    							In normal use, ice and frost will form on
    the evaporator plates. If allowed to
    accumulate, this will impair the
    efficiency of the freezer and increase
    the consumption of electricity.
    Do not scrape ice and frost off the
    evaporator plates as this can
    damage them and render the
    appliance unusable.
    The freezer should be defrosted from
    time to time. It must be defrosted if a
    layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has
    accumulated. It is best to defrost when
    only very little food or no food at all is
    left in the freezer.
    Before defrosting
    ^Switch on the Super freeze function
    at least 4 hours before defrosting to
    ensure frozen food retains its cold
    reserve for longer when taken out of
    the freezer.
    ^
    Remove the frozen food from the
    freezer and place it in another
    freezer, or in a cool box, or wrap it in
    several layers of newspaper or cloths
    and store in a cool place until the
    freezer is ready for use again.
    ^
    Take all the freezer drawers out
    except for the bottom one, which is
    used for collecting the defrosted
    water.To defrost
    Carry out the defrosting procedure
    as quickly as possible if food has
    not been placed in another freezer.
    The longer the food is left out at
    room temperature, the faster it
    defrosts.
    ^Switch off the appliance using the
    On/Off button, and remove the plug.
    The On/Off indicator light will go out.
    ^Leave the freezer door open.
    To speed up defrosting, two bowls of
    hot water (not boiling), with plates
    underneath them, can be placed in the
    appliance. Closing the door in this
    instance will help retain the warmth and
    speed up the defrosting process.
    We do not recommend the use of
    hot air blowers such as hairdryers
    for defrosting your freezer.
    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 may damage the
    plastic parts and which may cause a
    build-up of gases and pose a
    danger to health.
    Defrosting the appliance
    21
     
    						
    							After defrosting
    ^Take the bottom drawer out of the
    appliance and empty it.
    ^Use a sponge or towel to soak up
    any water from defrosting still in the
    appliance.
    ^Clean the appliance, and then dry it
    thoroughly.
    ^Plug the appliance in again, and
    switch on using the On/Off button.
    The indicator light will come on.
    ^Switch on the Super freeze function
    so that the freezer can cool down
    quickly.
    The indicator light will come on.
    ^Once the temperature in the freezer
    has reached the required
    temperature, place the food back in
    the freezer drawers and put them
    back in the freezer.
    ^Close the door to the appliance.
    ^
    Switch the Super freeze function off
    after 15 minutes.
    The indicator light will then go out.
    Defrosting the appliance
    22
     
    						
    							Never use cleaning agents
    containing abrasive substances
    such as sand, soda, acids or
    chlorides or chemical solvents.
    Non-abrasive cleaning agents are
    also unsuitable as they can cause
    matt areas to appear.
    Make sure that water cannot get into
    the electronic unit or into the
    ventilation gaps.
    Do not use steam cleaning
    apparatus to clean the appliance.
    Steam could reach the electrical
    components and cause a short
    circuit.
    The data plate located inside the
    appliance must not be removed. It
    contains information which is required
    in the event of a service call.
    ^Clean the appliance immediately
    after defrosting it.
    ^
    Switch the appliance off, switch off at
    the wall socket and remove the plug.
    Take any food out of the appliance
    and store it in a suitable cool place
    (e.g. cool-box or another freezer).
    Remove all the freezer drawers from
    the appliance.
    Cleaning the interior and
    accessories
    Use warm water with a little washing up
    liquid. Wash all accessories and
    drawers by hand only. Do not wash in a
    dishwasher.
    ^After cleaning, wipe the interior and
    accessories with a damp cloth, and
    dry with a soft cloth. Leave the door
    open to air the appliance for a short
    while.
    Ventilation gaps
    ^The ventilation gaps should be
    cleaned on a regular basis with a
    brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up
    of dust will increase the energy
    consumption of the appliance.
    Door seal
    Do not use any oils or grease on the
    door seal as these will cause the
    seal to deteriorate and become
    porous over time.
    The door seal should be cleaned
    regularly with clean water and then
    wiped dry with a soft cloth.
    Cleaning and care
    23
     
    						
    							After cleaning
    ^Close the door to the appliance.
    ^Plug the appliance in again, and
    switch on using the On/Off button.
    The indicator light will come on.
    ^Switch on the Super freeze function
    so that the freezer can cool down
    quickly.
    The indicator light will come on.
    ^Once the temperature in the freezer
    has reached the required
    temperature, place the food back in
    the freezer drawers and put them
    back in the freezer.
    ^Switch the Super freeze function off
    after 15 minutes.
    The indicator light will then go out.
    Cleaning and care
    24
     
    						
    							Repairs to electrical appliances
    should only be carried out by a
    suitably qualified and competent
    person in strict accordance with
    current local and national safety
    regulations. Repairs and other work
    by unqualified persons could be
    dangerous. The manufacturer
    cannot be held liable for
    unauthorised work.
    Ensure that current is not supplied to
    the appliance until after
    maintenance or repair work has
    been carried out.
    What to do if...
    . . . the appliance does not get cool.
    ^Make sure that the temperature dial
    is not set at 0.
    ^Check that the plug is correctly
    inserted in the socket and switched
    on.
    ^
    Check that the fuse is not defective
    and that the mains fuse has not
    tripped. If it has, contact the Miele
    Service Department.
    . . . the door will not open because it
    has been opened and closed too
    many times in succession.
    This is not a fault. The suction caused
    by opening and closing the door is
    preventing the door from opening. Wait
    a few minutes and then try again. It
    should now open without force.. . . the temperature is too low.
    ^Turn the temperature dial to a lower
    setting.
    ^The Super freeze function has not
    been switched off. The indicator light
    is still on.
    . . . the compressor is switching in
    too frequently and for too long.
    ^Check whether the ventilation gaps
    have been covered over or become
    dusty.
    ^The door has been opened too
    frequently, or a large amount of fresh
    food has been put in at once for
    freezing.
    ^Check that the door has been closed
    properly.
    ^Check whether a thick layer of ice
    has built up. If it has, then the freezer
    will need defrosting.
    . . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
    indicator light is on.
    The temperature has risen above the
    setting on the temperature dial because
    ^
    the door has been opened too
    frequently, or large amounts of fresh
    food have been put in at once for
    freezing.
    ^
    there has been a lengthy interruption
    to the power supply.
    ^
    the ventilation gaps are blocked.
    Once the problem has been resolved
    the alarm indicator light will go out and
    the alarm will stop.
    Problem solving guide
    25
     
    						
    							. . . the On/Off button indicator light
    is not on.
    ^Check if the Super freeze indicator
    light comes on when you press the
    Super freeze button.
    If it does, then the indicator light for
    the On/Off button is defective.
    Call the Service Department.
    ^If the Super freeze indicator light
    does not come on either, then check
    whether
    - the plug is correctly inserted in the
    socket.
    - the mains fuse has tripped. If it has
    there is a fault. Call the Service
    Department.
    . . . the Super freeze indicator light
    does not light up, even though the
    appliance is working.
    ^The indicator light is defective. Call
    the Service Department.
    . . . food has frozen together.
    Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
    handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
    apart carefully.
    . . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
    freezer section.
    ^
    Check whether the door closes
    properly.
    ^
    Defrost and then clean the freezer.
    Too thick a layer of ice reduces
    efficiency and increases energy
    consumption.
    If you still cannot remedy the fault
    having followed these suggestions,
    please contact the Miele Service
    Department.
    To prevent unnecessary loss of
    temperature it is advisable not to
    open the door while waiting for the
    appliance to be serviced.
