Correct use

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

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

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

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

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

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

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst. Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or to the metal. Danger of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instructions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored.

Accessories and spare parts

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

Failing to connect the appliance properly can result in personal injury and/or material damage.

The appliance may only be connected to the mains water supply by suitably qualified persons.

⚠️ Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply before connecting it to the water supply.

Close the stopcock before connecting the refrigeration appliance to the water supply.

⚠️ Risk to health and risk of damage due to contaminated water.

The quality of the incoming water must conform to the requirements for drinking water in the country where the refrigeration appliance is being used.

Connect the refrigeration appliance to the drinking water supply.

This refrigeration appliance meets the requirements of IEC 61770 and EN 61770.

Connection to the water supply must comply with the applicable regulations in the country where the appliance is being installed. All appliances and systems used to supply water to the refrigeration appliance must also comply with the applicable regulations in the respective country.

The water connection pressure needs to be between 200 kPa and 800 kPa (2 bar and 8 bar).

⚠️ Risk of damage due to excessive water pressure.

Excessive water pressure in the pipe can cause damage to the refrigeration appliance.

Install a pressure reducing valve if the water pressure in the system exceeds 800 kPa (8 bar).

Do not install the system if the water pressure exceeds 830 kPa (8.3 bar).

Contact a plumbing specialist if you are unsure of your water pressure.

Use fresh water to ensure that the quality of the ice cubes remains high. Connect the stainless steel hose to the fresh water supply and avoid connection to a water supply in which the water might stagnate.

Only use the stainless steel hose supplied. The stainless steel hose must not be shortened, extended or replaced by a different hose.

The stainless steel hose must only be replaced by an original Miele spare part. The food-grade, stainless steel hose is available to order from the Miele webshop, from the Miele Customer Service Department or from your local Miele dealer.

A stopcock must be provided between the stainless steel hose and the mains water supply to ensure that the water supply can be cut off if necessary.

Make sure that the stopcock is still accessible after the refrigeration appliance has been installed.

The stainless steel hose is 2 m long and is already installed on the refrigeration appliance when it is delivered.

Connecting the refrigeration appliance to the water supply

By this time, the installation niche should already have been prepared so that the refrigeration appliance needs only to be pushed into it.

When doing so, make sure that the stainless steel hose is not kinked or damaged.

Position the refrigeration appliance slightly in front of the installation niche so that the stopcock can still be accessed.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with attached wiring and labeled component (no text or symbols)

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

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

The temperature in the refrigeration appliance will rise:

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

Setting the temperature

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 fingers on the sensor controls changes the temperature continuously. Confirm the temperature setting with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after the last touch of the sensor control. The temperature will then 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 approx. 6 hours if the refrigeration appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the refrigeration appliance is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for the appliance to give an accurate reading.

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

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from -14 °C to -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.

SuperFreeze function

For best results, switch the SuperFreeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer.

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

Exceptions:

  • When you place food that is already frozen in the freezer
  • When you only freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food daily

Switching on SuperFreeze

SuperFreeze should be turned on 4–6 hours before you place food in the freezer. When you freeze the maximum amount of food the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

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

The ⚙ symbol will be highlighted in colour and the newly set temperature value of -30 °C will appear 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 ✿ will light up on the temperature display.

The refrigeration appliance will now run at maximum power.

Switching off SuperFreeze

Touch the 🔊 sensor control to set the temperature.

The ⚙ symbol will be highlighted in colour and the temperature value of -30 °C will be shown on the display.

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

The ⚙ symbol will no longer be highlighted in colour and the previous temperature setting will appear 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 will disappear from the temperature display.

The refrigeration appliance will continue running at normal power.

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

Tip: To save energy, you should manually switch the SuperFreeze function off once the freezer reaches a constant temperature of -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 will appear on 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 in which the temperature rose.

Audible and visual signals will be activated, for example:

  • When the refrigeration 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 fresh food which is still warm is frozen
  • After an extended mains outage

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 -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.

■ To replace the ice cube container, pull the upper freezer basket out again as far as it will go. ■ Insert the ice cube container with the rearmost side first, so that it engages. ■ Push the upper freezer basket all the way back in.

