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 refrigerant 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 a combustible gas/air mixture building up. For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m³ of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration 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.

Do not place refrigeration appliances directly next to or on top of one another.

Climate range

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.

A lower room temperature leads to the compressor switching off for longer periods. This can cause the internal temperature in the refrigeration appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration 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 refrigeration appliance from the SN climate range can operate without any difficulties in rooms with a cooler ambient temperature (down to +5 °C).

Ventilation

⚠️ Risk of fire and damage due to insufficient ventilation.

If the refrigeration appliance is not ventilated sufficiently, 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.

Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the refrigeration appliance.

It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps.

The ventilation gaps must not be covered or blocked in any way.

They must also be regularly dusted.

Air at the back of the refrigeration appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see “Installation dimensions” and the installation instructions provided).

Furniture door (valid for KD(N) 7714 E, KD(N) 7724 E)

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen furniture, the thickness and edge radius of the furniture door panel 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 furniture door panel and the housing unit door above or below it must be at least 3 mm.

- Vertical gap

If the gap between the refrigeration appliance furniture door panel 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 refrigeration appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.

Health risk caused by decomposing food.

The preset temperature of 4 °C in the refrigerator section results in -18 °C in the freezer section.

Please note that if the temperature in the refrigerator section is any warmer, the temperature in the freezer section will exceed -18 °C.

To freeze fresh food in the freezer section, a temperature of -18 °C is required.

If the temperature in the freezer section is any warmer, the food will also have a shorter shelf life.

The higher or lower the temperature in the refrigerator section, the higher or lower it is in the freezer section.

Possible temperature settings

- Refrigerator section: 2 to 8 °C

If you change the temperature setting:

- Check the temperature again after a few hours. It will take this long for the appliance to give an accurate reading.

- Wait for approx. 6 hours if the refrigeration appliance is not very full

- Wait for approx. 24 hours if the refrigeration appliance is full

If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low:

■ Adjust the temperature again.

Party mode (SuperCool/Super-Freeze) ✿

When the Party mode function ✿ is switched on, the temperature in the refrigerator section and freezer section will rapidly reduce to the lowest setting (depending on the ambient temperature). The refrigeration appliance will work at full power and lower the temperature.

The Party mode function ✦ is recommended if you wish to chill or freeze large amounts of fresh food or drink quickly.

Tip: Also select the Party mode function ✿ before freezing fresh food. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.

When the Party mode function ✿ is switched on, the appliance may make more noise than usual.

Tip: Switch on the Party mode function ✿ approx. 4–6 hours before placing food or drinks in the appliance.

The Party mode function ✦ will switch itself off automatically after approx. 50 hours. However, you can switch the Party mode function ✦ off early at any time.

If there is a power cut, the Party mode function ✿ is switched off.

Switching the Party mode function ✦ on and off

■ Touch the SuperCool/SuperFreeze (Party mode) ✧ sensor control to switch the function on and off again.

The refrigeration appliance is fitted with a warning system to avoid increased energy consumption and food becoming warm if the appliance door is left open.

The alarm tone will sound if one of the appliance doors is left open for more than a couple of minutes.

The interior lighting will flash after approx. 10 minutes.

As soon as the appliance door is closed, the alarm tone will stop.

Switching the door alarm off early

If the alarm tone annoys you, it can be turned off early.

■ Touch the 🔊 sensor control.

The alarm tone will stop.

⚠️ Risk of explosion due to flammable mixes of gases.

Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.

Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). The spray cans in question can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a flame symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ignite.

⚠️ Risk of damage due to greasy or oily foods.

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

Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts of the refrigeration appliance.

If there is insufficient air circulation, the cooling performance will decrease and energy consumption will increase.

To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the appliance.

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature regions in the refrigerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the refrigeration section. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigerator section is at the top in the front area and in the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator section is in the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer and at the back of the appliance.

Use these areas to store all delicate and highly perishable food such as:

• Fish, meat, poultry
• Cold cuts, ready meals
• Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
• Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough

Raw milk cheese and other raw milk products

Pre-packed vegetables

Other fresh food (with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4 °C)

Tip: Store food in such a way that it does not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator section. Otherwise it could freeze to the rear wall.

Temperature indicator for the coldest area

The temperature indicator for the coldest area is located on the left-hand or right-hand inside wall in the coldest area of the refrigerator section. You can use the temperature indicator to check the temperature in this area for your delicate and highly perishable food. If the temperature settings are correct, the lowest average temperature will be in the coldest area (between the temperature indicator and the shelf below). This low temperature, combined with appropriate hygiene measures, delays the propagation of bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria, which can lead to serious food poisoning.

After initial commissioning of the refrigeration appliance, it may take up to 12 hours before the desired temperature is reached.

