Frequently Asked Questions - 9430570 MIELE

How do I set the temperature on my Miele freezer 9430570?

Use the temperature control panel on the front of the freezer. Press the up/down arrows to select your desired temperature, typically -18 °C or colder for long-term storage.

What is SuperFreeze and when should I use it?

SuperFreeze rapidly lowers the temperature to freeze fresh food quickly, preserving nutrients. Activate it 24 hours before adding large amounts of unfrozen food.

How do I clean the freezer interior?

Unplug the freezer, remove food and drawers, wash with warm water and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The EasyClean coating makes it simpler.

Why is the door alarm sounding?

The door alarm sounds if the door is left open for more than 60 seconds. Close the door firmly to stop it. If it persists, check the door seal for dirt or damage.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

This model features Frost-free technology (automatic defrost), so manual defrosting is not needed. Ice build-up is minimal.

What do the error codes on the display mean?

Refer to the user manual for a full list. Common codes: F1 (temperature sensor issue), F2 (defrost problem). Contact Miele service for assistance.

Can I install the freezer in a garage?

Check the climate class on the rating plate. This model is SN-T, suitable for ambient temperatures from +10 °C to +43 °C, so it can be used in a garage within that range.

How do I replace the interior LED light?

The LED light is designed as a long-life component and should only be replaced by a qualified technician. Contact Miele service if it fails.

Why is ice forming on the back wall of the freezer?

This can happen if the door is opened frequently or left ajar. Frost is normal but excessive ice may indicate a seal issue. Check the door gasket and ensure it closes properly.

Where can I find spare parts for my Miele freezer?

Original Miele spare parts are available for at least 10 years after production. Order through authorized dealers or Miele customer service using your model number 9430570.

Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.

This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.

When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes.

In the event of damage:

- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.

- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity supply.

- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.

- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m³ of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the household supply.

Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
▶ Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.
▶ Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.

▶ Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

Correct use

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.

Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.

Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury or damage.

Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or to the metal.

Danger of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.

Do not refreeze 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.

Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instructions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored.

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Cleaning and care

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance.

Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

▶ Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to

- remove frost and ice,

- separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

Do not 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 could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

Transport

▶ Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

Disposal of your old appliance

If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
▶ Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

• puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
• bending any pipework, or
• scratching the surface coating.

The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penetrates the airways.

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli- ance

Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with general waste.

Before using for the first time

Packaging material

■ Remove all packaging material from the inside of the appliance.

Cleaning the appliance

Please refer to the relevant instructions in "Cleaning and care".

■ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories.

Switching on

To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for approx. 2 hours before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer until the temperature is at least -18 °C.

Hand holding a button with a power symbol (no text or labels)

■ Press the On/Off button.

The appliance will start to cool and the temperature required will appear in the temperature display. The temperature display and the alarm symbol ⚠️ will flash simultaneously until the required temperature is reached.

Switching off

Hand holding a button with a power symbol (no text or labels)

■ Press the On/Off button until the display goes out. If this does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting further settings - To deactivate the safety lock).

The interior lighting will go out and the cooling process will be switched off.

Switching off for longer periods of time

If, during a long absence, the refrigeration appliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a risk of mould forming inside the appliance.

It is essential to clean the refrigeration appliance.

If the refrigeration appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, observe the following:

■ Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
■ Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the fuse.
■ Defrost the freezer.
■ Clean the refrigeration appliance and leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for long periods, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of bacteria is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the bacteria become active in the food again so it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most bacteria.

The temperature in the refrigeration appliance will rise:

• The more often the appliance door is opened and the longer it is kept open.
• The more food is stored in it.
• The warmer the food is which is being put into it.
• The higher the ambient temperature surrounding the refrigeration appliance. This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

Setting the temperature

Hand holding a thermometer icon with text, likely indicating temperature measurement or warning symbol

■ Press the button for setting the temperature repeatedly until the temperature you want lights up in the temperature display.

The first time you press the button the last temperature set will flash in the display.

