Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory and regulatory requirements.
This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is
combustible, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not con-
tribute 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.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
- Contact Miele Customer Service.
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 11g of coolant, at least 1m
3
of
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.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured
if it has been connected to the electricity supply.
The outlet must not be concealed behind the appliance and must
be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly discon-
nected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency.
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.
The electrical outlet must be properly grounded.
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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
The ice cube maker must only be connected to a cold water line.
DANGER of injury! Never tamper with the movable components
on the ice cube maker or the element on the ice cube maker.
Correct use
The refrigeration appliance is designed for use within a specific
climate class (room temperature range). Do not use in a climate class
for which it is not designed. A lower room temperature will cause the
compressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the refrig-
eration 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.
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.
Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.,
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. 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 zone.
Otherwise they could burst.
Risk of injury and damage. When chilling drinks in the freezer
zone, make sure that bottles are not left in for more than one hour.
Otherwise they could burst.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
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.
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.
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
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 2people.
Disposal of your old appliance
Children could become trapped in the machine and could suffo-
cate.

- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the machine so children cannot
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.
Make sure that the coolant pipework is not damaged during dis-
posal to avoid uncontrolled leakage of oil and coolant (see data plate
for coolant type).
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.
Caring for the environment
14
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
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds, and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electri-
cal and electronic appliances. By law,
you are solely responsible 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.
Please ensure that your old appliance
poses no risk to children while being
stored for disposal. For additional infor-
mation, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS” in these operating and
installation instructions.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
15
Installation location
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. Di-
rect sunlight should also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption of the
refrigeration appliance.
When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, please note the following:
- The electrical socket must be easily
accessible in an emergency and not
concealed behind the appliance.
- The plug and power cord must not
touch the rear of the refrigeration ap-
pliance as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind the refrigeration appliance.
If installation near a heat source is un-
avoidable, observe the following mini-
mum distances between the appliance
and the heat source:
- At least 1 1/4" (3cm)
to electric or gas stoves
- At least 11 3/4" (30cm)
to oil or coal-based stoves
If it is not possible to observe these
minimum distances, an isolation plate
must be installed between the refrigera-
tion appliance and the heat source.
Climate class
The refrigeration appliance is designed
for use within the climate class (room
temperature range) SN-T. Do not use in
a climate class for which it is not de-
signed.
Climate class Room tempera-
ture
SN 50°F to 90°F /
10°C to 32°C
N 60°F to 90°F /
+16°C to +32°C
ST 60°F to 100°F /
+16to +38°C
T 60°F to 109°F /
+16to +43°C
A lower room temperature will cause
the compressor to switch 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*
16
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on exter-
nal refrigeration appliance panels,
which can cause corrosion.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a
dry and/or air-conditioned room with
sufficient ventilation.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance door closes properly, the
ventilation gaps are not covered, and
the refrigeration appliance has been
installed in accordance with these
operating and installation instruc-
tions.
Installation notes
Risk of damage and injury due to
the refrigeration appliance tipping
over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance door(s) is (are) open.
Keep the appliance door(s) shut until
the refrigeration appliance has been
built in and secured in its housing in
accordance with these operating and
installation instructions.
Due to its weight and size, the refrig-
eration appliance must be installed
by two people.
Adjoining cabinetry/units
The appliance is screwed to the adjoin-
ing cabinetry/units to the side and

Load-bearing capacity of the niche
floor
To ensure the safe installation of the re-
frigeration appliance and to guarantee
its correct functioning, the floor of the
niche where the appliance is to be in-
stalled must be smooth and even.
It must be made from strong, rigid ma-
terial.
Because the refrigeration appliance is
extremely heavy when fully loaded, it is
essential that the floor it stands on is
able to bear its weight. If necessary,
seek the advice of an architect or con-
struction expert.
When fully loaded, the weight of the re-
frigeration appliance is approx.:
F 2462 Vi, F 2472 Vi 633 lbs
(287 kg)
F 2662 Vi, F 2672 Vi 765 lbs
(347 kg)
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the compres-
sor will run more frequently and for
longer periods.
This causes increased energy con-
sumption and an increased com-
pressor operating temperature,
which can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must never be
obstructed.
Door hinging
The appliance is supplied with a fixed
hinge. The door hinge cannot be
changed.

