Warning: fire hazard/flammable materials. This symbol is on the
compressor and indicates flammable materials. Do not remove this
sticker.
The refrigerant inside the appliance (details on the data plate) is
environmentally friendly but flammable.
The use of this refrigerant does, however, sometimes lead to a slight
increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of
the compressor, 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
refrigerant can damage the eyes and leaking refrigerant can ignite.
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 refrigerant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the
appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of a combustible
gas/air mixture building up. For every 8g of refrigerant at least 1m
3
of
room space is required. The amount of refrigerant 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 this appliance can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by
a qualified electrician.
Warning and Safety instructions

the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance.
Danger of sparking and explosion.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans or
bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in
the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage
instructions 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.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation
of your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and care
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice to rinse the ice cube maker
and the water pipes. Do this:
- before using for the first time
- if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time
- regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month) to
remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the
water supply)
- before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time
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
appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator,
causing 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 defrost
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
original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration
appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
Children playing could become trapped in the appliance and could
suffocate.
- Remove the appliance doors.
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so
children cannot climb inside.
- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking
themselves in and endangering their lives.
Risk of electric shock!
- Cut the plug off the mains connection cable.
- Cut the mains connection cable off the old appliance.
Dispose of the plug and mains connection cable separately from
the old appliance.
During and after disposal, make sure that the refrigeration
appliance is not placed near petrol or other flammable gases and
liquids.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Risk of fire due to escaping oil or refrigerant!
The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In high
enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source.
During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged in
order to prevent refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled
manner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to
damage 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
operation.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it
penetrates the airways.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Take care not to damage your
refrigeration appliance before or during
disposal in an authorised,
environmentally friendly manner.
This is to ensure that refrigerant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without
destroying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable
collection point where they can be
handed in free of charge. Please ensure
that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored for disposal.

- Other appliances must also not be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind the refrigeration appliance.
- When installing the refrigeration
appliance, make sure that the mains
connection cable does not get
trapped or damaged.
- Do not position or operate multi-
socket adapters, distributor strips or
other electronic devices (e.g. halogen
transformers) at the rear of the
appliance.
- The floor at the installation site must
be horizontal and level and must be as
high as the surrounding floor.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to
condensation on external appliance
panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on
external appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration
appliance models directly next to or
on top of one other.
Exception: your refrigeration appliance
can be installed next to another
refrigeration appliance with an
integrated heating 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 range
This refrigeration appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient
temperatures (climate range). Do not
use in ambient temperatures for which
it is not designed. The climate range is
stated on the data plate in the interior
cabinet of the refrigeration appliance.
Climate range Ambient

SN 10to32°C
N 16to32°C
ST 16to38°C
T 16to43°C
SN-ST 10to38°C
SN-T 10to43°C
A lower ambient temperature leads to
the compressor switching off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the refrigeration
appliance to rise with the risk of food
deteriorating and going off.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
17
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will result
in increased energy consumption and
a higher operating temperature for
the compressor. This may, in turn,
cause damage to the compressor.
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
appliance gets warm. The appliance
housing unit must therefore be
constructed to allow sufficient space for
ventilation (see “Installation
dimensions” and the installation
instructions provided).
Changing the door hinging
Danger of injury and damage to
the appliance due to heavy door.
There is an increased risk of injury
and damage if the door hinging is
installed by a single person.
Always change the door hinging with
the help of a second person.
The refrigeration appliance is supplied
with hinges on the right. If left-hand
hinging is required, the hinges must be
changed (see accompanying installation
instructions).
Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen
furniture, 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 3mm.
- Vertical gap
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 furniture
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.

appliance must also comply with the
applicable regulations in the
respective country.
For correct functioning (dispensing rate,
size of ice cubes, noise level) the water
connection pressure needs to be
between 150kPa and 620kPa (1.5bar
and 6.2bar).
If the water connection pressure
exceeds 620kPa (6.2bar), a pressure
reducing valve must be fitted.
The water supply line and the inlet
solenoid valve on the refrigeration
appliance are suitable for a water
connection pressure of up to 1000kPa
(10bar).
Use fresh water to ensure that the
quality of the ice cubes remains high.
Connect the hose to the fresh water
supply and avoid connection to a
water supply in which the water
might stagnate.
Only use the hose supplied. The hose
must not be shortened, extended or
replaced by a different hose.
The hose must only be replaced by
an original Miele spare part. The
food-grade hose is available to order
from the Miele webshop, from the
Miele Customer Service Department
or from your local Miele dealer.

ambient 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, cooker).
- Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.
- Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 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:
- 4 to 5°C in the refrigerator section.
- PerfectFresh Active zone just above 0°C.
- -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 fridge zone to defrost.
- Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the
appliance was delivered.

