Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

The transport and protective packing

has been 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 babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Take care not to damage the pipework

at the back of it before or during

transportation to an authorised

collection depot.

In this way, refrigerant in the pipework

and oil in the compressor will be

contained, and will not leak out into the

environment.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

This appliance complies with all

relevant safety requirements.

Improper use can, however, present

a risk of both personal injury and

material damage.

This appliance is not designed for

commercial use. It is intended for use in

domestic households and in similar

working and residential environments

such as:

– Shops

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, please

read these instructions carefully

before installation and before using

it for the first time. They contain

important notes on installation,

safety, operation and maintenance.

– Offices and showrooms

and by residents in establishments

such as:

– Hostels and guest houses.

This appliance is not intended for

outdoor use.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and pass them on to any

future owner.

This appliance is intended for domestic

use only for the cool storage of food

and drink.

Any other usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable

for damage resulting from incorrect or

improper use or operation of the

appliance.

,Warning!

This appliance is very heavy and

can tip forwards when the door is

open. Keep the appliance door shut

until the appliance has been built in

and secured in its housing in

accordance with these operating

and installation instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Children 8 years and older may use

the appliance only if they have been

shown how to use it in a safe way and

understand the hazards involved.

Children under 8 years of age must

be kept away from the appliance unless

they are constantly supervised.

This appliance contains the coolant

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which

is environmentally friendly. Although it

is flammable, it does not damage the

ozone layer and does not increase 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 compressor, you might be able to

hear the coolant flowing around the

system. This is unavoidable, and does

not have any adverse effect on the

performance of the appliance.

This appliance is not a toy! To

prevent the risk of injury, do not allow

children to play with the appliance, for

example to climb inside the drawers or

to swing on the door.

The door hinges can cause injury.

Keep children well away at all times.

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct

temperature for storing food in the

appliance. Micro-organisms will cause

food which is not stored at the correct

temperature to deteriorate rapidly.

Temperature influences the growth rate

of these micro-organisms. Reducing

the temperature reduces their growth

rate.

Dynamic cooling

The dynamic cooling fan automatically

switches on 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.

The temperature in the appliance will

rise:

When you have adjusted the

temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours

if the appliance is not very full and

for approx. 24 hours if the appliance

is full before checking the temperature,

as it will take this long for the appliance

to reach the temperature. If, after this

time, the temperature is still too high or

too low, you will need to adjust it again.

^ Take note of the position of the X

sensor (but do not touch it!).

The ambient temperature in the

room and the installation location

can affect the time it takes for the

appliance to reach the lowest

temperature. If the ambient

temperature is too high, the

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Different storage zones

– pre-packed vegetables and other

fresh food with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of

approx. 4 °C.

Due to the natural circulation of the 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

the different zones when placing food

in the appliance.

Do not store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products

containing propellants (e.g. spray

cans). Danger of explosion.

This appliance has automatic

dynamic cooling, which helps to

keep an even temperature when the

fan is running, making the difference

between the various zones less

pronounced.

If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is

tightly closed, and store upright.

Please be aware if storing cooking

oil in the appliance that traces of oil

can cause stress cracks to occur in

the plastic components.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section

of the door. Use this for storing butter

and cheese.

Food must not touch the back wall of

the appliance, as it may freeze to

the back wall.

Coldest areas

The coldest areas in the refrigerator

section are directly above the

MasterFresh zone and in the

MasterFresh zone itself which is slightly

colder still.

To allow air to circulate efficiently,

do not pack food too closely

together in the refrigerator. Make

sure the the vents at the back of the

appliance are not covered, as this is

essential for keeping the appliance

cool.

Use these areas for all delicate and

highly perishable food, e.g.

– fish, meat, poultry,

– sausage products, ready meals,

– dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream,

– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough,

– soft cheese and other dairy

products,

The freshness of food when first placed

in the appliance is an important factor

in determining how long it stays fresh,

reversed. As little as two hours outside

the refrigerator can cause food to start

deteriorating.

Food which is not suitable for

storing in a refrigerator

Storing food correctly

Not all food is suitable for storing in a

refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C,

as some food is sensitive to cold.

Cucumbers, for example, become

glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes

sweet. Tomatoes and oranges loose

their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits

hardens.

Food should generally be stored

covered or packaged in the refrigerator

(there are some exceptions to this rule

in the MasterFresh zone - see below).

This will prevent food smells from

affecting other food, food from drying

out, and also any cross-contamination

of bacteria. The growth of bacteria,

such as salmonella, can be avoided by

setting the correct temperature and

maintaining good standards of hygiene.

Food which is sensitive to cold includes:

– Pineapple, avocado, bananas,

pomegranate, mango, melon,

papaya, passion fruit,

Unpacked meat and vegetables

citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,

mandarins, grapefruit),

Unpackaged meat and vegetables

should be stored separately. To avoid

any microbiological

Storing food in the MasterFresh zone

Can all types of food be stored

together?

Do not place all types of food together

in one drawer. Some types of food do

not store well together. Aromas and

flavours can transfer from one type of

food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the

smell and flavour of onions very easily).

Some food also gives off a natural gas

(ethylene) which speeds up the rate at

which other food perishes. Some fruit

and vegetables react strongly to this

gas and should not be stored together.

Examples of fruit and vegetables

which produce a large amount of this

natural gas are:

Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,

peaches, plums, avocados, figs,

blueberries, melons and beans.

Examples of fruit and vegetables

which react strongly to the natural

gases given off by other types of fruit

and vegetables are:

Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels

sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,

apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,

pears, nectarines and peaches.

Example: Broccoli should not be stored

with apples, as apples produce a large

amount of natural gas to which broccoli

is very sensitive. The result is a shorter

than expected storage time for the

broccoli.

Storing food in the MasterFresh zone

The following tips may help 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 use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it

is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it

stays fresh.

^ Clean the MasterFresh zone before placing food in it.

^ Allow very moist food to drain before placing it in the MasterFresh zone.

^ Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the MasterFresh zone

(see "Food which is not suitable for storing in a refrigerator")

^ Bear in mind that not all types of food can be stored together (see "Can all types

of food be stored together?").

^ Organise the foods to be stored into groups requiring lower or higher humiidity.

^ Store food unwrapped in the high humidity MasterFresh drawer.

High humidity in the MasterFresh drawer can only be achieved by storing food

which contains moisture in it.

If the humidity is not high enough, because, for example, too little food has been

stored in the drawer, you can use a wet sponge to increase the humidity.

^ If you think that the temperature in the MasterFresh zone is too high or too low,

try regulating it by altering the temperature of the refrigerator section by 1 to 2

°C.

The temperature must be increased if ice crystals start to form on the floor of the

MasterFresh zone as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

^ If a lot of water has gathered on the base of the MasterFresh zone, dry the base

with a towel. Drain food before storage or place a rack on the floor of the

MasterFresh zone and place the food on the rack so that the moisture can drip

down.
