    							Before placing food in the freezer
    ^When freezing more than 2 kg of
    fresh food, switch on the Super
    freeze function for some time before
    placing the food in the freezer (see
    "Super freeze").
    This also helps to prevent food that is
    already in the freezer from starting to
    defrost.
    Placing food in the freezer
    Fresh food can be placed in any
    drawer for freezing, however it is
    preferable to use the lower drawers.
    Large quantities should be placed
    directly on the glass cold plates to
    freeze the food quickly. To do this first
    take out one or more of the freezer
    drawers.
    Each drawer and glass cold plate
    can take a maximum of 25 kg.
    ^Place the food flat in the bottom of
    the drawers or on the glass cold
    plates so that it freezes through to the
    core as quickly as possible.
    ^
    Make sure that the packaging and
    containers are dry to prevent them
    sticking together when frozen.
    When freezing, make sure that food
    already frozen does not come into
    contact with fresh food being frozen
    as this could cause the frozen food
    to begin to defrost.
    Freezing large items
    If you wish to freeze large items such
    as a turkey or game, the glass cold
    plates between the drawers can be
    removed. To do this:
    ^Remove the freezer drawers and
    carefully lift and slide out the glass
    cold plate.
    If required, all the drawers and glass
    plates can be removed from the
    appliance in order to utilise the entire
    space.
    Freezer calendar
    The freezer calendar on the freezer
    drawer gives the length of time in
    months which various foods can be
    stored for effectively.
    Where the storage time given on the
    packaging differs, follow the advice on
    the packaging.
    2-3 months:
    Cakes, ice cream, stews
    3-5 months:
    Fish, mushrooms, bread
    6-8 months:
    Pork, veal, poultry
    10-12 months:
    Beef, fruit, vegetables

    							Defrosting
    Frozen food can be defrosted in
    different ways:
    –in a microwave oven,
    –in an oven using the "Fan" or
    "Defrost" setting,
    –at room temperature,
    –in the refrigerator (the cold given off
    by the frozen food helps to keep
    other food cold),
    –in a steam oven.
    PoultryIt is particularly important to
    observe food hygiene rules when
    defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
    from defrosted poultry. Pour it away
    and wash the container it was in, the
    sink and your hands. Danger of
    salmonella poisoning.
    Fruitshould be defrosted at room
    temperature in its packaging, or in a
    covered bowl.
    Most vegetablescan be cooked while
    still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
    water or hot fat. The cooking time is
    slightly less than that of fresh
    vegetables due to changes in the cell
    structure.
    Never re-freeze partially or fully
    defrosted food. Consume defrosted
    food as soon as possible as it will
    lose its nutritional value and spoil if
    left for too long. Defrosted food may
    only be re-frozen after it has been
    cooked.
    Ice cubes
    ^Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
    water, and place it in the bottom of
    one of the drawers.
    ^Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
    for example a spoon handle, to
    remove the ice tray from the freezer.
    ^Ice cubes can be removed easily
    from the tray by twisting the tray
    gently or by holding it under cold
    running water for a short while.
    Cooling drinks
    When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
    bottles arenot left in the freezer for
    more than one hour, as they could
    burst.
    Freezing and storing food
    22
     
    						
    							Freezer tray
    The freezer tray is useful for freezing
    small items such as berries and
    vegetables. They can be frozen
    individually and therefore maintain their
    shape when defrosted.
    ^Space the food out loosely on the
    tray.
    ^Hang the tray in one of the upper
    freezer drawers.
    Leave the food for 10-12 hours to
    freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it
    to a freezer bag or suitable container
    once frozen. Place the bag or container
    in the freezer drawer.
    Cool pack
    The cool pack prevents the
    temperature in the freezer rising too
    quickly in the event of a power cut.
    Place the cool pack in the upper
    drawer directly on top of food, or in the
    freezer tray to save space. The cool
    pack will be at its most effective after it
    has been in the freezer for approx. 24
    hours.
    If there is a power cut, place the cool
    pack directly on top of the frozen food
    in the top drawer so that the food will
    be kept cold for as long as possible.
    When placing fresh food in the freezer,
    use the cool pack to separate the fresh
    food from the food which is already
    frozen so that the frozen food does not
    begin to thaw.
    The cool pack can also be used in a
    cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for
    a short period of time.
    Freezing and storing food
    23
     
