7
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety The coolant circuit has been
checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU
directives.
This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a
natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flammable. The refrigerant
does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to the greenhouse
effect. The use of this refrigerant 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 refrigerant 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 refrigerant can damage the eyes. In the event of damage:
– Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark. – Disconnect the
refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply. – Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes. – Contact the Miele Customer Service Department. The more
refrigerant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger the room it
should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a
small room, there is the danger of a combustible gas/ air mixture building up.
For every 8 g of refrigerant at least 1 m3 of room space is required. The
amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the connection
data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the
household supply. Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that
this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the
electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Temporary or
permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply
system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island
networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that
the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an
equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures
provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product
must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced
by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the
current version of BS OHSAS 180012 ISO 45001. If the electrical connection
cable supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original spare part
to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when original Miele spare parts are used. Do not connect the
appliance to the mains electrical supply by a multi-socket adapter or
extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance. If moisture gets into electrical components or into
the mains connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not
operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture
(e.g in a garage or utility room).
9
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for
visible signs of damage. For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used
after it has been built in. The appliance must be disconnected from the power
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work, and during
installation work on the mains water connection. It is only completely
isolated from the power supply when: – the mains fuses are switched off, or –
the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or – the mains cable has
been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the
cable when disconnecting it from the power supply. Unauthorised installation,
maintenance and repairs, or a faulty mains water connection can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs,
installation work on the mains water connection, and all repairs on the
ice/water outlet must only ever be carried out by a Miele-authorised
technician. The ice-cube maker must only be connected to a cold water supply.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty mains water
connection. While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is
invalidated. Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

and level housing unit, positioned on an even and level floor.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use 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. The climate range is stated on the data plate in the
interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A lower ambient temperature
will cause the compressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the
refrigeration appliance is unable to 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions 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 original Miele accessories. If other
parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be
invalidated. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your
refrigeration appliance.
14
Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care Do not use any oils or
grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time. Do not use a steam
cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance. Steam could reach
electrical components and cause a short circuit. Sharp edged or pointed
objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the
appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to – remove frost and
ice, – separate frozen food or remove ice trays. Do not place electric heaters
or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain substances
which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the build-up of
gases and pose a danger to health.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Transport Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its
original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit. Danger of injury and
damage to the appliance. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be
transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance Children playing could become trapped in the
appliance and could suffocate. – Remove the appliance doors. – Remove the
drawers. – Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so
chil-
dren cannot climb inside. – If your old refrigeration appliance has a door
lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking themselves in
and endangering their lives. Risk of electric shock! – Cut the power plug off
the mains connection cable. – Cut the mains connection cable off the old
appliance. Dispose of everything separately from the old appliance. During and
after disposal, make sure that the refrigeration appliance is not placed near
petrol or other flammable gases and liquids. Risk of fire due to escaping oil
or refrigerant! The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In
high enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source. During disposal, make sure
that the cooling circuit is not damaged in order to prevent refrigerant and
oil escaping in an uncontrolled manner (see the data plate for details of the
refrigerant).
16
Warning and Safety instructions Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be
careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by – puncturing
the coolant channels in the condenser, – bending any pipework, or – scratching
the surface coating.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model) This information is only
relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal operation.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penetrates the
airways.
17
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling
the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential
for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human
health and to the environment if disposed of with household waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or with Miele. By law, you are solely
responsible for deleting any personal data from the old appliance prior to
disposal. Take care not to damage your refrigeration appliance’s pipework
before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. This is to
ensure that refrigerant in the cooling circuit and oil in the compressor is
contained, and will not leak into the environment. Ensure that your old
appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. For
further information, see “Warning and safety instructions” in these operating
instructions.