side with another refrigeration appli-
ance. The following overview will show
you which side-by-side installation op-
tions you have with your refrigeration
appliance.
Depending on the installation situa-
tion, you will need the side-by-side in-
stallation kit for side-by-side installa-
tion (see “Accessories – Optional ac-
cessories”).
Instructions for installing refrigeration
appliances side-by-side can be found
in the side-by-side installation kit in-
stallation instructions.
. . . with partition wall
The wall a between the side-by-side
appliances must be at least
5/8" (16mm) thick.
If the door hinges of the refrigeration
appliances are next to each other,
you must take into account the thick-
ness of the cabinet fronts and door
handles so that the appliance doors
do not collide and become damaged
if they are opened at the same time.
The refrigeration appliances are secured
individually in their installation niche us-
ing the supplied installation material.
If the partition wall a is narrower than
6 5/16" (160mm), you will need the
side panel heater from the side-by-side
installation kit to prevent condensation
from forming and any resulting damage.
When planning installation niches,
please note that the niche into which
the refrigeration appliance with the
side panel heater is installed must be
3/16" (4mm) wider (see “Installation
– Building-in dimensions”).
If the partition wall a is thicker than
6 5/16" (160mm), you do not need the
side-by-side installation kit, nor the side
panel heater.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
19
. . .without partition wall
If the appliances are to be installed next
to each other without a partition wall
between them, they will need to be

Preparing the installation niche
Risk of damage and injury due to
the refrigeration appliance tipping
over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
doors are open.
The building-in niche must be se-
cured to the wall behind it and/or
above it with several screws. Only
this will prevent the refrigeration ap-
pliance from tipping over after being
installed.
In addition, use the provided anti-tip
brackets to secure the building-in
niche.
The parts required for installation are
supplied with the refrigeration appli-
ance. The plastic bags supplied are
marked with letters for easy identifica-
tion.
When performing the individual as-
sembly steps, observe the letters
specified and use the matching plas-
tic bag with the required installation
equipment.
The anti-tip brackets prevent the refrig-
eration appliance from tipping.
The anti-tip brackets are also used to fix
the building-in niche securely to the
surrounding walls.
Use 2 anti-tip brackets for each in-
dividual appliance or 4 anti-tip brack-
ets for each (side-by-side) combina-
tion of 2 appliances.
Position the anti-tip brackets on
the left and right of the building-in
niche.
Depending on the subsequent adjust-
ment of the feet, the anti-tip brackets
are positioned 7'-7' 1 3/4" (2134–
2164mm) from the floor of the niche.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
30
Risk of injury and damage due to
tipping refrigeration appliance.
If the anti-tip brackets are fixed too
high up, they cannot be used to se-
cure the refrigeration appliance.
The distance between the
anti-tip brackets and the refrigeration
appliance must not exceed
5/16" (8mm).
Make sure that the gap between the
refrigeration appliance’s rear wall and
the building-in niche does not exceed
2" (51mm).

cal outlet must be properly
grounded.
Do not remove the round grounding
connector pin from the plug.
Use only a grounded plug adapter.
Wait for 1hour after installation before
plugging the appliance into the power
supply. This allows coolant and refriger-
ator oil to settle in accordance with reg-
ulations.
Ensure that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds with the connection
voltage of the appliance. A power sup-
ply of 110–120V, 60Hz and 10–
16Amp, which is protected by a power
switch or a fuse, is required to operate
the appliance.
The manufacturer recommends operat-
ing the appliance on a dedicated circuit
to avoid overloading the electrical cir-
cuit.
All relevant legal electrical, fire, and
building regulations must be observed
when installing the electrical outlet and/
or the appliance.
In certain countries, appliances are re-
quired to be connected to the electrical
supply via a wall-mounted ON/OFF
switch.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock,
or other injuries, the appliance must be
installed and connected by a suitably
qualified electrician in accordance with

Water filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 char-
coal filter)
The IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter,
which is already installed in the refriger-
ation appliance, improves the taste and
smell of the ice cubes by removing
chlorine and other substances from
supply water.
However, to ensure the highest quality
of the ice cubes, it is essential to
change the water filter (IntensiveClear
2.0 charcoal filter) regularly.
Optional accessories
A range of useful Miele accessories and
care products are available for your ap-
pliance.
Water filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh
filter)
The IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter filters
supply water for making ice cubes.
If an external water filter is attached to
your household water supply, you can
use an IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter in
place of an IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal
filter.
Unlike the IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal
filter, the IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter
does not need to be replaced, just
cleaned.