    						
    							In normal use, ice and frost will form in
    the freezer. 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 as
    this can cause damage and render
    the freezer 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
    approx.1 day 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 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.
    ^
    Remove all the freezer drawers from
    the freezer.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 the appliance off, switch off at
    the socket and remove the plug.
    ^Open the freezer door.
    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.
    ^Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
    defrosted water.
    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
    24
     
    						
    							After defrosting
    ^Clean the appliance, and then dry it
    thoroughly.
    ^Close the appliance door, insert the
    plug in the socket and switch the
    appliance back on.
    ^Switch on the Super freeze function
    so that the appliance can cool down
    quickly. The indicator light will come
    on.
    ^Once the temperature in the freezer
    is sufficiently low, slide the glass cold
    plates back into the freezer, then
    replace the food in the freezer
    drawers and put them back in the
    freezer.
    ^Switch off Super freeze by pressing
    the Super freeze button when the
    temperature in the freezer is a
    constant -18 °C or colder.
    The indicator light will go out.
    Defrosting the appliance
    25
     
    						
    							Never use cleaning agents
    containing abrasive substances
    such as sand, soda, acids, 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 temperature selector.
    Never use steam-cleaning
    apparatus to defrost or 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.
    Before cleaning
    ^
    Switch the appliance off, switch off at
    the socket and remove the plug.
    ^
    Take any frozen food out of the
    appliance and store it in a cool place.
    ^
    Take out any removable parts, e.g.
    shelves, for cleaning.
    ^
    Defrost the freezer.
    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 seals should be cleaned
    regularly with clean water, and then
    wiped dry with a soft cloth.
    After cleaning
    ^
    Close the door and switch the
    appliance 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
    is sufficiently low, place the food
    back in the freezer drawers and put
    them back in the freezer.
    ^
    You can switch the Super freeze
    function off once the temperature in
    the freezer has reached a constant
    temperature of at least -18°C.
    The indicator light will then go out.
    Cleaning and care
    26
     
    						
    							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.
    ^Check whether the appliance has
    been switched on. The temperature
    display must be lit up.
    ^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.
    ^Select a warmer temperature.
    ^The Super freeze function is still
    switched on. The Super freeze
    function switches itself off
    automatically after approx. 30 - 65
    hours.
    . . . the compressor is switching in
    too frequently and for too long.
    ^Check whether the ventilation gaps in
    the plinth and in the housing unit at
    the top have been covered over or
    become too 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 to see whether a thick layer of
    ice has built up in the freezer. If it
    has, then the freezer will need
    defrosting.

    							. . . the compressor runs
    continuously.
    To save energy, the compressor runs at
    a lower speed, but for longer, when
    less cooling is required.
    . . . 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.

    temperature set because
    ^
    the door has been opened too
    frequently, or large amounts of fresh
    food have been put in at once for
    freezing.
    ^
    the ventilation gaps are blocked.
    ^

    The temperature has risen too high at
    some point during the last couple of
    days because of a power cut.
    ^Press the alarm button whilst "nA"is
    lit up in the display.
    The temperature display will show the
    warmest temperature recorded in the
    appliance during the power cut.
    Depending on the temperature
    displayed, you should check the
    condition of food in the freezer. If it has
    defrosted or started to defrost, check
    that it is still safe to use and if so use it
    as soon as possible. Defrosted food
    may only be re-frozen after it has been
    cooked.
    The warmest temperature will show in
    the display for about 1 minute. The
    actual current temperature in the
    freezer section will then show in the
    display again.
