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 a long time, a temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is required. At this temperature the growth of bacteria is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above 14°F (-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 (boiled or roasted), as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most bacteria.

The temperature in the appliance will rise:

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

Setting the temperature

Touch the 🔊 sensor control to set the temperature.

The previously set temperature will appear.

Use the + and - sensor controls to set the temperature. Keeping your finger on the sensor control changes the temperature continuously. Confirm the temperature setting with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after the last touch of the sensor. This temperature will be automatically adopted.

Tip: The new temperature setting can also be confirmed and adopted by closing the appliance door.

The temperature display always shows the required temperature.

If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approximately 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approximately 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.

If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from 7° F ( -14° C) to -11° F ( -24° C).

The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature.

If the ambient temperature is too high, the appliance may not reach the lowest temperature.

SuperFrost function

For best results, turn on the SuperFrost function before putting fresh food into the freezer.

Fresh food will be frozen quickly, so that the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance, and taste are maintained.

Exceptions:

• Placing food in the freezer that is already frozen.
• When freezing up to 4.4 lb (2 kg) of fresh food daily.

Turning on SuperFrost

SuperFrost should be turned on 4–6 hours before placing food in the freezer. When freezing the maximum amount of food, the SuperFrost function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

Touch the 🔊 sensor control to set the temperature. Touch the ✿ sensor control to switch the SuperFrost function on.

The ⚙ symbol is highlighted in color and the newly set temperature value of -22°F (-30°C) appears in the display.

Confirm the setting with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after the last press of the button. The setting will be automatically adopted.

The ⚙ symbol will light up on the temperature display.

The appliance will now run at maximum power.

Turning off SuperFrost

Touch the 🔊 sensor control to set the temperature.

The ⚙ symbol is highlighted in color and the temperature value of -22°F (-30°C) is shown in the display.

Touch the ✿ sensor control to switch the SuperFrost function off.

The ⚙ symbol is no longer highlighted in color and the previous temperature setting appears again on the display.

Confirm the setting with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after the last press of the button. The setting will be automatically adopted.

The ⚙ symbol disappears from the temperature display.

The refrigeration appliance will continue running at normal power.

If you do not turn off the SuperFrost function, it will turn itself off automatically after approx. 54 hours. The quantity of fresh food placed in the freezer will determine the duration before the SuperFrost function turns off. The appliance will then run at normal power again.

Tip: To save energy, you should manually switch off the SuperFrost function once the freezer zone reaches a constant temperature of 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Monitor the temperature in the freezer zone.

The appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open.

Temperature alarm

The Freezer temperature too high. Max. temperature °C message appears in the display if the temperature in the freezer zone becomes too warm. An alarm will also sound.

The temperature display will show the highest temperature that was reached during the time the temperature rose.

The audible and visual signals are triggered, for example:

• When the appliance is switched on and the temperature in the appliance differs greatly from the set temperature.
• If a lot of warm room air enters the freezer when frozen food is being loaded, rearranged, or taken out.
• When large amounts of food are frozen at once.
• When freezing fresh food which is still warm.
• After an extended power failure.

The alarm will be silenced and the message on the display will go out as soon as the reason for the alarm has been resolved.

⚠️ Health risk caused by decomposing food.

If the temperature in the freezer remains above 0° F ( -18° C) for a long time, the frozen food may start to defrost. This will reduce the storage life of the food.

Check whether the frozen food has started to defrost. If it has, use the food as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.

Turning the temperature alarm off early

Before you switch the temperature alarm off, you must determine the cause and rectify it.

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

■ Touch the OK sensor.

Push the upper freezer basket all the way back in.

Always observe USDA food safety guidelines.

Risk of fire from electrical appliances

Operating electrical devices in the appliance can cause sparks to form. Do not operate any electrical devices inside the appliance.

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 ... lbs/24 hrs".

What happens when you freeze fresh food?

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible so that the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and flavor are maintained.

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 must only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

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

• that the packaging is not damaged
• the expiration date
• the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the store. The length of time food can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than 0°F (-18°C). Buy frozen food at the very end of your shopping trip. Store it in the freezer compartment as soon as possible.

Home freezing

Only freeze food that is fresh and in good condition.

Tips for home freezing

• The following types of food are suitable for home freezing: fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, baked goods, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites, and a range of pre-cooked meals.
• The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, whole eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
• To retain color, 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. Then, remove and plunge the vegetables into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave the vegetables to drain.
• 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 to prevent them from freezing together in a block.
• Do not season raw food or blanched vegetables with herbs or salt before freezing. Cooked food should only be lightly seasoned. The flavor of some herbs intensifies when frozen.

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

Packaging food for freezing

■ Freeze food in portions.

- Suitable packaging

- Plastic films

- Freezer bags

- Aluminum foil

- Freezer containers

- Unsuitable packaging

- Packing paper

- Parchment paper

- Cellophane

- Garbage bags

- Plastic shopping bags

■ Remove as much air as possible from the packaging before sealing.

Close the packaging tightly with

rubber bands,

bag clips,

string or bag ties, or

freezer tape.

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

Label the packaging with the contents and the date of freezing.

