Warning sign depicting a flame symbol in yellow and black on white background

This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is combustible, it 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 open flames or anything which creates a spark.
• Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply.
• Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.
• Contact Miele Customer Service.

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 11 g of coolant, at least 1 m ^3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

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.

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 appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed

... in the fridge zone and in the MasterFresh zone

We recommend a temperature of 39^ F ( 4^ C) in the fridge zone.

The temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone is regulated automatically and is maintained just above 0^ C ( 32^ F) at a fridge-zone temperature of 4^ C ( 37^ F).

Please note that if the temperature in the fridge zone is any warmer, the temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone will rise as well.

This is also the case if you switch on the Eco Mode and Vacation functions, for example.

Automatic cold air circulation (Dyna-Cool)

The fan automatically turns on when the cooling system for the refrigerator section turns on. It distributes the temperature in the refrigerator section to all areas evenly so that all the food inside will be chilled to about the same degree.

... in the Freezer Zone

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.

Setting the temperature

■ Touch the 🔊 symbol for setting the temperature.
The previously set temperatures of the Fridge and Freezer Zones are displayed.
■ Use the < and > arrow buttons to select the temperature zone for which you want to adjust the temperature and touch OK to confirm your selection.
■ Set the temperature you want with the + and - sensor controls. 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 newly set temperature 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 36^ F ( 2^ C) to 46^ F ( 8^ C) in the Fridge Zone
• From 7^ F ( -14^ C) to -11^ F ( -24^ C) in the Freezer Zone

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.

The appliance will then run at normal power again.

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

Your appliance is equipped with a warning system to ensure that temperature increases in the freezer section do not go unnoticed and also prevents energy from being wasted when a 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.

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.

⚠️ Risk of explosion due to flammable mixes of gases.

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

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

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones 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.

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

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

Do not cover the fan in the rear wall of the appliance.

Tip: Do not store food in such a way that it touches the rear wall of the refrigerator section as it may freeze to the rear wall.

This appliance has DynamicCooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. When DynamicCooling is turned on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigerator section is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and cheese so that it retains its flavor.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the fridge zone is directly above the MasterFresh zone and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone is even colder.

Use this area in the fridge zone and in the dry compartment of the Master-Fresh zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.:

• fish, meat, poultry
• cold cuts, ready-made meals
• dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
• fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza dough, or pie dough
• raw milk cheese and other raw milk products
• pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a best-before date that requires storage at a temperature of at least 39^ F ( 4^ C)

Tip: This compartment is ideal for all home-cooked meals as any micro-organisms that may still be present cannot multiply.

Food which is not suitable for storage in the fridge zone

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 40^ F ( 5^ C) because it is sensitive to cold.

Foods which are sensitive to cold include:

• pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits
• fruit (which is not yet ripe)
• eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini
• hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)

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 fridge, 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 MasterFresh zone). This will prevent food smells from affecting other food, food from drying out, and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is particularly important when storing meat products. Make sure that foods such as raw meat and fish in particular do 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 and avoid food waste.

MastertFresh zone

The MastertFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavor and vitamins.

The MasterFresh zone comprises a humidity-controlled and a dry compartment.

• Depending on the moisture-regulator setting, the humidity-controlled compartment is particularly suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
• The dry compartment is suitable for storing perishable foods such as fish, meat, and dairy products. Any type of food can in fact be stored in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.

	Max. load of the humidity-controlled compartment	Max. load of the dry compartment
KF 28x2 Vi /SF	23 lb (10.5 kg)	31 lb (14 kg)
KF 29x2 Vi /SF	30 lb (13.5 kg)	40 lb (18 kg)

Humidity-controlled compartment with moisture adjustment

The moisture released by food in storage is kept within the humidity-controlled compartment drawer. The closer the air humidity in the humidity-controlled compartment is to the humidity content of the food, the crisper and fresher the food remains over a longer period, as the water content of the food is largely retained.

The moisture level greatly depends on the type and quantity of food being stored, if stored unwrapped.

The temperature in the humidity-controlled compartment is approximately equivalent to the temperature in the conventional fridge zone.

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

Storing food in the MasterFresh zone

The moisture regulator is used to regulate the amount of moisture in the humidity-controlled compartment with settings to .