The temperature value will change up until the setting for -28 ^ is reached. It will then drop back to the -15 ^ setting.

The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while and will appear in the temperature display.

The temperature in the appliance will now slowly start to adjust to this value.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required temperature for the freezer.

Super freeze function

Switch on Super freeze before putting fresh food into the freezer.

This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.

Super freeze is not necessary:

• when placing food in the freezer that is already frozen.
• when freezing up to 1 kg fresh food daily.

Switching on Super freeze

When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the Super freeze function should be switched on 6 hours beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food, the Super freeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

■ Press the Super freeze button until the symbol ✉ goes out.

The appliance will continue running at normal power.

The appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed.

⚠️ Health risk caused by decomposing food.

If the temperature in the freezer remains above -18 °C for a long time, the frozen food can start to defrost.

This will reduce the storage life of the food.

Check whether the frozen food has started to defrost. If it has, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.

If the temperature in the freezer becomes too warm, the temperature display and the alarm symbol ⚠️ will flash. An alarm will also sound.

The temperature the refrigeration appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.

The audible and visual signals will be activated if:

• You switch on the refrigeration appliance and the temperature in a temperature zone differs greatly from the set temperature.
• A lot of warm room air enters the freezer when you are rearranging or taking out frozen food.
• You are freezing large amounts of food at once.
• You are freezing warm food.
  – There was a mains outage.

- The refrigeration appliance has a fault.

The alarm will stop and the alarm symbol ⚠️ will go out as soon as the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: “Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs”.

The maximum freezing capacity given on the data plate has been calculated according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Standard.

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells, which then shrink. During the defrosting process, only some of this water is re-absorbed by the cells. What this means in practice is that the food loses more moisture. You can see this in the large amount of water that collects around the food when it defrosts.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink less. As there is not so much moisture loss, it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process, and very little water collects around the defrosted food.

Storing frozen food

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check:

– That the packaging is not damaged

- The use-by date

- The temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop.

The length of time food can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18 °C.

■ Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it.

- Put it into the freezer as soon as possible.

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.

Hints on home freezing

• The following types of food are suitable for freezing:
  Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, cakes, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.
• The following types of food are not suitable for freezing:
  Grapes, lettuce, radishes, soured cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
• To retain colour, taste, aroma and vitamin C, vegetables should be blanched before they are frozen. To do so place them portion by portion into boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Remove, and plunge into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack ready for freezing.
• Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer.
• Separate chops, steaks, cutlets etc. with a sheet of plastic freezer film. This prevents them from freezing together in a block.
• Do not salt or season raw food or blanched vegetables before freezing. Cooked food should only be lightly salted and seasoned. Some herbs intensify the taste of food when frozen.

- Placing hot foods or drinks in the freezer causes food that is already frozen to partially thaw and increases energy consumption. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packaging food for freezing

■ Freeze food in portions.

- Suitable packing material

- Plastic freezer bags

– Tubular polythene freezer bags

- Aluminum foil

- Freezer containers

- Unsuitable packing material

- Wrapping paper

- Greaseproof paper

- Cellophane

- Bin bags

- Plastic carrier bags

■ Expel as much air as possible from the packaging.

■ Close the packaging tightly with

- Rubber bands

- Plastic clips

- String

- Freezer tape

Tip: Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.

■ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the appliance

- When freezing more than 1 kg of fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see “Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze – SuperFreeze function”).

This helps food which is already stored in the freezer to stay frozen.

Placing food in the freezer

⚠️ If the food is too heavy, this can cause damage.

Loading food which is too heavy can cause damage to the freezer drawers/glass shelves.

Do not exceed the relevant maximum load:

- freezer drawer = 25 kg - glass shelf = 35 kg

Unfrozen food should not touch frozen food as this will cause frozen food to begin to thaw.

■ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

- Freezing small amounts of food

Place the food in the lower freezer drawers.

■ Place the food flat in the bottom of the freezer drawers so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

- Freezing the maximum amount of food (see data plate)

■ Remove the lowest freezer drawer.

