drawers and push them back in.

By keeping the freezer section at a con-

stant temperature of 0°F (-18°C) and

taking appropriate hygiene measures

you can maximize the storage life of

your food and avoid food waste.

Freezing and storing food

Cooling drinks quickly

To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator

section, switch on the Automatic Su-

perCool function.

If you want to cool a large amount of

drinks, or if you want to cool drinks in

the freezer section, select Party mode

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.

Making ice cubes

Check and pay attention to the follow-

ing before switching the ice-cube maker

on:

- The ice-cube maker must be clean.

- The refrigeration appliance must be

switched on.

- The ice-cube drawer contains an ad-

justable partition. You can adjust the

size of the area in which the ice

cubes will collect depending on the

amount of ice you require.

- The drawer area below the ice-cube

maker must be empty.

- Ice cubes can only be made when

the ice-cube drawer is completely

closed.

 Risk to health due to contami-

nated water.

Bacteria can develop in water which

has been sitting in the water-supply

lines for too long. This poses a risk to

your health.

Throw away the first 3 batches of ice

cubes made after the ice-cube

maker is started up, as the water will

have been used for the initial rinsing

of the water-supply line.

This applies to the initial commis-

sioning as well as when using the

ice-cube maker again after it has

been switched off for an extended

period of time (more than 5days).

When using the appliance for the first

time, it can take up to 24hours for the

first ice cubes to drop out of the ice-

cube maker and collect in the drawer.

After the ice-cube maker has been

turned off and on again, it can take up

to 6hours for this process to be com-

pleted.

Only make normal domestic quantities

of ice cubes with the ice-cube maker.

The ice-cube maker can make up to

approx. 2.6 lb (1.2kg) of ice cubes in

24hours.

The amount of ice cubes made by the

appliance depends on the temperature

in the freezer section. The lower the

temperature, the more ice cubes

are produced.

Switching the ice-cube

maker on and off

 Tap.

 Swipe left or right until is shown in

the middle.

 Tap.

will light up orange when the ice-

cube maker is switched on.

Once the freezer section has cooled

down to its set temperature, the ice-

cube maker will fill with water.

Making ice cubes

As soon as ice cubes are produced,

they will empty automatically from the

integrated ice-cube tray and into the

drawer. The ice-cube tray cannot be re-

moved.

Ice-cube production is halted automati-

cally when the ice-cube drawer is full.

The drawer will not fill up to the top

edge.

Tip: Empty the ice-cube drawer at regu-

lar intervals, or if you have not pro-

duced any ice for more than a week.

This will ensure that you always have

fresh ice and the ice cubes will not form

a clump.

The ice-cube maker can be turned off

independently of the freezer section if

you do not want to make any ice

cubes.

If the ice-cube maker is switched off,

food up to a maximum height of

4" (10cm) can be placed in the ice-

cube drawer and frozen.

Defrosting

 WARNING! DANGER of injury

and damage!

Do not use any mechanical or other

types of aids which are not recom-

mended by the manufacturer to ac-

celerate the defrosting process.

Refrigerator section and

PerfectFresh Active zone

The refrigerator section and the

PerfectFresh Active zone defrost auto-

matically.

The condensate drains through a chan-

nel and drain hole into an evaporation

system at the back of the refrigeration

appliance. The warmth generated by

the compressor causes the condensate

to evaporate automatically.

Keep the condensate channel and

drain hole clean to enable this. The

condensate must always be able to

drain properly.

Freezer section

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 evaporates

periodically.

This automatic defrosting system en-

ables the Freezer Zone to remain per-

manently ice-free. However, the food

stored in the freezer will not defrost.

Cleaning and care

 WARNING! DANGER of electric

shock!

Unplug the appliance or trip the cir-

cuit breaker.

 WARNING! Fire hazard!