The correct temperature
86
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C) is required. At this tempera-
ture the growth of bacteria is generally
halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above 14°F (-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 (boiled
or roasted), as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
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. The refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within a specific cli-
mate class (room temperature range).
Do not use in a climate class for
which it is not designed.
Setting the temperature
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
The previously set temperature will ap-
pear.
Use the and sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your fin-
ger on the sensor control changes
the temperature continuously.
Confirm the temperature setting with
OK or wait approx. 8seconds after
the last touch of the sensor. This tem-
perature will be automatically
adopted.
Tip: The new temperature setting can
also be confirmed and adopted by clos-
ing the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approximately 6hours if the
appliance is not very full and for ap-
proximately 24hours if the appliance
is full before checking the temperature
display. It will take this long for an accu-
rate reading to be given.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
The correct temperature
87
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
7°F (-14°C) to -11°F (-24°C).
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can af-
fect the time it takes for the appli-
ance to reach the lowest tempera-
ture.
If the ambient temperature is too
high, the appliance may not reach
the lowest temperature.
Using SuperFrost
88
SuperFrost function
For best results, turn on the SuperFrost
function before putting fresh food into
the freezer.
Fresh food will be frozen quickly, so that
the nutritional value, vitamin content,
appearance, and taste are maintained.
Exceptions:
- Placing food in the freezer that is al-
ready frozen.
- When freezing up to 4.4 lb (2 kg)kg
fresh food daily.
Turning on SuperFrost
SuperFrost should be turned on 4–
6hours before placing food in the
freezer. When freezing the maximum
amount of food, the SuperFrost func-
tion should be switched on 24hours
beforehand.
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
Touch the sensor control to switch
the SuperFrost function on.
The symbol is highlighted in color
and the newly set temperature value of
-22°F (-30°C) appears in the display.
Confirm the setting with OK or wait
approx. 8seconds after the last press
of the button. The setting will be au-
tomatically adopted.
The symbol will light up on the tem-
perature display.
The appliance will now run at maximum
power.
Turning off SuperFrost
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
The symbol is highlighted in color
and the temperature value of -22°F
(-30°C) is shown in the display.
Touch the sensor control to switch
the SuperFrost function off.
The symbol is no longer highlighted
in color and the previous temperature
setting appears again on the display.
Confirm the setting with OK or wait
approx. 8seconds after the last press
of the button. The setting will be au-
tomatically adopted.
The symbol disappears from the
temperature display.
The refrigeration appliance will continue
running at normal power.
If you do not turn off the SuperFrost
function, it will turn itself off automati-
cally after approx. 54hours. The quan-
tity of fresh food placed in the freezer
will determine the duration before the
SuperFrost function turns off.
The appliance will then run at normal
power again.
Tip: To save energy, you should manu-
ally switch off the SuperFrost function
once the freezer zone reaches a con-
stant temperature of 0°F (-18°C) or
colder. Monitor the temperature in the
freezer zone.
Temperature and door alarm
89
The appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer cannot rise
unnoticed and to avoid energy being
wasted if the door is left open.
Temperature alarm
The Freezer temperature too high. Max.
temperature °C message appears in the
display if the temperature in the freezer
zone becomes too warm.
An alarm will also sound.
The temperature display will show the
highest temperature that was reached
during the time the temperature rose.
The audible and visual signals are trig-
gered, for example:
- When the appliance is switched on
and the temperature in the appliance
differs greatly from the set tempera-
ture.
- If a lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when frozen food is being
loaded, rearranged, or taken out.
- When large amounts of food are
frozen at once.
- When freezing fresh food which is still
warm.
- After an extended power failure.
The alarm will be silenced and the mes-
sage on the display will go out as soon
as the reason for the alarm has been re-
solved.
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.
Turning the temperature alarm off