■ Place the frozen goods flat on the bottom of the appliance or in contact with the interior cabinet side walls, so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

Once frozen:

■ Place the frozen goods in the freezer drawer and push it back in.

Storage time for frozen food

The storage life of food is very variable, even at a constant temperature of -18 °C. Decomposition processes also take place in frozen food, albeit at a very reduced speed. For example, fat can become rancid from contact with oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat can be stored approx. twice as long as fatty meat.

The storage times quoted are guide values for the storage life of different food groups in the freezer zone.

Food group Storage	time (Months)
Ice cream 2 to 6
Bread, baked goods 2 to 6
Cheese 2 to 4
Fish, oily 1 to 2
Fish, lean 1 to 5
Sausage, ham 1 to 3
Game, pork 1 to 12
Poultry, beef 2 to 10
Vegetables, fruit 6 to 18
Herbs 6 to 10

For standard freezing results, follow the advice on packaging.

Defrosting frozen goods

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Frozen goods can be defrosted in different ways:

• In a microwave oven
• In an oven using "Fan heat" or the "Defrost" setting
• At room temperature
• In the refrigerator zone (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold)

- In a steam oven

Flat pieces of partially thawed meat or fish can be placed directly into a hot frying pan.

Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken, fish fillets) should not come into contact with other foods while defrosting. Catch the liquid from defrosting and dispose of it carefully.

Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packaging, or in a covered bowl.

Most vegetables can 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.

Cooling drinks quickly

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury and damage.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Removing the drawers and glass plates from the freezer

The drawers can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes.

You can also use the space in the freezer more flexibly. If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass cold plates between the drawers can be removed.

■ Pull out the drawers as far as they will go, and then lift them up and out.
■ Lift the glass plate slightly, pull it forwards and out.

Using accessories

Making ice cubes

Line drawing of a hexagonal grid structure inside a rectangular container (no text or symbols)

■ Fill the ice cube tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
■ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer if it is stuck.

Tip: Ice cubes can be removed easily from the tray by holding it under running water for a short time.

Freezer

The freezer does not defrost automatically.

In normal use, ice and frost will form in the freezer, e.g. on the internal walls. How much ice and frost accumulates in the appliance will depend on the following:

• Whether the freezer door has been opened frequently or left open for a while.
• Whether a large quantity of food has been placed in the freezer at once.
• Whether the humidity in the room has increased.

Too thick a layer of ice will make it hard to remove freezer drawers, and in certain circumstances can prevent the freezer door from closing properly. Too thick a layer of ice also reduces cooling performance and thus increases energy consumption.

■ 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.

Tip: It is best to defrost when only very few or no frozen goods at all are left in the freezer or the humidity level and the ambient temperature in the room are low.

⚠️ Risk of damage from an incorrect defrosting process.

When defrosting the freezer, make sure that you do not damage the evaporator as this would cause irreversible damage to the refrigeration appliance.

Do not scrape off ice and frost. Do not use sharp objects.

Do not use any mechanical or other types of aids which are not recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting process.

Before defrosting

■ Switch on the SuperFreeze function one day before defrosting. This helps the frozen goods to retain the cold reserve for longer when taken out of the freezer.
■ Remove the frozen goods and wrap them in several layers of newspaper or cloths.

Tip: You could also place the frozen goods in a cool box or bag.

■ Store the frozen goods in a cool place until the freezer is ready for use again.
■ Remove all the freezer drawers and glass cold plates (depending on the model) from the freezer.

To defrost

The longer the frozen goods are left out at room temperature, the faster they deteriorate.

Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible.

⚠️ Risk of damage due to heat and moisture ingress.

The steam from a steam cleaner as well as electric heaters and candles can damage plastic and electrical components.

Do not use a steam cleaner, electric heaters or candles to defrost the refrigeration appliance.

Defrosting sprays or de-icers can contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause a build-up of explosive gases and pose a danger to health. Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers.