The temperature indicator will not display an accurate reading if the appliance door is opened frequently or for long periods. Do not keep the appliance door open for long periods. Check the temperature indicator again after a few hours.

Temperature indicator display

If the temperature indicator is white and the text “OK” is visible, the temperature is set correctly. Your delicate and highly perishable food will be refrigerated properly in this area.

If the temperature indicator is black and the text "OK" is not visible, the temperature is too high. Lower the temperature.

If the room temperature fluctuates significantly, check the temperature indicator more frequently. If necessary, adjust the temperature again.

Tip: If the temperature indicator remains light black even when the temperature is set as low as possible, contact the Customer Service Department. The temperature indicator is damaged and correct storage of your delicate and highly perishable food cannot be ensured.

Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C, because it may be sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance, consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.

Food which is sensitive to cold includes:

• Pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit
• Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
• Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes
• Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan, mountain cheese)

Notes on buying food

The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh.

Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature.

Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in the DailyFresh drawer). This will prevent food odours from affecting other food, stop food from drying out and also prevent any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is particularly important when storing meat products. Make sure that food such as raw meat and fish in particular does not come into contact with other food.

By ensuring that the temperature settings are correct and by taking appropriate hygiene measures, you can prolong the storage life of your food considerably. This prevents food waste.

Protein-rich food

Please note that food rich in protein deteriorates faster than other types of food. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer

The DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer has a temperature of approx. 0 °C when a temperature of 2 °C has been set in the refrigerator section.

The humidity in the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer is not increased and cannot be regulated.

The DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer is ideal for storing food which goes off quickly, such as:

• Fresh fish and shellfish
• Meat, poultry and sausage
• Deli salads
• Dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, cream, etc.
• You can also store any other type of food in the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer, as long as it is packaged.

The temperature in the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer is approx. 0 °C. If the temperature in the refrigerator section is low, minus temperatures may be reached in the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer. This can cause food to freeze.

Adjust the temperature setting if necessary.

Please note that food rich in protein deteriorates faster than other types of food.

Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

For hygiene reasons, always keep these foods covered or wrapped.

The DailyFresh drawer provides good storage conditions for fruit and vegetables.

The humidity level in the DailyFresh drawer can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. Food retains its own moisture if stored at a higher humidity and so does not dry out as quickly. The temperature is approximately equivalent to the temperature in the fridge zone.

Remember that the fresher the food when placed in the appliance, the longer it will stay fresh.

Storing food in the DailyFresh zone

Changing the humidity level in the DailyFresh drawer

The humidity level in the DailyFresh drawer largely depends on the type and quantity of food being stored, if stored unwrapped. If the quantity of food being stored in this compartment is small, the humidity level may be too low.

Tip: If you are only storing a small amount of food, wrap it in airtight packaging.

Selecting low humidity

■ Slide the control to the right.

The compartment cover is open and the humidity drops.

■ Always select this setting if:

• A large amount of food is being stored in the drawer.
• Different types of food are being stored in the drawer.
• Most of the food being stored in the drawer is fruit.
• The humidity level in the DailyFresh drawer is too high.

Selecting increased humidity:

■ Slide the control to the left.

The compartment cover is closed and the humidity remains in the compartment.

■ Select this setting if:

• A small amount of food is being stored in the drawer.
• Most of the food being stored in the drawer is vegetables.
• The humidity level in the DailyFresh drawer is too low.

Increased moisture in the DailyFresh drawer can, in some circumstances, cause a build-up of condensate.

If you find that too much condensate has formed and this is affecting the food, proceed as follows:

Wipe off any condensate with a cleaning cloth.

Open the compartment lid by moving it to the low humidity position.

Observe the following tips 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 place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness. ■ Clean the DailyFresh drawer before storing food in it. ■ Very wet food should be dried off before storing it. - Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the DailyFresh drawer (see “Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section”). ■ Set the compartment cover to the correct position for the food being stored (humidity not increased or humidity increased). ■ An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if it is stored unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity. If too much moisture collects in the compartment at the setting and the food is affected, dry the base and place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drip down. Alternatively, reduce the humidity by sliding the control to the right. ■ If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight packaging.

Freezing fresh food

⚠️ 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, then use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.

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.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink significantly 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.

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”.

Storing frozen food

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

• That the packaging is not damaged
• The use-by date
• That the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop is -18 °C or colder

■ Where possible, transport frozen food in an insulated bag and then store it quickly in the refrigeration appliance.

Home freezing

Before placing food in the freezer

• When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Party mode function ❖ for approx. 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer (see “Using Party mode (SuperCool/ SuperFreeze)”). This helps the frozen food which is already stored in the freezer to stay frozen. ■ Only freeze fresh food which is in good condition.

Please note that some food is not suitable for freezing. This includes, for example, vegetables that are usually eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.