Freezing and storing food
93
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.
Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be ex-
ceeded. The maximum freezing capac-
ity for freezing within a 24-hour period
is given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-
pacity ....lbs/24 hrs.”
What happens when you freeze
fresh food?
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.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells,
which then shrink. During the defrosting
process, only some of this water is re-
absorbed by the cells. What this means
in practice is that the food loses more
moisture. You can see this in the large
amount of water that collects around
the food when it defrosts.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink less. As there is not so much
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to
reabsorb it during the defrosting
process, and very little water collects
around the defrosted food.
Storing frozen food
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food must
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, make sure to check:
- that the packaging is not damaged
- the expiration date
- the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the store
The length of time food can be kept
is reduced if it has been stored at a
temperature warmer than 0°F (-18°C).
Buy frozen food at the very end of
your shopping trip.
Store it in the freezer compartment as
soon as possible.
Freezing and storing food
94
Home freezing
Only freeze food that is fresh and in
good condition.
Tips for home freezing
- The following types of food are suit-
able for home freezing:
fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, veg-
etables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy prod-
ucts, baked goods, leftovers, egg
yolks, egg whites, and a range of pre-
cooked meals.
- The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing:
lettuce, radishes, sour cream, may-
onnaise, whole eggs in their shells,
onions, whole raw apples and pears.
- To retain color, taste, aroma, and vi-
tamin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To
do so, place them portion by portion
into boiling water for 2–3minutes.
Then, remove and plunge the vegeta-
bles into ice-cold water to cool
quickly. Leave the vegetables to
drain.
- Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat and can be stored for consider-
ably longer.
- Separate chops, steaks, cutlets, etc.
with a sheet of plastic freezer film. to
prevent them from freezing together
in a block.
- Do not season raw food or blanched
vegetables with herbs or salt before
freezing. Cooked food should only be
lightly seasoned. The flavor of some
herbs intensifies when frozen.
- Placing hot food or drink in the
freezer causes food that is already
frozen to partially thaw and increases
energy consumption. Allow hot food
and drink to cool down before plac-
ing it in the freezer.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
–Suitable packaging
- Plastic films
- Freezer bags
- Aluminum foil
- Freezer containers
–Unsuitable packaging
- Packing paper
- Parchment paper
- Cellophane
- Garbage bags
- Plastic shopping bags
Remove as much air as possible from
the packaging before sealing.
Close the packaging tightly with
- rubber bands,
- bag clips,
- string or bag ties, or
- freezer tape.
Tip: Freezer bags and poly tubing may
also be sealed using home heat sealing
kits.
Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
Freezing and storing food
95
Before placing food in the
freezer
When freezing more than 4.4lb (2kg)
of fresh food, switch on the Super-
Frost function some time before plac-
ing the food in the freezer (see “Su-
perFrost”).
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed any-
where in the freezer zone, preferably in
the lowest freezer basket.
Place large quantities of food in the
large freezer basket.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the basket so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
Ensure that the packaging and con-
tainers are dry to prevent them from
freezing together or to the walls.
Please follow the guidelines in the ta-
ble below regarding recommended
weights for the baskets:
Upper
freezer
basket
Lower
freezer
basket
F24x2Vi/SF 26.5 lb
(12kg)
26.5 lb
(12kg)
F26x2Vi/SF 44 lb
(20kg)
44 lb
(20kg)
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food, as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of 0°F
(-18°C). Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. Fat can become
rancid from contact with oxygen in the
air, for example. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide val-
ues for the storage life of different food
groups in the Freezer Zone.
Food group Storage
time
(Months)
Ice cream 2to6
Bread, baked goods 2to6
Cheese 2to4
Fish, oily 1to2
Fish, lean 1to5
Sausage, ham 1to3
Game, pork 1to12
Poultry, beef 2to10
Vegetables, fruit 6to18
Herbs 6to10
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Freezing and storing food
96
Defrosting frozen goods
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
- In a microwave
- In an oven using “Convection” or the
“Defrost” setting
- At room temperature
- In the Fridge Zone (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold)
- In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat
or fish can be placed directly into a hot
skillet.
Meat and poultry (e.g.,hamburgers,
chicken, fish) should not come into con-
tact with other foods while defrosting.
Catch the defrosting liquid and dispose
of it carefully.
Fruit can be thawed at room tempera-
ture, either in the packaging or in a cov-
ered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot grease. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh vegeta-
bles due to changes in the cell struc-
ture.
Cooling drinks quickly
When chilling drinks in the freezer,
make sure that bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they
could burst.
Operating the Ice/Water dispenser
97
The Ice/Water dispenser requires a
plumbed water connection in order for
it to operate (see “Installation –
Plumbed water connection”).
If you do not dispense chilled water or
ice from the Ice/Water dispenser for a
longer period of time, the water/ice
may be stale. Regularly dispense wa-
ter/ice in order to achieve the best wa-
ter quality.
Risk of injury from broken glass.
Use a sturdy container for collecting
water and ice cubes.
Risk of injury due to incorrect
handling.
Risk of injury from holding your
hands under the Ice/Water dis-
penser.
Do not hold your hands under the
Ice/Water dispenser.
Risk of injury due to incorrect
handling.
Risk of injury from reaching into the
discharge opening of the ice con-
tainer.
Never reach into the discharge open-
ing of the ice container.
Risk to health due to contami-
nated water.
Consuming polluted water can lead
to illnesses.
The first 5glasses of chilled water as
well as the first 30–40ice cubes
made after the Ice/Water dispenser
is started up must not be consumed,
as the water will have been used for
the initial rinse through the water
supply line.
This applies to the initial commis-
sioning as well as when using the
appliance again after it has been
turned off for a long while.
Risk of damage due to blocking
of the ice maker.
The ice maker could become
blocked and, as a result, be dam-
aged.
Do not place any bottles or food into
the ice maker to chill them quickly.
If the Ice/Water dispenser is not used
again within 2minutes or if the appli-
ance door is opened, the Ice/Water
dispenser will switch to standby mode
automatically and the lighting will go
out.
After it has been activated again, it
can take a few seconds before chilled
water and ice are dispensed again.
Operating the Ice/Water dispenser