Ensure that water does not get into the surrounding cabinetry.

■ Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
The cooling system will be switched off.
■ Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the fuse.
■ Leave the freezer door open.

Tip: To speed up defrosting, place two bowls of hot water (not boiling), with plates underneath them, in the freezer. Closing the door in this instance will help retain the warmth and speed up the defrosting process.

■ Remove any loose pieces of ice.
■ Use a sponge or towel to soak up the defrosted water as often as necessary.

After defrosting

■ Clean the freezer, then dry it thoroughly.
■ Close the appliance doors.
■ Reconnect to the mains and switch the refrigeration appliance back on.
■ Switch on the SuperFreeze function so that the freezer can cool down quickly.
■ Once the temperature in the freezer has reached the required temperature, place the frozen goods back in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer.
As soon as the freezer zone reaches a constant temperature of at least -18 °C, press the SuperFreeze button to turn off the function.

Do not let water get into the electronic module or the lighting.

Risk of damage due to moisture s.

The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and and electrical components.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance.

Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.

The data plate located inside the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a fault.

Cleaning agents

Cleaning and conditioning agents used inside the appliance must be food safe.

To avoid damaging all the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:

• cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
• cleaning agents containing descaling agents
• abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners
• solvent-based cleaning agents
  – stainless steel cleaning agents
• dishwasher cleaner
• oven sprays
• glass cleaning agents
  – hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers
• melamine eraser blocks
• sharp metal scrapers

We recommend using a clean sponge, lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid to clean surfaces of the appliance.

The following pages contain important information on cleaning.

Preparing the refrigeration appliance for cleaning

■ Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
The display goes out and the cooling function is switched off.
■ Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the mains fuse.
■ Take any food out of the refrigeration appliance and store it in a cool place.
■ Defrost the freezer (see "Defrosting").
■ Take out all other removable parts for cleaning.

Cleaning the interior and accessories

The refrigeration appliance should be defrosted and cleaned regularly, or at least twice a year.

Remove soiling immediately to prevent it from drying on.

The best time to do so is when:

– There is very little or no frozen food left in the freezer zone.
- The humidity level in the room is low and the ambient temperature in the room is also low (cooler part of the year).
■ Clean the interior with a clean sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid.
■ After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

The following parts cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher:

- the freezer drawers

■ These accessories should all be hand washed.

The following parts are suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher:

The maximum temperature of the dishwashing programme selected must not exceed 55 °C.

Contact with natural dyes from carrots, tomatoes and ketchup may discolour the plastic parts in the dishwasher.

This discolouration does not affect the stability of the parts.

• the adjustable shelves (with the trim and strips removed)
• the ice cube tray
  ■ Leave the door open to air the appliance for a short while and to prevent odours building up.

Cleaning the door seal

Risk of damage as a result of in-ct cleaning.

If you treat the door seal with oils or grease, it can become porous.

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal.

■ The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water and then wiped dry with a cloth.

Cleaning the ventilation gaps

A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

■ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the dusting brush for Miele vacuum cleaners)

After cleaning

■ Slide all shelves back into the appliance.
■ Close the appliance door.
■ Reconnect to the mains and switch the appliance back on.
■ Switch on the Super freeze function so that the freezer can cool down quickly.
■ 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.
■ When the temperature in the freezer is a constant -18^ or colder press the Super freeze button to switch the Super freeze function off.

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be needed.

Installation

Location

⚠️ Danger of damage and injury due to the refrigeration appliance tipping over.

This refrigeration appliance must be built in, otherwise it could tip over. Keep the appliance door(s) shut until the refrigeration appliance has been built in and secured in its housing in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

⚠️ Fire risk and risk of damage from appliances which give off heat.

Appliances which give off heat can catch fire and set fire to the refrigeration appliance.

This refrigeration appliance must not be installed underneath a hob.

This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room.

When deciding where to install your refrigeration appliance, please bear in mind that it will use more energy if installed near to a heater, a cooker or other appliance that gives off heat. Direct sunlight should also be avoided. The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor runs and the higher the energy consumption is.