Close the stopcock for the water inlet.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appliance
and avoid odours building up inside.
It is also advisable to carry out the last
two instructions if you are switching
the refrigerator section off for a longer
period of time.
The correct temperature
40
It is very important to set the correct
temperature to ensure the shelf life of
food. Reducing the temperature reduces
the growth rate of microorganisms.
Food does not spoil as quickly.
The temperature in the refrigeration
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 which is being
put into it
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration
appliance. This refrigeration appliance
is designed for use within specific
ambient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
...in the refrigerator section and in the
PerfectFresh Active zone
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
Active zone is controlled automatically
and maintained at 0 to 3°C.
Automatic temperature distribution
(DynaCool)
The fan switches on automatically when
the cooling system for the refrigerator
switches on. It distributes the
temperature in the appliance to all areas
more evenly so that all the food will be
chilled to about the same degree.
...in the freezer zone
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
-18°C is required. This will prolong the
shelf life of your food and retain its
quality.
As soon as the temperature rises above
-10°C, the bacteria become active 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 temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the current average
refrigerator section temperature and
the maximum freezer section
temperature.
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
temperature to then be shown as a
constant 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
temperature 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 refrigeration
and freezer temperature in the
refrigeration appliance.

Tap.
Swipe left or right until the setting you
want (1: lowest temperature; 9:
highest temperature) is shown in the
middle.
Tap on the setting you want to
confirm.
The factory default setting for the
temperature level is5.
Under certain circumstances, a
setting from1 to4 can cause the
temperature to fall below 0°C. This
can cause food to freeze.
Check the temperature setting.
If you change the temperature setting:
check the temperature display after a
few hours. It will take this long for the
appliance to give an accurate reading.
- Wait for approx.6hours if the
refrigeration appliance is not very full
- Wait for approx.24hours if the
refrigeration appliance is full
If, after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low:
Adjust the temperature again.
Using Super cool and Super freeze
42
SuperCool
When switched on, the SuperCool
function can be used to rapidly
reduce the temperature in the fridge
zone to its lowest setting (depending
on the ambient temperature). 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 SuperCool function is
switched on, the appliance may make
more noise than usual.
The SuperCool function should be
switched on 4hours before placing
food or drinks in the fridge zone.
The SuperCool function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
12hours. The refrigeration appliance
will then run at normal power again.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperCool function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Switching SuperCool on and off
Touch the temperature display for the
fridge zone.
Touch to switch the SuperCool

Using Super cool and Super freeze
43
SuperFreeze
When switched on, the SuperFreeze
function can be used to rapidly
reduce the temperature in the freezer
section to its lowest setting
(depending on the ambient
temperature). The refrigeration
appliance will work at full power and
lower the temperature. Select this
function before freezing fresh food.
This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours
and appearance.
When the SuperFreeze function is
switched on, the appliance may make
more noise than usual.
SuperFreeze should be switched on
approx. 6hours before placing food in
the freezer section.
When freezing the maximum amount
of food, the SuperFreeze function
should be switched on 24hours
beforehand.
The SuperFreeze function will
switch itself off automatically after a
maximum of 72hours. The
refrigeration appliance will then run at
normal power again. The quantity of
fresh food placed in the freezer will
determine the duration before it
switches off.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperFreeze function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
You do not need to switch on the
SuperFreeze function:
- If you are placing food that is
already frozen in the freezer
- If you only freeze up to 2kg of fresh
food daily
Switching SuperFreeze on and off
Touch the temperature display for the
freezer section.