INSTALLATION
Installation
Installation site
Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the refrigeration appliance tipping over. This refrigeration
appliance is very heavy and can tip forwards when the appliance door is open.
Keep the appliance door(s) closed until the refrigeration appliance has been
built in. The refrigeration appliance must be secured in its buildingin niche
in accordance with the operating and installation instructions.
Fire risk and risk of damage from
appliances which give off heat. Appliances which give off heat can catch fire
and set fire to the refrigeration appliance. This refrigeration appliance must
not be installed underneath a hob.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames. Open flames can set fire to the refrigeration appliance.
Keep open flames (e.g. a candle) away from the refrigeration appliance.
This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. When
deciding on the installation site, please bear in mind that your refrigeration
appliance will use more energy if installed near to a heater, a cooker or
other appliance that gives off heat. Avoid direct sunlight. The higher the
ambient temperature, the longer the compressor runs and the higher the energy
consumption is. When installing the refrigeration appliance, please note the
following: – The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed behind the appliance. – The plug and mains
connection cable must not touch the rear of the refrigeration appliance as
they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance. – Do not plug in other
appliances behind the refrigeration appliance. – Do not position or operate
multisocket adapters, distributor strips or other electronic devices (such as
halogen transformers) at the rear of the appliance.
19
INSTALLATION
Installation
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity. In environments with high humidity, condensation can build up on
external refrigeration appliance panels. This condensate can cause corrosion
on external appliance panels. Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry
and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation. After installation
please make sure that the appliance door(s) closes (close) properly and the
refrigeration appliance is installed in accordance with these installation
instructions. It is essential to comply with the specified ventilation cutout
requirements.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to condens-
ation on external appliance panels. In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on external appliance panels, which can cause
corrosion. Do not place different refrigeration appliance models directly next
to or on top of one other.
If the model number for your refrigeration appliance does have the letter “S”
in it, it can be installed “side-by-side”. Your refrigeration appliance is
equipped with built-in heating units in the side panels. If the model number
for your refrigeration appliance does not have the letter “S” in it, it cannot
be installed “side-byside”. Your refrigeration appliance must
not be installed “side-by-side” because it is not equipped with built-in heating units in the side panels. Exception: your refrigeration appliance can be installed next to another refrigeration appliance with an integrated heating unit if each appliance is built into a separate niche. Please contact your dealer for specific information about which combinations will work with your refrigeration appliance.
Climate range This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance.
Climate range
SN N ST T
Ambient temperature
+10 to +32 °C +16 to +32 °C +16 to +38 °C +16 to +43 °C
A lower ambient temperature leads to the compressor switching off for longer periods. This can cause the internal temperature in the refrigeration appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.
20
INSTALLATION
Installation
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation. If the refrigeration appliance is not ventilated
sufficiently, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating
temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the
compressor. Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the
refrigeration appliance. It is essential to observe the required ventilation
gaps. The ventilation gaps must not be covered or blocked in any way. They
must also be regularly dusted.
Air at the back of the refrigeration appliance gets warm. The appliance
housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for
ventilation (see “Installation dimensions” and the installation instructions
provided).
Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps Depending on the style of kitchen furniture, the
thickness and edge radius of the furniture door panel and the gap that runs
around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the following: – Horizontal gap The gap
between the furniture door panel and the housing unit door above or below it
must be at least 3 mm. – Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration appliance furniture door panel and the
adjoining housing unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the
appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing unit door or wall when
opened. It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the
thickness and edge radius of the appliance furniture door.
This must be taken into consideration when planning your kitchen and when replacing an old refrigeration appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.

appliance may only be connected to the mains water connection by suitably
qualified specialists.
Disconnect the refrigeration ap-
pliance from the power supply before connecting it to the mains water supply.
Close the stopcock before connecting the refrigeration appliance to the mains
water supply.
Risk to health and risk of dam-
age 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. For correct functioning
(dispensing rate, size of ice cubes, noise level) the water connection
pressure needs to be between 150 kPa and 620 kPa (1.5 bar and 6.2 bar). If the
water connection pressure exceeds 620 kPa (6.2 bar), a pressure reducing valve
must be fitted. The water supply line and the inlet solenoid valve on the
refrigeration appliance are suitable for a water connection pressure of up to
1000 kPa (10 bar). Use fresh water to ensure that the quality of the ice cubes
remains high. Connect the stainless steel hose to the mains water supply and
avoid connection to a water supply in which the water might stagnate.
Only use the hose supplied. The hose must not be shortened, extended or
replaced by a different hose.
The hose must only be replaced by an original Miele spare part. The food-grade
hose is available to order from the Miele webshop, from the Miele Customer
Service Department or from your local Miele dealer.

easily accessible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided
on the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the refrigeration appliance to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the cable. For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply with VDE 0100 requirements. For safety
reasons, we recommend using a type residual current device (RCD) in the
assigned electrical installation for connecting the refrigeration appliance.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be
carried out by a qualified specialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department. These operating instructions and the data plate indicate the
nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare this
information with
the data of the on-site electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of VDEAR-E 2510-2.

Saving energy
How to save energy:
Installation site
The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher ambient temperatures and consumes more energy in the process. Therefore, you should: – Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room.
– Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source (heater element, cooker).
– Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.
– Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 20 °C.
– Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any dust.
Temperature The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.
setting
The following settings are recommended:
– 4 to 5 °C in the refrigerator section.
– PerfectFresh Active zone just above 0 °C.
– -18 °C in the freezer section.
Use
Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air
circulation. Therefore, you should:
– Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that makes it easy to find in the appliance.
– Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening them.
– Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the refrigeration appliance.
– Store food well packaged or covered.
– Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.
– Place frozen food in the fridge zone to defrost.
– Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the appliance was delivered. 31

