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.
The correct temperature – Leaving a finger on the sensor, adjusts the temperature continuously. When the highest or lowest temperature in the range is reached, the X or Y sensor disappears. ^ Touch and leave your finger on the X sensor. Approx. 5 seconds after taking your finger off the sensor, the average, current temperature inside the appliance is automatically shown. If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx.
The correct temperature § 5 is the default setting for the PerfectFresh zone. If a setting of § 1 to § 4 is selected, the temperature can fall below 0°C. Food could freeze! ^ Leave your finger on the X sensor for another 5 seconds until c appears in the display. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until d appears in the display. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor again. Temperature display During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the average temperature in the refrigerator.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with an alarm to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open and to prevent stored food becoming too warm. The alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than approx. 2 minutes. To switch off the door alarm whilst the door is still open If you want to keep the door open intentionally for more than approx. 2 minutes, you can switch the alarm off. The Alarm off sensor will light up red and the "Cooling" symbol will flash.
Super cool The Super cool function The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for the faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink. ^ Touch the Super cool sensor. It will light up yellow. The appliance will then work at full power to lower the temperature.
Storing food in the refrigerator Different storage zones 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. 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.
Storing food in the refrigerator Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator 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.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone Food is stored at a lower temperature in the PerfectFresh zone than in the refrigerator section. The humidity in the PerfectFresh zone compartment can also be regulated to suit the food being stored, providing ideal storage conditions and ensuring that food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins. Storage temperature The optimum storage temperature for fresh food which can tolerate cold temperatures is 0 - 3 °C.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone Always keep these foods covered or wrapped. Exception: Meat. The surface of the meat dries out slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria, which results in the meat lasting longer. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination and meat deteriorating, do not let one type of meat come into direct contact with another type. Humidity-controlled compartment The humidity-controlled compartment has a regulator which is used to adjust the relative humidity.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone 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.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh 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 food before placing it in the PerfectFresh zone. ^ Allow very moist food to drain before placing it in the appliance.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves To move the split shelf: The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Take both halves of the split glass shelf out, ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.
Adjusting the interior fittings PerfectFresh zone compartments Adjusting the condiment tray/bottle shelf The compartments in the PerfectFresh zone are on telescopic rails, and can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. ^ Lift the tray/shelf up and out of the stainless steel frame to remove. ^ Pull out the compartment as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage. ^ Push up the stainless steel frame, and remove.
Adjusting the interior fittings Universal container Moving the bottle divider (depending on model) The bottle divider can be moved to the left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut. The universal container can be used both to store and serve food. The bottle divider can be removed completely (e.g. for cleaning). ^ To do this, push up the front edge of the bottle divider, and disengage it. It consists of a deep tray a and a shallow tray b.
Automatic defrost Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh zone The refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone defrost automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Cleaning and care A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from Miele or from www.miele-shop.com. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit or into the light. Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole when cleaning. Unlike stainless steel cleaning agents, the conditioning agent does not contain any abrasive substances and will gently remove soiling.
Cleaning and care ^ The bottle shelf and condiment tray in the door can be removed from their stainless steel frames for cleaning. To remove the stainless steel trim from the lid of the butter and cheese compartment (in the top of the door), proceed as follows: ^ Take the butter and cheese compartment out of the refrigerator section. ^ Open the lid of the compartment. The stainless steel trim is a tight fit across the plastic lid and will require sufficient force to detach it.
Cleaning and care Appliance door, side panels The temperature of the dishwasher programme must not exceed 55 °C. Contact with some foodstuffs, such as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can cause plastic items to discolour. However, this discolouration will not affect the stability of plastic items. ^ Clean the interior shelves, drawers, lid and dividing plate by hand. These are not suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher.
Cleaning and care Stainless steel appliances – Appliance door The appliance door has a high quality, special finish which is resistant to soiling and is very easy to clean. Do not use the following to clean/condition the door – stainless steel cleaning agent: this will damage the surface. – Miele stainless steel conditioning agent: this will cause noticeable smearing. – Side panels ^ Use Miele stainless steel conditioning agent to remove any soiling.
Active charcoal filters The active charcoal filters should be changed approx. every 6 months. To confirm the filters have been changed When the Change active charcoal filter indicator lights up red, the active charcoal filters need to be changed. ^ Touch the Change active charcoal filter indicator for approx. 2 seconds. To change the active charcoal filters The indicator light will go out, and the counter will be reset.