Technical line drawing of a rectangular electronic device with a central square and three side ports (no text or symbols)

Position of the moisture regulator = slightly increased humidity

Select this setting if you store very large quantities of fruits and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The moisture regulator partially closes the vents in the compartment so that some of the moisture present is retained.

Illustration of a rectangular tray with a square vent and three dropouts (no text or symbols)

Position of the moisture regulator = increased humidity

Select this setting ⚙️ if you store small to large quantities of fruits and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The moisture regulator closes the vents in the compartment completely so that all of the moisture present is retained.

Tip: If the humidity level is too high and a lot of moisture has collected in the compartment, select the setting. If the quantity of food being stored in this compartment is small, the moisture level may be too low. If you are only storing a small amount of food, wrap it in airtight packaging.

Increased moisture in the humidity-controlled compartment can, in some circumstances, cause a build-up of condensate.

Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.

Regulating the humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment

■ Slide the moisture regulator to the left △ or right ▶□□ depending on the setting required.

Dry compartment with low temperature

The temperature in the dry compartment is maintained at 30 to 37^ F (-1 to 3^ C). While lower than the temperature in a standard fridge zone, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.

The deterioration process is decelerated at this temperature range so food can be stored without loss of freshness for considerably longer than in a standard fridge and you do not need to shop as often.

The humidity level is similar to that in the conventional fridge zone.

Tip: This compartment is ideal for all home-cooked meals as any micro-organisms that may still be present cannot multiply.

The dry compartment is ideal for storing perishable foods such as:

• dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, cream, etc.
• deli salads
• meat, poultry, and sausage
• fresh fish and shellfish
• Any type of food can in fact be stored in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.

Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others.

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

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

In addition, the food will be protected against drying out.

Take food out of the dry compartment approximately 30 to 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.

At high room temperatures, delicate food should preferably be kept in the fridge zone for a period of time.

The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (for example, the food wilts or becomes withered after only a short storage time):

■ Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness.
■ Clean the MasterFresh zone before storing food in it.
■ Very wet food should be dried off before storing it in the humidity-controlled compartment.
■ Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the dry compartment (see “Food which is not suitable for storing in the Fridge Zone”).
■ Allocate the appropriate settings to food you wish to store (e.g., humid or dry storage).
■ Store food loose in the humidity-controlled compartment.

A high humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is achieved by the moisture present in the food being stored.

If the humidity level is not high enough (e.g., too little food is being stored), it can be increased by placing a damp sponge in the drawer.

If you think that the temperature in the dry compartment is too high or too low, adjust the temperature in the Fridge Zone (see “Setting the temperature” in “The correct temperature”). If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the dry compartment, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

If too much water collects at the bottom of the humidity-controlled compartment, dry it with a cloth. If necessary, dry food before placing it in the appliance or place a rack at the bottom of the humidity-controlled compartment to allow water to drain off.

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 SuperFrost function for 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer (see "Using Automatic SuperCool and SuperFrost").

This helps frozen 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.

Place large quantities of food in the large freezer basket.

■ Place the frozen food flat in the bottom of the basket so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.
■ Fill the top freezer basket first as the food will freeze quickest here.
■ Ensure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them from freezing together or to the walls.
■ Please follow the guidelines in the table below regarding recommended weights for the baskets:

	Upper freezer basket	Lower freezer basket
KF 28x2 Vi/SF	26.5 lb(12 kg)	62 lb(28 kg)
KF 29x2 Vi/SF	40 lb(18 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
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 de-frosted 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 the 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.

Refrigerator section and MasterFresh drawer

The refrigerator section and the Master-Fresh drawer defrost automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the MasterFresh drawer while in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance.

Freezer Zone

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

The moisture generated in the appli- ance collects on the condenser and is automatically defrosted and evaporates periodically.

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

⚠ WARNING! DANGER of electric shock! Unplug the appliance or trip the circuit breaker.

⚠ WARNING! Fire hazard! Do not damage the coolant pipework.

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.

An audible signal also sounds.

■ Confirm the message with OK.

Changing the water filter

Air in the system can cause water to gush out and the filter cartridge to spring out when it is removed. Take great care when changing the water filter.
