Freezing food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This helps maintain the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste of the food.
Never refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible, it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Do not refreeze defrosted food unless it has been cooked.
Before placing food in the freezer
- When you are planning to freeze large amounts of food (more than 4 12 lbs [2kg] ), switch on the SuperCool function ahead of time (see "SuperCool"). This will provide the food already in the freezer with a protective boost of cold air.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer.
The freezer baskets can hold a maximum of 35 lbs (16 kg) of frozen food.
- Spread the food to be frozen across the bottom of the freezer basket or across the shelves, so that it will freeze through to the core as quickly as possible.
- When placing items in the freezer, make sure the packaging and containers are dry, to keep them from sticking together when frozen.
When freezing, try not to let frozen food come into contact with fresh food, this could cause the frozen food to defrost.
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:
- in a microwave oven,
- at room temperature,
- in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold),
- in a steam oven.
Poultry It is especially important to observe proper hygiene when defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid from defrosted poultry. Drain it away and promptly wash the container, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packaging, or in a covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Simply place directly into boiling water or hot oil.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly, switch on the SuperCool function. See "SuperCool" for more information.
Do not leave bottles in the freezer for more than 1 hour, closed containers could burst.
Freezing tips
- The following are examples of foods suitable for freezing:
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, pastry/dough, leftovers, and a range of pre-cooked meals. - The following examples of foods not suitable for freezing:
Lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears. - To retain color, taste and vitamin C, vegetables should be trimmed, washed, and blanched.
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then submerge the vegetables in rapidly boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on type.
Remove, and plunge into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack for freezing. - Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer.
- To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meats from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer wrap.
-
Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Cooked food can be lightly seasoned before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.
-
Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.
Packing tips
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- greaseproof paper
- cellophane
- garbage bags
- plastic shopping bags
Suitable packing material
- plastic freezer bags/wrap
- aluminum foil
- freezer containers
To help prevent freezer burn, expel as much air as possible from bags, etc., before sealing them.
- Close the packaging tightly with
- plastic clips
- twist ties
- rubber bands
Mark the package to indicate the contents and the date of freezing.
When the SuperCool function is activated, the appliance is cooled as cold as possible (to a factory-preset temperature).
SuperCool
The SuperCool function is ideal for freezing large quantities of unfrozen food. Ideally the function should be switched on 4 - 6 hours before the food is placed in the freezer.
If the max. freezing capacity is used, 24 hours are recommended.
This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavor and appearance.
Switching on SuperCool

- Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it turns yellow.
The temperature now begins to fall, with maximum cooling performance.
The new temperature setting appears in the display -22^ (-30^) .

Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified and trained person in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause personal injury or machine damage and may void the warranty.
Problems with temperature
| Issue | Possible fault | Solution |
| The freezer does not get cold. | The machine is not turned on. | Check whether the appliance is switched on at the main switch. The access button must be lit up. |
| The machine is not plugged in. | Check that the plug is correctly inserted in the power outlet. | |
| Check that the fuse has not tripped. | Reset the circuit breaker. | |
| The temperature is set incorrectly. | Check the display. | |
| The temperature is too low. | Select a warmer temperature. | See "Selecting the correct temperature". |
| The SuperCool function is still on. | SuperCool automatically shuts off after 52 hours. | |
| The door is not closed. | Check that the door has been closed properly. | |
| A large amount of food is being frozen at the same time. | This makes the compressor run longer, causing the temperature to fall automatically. | |
| The freezer is too warm. | The room temperature is lower than the ambient temperature for which the appliance is designed. | Raise the temperature of the room. Operating the appliance in a room that is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long, causing the freezer section to become too warm. |
| General problems | ||
| Issue | Possible fault | Solution |
| Water is flowing out of the appliance. | Close the shut-off valve immediately. | |
| Check whether the water pipe in the appliance is defective. | Contact Miele Technical Service. | |
| Check whether the water pressure is too low. | Contact a plumber. | |
| Check whether the correct water valve has been installed. | Self-tapping valves and 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valves reduce the water pressure and can block the pipe. | |
| The door will not open. | This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening and closing the door too many times in succession prevents it from opening. | Wait a few minutes, then try again. It should now open without force. |
| The compressor kicks on very frequently and for too long. | The ventilation slits are covered or dusty. | Clean with a vacuum or brush. |
| The door has been opened too frequently, or a large amount of unfrozen food has been put in at once for freezing. | Once the freezer gets down to the set temperature the compressor will turn off. | |
| The door is not closed. | Check that the door has been closed properly. | |

Fasten the appliance on the left and right hand sides with the 3 (supplied) wood screws.
If there is a fairly large gap above the appliance, cut a wooden beam to fit exactly and place it in the gap.
Now connect the water supply to the appliance (see "Plumbing").
Attaching the toe-kick cover
The maximum height of the toe-kick cover is 4'' from the top of the floor. Do not cover the ventilation slits in the plinth. Risk of damage to the appliance.

If required, cut the toe-kick cover to the required length and height.
- Attach the plinth to the appliance.

Put the included cover plates in place.

Remove the foil from the adhesive strips.
- Attach the toe-kick cover to the plinth.
Mounting the air separator
The air separator on the inside of the freezer door keeps the supply and exhaust air separate. This prevents warm exhaust air from flowing into the machine, optimizing the energy performance of the unit.

If necessary, shorten the three parts of the air separator.
Insert the foam pieces back into the sides.
Open the freezer door.

- Wedge the air separator at the bottom of the freezer door, so it connects in place.
Aligning the Ice/Water Dispenser
If necessary the depth of the Ice/Water dispenser can be aligned from inside the custom door cut-out. This allows the dispenser to be aligned with the custom door to achieve the best possible appearance.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Press the dispenser back and pull downwards to remove.

- Remove the cover and the plastic grill.

- Remove the screw from the rear casing, then lift the tab on the drip tray up and off.


Pull the rear cover forward and out.

Unclip the water sensors and carefully bend them upwards.
- Carefully remove the drip tray using a screwdriver if necessary.
Once the drip tray has been removed, the four aligners can be accessed to adjust the Ice/Water Dispenser to your liking.

- Loosen the screws of the four clamps.
Insert a screwdriver into one of the four slots and push sideways until the dispenser is aligned with the custom door (the gray arrow will adjust to the rear; the black arrow will adjust front).
Re-tighten the screws of the clamps.
Insert the drip tray back into place, then clip the water sensors back onto the drip tray. - Replace the rear cover, panel and screw.
Replace the drip tray and cover.
Finish by putting the plastic grill, cover, and dispenser back into place.