penser control panel should now be
highlighted in white.
If this is not the case, the system lock
has been activated (the sensor con-
trol will be highlighted in white, see
“Operating the Ice/Water dispenser –
Switching the system lock on/off”).
Once the freezer zone has cooled down
to its set temperature, the ice maker will
fill with water.
As soon as the water is frozen, the ice
cubes drop out of the ice maker into the
ice container.
Ice production is halted automatically
as soon as the ice container is full.
After the Ice/Water dispenser has
been switched on, it can take up to
24hours until the first serving of ice
cubes is ready.
After the appliance door has opened
and closed, it can take several sec-
onds until the Ice/Water dispenser is
ready for operation and the sensor
controls can be selected again.
Operating the Ice/Water dispenser
99
Dispensing chilled water
After the initial commissioning, there
may be air in the water circuit. Dis-
pense water until there are no more air
bubbles.
All materials used in the Ice/Water dis-
penser are odorless and do not affect
flavor.
If you dispense chilled water again af-
ter a longer period of time, the water
may be stale. In this case, pour away
the first 15glasses of water.
Regularly dispense water in order to
achieve the best water quality.

Take your finger off the sensor control
when the container is almost full.
Otherwise it will overfill or the ice will
block the spout.
The ice maker can make up to approx.
3 lb (1.3kg) of ice cubes in 24hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
machine depends on the temperature
in the freezer zone. The lower the
temperature, the more ice cubes
are produced within a given time.
Operating the Ice/Water dispenser
100
Empty and clean the ice container at
regular intervals, or at least if you
have not produced any ice for longer
than a week (see “Cleaning and care
– Emptying and cleaning the ice con-
tainer”).
This will ensure that you always have
fresh ice and the ice cubes will not
form a clump.
Switching off the Dispenser
Unit

Automatic defrosting
101
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.
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
102
WARNING! DANGER of electric
shock!
Unplug the appliance or trip the cir-
cuit breaker.
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not damage the coolant
pipework.

the Ice/Water dispenser are finished
with a high-quality surface coating.
This is resistant to stains and is very
easy to clean.
Cleaning and care
103
Risk of damage due to incorrect
cleaning and maintenance.
The surface coating will be dam-
aged.
Do not treat the drip tray grille, back,
and frame of the Ice/Water dispenser
with
– Stainless steel cleaners:
The coating will be damaged.
– Miele conditioning agents for stain-
less steel:
This will cause noticeable smearing.
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
The surface coating will be dam-
aged.
Do not clean the drip tray or the drip
tray grille of the Ice/Water dispenser
in the dishwasher.
Risk of damage caused by adhe-
sives.
Adhesives will damage the surface
coating, causing it to lose its dirt-re-
pellent properties.

Clean the appliance regularly, or at
least once a month.
Clean up any spills, stains, or food
immediately. Do not allow them to
dry and stick to the appliance.
Clean the appliance with a solution of
lukewarm water and liquid dish soap.
Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash
in a dishwasher.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance sufficiently for a short while and
to prevent odor buildup.
Aluminum frames
The frames to the shelves inside the ap-
pliance and the door shelves are par-
tially made from aluminum.
Aluminum is a dynamic material. The re-
flection and appearance of aluminum
changes in different lights and environ-
ments and depending on the angle you
observe it from. It is also susceptible to
scratching.
The aluminum frames may become
discolored or damaged if soiling is left
on for too long. Remove any soiling
immediately.
Cleaning and emptying the ice
container
Clean the ice container regularly.
This ensures that fresh ice cubes are
always produced.
Empty the ice container on a regular
basis. This prevents ice cubes from
freezing together.
The ice container is very heavy when
full. Pull it out using both hands.
Open the appliance door.
Lift the ice container with both hands
and pull it forward to remove it from
the appliance.
Empty it and rinse it with warm water.
Dry the container thoroughly so that
new ice cubes will not freeze onto the
surfaces.
Cleaning and care
105
To reinsert the ice container, push it
into the appliance until it clicks into
position.
If you cannot push the ice container
back in all the way, turn the screw
conveyor inside a little.
Cleaning the drip tray
The drip tray catches excess water.
To avoid a build-up of odor, the drip
tray should be cleaned every day.
Remove the drip-tray cover.
Remove the drip tray and clean it.
Dry the drip tray with a cloth.
Replace the drip tray and the drip-
tray cover.
Cleaning the door seal
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
If you treat the door seal with oils or
grease, it can become porous.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal.
The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (you could
use a Miele Vacuum Cleaner dust
brush, for example).
Cleaning the water filter (Inten-
siveClear 2.0 mesh filter) (see
“Optional accessories”)