Maximum freezing capacity

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

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

Freezing fresh food

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

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

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

Storing frozen food

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

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

  • That the packaging is not damaged
  • The use-by date
  • The temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop.

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

■ Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it. - Put it into the freezer as soon as possible.

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.

Hints on home freezing

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

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

Packaging food for freezing

■ Freeze food in portions.

- Suitable packing material

  • Plastic freezer bags
  • Tubular polythene freezer bags
  • Aluminum foil
  • Freezer containers

- Unsuitable packing material

  • Wrapping paper
  • Greaseproof paper
  • Cellophane
  • Bin bags
  • Plastic carrier bags

■ Expel as much air as possible from the packaging. ■ Close the packaging tightly with

  • Rubber bands
  • Plastic clips
  • String
  • Freezer tape

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

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

Before placing food in the appliance

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

This helps create a cold reserve in food which is already stored in the freezer.

Placing food in the freezer

Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer zone. Preferably freeze food in the upper 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. Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen. 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 basketLower freezer basket
F 2411 Vi 12 kg12 kg
F 28x1 Vi 28 kg28 kg
F 29x1 Vi 36 kg36 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 -18 °C. Decomposition processes also take place in frozen food, albeit at a very reduced speed. For example, fat can become rancid from contact with oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat can be stored approx. twice as long as fatty meat.

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

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

For standard freezing results, follow the advice on packaging.

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.

Defrosting frozen goods

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

Frozen goods can be defrosted in different ways:

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

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

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

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

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

Cooling drinks quickly

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

For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to a mains water supply (see “Mains water connection”).

MIELE F 2411 Vi - Cooling drinks quickly - 1

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 refrigeration appliance again after it has been turned off for a long time.

Switching 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 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 when the ice cube container is full.

The ice maker can make up to approx. 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 you have set 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.

MIELE F 2411 Vi - Switching on the ice maker - 1

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 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.

Switching the ice maker off

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

Close the stopcock in the water supply line approx. 3 hours before switching off the refrigeration appliance to avoid the build-up of mould caused by stagnant water. In Settings mode ⚙, use the < and > sensor controls to select Dispenser unit and select OK to confirm your selection. Then use the < and > sensor controls to select Off and select OK to confirm your selection.

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.

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

MIELE F 2411 Vi - Switching the ice maker off - 1

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.

Cleaning agents

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

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

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

We recommend using lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid for cleaning.

Before cleaning the refrigeration appliance

■ Switch the refrigeration appliance off by pressing the On/Off switch. ■ Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place. ■ Take out all other removable parts for cleaning (see “Adjusting the interior fittings”).

Interior cabinet and accessories

Clean the refrigeration appliance regularly, or at least once a month. Remove soiling immediately to prevent it from drying on.

■ Clean the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance with a solution of lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. Wash 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 refrigeration appliance sufficiently for a short while and to prevent odour buildup.

Aluminium frames

The frames for the shelves inside the appliance and the door shelves are partially made from aluminium.

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

The aluminium frames may become discoloured or damaged if soiling is left on for too long.

Remove any soiling from the aluminium frame immediately.

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 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).

Cleaning the water filter (IntensiveClear mesh filter)

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

Clean the water filter will appear in the display.

Confirm the message with OK.

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

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

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigeration appliance. Switch the refrigeration appliance back on. Switch the SuperFreeze function on 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 the SuperFreeze function off as soon as the temperature in the freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.

The refrigeration appliance is supplied with a water filter (IntensiveClear mesh filter) that filters mains water for making ice cubes.

The IntensiveClear mesh filter filters suspended particles from the mains water – not bacteria or microbes.

The water filter does not need to be replaced. However, to ensure the highest quality of the ice cubes, it is essential to clean the water filter regularly.

After inserting a new water filter, dispose of all ice cubes produced in the next 24 hours following the change.

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

Clean the water filter appears on the display.

- Clean the IntensiveClear mesh filter (see “Cleaning the water filter (IntensiveClear mesh filter)”, in “Cleaning and care”).
