Before placing food in the freezer

^ 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").

^ 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.

This will provide the food already in

the freezer with a protective boost of

cold air.

^ When placing items in the freezer,

make sure the packaging and

containers are dry, to keep them from

sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, try not to let frozen

food come into contact with

unfrozen food, this could cause the

frozen food to defrost.

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.

Using the freezer efficiently

Freezing tips

– Do not place hot foods or drinks in

the freezer. This causes already

frozen food to thaw, and increases

the energy consumption

– The following are examples of foods

suitable for freezing:

Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,

vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit,

pastry/dough, leftovers, and a range

of pre-cooked meals.

considerably. Allow hot foods and

drinks to cool down before placing

them in the freezer.

– The following examples of foods not

suitable for freezing:

Packing tips

^ Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

Lettuce, radishes, sour cream,

mayonnaise, eggs in their shells,

onions, whole raw apples and pears.

- greaseproof paper

- cellophane

– To retain color, taste and vitamin C,

vegetables should be trimmed,

washed, and blanched.

- garbage bags

- plastic shopping bags

To blanch: bring a large saucepan of

water to a boil, then submerge the

vegetables in rapidly boiling water

for 2-3 minutes, depending on type.

Remove, and plunge into ice-cold

water to cool quickly. Drain and pack

for freezing.

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer bags/wrap

- aluminum foil

- freezer containers

^ To help prevent freezer burn, expel

as much air as possible from

bags, etc., before sealing them.

– Lean meat freezes better than fatty

meat, and can be stored for

considerably longer.

^ Close the packaging tightly with

- plastic clips

- twist ties

– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or

rolled meats from freezing together in

solid blocks when packed, separate

with a sheet of plastic freezer wrap.

- rubber bands

^ Mark the package to indicate the

contents and the date of freezing.

– Do not season fresh foods or

blanched vegetables before

freezing. Cooked food can be lightly

seasoned before freezing, but care

should be taken as the taste of some

spices alters when frozen.

SuperCool

When the SuperCool function is

activated, the appliance is cooled as

cold as possible (to a factory-preset

temperature).

Switching off SuperCool

The SuperCool function automatically

switches off after approx. 52 hours. The

sensor button turns white, and the

appliance continues running at normal

power.

SuperCool

The SuperCool function is ideal for

freezing large quantities of unfrozen

food. Ideally the function should be

switched on 4 - 6 hours before the food

is placed in the freezer.

To save energy, you can switch off the

SuperCool function once the food is

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 so that it

turns white.

The temperature display returns to the

original temperature setting.

Switching on SuperCool

The appliance now continues running

at normal power.

^ Touch the SuperCool sensor so that

it turns yellow.

The temperature now begins to fall, with

maximum cooling performance.

The new temperature setting appears in

the display -22°F (-30°C).

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.

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.

This applies for the very first use,

and whenever the appliance has

been out of service for an extended

period of time.

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.

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.

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 hours' 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

the water filter.

Note: Air trapped in the system may

cause water and the filter cartridge

to eject forcefully. Use caution when

removing.
