Alarm  
The appliance is equipped with an  
alarm system, to ensure that the  
temperature does not rise unnoticed  
because of energy loss or open doors.  
Turning the temperature alarm Off  
As soon as the alarm condition is  
corrected, the alarm signal turns off  
and the affected zone stops flashing in  
the display. The "alarm" indicator goes  
out.  
The alarm system is always  
operational, it does not need to be  
turned on.  
Temperature alarm  
If the temperature becomes too warm,  
an alarm sounds, the "alarm" indicator  
turns red and flashes. At the same time  
the affected zone flashes in the display.  
^ To turn the alarm off early, press  
the "alarm" sensor button.  
The alarm signal turns off. The "alarm"  
indicator remains red and the  
corresponding appliance zone  
continues to flash until the alarm  
condition is corrected.  
If the freezer zone is affected, the  
temperature display shows the warmest  
temperature reached during the alarm.  
The alarm will sound and the display  
will flash if:  
If the temperature in the freezer  
zone reaches 0°F (-18°C) or higher,  
check that food has not defrosted.  
– too much warm air flows into the  
appliance, for example when food is  
being loaded, re-arranged, or taken  
out.  
Door alarm  
If one of the appliance doors is left  
open for over 5 minutes, an alarm  
signal will sound and the "alarm"  
indicator will turn red.  
– large amounts of food are being  
frozen at once.  
– the power fails.  
Turning the door alarm Off  
Once the door is closed the alarm turns  
off and the "alarm" indicator goes out. If  
the door has not been closed properly,  
the alarm will sound again after five  
minutes.  
^ To turn the alarm off early, press  
the "alarm" sensor button. The "alarm"  
indicator and signal will turn off.

^ Touch the access button "p" so it  
turns yellow.  
A temperature of 37°F (4°C) in the  
refrigerator section is recommended.  
– Freezer:  
7°F to -11°F (-14°C to -24°C).  
To freeze fresh food and store frozen  
food for an extended period of time, a  
temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is  
suggested.  
^ Touch the sensor button for the  
refrigerator or freezer section so it  
turns yellow.  
The room temperature and the  
installation location can affect the time it  
takes for the appliance to get to the

SmartFresh drawers  
The SmartFresh drawers provide the  
right combination of temperature and  
humidity. The result is freshness up to  
three times longer than in the other  
zones of the refrigerator.  
Using the SmartFresh drawers  
^ Use the sensor button to select the  
desired drawer.  
Storage temperatures  
For fresh foods that are not adversely  
affected by cold, the best range is  
32° - 37°F (0° - 3°C). This helps to keep  
the food fresh considerably longer than  
in the rest of the refrigerator, spoiling is  
minimal.  
The selected sensor button turns  
yellow, and the sensor buttons for the  
food choices appear.  
The temperature is set to approx. 35°F  
(1.5°C).  
The most recently selected food type(s)  
appear yellow.  
Humidity  
^ Use the sensor buttons to select the  
desired food type(s), so they appear  
yellow.  
The closer the humidity in the appliance  
matches the moisture content of the  
food, the more moisture the food will  
retain, and the fresher and crisper it will  
stay over a longer period of time.  
– Several food types can be selected  
at the same time.  
– To delete a food type, simply press it  
again.  
The optimal humidity is determined on  
the basis of the food stored in the  
appliance.  
– Depending on the food types  
selected, the optimal humidity is  
determined for the crispers.  
Proper humidity is assisted by 2  
humidity filters located above the  
SmartFresh drawers. These filters allow  
air to pass through, yet retain moisture.  
– The "deli" and "dairy" settings are the  
most energy efficient.  
^ Touch the access button "p" to  
confirm the settings.  
^ Place the food in the drawer.  
16  
SmartFresh drawers  
For optimal storage conditions, it is  
always best to store similar foods  
together in one crisper.  
Foods that are best stored under dry  
conditions  
– fresh fish and shellfish, meats,  
poultry, sausage, dairy products and  
deli salads.  
Foods that are best stored under  
moist conditions  
– fresh produce, e.g., vegetables,  
lettuce, herbs, mushrooms,  
cabbage, fruit.  
Remember that higher moisture levels  
can only be attained when the food is  
stored unpacked so air can circulate  
freely.  
17  
Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Different storage zones  
Coldest area  
Due to the natural circulation of air in  
the appliance, there are different  
temperature zones in the refrigerator.  
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest  
section of the appliance. Make use of  
these different zones when placing  
food in the appliance.  
The coldest area in the refrigerator is  
directly above the SmartFresh drawers.  
The temperature in the drawers  
themselves is even colder.  
Use these cold areas in the refrigerator  
for all highly perishable foods, such as:  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
This appliance uses a dynamic  
cooling feature to establish a  
constant temperature during  
cooling. As a result, the differences  
between temperature zones are less  
pronounced.  
– deli meats, store-bought meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– fresh bread dough, pastry dough,  
cake batters,  
Leave some space between items, so  
air can circulate freely around them.  
Make sure the ventilation slits are not  
covered - this is important for the  
cooling performance.  
– dairy products.  
If storing high-proof alcohol, make  
sure it is tightly closed and stored  
upright.  
Warmest area  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components in the door.  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door (storage shelf). Use this  
area to store items such as butter and  
cheese.  
Do not allow food to touch the rear  
wall of the appliance, it may freeze  
to the wall.  
18  
Using the freezer efficiently  
Freezing food  
Placing food in the freezer  
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly  
as possible. This helps maintain the  
nutritional value, vitamin content,  
appearance and taste of the food.  
Food to be frozen can be placed  
anywhere in the freezer section.  
Use the large freezer basket for large  
quantities of food.  
Never refreeze partially or fully  
Load bearing capacity of the baskets:  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible, it will lose its  
nutritional value and spoil if left for too  
long. Do not refreeze defrosted food  
unless it has been cooked.