Before placing food in the freezer

When freezing more than 4.4 lb (2 kg) of fresh food, switch on the Super-Frost function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see “SuperFrost”).

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

Placing food in the freezer

Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer zone. Preferably freeze food in the top freezer basket, as this is the best location for quick and gentle freezing.

Place the food flat in the bottom of the basket so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. Ensure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them from freezing together or to the walls. Slide the freezer baskets in as far as they will go. Please follow the guidelines in the table below regarding recommended weights for the baskets:

	Upper freezer basket	Lower freezer basket
F 2412 Vi/SF 2	6.5 lb(12 kg)	26.5 lb(12 kg)
F 28x2 Vi/SF 6	2 lb(28 kg)	62 lb(28 kg)
F 29x2 Vi/SF 7	9 lb(36 kg)	79 lb(36 kg)

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

Storage time for frozen food

The storage life of food is very variable, even at a constant temperature of 0° F ( -18° C). Decomposition processes also take place in frozen food, albeit at a very reduced speed. Fat can become rancid from contact with oxygen in the air, for example. 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	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

Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the 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 food can be defrosted in different ways:

• In a microwave
• In an oven using “Convection” or the “Defrost” setting
• At room temperature
• In the Fridge 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 skillet.

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

Fruit can be thawed at room temperature, either in the packaging or in a covered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot grease. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables due to changes in the cell structure.

Cooling drinks quickly

When chilling drinks in the freezer, make sure that bottles are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.

For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to a water supply (see “Installation – Water supply”).

Risk to health due to contaminated water.

Consuming polluted water can lead to illnesses.

The first 3 batches of ice cubes made after the ice cube maker is started up must not be consumed, as the water will have been used for the initial rinsing of the water supply line.

This applies to the initial commissioning as well as when using the appliance again after it has been turned off for a long while.

Turning on the ice maker

■ Make sure that the ice cube container is correctly located underneath the ice maker. In Settings mode ⚙, use the < and > sensor controls to select the Dispenser Unit and select OK to confirm your selection. ■ Use the < and > sensor controls to select On and select OK to confirm your selection.

Once the freezer zone has cooled down to its set temperature, the ice maker will fill with water.

As soon as the water is frozen, the ice cubes drop out of the ice maker into the ice cube container.

Ice cube production is halted automatically as soon as the ice cube container is full.

The ice maker can make up to approx. 3 lb (1.3 kg) of ice cubes in 24 hours.

The amount of ice cubes made by the appliance depends on the temperature in the freezer zone. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes are produced.

After the setting up the appliance for the first time, it can take up to 10 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice maker and collect in the ice cube container.

Risk of damage due to blocking ice maker.

The ice maker could become blocked and, as a result, be damaged.

Do not place any bottles or food into the ice cube container to chill them quickly.

Empty the ice cube container at regular intervals, or at least if you have not produced any ice for more than a week. This will ensure that you always have fresh ice and the ice cubes will not form a clump.

Ice cube production does not stop when the ice cube container has been removed. Ice cubes can fall into the freezer basket underneath.

Only remove the ice cube container for the shortest possible time or switch off the ice maker before removing it.

Turning off the ice maker

The ice maker can be turned off independently of the freezer zone if you do not want to make any ice cubes.

■ Close the faucet in the water supply line (approx. 3 hours before switching off the appliance to avoid the build-up of bacteria caused by stagnant water). In Settings mode ⚙, use the < and > sensor controls to select the Dispenser Unit and select OK to confirm your selection. ■ Use the < and > sensor controls to select Off and select OK to confirm your selection.

⚠ WARNING! DANGER of injury and damage!

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

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 evaporates periodically.

This automatic defrosting system enables the Freezer Zone to remain permanently ice-free. However, the food stored in the freezer will not defrost.

WARNING! DANGER of electric

Unplug the appliance or trip the circuit breaker.

WARNING! Fire hazard!

Do not damage the coolant pipework.

Do not let water get into the electronic 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.

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 service call.

■ Clean the appliance with a solution of lukewarm water and liquid dish soap. Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash in a dishwasher. ■ After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. ■ Leave the door open to air the appliance sufficiently for a short while and to prevent odor buildup.

Aluminum frames

The frames to the shelves inside the appliance and the door shelves are partially made from aluminum.

Aluminum is a dynamic material. The reflection and appearance of aluminum changes in different lights and environments and depending on the angle you observe it from. It is also susceptible to scratching.

The aluminum frames may become discolored or damaged if soiling is left on for too long. Remove any soiling immediately.

Appliance front

The appliance front has a special high-quality finish (Clean Touch Steel). This is resistant to soiling and is very easy to clean.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agent on these surfaces, as it will damage the finish.

Do not use Miele stainless steel conditioning agent on these surfaces, as it will cause noticeable smearing.

If soiling is allowed to sit for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove.

Surfaces may become discolored or damaged.

It is therefore best to remove soiling from the appliance front immediately.

All surfaces are easily scratched. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolor the surfaces.

See the information on “Cleaning agents” at the beginning of this section.

