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! Temperature display During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the average temperature in the refrigerator. The temperature display will flash if – the temperature is not within the possible temperature range (0 °C to 19 °C), – a different temperature is being set.
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.
Using the refrigerator efficiently 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. For this reason, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for refrigeration. This includes: – Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers – Fruit which is not yet ripe – Potatoes – Some hard cheeses, e.g.
Using the PerfectFresh zone For every type of food, there are ideal storage conditions to ensure it stays fresh as long as possible, retaining both flavour and vitamins. The important factors for this are the storage temperature and the humidity. What are the advantages of the PerfectFresh zone? The correct combination of temperature and humidity is a unique feature of the PerfectFresh zone. Food can be stored for up to three times longer in the PerfectFresh zone than in a standard refrigerator.
Using 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.
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.
Adjusting the interior fittings Universal container Moving the bottle divider (depending on model) (depending on model) The universal container can be used both to store and serve food. 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 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.
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 Before cleaning A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning agents including a microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com. 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. For stainless steel surfaces, use a suitable stainless steel conditioning agent.
Cleaning and care ^ After cleaning, stainless steel surfaces should be treated with a conditioning agent for stainless steel. It is important to do this every time the stainless steel surfaces are cleaned, as the stainless steel conditioner protects the surfaces and helps prevent re-soiling. Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.
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.
Active charcoal filters If you have delayed changing the active charcoal filters and the indicator is not lit up, you will need to reset the counter when you replace the active charcoal filters via the settings mode. ^ Touch and leave your finger on the X sensor. ^ At the same time, briefly touch the On/Off sensor (without letting go of the X sensor). ^ Leave your finger on the X sensor for another 5 seconds until c appears in the display. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until ^ appears in the display.