Explanation of the different
settings
Only the settings that require further
explanation are described below.
The door alarm and other warnings are
automatically suppressed when you
are in Settings mode.
Party mode
The Party mode function is
recommended if you wish to chill or
freeze large amounts of fresh food or
drink quickly or want to make ice
cubes.
Tip: Switch on the Party mode
function approx. 4hours before
placing food and drinks in the appliance.
When Party mode is switched on, the
following are switched on automatically:
- The SuperCool and SuperFreeze
functions
- The ice cube maker (ice cubes will be
produced)
Party mode cannot be switched on if
the fridge is switched off or if Holiday
mode is switched on.
If the freezer zone is used as an
additional fridge zone, Party mode
remains activated in the top fridge
zone. SuperFreeze and the ice cube
maker are automatically deactivated.
The Party mode function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
24hours. However, you can switch the
Party mode function off early at any
time.
Holiday mode
The Holiday mode function is
useful when you go on holiday and, for
example, you do not wish to switch off
the fridge zone completely or do not
need a high degree of cooling.
If Holiday mode is switched on, this
will be indicated on the start display. It
can be switched off via the start display
or Settings mode.
The fridge zone is regulated at a
temperature of 15°C, which
automatically sets the temperature in
the PerfectFreshActive zone to
between 9and12°C. In this way, the
fridge zone remains in operation whilst
saving energy.
The freezer zone remains switched on at
the previously set temperature.
If the freezer zone is used as an
additional fridge zone, Holiday
mode remains activated in the top
fridge zone. SuperFreeze and the ice
cube maker are automatically
deactivated.
Food which does not go off quickly can
be stored in the refrigeration appliance
for some time at this moderate fridge
zone temperature. Energy
consumption is lower than in normal
operation.
This also prevents the build-up of
odours and mould, which can occur if
the fridge zone is switched off and the
appliance door is closed.

Temperature alarm
The refrigeration appliance has been
fitted with a temperature alarm so that
the temperature in the freezer zone
cannot rise unnoticed.
If the temperature in the freezer section
becomes too warm,
will light up red
in the freezer section temperature
display.
An alarm will also sound until the cause
of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is
switched off.
The temperature the refrigeration
appliance is set at determines the
temperature the appliance recognises
as being too warm.
The audible and visual signals may be
activated in the following situations:
- You switch on the refrigeration
appliance and the temperature in a
temperature zone differs greatly
from the set temperature.
- A lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when you are rearranging or
taking out frozen food.
- You are freezing large amounts of
food at once.
- You are freezing warm food.
- There was a power cut.
- The refrigeration appliance has a
fault.
Before you switch the temperature
alarm off, you must determine the
cause and rectify it.
If the alarm disturbs you, it can be
turned off early.

Risk of explosion due to
flammable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). The spray cans in
question 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 refrigeration
appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease 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.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are
different temperature regions in the
refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the refrigeration section.
Make use of the different zones when
placing food in the appliance.
This refrigeration appliance has
automatic dynamic cooling, which
helps to keep an even temperature
when the fan is running. The difference
between the various temperature
zones is therefore less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing
butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the PerfectFreshActive
zone dividing plate and at the back of
the appliance. The temperature in the
PerfectFreshActive zone compartments
is even colder.
A temperature setting of 4°C
combined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food
poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas in
the fridge zone and in the
PerfectFreshActive zone to store all
delicate and highly perishable food,
including:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
Storing food in the fridge zone
54
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products
- Hummus, vegetable spreads, plant-
based cream cheese substitutes
- Pre-packed vegetables
- Other fresh food (with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C)
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
section
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5°C, because it
may be sensitive to cold. Depending on
the type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavour and/or vitamin
content may be altered if stored at too
cold a temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold includes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit such
as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruit
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, courgettes
- Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan,
mountain cheese)
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge
zone is in packaging or covered properly
(some exceptions apply in the
PerfectFreshActive zone).
This will prevent food odours 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
settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures, you
can prolong the storage life of your
food considerably. This prevents food
waste.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
55
PerfectFresh Active zone
The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies
the requirements of a chill
compartment to
DINEN62552:2020.
The PerfectFresh Active zone provides
ideal storage conditions for fruit,
vegetables, fish, meat and dairy
products. Food stays fresh considerably
longer while retaining both flavour and
vitamins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
Active zone is controlled automatically
and maintained at 0to3°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
humidifier is switched on, water
vapour is supplied to the stored fruit and
vegetables. The humidifier switches
on approximately every 90minutes 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 placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh
Active zone approx.30to60minutes
before using it. The aroma and taste do
not fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Humidity-controlled
compartment
| |
The upper humidity-controlled
compartment has a temperature of
0to3°C, and the humidity level is
increased depending on the position of
the compartment cover: not
increased or increased.
Humidity level not increased
When the setting is used, the
humidity-controlled compartment
becomes a dry compartment (see “Dry
compartment”).
Increased humidity
At this setting, the humidity-controlled
compartment is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
Increased humidity in the humidity-
controlled compartment can cause a
build-up of condensate.
If you find that too much condensate
has formed and this is affecting the
food, proceed as follows:
Wipe off any condensate with a
cloth.
Open the compartment cover by
moving it to the low humidity
position.
Switch the humidifier off.