^ When you are planning to freeze  
large amounts of food (more than  
4 ½ lbs [2 kg]), switch on the  
SuperCool function ahead of time  
(see "SuperCool").  
This will provide the food already in  
the freezer with a protective boost of  
cold air.  
^ Spread the food to be frozen across  
the bottom of the freezer basket or  
across the shelves, so that it will  
freeze through to the core as quickly  
as possible.  
^ When placing items in the freezer,  
make sure the packaging and  
containers are dry, to keep them from

Using the freezer efficiently  
Defrosting  
Cooling drinks quickly  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
To cool drinks quickly, switch on the  
SuperCool function. See "SuperCool" for  
more information.  
– in a microwave oven,  
– at room temperature,  
Do not leave bottles in the freezer for  
more than 1 hour, closed containers  
could burst.  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep the  
other food cold),  
– in a steam oven.  
Poultry It is especially important to  
observe proper hygiene when  
defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Drain it away  
and promptly wash the container, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Simply place directly into  
boiling water or hot oil.

SuperCool  
When the SuperCool function is  
activated, the appliance is cooled as  
quickly as possible (to a factory-preset  
temperature).  
The temperature in the appliance now  
begins to fall, with maximum cooling in  
the zone selected.  
Switching off SuperCool  
SuperCool  
The SuperCool function automatically  
switches off after:  
Refrigerator: approx. 6 hours  
When used with the refrigerator the  
SuperCool function is ideal for the rapid  
cooling of drinks and refrigerating large  
quantities of food.  
Freezer:  
approx. 52 hours  
The sensor button turns white, and the  
appliance continues running at normal  
power.  
When used with the freezer the  
SuperCool function is ideal for freezing  
large quantities of unfrozen food. The  
function should be switched on 4-6  
hours before the fresh food is placed in  
the freezer.  
To save energy, the SuperCool function  
can be switched off early, once the  
food and/or drinks are sufficiently  
chilled.  
If the max. freezing capacity is used,  
24 hours are recommended.  
This helps food to freeze quickly and  
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavor and  
appearance.  
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor button  
so that it turns white.  
Switching on SuperCool  
The temperature display for the zone  
selected returns to the original  
temperature setting.  
The appliance now continues running  
at normal power.  
^ Touch the sensor for the refrigerator  
or freezer (as desired) so it turns  
yellow.  
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor button  
so it turns yellow.

Ice cube maker  
For the automatic ice cube maker to  
operate, it must be connected to the  
household water supply. See  
"Plumbing".  
Do not use the ice cube container  
for rapid cooling of food or drinks.  
The ice cube maker may become  
blocked and be damaged.  
Turning on the ice cube maker  
Do not use the first batch of ice  
cubes from the ice cube maker.  
Discard the ice produced in the first  
24 hours after switching on the ice  
cube maker.  
This applies for the very first use,  
and whenever the appliance has  
been out of service for an extended  
period of time.  
Make sure that the ice cube container  
is under the ice cube maker, as far as  
possible.  
Ice cubes will not be produced  
unless the container is completely  
closed.  
The amount of ice cubes produced  
depends on the temperature in the  
freezer section. The lower the  
temperature, the more ice cubes will be  
produced in a given period of time.  
^ Touch the sensor button for the ice  
cube maker so that it turns yellow.  
As soon as the freezer has cooled to a  
freezing temperature, the ice cube tray  
fills with water. Cold air is blown directly  
over the tray.  
Turning off the ice cube maker  
The water supply line must be shut  
off several hours before the  
appliance or ice cube maker is  
switched off.  
As soon as the ice cubes are frozen,  
they fall into the ice cube container.  
The ice cube maker can produce  
approx. 140 ice cubes within 24 hours.  
After the appliance is turned on for the  
very first time, it can take up to 10 hours  
for the first ice cubes to drop out of the  
ice cube maker and collect in the  
container.  
^ Touch the sensor button for the ice  
cube maker so that it turns white.  
Once the ice cube container is full, the  
ice cube maker switches off  
automatically.

dissipated by the condenser  
periodically.  
During normal operation, condensate  
and frost can form on the rear wall of  
the refrigerator and drawers.  
You do not need to remove this  
build-up, it will defrost and evaporate  
automatically with the heat generated  
by the appliance.  
This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer to remain  
permanently ice-free, while ensuring  
that the food stored in the freezer stays  
frozen.

Water filter  
The water filter improves the taste and  
smell of ice cubes by removing chlorine  
and other substances from the  
incoming tap water.  
– Depending on how many ice cubes  
are produced, the filter will need to  
be changed approximately every 6  
months.  
It is important to change the water  
filter regularly.  
– When the filter indicator turns red,  
the filter will need to be changed  
soon.  
To avoid serious illness or death, do  
not use water that is  
microbiologically or chemically  
unsafe or of unknown quality without  
adequate disinfection or other  
treatment before or after use of a  
filter.  
Replacement filters can be ordered  
from Miele.  
– When the red filter indicator flashes,  
it is time to change the filter.  
Note:  
– After installing a new water filter and  
switching on the ice maker, discard  
the first 24 hour's worth of ice  
production.  
– If the ice maker has not been used  
for a prolonged time discard any ice  
cubes in the freezer, empty the  
container and discard the ice  
production of the next 24 hours.  
– If the appliance or ice maker have  
not been routinely used for several  
weeks or months, or if the ice cubes  
have an unpleasant odor, change