The appliance is supplied with a water
filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter)
that filters supply water for making ice
cubes.
The IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter
improves the taste and smell of the ice
cubes by removing chlorine and other
substances from supply water.
However, to ensure the highest qual-
ity of the ice cubes, it is essential to
change the IntensiveClear 2.0 char-
coal filter regularly.
Please note:
- If an external water filter is attached
to your household water supply, use
an IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter in
place of an IntensiveClear 2.0 char-
coal filter (see Accessories – Optional
accessories”).
- After inserting a new water filter (In-
tensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter and In-
tensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter), dis-
pose of all ice cubes produced in the
next 24hours following the change.
- If you have not used the appliance or
the ice maker much in the last few
weeks or months, or if the ice cubes
smell unpleasant, replace the Inten-
siveClear 2.0 charcoal filter or clean
the IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter.
New water filters (IntensiveClear 2.0
mesh filters and IntensiveClear 2.0
charcoal filters) are available from
Miele Customer Service, from your
dealer, or via the internet.
Depending on the quantity of ice cubes
produced, the IntensiveClear 2.0 char-
coal filter must be changed approx. ev-
ery 6months.

Frequently Asked Questions
115
Problem Possible cause and solution
The compressor is turn-
ing on more frequently
and for longer periods
of time; the temperature
in the refrigeration ap-
pliance is too low.
The ventilation gaps in the cabinetry have been cov-
ered or become too dusty.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to re-
move any dust.
The appliance door has been opened too frequently,
or a large amount of fresh food has been placed in-
side or frozen at the same time.
Only open the appliance door when necessary and
for as short a time as possible.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
The appliance door is not properly closed.
A thick layer of ice may have already formed in the
freezer zone.
Close the appliance door.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
If a thick layer of ice has already formed, this will af-
fect cooling and increase energy consumption.
Defrost the appliance and clean it.
The ambient temperature is too high. The higher the
ambient temperature, the longer the compressor has
to run.
See the information in the section on “Installation –
Installation location”.
The refrigeration appliance was not properly installed
in the building-in niche.
See the information in “Installation” and “Installing
the refrigeration appliance”.
Frequently Asked Questions
116
Problem Possible cause and solution
The compressor is turn-
ing on more frequently
and for longer periods
of time; the temperature
in the appliance is too
low.
The temperature setting is too low.
Correct the temperature setting.
A large amount of food was put in for freezing at
once.
See the information in the section on “Freezing
and storing food”.
The SuperFrost function is still turned on.
To save energy, you can switch the SuperFrost
function off early yourself.
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The tempera-
ture in the appliance
rises.
This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too
high.
Correct the temperature setting.
Check the temperature again after 24hours.
The food begins to thaw.
The ambient temperature is too low for this appli-
ance.
If the ambient temperature is too low, the compres-
sor will run less frequently. This may cause the
freezer to become too warm.
See the information in the section on “Installation –
Installation location”.
Increase the ambient temperature.
The door to the Freezer
Zone will not open be-
cause it has been
opened and closed too
many times in succes-
sion.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening
and closing the door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait approx. 1minute and then try again.
It should now open without force.
The compressor runs
continuously.
Not a fault. To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed when less cooling is required. This
increases the compressor run time.
The temperature display
shows 0°F (-18°C), al-
though a higher temper-
ature is set.
This is not a fault. When the ice maker is turned on
and the ambient room temperature is also low (<+
0°F (-18°C)) the temperature is automatically ad-
justed to -0°F (-18°C). This guarantees that the ice
maker functions efficiently.