Humidifier
When the humidifier is switched on,
water vapour is supplied to the fruit
and vegetables stored in the humidity-
controlled compartment each time the
appliance door is opened and
approximately every 90minutes. The
water vapour provides additional
humidity in the humidity-controlled
compartment.
The humidifier and its water container
are located in the dividing plate between
the refrigerator section and
PerfectFresh Active zone.
Check and pay attention to the following
before switching the humidifier on (see
“Selecting further settings”):
- The water container must have been
cleaned, filled with water and fitted
securely.
- The cover for the humidity-controlled
compartment must be closed
(setting).
The water in the water container
should last for approx. 4months.
The water container will only need to
be refilled if the humidifier is no longer
producing any water vapour.
Risk of damage due to incorrectly
filled water container.
Liquids containing sugar can damage
the humidifier.
Use only fresh drinking water to fill
the water container.
Risk to health due to
contaminated water.
Using contaminated water can lead
to poisoning.
Use only fresh drinking water to fill
the water container.
Risk to health due to
contaminated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which
has been sitting in the water
container for too long. This poses a
risk to your health.
Clean the water container for the
humidifier and fill it with fresh
drinking water if the refrigeration
appliance, the refrigerator section or
the humidifier has been switched off
for an extended period of time (more
than 2days).
Clean the water container for the
humidifier and fill it with fresh
drinking water if Holiday mode
has been switched on for an
extended period of time (more than
2weeks).

Dry compartment
|
The dry compartment has a
temperature of 0to3°C and the
humidity is not increased .
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
food which goes off quickly, such as:
- Fresh fish and shellfish
- Meat, poultry and sausage
- Deli salads
- Dairy products, such as milk, yoghurt,
cheese, double cream, etc.
- Plant-based products such as tofu,
oat drinks, hummus, vegetable
spreads, meat and cheese
substitutes, etc.
- Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.
Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates faster than other types
of food.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
For hygiene reasons, always keep
these foods covered or wrapped.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
59
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. The initial condition of the food is crucial
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 fridge zone – Food which is not suitable for storage in the
fridge zone”).
Select the correct PerfectFresh Active compartment for the food as well as the
correct position for the compartment cover (humidity not increased or humidity
increased).
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 cover 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 fridge
zone by 1or2°C. If ice crystals start to form on the base of the PerfectFresh
Active compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold
temperature will damage the food.
If adjusting the temperature in the fridge zone does not remedy the problem,
adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “The correct
temperature”).
Storing food in the additional fridge zone
60
Alternatively, the variable temperature
zone enables you to use the freezer
zone as a fridge zone.
You can also store large amounts of
fresh food as well as drinks for a
barbecue party or during the summer
months.
The additional fridge zone can be
switched on in Settings mode (see
“Selecting further settings – “Variable
temperature zone (Freeze&Cool)”).
Depending on the type of food to be
stored, select a temperature between
-2and 14°C:
Temperature range between 8and
14°C
This temperature range corresponds to
the temperatures found in a cellar.
- Loose vegetables which are sensitive
to cold such as potatoes, onions,
aubergines, cucumbers, peppers,
tomatoes, courgettes
- Loose fruit which is sensitive to cold
such as pineapples, avocados,
bananas, pomegranates, mangoes,
melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus
fruit such as lemons, oranges,
mandarins, grapefruit
- Vegetables and fruit such as
tomatoes, pears, nectarines, kiwis,
plums which should not ripen too
quickly
- Wine which is sensitive to cold
- Soft drinks such as mineral water,
lemonade, juice drinks, fruit juice
- Preserves
- Hard cheese (Parmesan)
- Butter which should remain
spreadable
Temperature range between 3and
9°C
This temperature range corresponds to
the temperatures in the fridge zone.
Refer to the storage recommendations
in “Storing food in the fridge zone”.
Temperature range between -2and
3°C
This storage climate corresponds to
the dry compartment (see “Storing
food in the PerfectFresh Active zone –
Dry compartment”).
It is ideal for storing food which goes
off quickly.
-2°C to 0°C
- Fresh fish and shellfish
0°C to 3°C
- Meat, poultry, sausage products
- Dairy products, such as yogurt,
cheese, cream, etc.
- Raw milk cheese and raw milk
products

dough
- Deli salads, ready meals
- Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.
Freezing and storing food
61
Freezing fresh food
Health risk caused by
decomposing food.
If the temperature in the freezer
remains above -18°C for a long time,
the frozen food can start to defrost.
This will reduce the storage life of the
food.
Check whether the frozen food has
started to defrost. If it has, check that
the food is safe to use and if it is,
then use it as soon as possible or
cook it before freezing it again.
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.
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
defrosting 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 freezing capacity for
freezing within a 24-hour period is given
on the data plate: “Freezing

Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check:
- That the packaging is not damaged
- The use-by date
- That the temperature at which the
frozen food is being stored in the shop
is -18°C or colder
Where possible, transport frozen food
in an insulated bag and then store it
quickly in the refrigeration appliance.
Home freezing
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 2kg of fresh
food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function for 6hours before placing
the food in the freezer.
When freezing even larger amounts of
food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function for 24hours before
placing the food in the freezer.
This helps the frozen food which is
already stored in the freezer to stay
frozen.
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Please note that some food is not
suitable for freezing. These include, for
example, vegetables that are usually
eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.
Tip: To retain colour, taste, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To do
so, place vegetables portion by portion
into boiling water for 2–3minutes. Then
remove 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
containers).
Freezing and storing food
62
Expel as much air as possible from
the packaging and close it tightly.
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
Placing frozen food in the freezer
If the food is too heavy, this can
cause damage.
Loading food which is too heavy can
cause damage to the freezer
drawers/glass shelves.
Do not exceed the relevant maximum
load:
Freezer drawer = 12kg
Glass shelf = 35kg
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. 1kg
- Meat: max. 2.5kg
–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.
–VarioRoom: freezing the maximum
amount of food (see data plate)
If the ventilation slots are blocked,
the cooling performance will
decrease 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 available
in the freezer section. If you wish to
freeze large frozen food such as a turkey
or game, the glass shelves between the
drawers can be removed.
Remove the upper freezer drawers.
Place the food flat on the upper glass
shelves so that it freezes through to
the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen:
Switch the SuperFreeze function
off.
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawers and push them back in.

taking appropriate hygiene measures
you can maximise the storage life of
your food and avoid food waste.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator
section, switch on the SuperCool
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
64
Check and pay attention to the following
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
adjustable 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
contaminated 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
commissioning as well as when using
the ice cube maker again after it has
been switched off for an extended
period of time (more than 5days).
When using the appliance for the first
time, it can take up to 24hours 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, this process
lasts max. 6hours.
Only make normal domestic quantities
of ice cubes with the ice cube maker.
The ice cube maker can make up to
approx. 1.2kg of ice cubes in 24hours.
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

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.
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
removed.
Making ice cubes
65
Ice cube production is halted
automatically when the ice cube drawer
is full. The drawer will not fill up to the
top edge.
Tip: Empty the ice cube drawer at
regular intervals, or if you have not
produced 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 10cm
can be placed in the ice cube drawer
and frozen.
Defrosting
66
Refrigerator section and
PerfectFresh Active zone
The refrigerator section and the
PerfectFresh Active zone defrost
automatically.
The condensate drains through a
channel 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.
Condensate must be able to drain
away unhindered at all times.
Freezer zone
The appliance is equipped with a
“NoFrost” system. The refrigeration
appliance defrosts automatically.
The moisture generated in the appliance
collects on the condenser and is
automatically defrosted and dissipated
from time to time.
This automatic defrosting system
enables the freezer to remain
permanently ice-free. Food stored in the
freezer will not defrost with this system.
Cleaning and care
67
The data plate located inside the
interior cabinet of the refrigeration
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is required
in the event of a fault.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical
components.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used in the interior cabinet of the
refrigeration appliance must be food
safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use the following:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g.
scouring powder, scouring liquid or
pumice stones)
- Cleaning agents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Oven sprays
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes
(e.g. pot scourers)
- Eraser stain remover blocks

appliance
The refrigeration appliance should be
cleaned regularly (at least once a
month).
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove under certain circumstances.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently using a cotton
swab or similar item to ensure that
condensate can drain away freely.

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 have been covered or become
too dusty.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The appliance doors have been opened too frequently,
or a large amount of fresh food has been put in all at
once for storage or freezing.
Only open the appliance doors when necessary and
for as short a time as possible.