■ Clean the surfaces with a clean sponge and a solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. A clean, damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent can also be used for cleaning. ■ After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the door seal

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

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

Do not use oil or grease on the door seal.

The door seals 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 dust brush, for example).

Cleaning the water filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter) (see "Optional accessories")

Depending on the quantity of ice cubes produced, the IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter must be cleaned approx. every 6 months.

You can use the Replace the water filter display on the display as a reminder to clean the water filter.

Turn the cap of the filter cartridge counterclockwise until it is in the vertical position 1. and slide it out of the filter opening 2.

Risk of damage caused by water rushing out.

If the filter cartridge is not inserted correctly, there is a risk of water leaking out of the appliance.

When inserting the filter cartridge, be sure to turn it as far as the marker.

Once the IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter has been cleaned, the Water Filter Display must be reset using Settings mode on the display (see "Selecting additional settings – Resetting the Water Filter Display").

After cleaning

■ Replace all shelves and accessories in the appliance. ■ Switch the refrigeration appliance back on. ■ Switch on the SuperFrost function for a while so that the freezer zone can cool down quickly. ■ Once the freezer zone has reached the required temperature, place the freezer baskets containing the frozen food back in the freezer zone. ■ Switch off the SuperFrost function as soon as the temperature in the freezer zone is a constant 0°F (-18°C) or colder.

The appliance is supplied with a water filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter) that filters supply water for making ice cubes.

The IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter improves the taste and smell of the ice cubes by removing chlorine and other substances from supply water.

However, to ensure the highest quality of the ice cubes, it is essential to change the IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter regularly.

Please note:

• If an external water filter is attached to your household water supply, use an IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter in place of an IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter (see Accessories – Optional accessories").
• After inserting a new water filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter and IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter), dispose of all ice cubes produced in the next 24 hours following the change.
• If you have not used the appliance or the ice maker much in the last few weeks or months, or if the ice cubes smell unpleasant, replace the IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter or clean the IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filter.

New water filters (IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh filters and IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filters) are available from Miele Customer Service, from your dealer, or via the internet.

Depending on the quantity of ice cubes produced, the IntensiveClear 2.0 charcoal filter must be changed approx. every 6 months.

Replace the water filter will appear on the display.

With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting the Service Department.

This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.

To prevent cold from escaping, open the appliance doors as little as possible until the fault has been corrected.

Problem Possible cause	and solution
If you are concerned that your appliance is not working properly, you can perform a Self Test. Your appliance will be checked for any faults or malfunctions.	Any errors identified during the Self Test are shown on the display.■ Perform a Self Test (see “Additional settings”, section “Performing a Self Test ☑”).■ Contact Miele Service and inform them of the error message(s) on the display.
The appliance is not getting cold and the interior lighting does not come on when the appliance door is opened.	The appliance has not been turned on.■ Turn the appliance on. The temperature appears in the display.
	The plug is not properly plugged into the electrical outlet.■ Insert the plug into the outlet.
	The fuse has tripped. There could be a fault with the appliance, the household electrical wiring, or another appliance.■ Contact a technician or the Miele Service department.
The compressor is turning on more frequently and for longer periods of time; the temperature in the refrigeration appliance is too low.	The ventilation gaps in the cabinetry have been covered or become too dusty.■ Do not block the ventilation gaps.■ Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any dust.
	The appliance door has been opened too frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been placed inside or frozen at the same time.■ Only open the appliance door when necessary and for as short a time as possible.After a while, the temperature will return to normal by itself.
	The appliance door is not properly closed.A thick layer of ice may have already formed in the freezer zone.■ Close the appliance door.After a while, the temperature will return to normal by itself.If a thick layer of ice has already formed, this will affect cooling and increase energy consumption.■ Defrost the appliance and clean it.
	The ambient temperature is too high. The higher the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor has to run.■ See the information in the section on “Installation – Installation location”.
	The refrigeration appliance was not properly installed in the building-in niche.■ See the information in “Installation” and “Installing the refrigeration appliance”.
The compressor is turning on more frequently and for longer periods of time; the temperature in the appliance is too low.	The temperature setting is too low.■ Correct the temperature setting.
	A large amount of food was put in for freezing at once.■ See the information in the section on “Freezing and storing food”.
	The SuperFrost function is still turned on.■ To save energy, you can switch the SuperFrost function off early yourself.
The compressor comes on less and less often and for shorter periods of time. The temperature in the appliance rises.	This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too high.■ Correct the temperature setting.■ Check the temperature again after 24 hours.
	The food begins to thaw.The ambient temperature is too low for this appli-ance.If the ambient temperature is too low, the compres-sor will run less frequently. This may cause the freezer to become too warm.■ See the information in the section on “Installation – Installation location”.■ Increase the ambient temperature.
The compressor runs continuously.	Not a fault. To save energy, the compressor runs at a lower speed when less cooling is required. This increases the compressor run time.
Food has frozen together or to the wall.	The food packaging was not dry when loaded in the freezer.■ Use a blunt instrument (such as a spoon handle) to carefully pry them apart.
An alarm sounds. The appliance does not open for longer than 3 minutes.■ Close the appliance door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Problem Possible cause	and solution