Tip: To retain colour, taste, aroma and vitamin C, vegetables should be blanched before they are frozen. To do so, place vegetables portion by portion into boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Then remove and plunge the vegetables into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave the vegetables to drain.

Packaging food for freezing

■ Freeze food in portions.

Tip: Use suitable packaging to avoid freezer burn (such as freezer containers).

■ Expel as much air as possible from the packaging and close it tightly. ■ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

Placing frozen food in the freezer

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

If the ventilation slots are blocked, the cooling performance will decrease and energy consumption will increase.

When placing food in the freezer, make sure that the ventilation slots are not blocked.

■ To prevent food sticking together when frozen, make sure that the packaging and containers are dry. ■ Fill the top freezer drawer with food first. This is where food freezes the quickest. ■ Always place the food as close as possible to the drawer walls so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. ■ Then transfer to freezer bags or containers and place in the other freezer drawers.

Always push in the freezer drawer as far as it will go to allow the air to circulate freely in the refrigeration appliance.

The freezing process is complete approx. 24 hours after placing food in the freezer.

- VarioRoom: freezing the maximum amount of food (see data plate)

Tip: You can expand the space available in the freezer section. If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the freezer drawers can be removed.

■ Remove the upper freezer drawers and place the food in the freezer drawer below or directly on the base of the freezer section.

Once frozen:

■ Switch off the Party mode function ❖. ■ Place the frozen food flat in the freezer drawers. ■ Place the freezer drawers back in the refrigeration appliance by pushing the guide into the holder on the left and right.

Storage time for frozen food

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

The storage times given are guidelines only.

For standard freezing results, follow the advice on packaging.

By keeping the freezer zone at a constant temperature of -18\ °C and taking appropriate hygiene measures you can maximise the storage life of your food and avoid food waste.

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.

Using accessories

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 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 twisting the tray gently or by holding it under cold running water for a short time.

Fridge zone

The refrigerator section defrosts automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this.

The condensate drains through a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. The warmth generated by the compressor causes the condensate to evaporate automatically.

Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this. Condensate must be able to drain away unhindered at all times.

Freezer zone

Freezer section

The appliance is equipped with a "NoFrost" system. The freezer defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated in the appliance collects on the condenser and is automatically defrosted and dissipated from time to time.

This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free. Food stored in the freezer will not defrost with this system.

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.

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

Risk of damage due to moisture.

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

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

Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.

Cleaning agents

Cleaning and conditioning agents used in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance must be food safe.

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

• Cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
• Cleaning agents containing descaling agents
• Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. scouring powder, scouring liquid or pumice stones)
• Cleaning agents containing solvents
• Stainless steel cleaners
• Dishwasher cleaner
• Oven sprays
• Glass cleaning agents
• Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes (e.g., pot scourers)
• Eraser stain remover blocks
• Sharp metal scrapers

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

Preparing the refrigeration appliance for cleaning

■ Switch the refrigeration appliance off. ■ Take any food out of the refrigeration appliance and store it in a cool place. ■ Take out any removable parts for cleaning.

Cleaning the inside of the appliance

The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (at least once a month).

If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove under certain circumstances. Surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately.

■ Clean the interior with a clean sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. ■ Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash in a dishwasher. ■ After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. ■ Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently using a cotton swab or similar item to ensure that condensate can drain away freely. ■ Leave the door open to air the refrigeration appliance sufficiently for a short while and to prevent odour build-up.

Removing and dismantling accessories for cleaning

Dismantling the door shelf/bottle shelf

To remove the stainless steel trim, proceed as follows:

■ Place the door shelf/bottle shelf on the worktop. ■ Pull the trim off the shelf, beginning at one side. ■ After cleaning the door shelf/bottle shelf, reattach the trim.

Dismantling an adjustable shelf

Place the shelf on a worktop covered with a soft material (e.g., a tea towel).

Before cleaning the shelf, remove the plastic trim and protective strip at the back of the shelf as follows:

1. First pull the plastic trim off, starting from one side.
2. Then pull the protective strip off. After cleaning the shelf, reattach the plastic trim and the protective strip.

Removing the drawers

Pull the drawer forwards and out.

Removing the compartment cover on the DailyFresh drawer

Remove the DailyFresh drawer. Lift the compartment cover at the front and pull it out. After cleaning, slide the compartment cover back in again.

Cleaning the door seal

Risk of damage as a result of incorrect 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 soft 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 (you could use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting brush, for example).

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigeration appliance. Switch the refrigeration appliance on. Switch on the Party mode function for a while so that the refrigerator section and freezer section can cool down quickly. Place food in the refrigerator section and close the appliance door. Once the freezer section has reached the required temperature, place the frozen food back in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer section. Switch the Party mode function off as soon as the temperature in the freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.