When installing the refrigeration appli- ance, please note:

- The socket must be easily accessible in an emergency, not concealed behind the appliance.

- The plug and power cable must not touch the rear of the refrigeration appliance as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.

- Do not plug in other appliances behind this refrigeration appliance.

⚠️ Risk of damage due to high humidity.

In environments with high humidity, condensation can build up on external refrigeration appliance panels, which can cause corrosion.

Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation.

After installation, make sure that the appliance door closes properly, the ventilation gaps are not covered and that the refrigeration appliance has been installed in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

Climate range

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient temperature) and should not be used outside this range.

Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the compressor to switch off for too long, causing the temperature inside the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

The climate range is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Climate range Ambient room temperature

SN +10 to +32 °C

N +16 to +32 °C

ST +16 to +38 °C

T +16 to +43 °C

A freezer from the SN climate range can operate without any difficulties in rooms with a cooler ambient temperature (down to +5 °C).

Ventilation

⚠️ If the ventilation gaps given are not observed, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods.

This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the compressor.

It is essential to observe the ventilation gaps given.

Air at the back of the appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see “Building-in dimensions”).

≥200 cm² (40 mm) ≥500 mm ≥500 mm (40 mm) ≥200 cm² ① ②

• Air intake ① occurs via the plinth at the bottom of the appliance and the air escapes at the top ② at the back of the housing unit.
• A ventilation gap of at least 40 mm depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate.

- The ventilation cross-sections in the plinth, housing unit and above the appliance must each provide an un-obstructed airflow of at least 200~cm^2 to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance.

If ventilation grilles are to be inserted into the ventilation gaps, the ventilation gaps must be larger than 200 cm^2 . The unobstructed airflow of 200 cm^2 is calculated by adding up the total area of ventilation openings in the grilles.

- Important! The appliance uses less energy, the larger the ventilation gaps.

The air inlet and outlet must not be covered or blocked in any way. They must also be regularly cleaned of dust.

Top ventilation gap

The ventilation gap at the top of the appliance can be constructed in different ways:

Diagram illustrating three stages of a refrigeration or ventilation system with directional arrows indicating flow and movement.

① directly above the appliance with a ventilation grille (free airflow of at least 200 cm ^4 )
② between the kitchen furniture and the ceiling
③ in a suspended ceiling

Furniture door panel

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen furniture the thickness and edge radius of the furniture door and the gap that runs around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified.

It is essential to pay attention to the following!

- Horizontal gap

The gap between the appliance furniture door and the housing unit door above or below it must be at least 3 mm.

- Vertical gap

If the gap between the appliance furniture door and the adjoining housing unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing unit door or wall when opened. It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the thickness and edge radius of the appliance furniture door.

This must be taken into consideration when planning your kitchen and when replacing an old appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.

Tip: Fit a spacer between the housing unit carcase and the side wall. This way you will get a sufficiently wide gap.

Weight of the furniture door

⚠️ If the furniture door panel is too heavy, this can cause damage.

Fitting a furniture door panel which is heavier than the maximum permitted weight could damage the hinges.

This can cause subsequent functional problems.

Before fitting a furniture door, ensure that the weight of the door does not exceed the maximum permitted:

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single-phase 220–240 V 50 Hz supply.

The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.

This appliance must be connected to a suitable switched socket. The electrical installation must be in compliance with current local and national safety regulations, (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany / BS 7671 in the UK).

The socket must not be concealed behind the appliance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency.

If the socket is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm. These include miniature circuit breakers, fuses and contactors (EN 60335).

The mains plug and mains connection cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This could result in a short circuit.

Do not plug in other appliances behind this appliance.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not connect the appliance to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power.

When the appliance is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This could damage the electronic module. The appliance must not be used with so-called energy saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.

If the mains cable needs to be replaced, this must be performed by a qualified electrician.