Switching on and off
To note when switching off for longer periods of time
If, during a long absence, the refrigeration appliance is switched off but not
cleaned and the door is left shut, there is a danger of mould building up
inside the appliance. It is essential to clean the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of
time, observe the following: Switch the refrigeration appliance off. Switch
off at the wall and withdraw
the plug from the socket, or disconnect the fuse. Take the water container for
the humidifier out of the appliance, empty it, then clean and dry it. Empty
the ice cube drawer.
Risk of damage to the ice cube
maker. If the water inlet is blocked while the ice cube maker is still in use,
the water inlet pipe can freeze up. Turn the ice cube maker off if the water
supply is turned off (e.g. while on holiday).
Close the stopcock for the water inlet.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and leave the door ajar to air the appliance
and avoid odours building up inside.
It is also advisable to carry out the last two instructions if you are switching the refrigerator section off for a longer period of time.
45
The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct temperature to ensure the shelf life
of food. Reducing the temperature reduces the growth rate of microorganisms.
Food does not spoil as quickly. 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 that is stored in it –
The warmer the food is which is be-
ing 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.
… in the refrigerator section and in the PerfectFresh Active zone We recommend
a temperature of 4 °C in the refrigerator section. The temperature in the
PerfectFresh Active zone is controlled automatically and maintained at 0 to 3
°C.
Automatic temperature distribution (DynaCool) The fan switches on
automatically when the cooling system for the refrigerator switches on. It
distributes the temperature in the appliance to all areas more evenly so that
all the food will be chilled to about the same degree.
… in the freezer zone To freeze fresh food, a temperature of -18 °C is
required. This will prolong the storage life of your food and retain its
quality.
46
The correct temperature
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature display shows the current average
refrigerator section temperature and the maximum freezer section temperature.
Depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the temperature required and for this
temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature on the display.
Setting the temperature in the refrigerator/freezer sections
Touch the temperature display for the section you want to change.
Swipe left or right until the temperature you want is shown in the middle.
Tap on the temperature you want to confirm.
The temperature display will then change back to the current refrigeration and
freezer temperature in the refrigeration appliance.
Possible temperature settings – Refrigerator section: 3 to 9 °C – Freezer
section: -15 to -26 °C
Adjusting the PerfectFresh Active zone temperature The temperature in the
PerfectFresh Active zone is automatically maintained between 0 and 3 °C.
However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish,
you can adjust the temperature slightly in increments. Tap . Swipe left or
right until is shown in
the middle. Tap . Swipe left or right until the setting you
want (1: lowest temperature; 9: highest temperature) is shown in the middle.
Tap on the setting you want to confirm.
The default setting for the temperature is 5. Under certain circumstances, a
setting from 1 to 4 can cause negative temperatures to be reached. This can
cause food to freeze. Check the temperature setting.
47
The correct temperature
If you change the temperature setting: check the temperature display after a
few hours. It will take this long for the appliance to give an accurate
reading. – Wait for approx. 6 hours if the refrigeration appliance is not very
full – Wait for approx. 24 hours if the refrigeration appliance is full If,
after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low: Adjust the
temperature again.
48

49
Using Super cool and Super freeze
SuperFreeze
When switched on, the SuperFreeze function can be used to rapidly reduce the
temperature in the freezer section to its lowest setting (depending on the
ambient temperature). The refrigeration appliance will work at full power and
lower the temperature. Select this function before freezing fresh food. This
helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and
appearance. When the SuperFreeze function is switched on, the appliance may
make more noise than usual. SuperFreeze should be switched on approx. 6 hours
before placing food in the freezer section. When freezing the maximum amount
of food, the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.
You do not need to switch on the SuperFreeze function:
– If you are placing food that is already frozen in the freezer
– If you only freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food daily
Switching SuperFreeze on and off Touch the temperature display for the
freezer section. Tap to switch the SuperFreeze
function on and off again. When the SuperFreeze function is switched on, will
light up orange. Tap on the temperature display to
leave the Settings level.
The SuperFreeze function will switch itself off automatically after a maximum of 72 hours. The refrigeration appliance will then run at normal power again. The quantity of fresh food placed in the freezer will determine the duration before it switches off. Tip: To save energy, you can switch the SuperFreeze function off yourself once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

Selecting further settings
Explanation of the different settings
Only the settings that require further explanation are described below. The
door alarm and other warnings are automatically suppressed when you are in
Settings mode .
Party mode The Party mode function is recommended if you wish to chill or
freeze large amounts of fresh food or drink quickly or want to make ice cubes.
Tip: Switch on the Party mode function approx. 4 hours before placing food and
drinks in the appliance. When Party mode is switched on, the following are
switched on automatically: – The SuperCool and SuperFreeze
functions – The ice cube maker (ice cubes will be
produced) Party mode cannot be switched on if the refrigerator section is
switched off or if Holiday mode is switched on.
The Party mode function will switch itself off automatically after approx. 24
hours. However, you can switch the Party mode function off early at any time.
Holiday mode The Holiday mode function is useful when you go on holiday, for
example, if you do not wish to switch off the refrigerator section completely
or do not need a high degree of cooling. If Holiday mode is switched on, this
will be indicated on the start display. It can be switched off via the start
display or Settings mode . The refrigerator section is regulated at a
temperature of 15 °C, which automatically sets the temperature in the
PerfectFresh Active zone to between 9 and 12 °C. This allows the refrigerator
section to remain in operation whilst also saving energy. The freezer section
remains switched on at the previously set temperature.
Food which does not go off quickly can be stored in the refrigeration
appliance for some time at this moderate refrigerator temperature. Energy
consumption is lower than in normal operation. This also prevents the build-up
of odours and mould which can occur if the refrigerator section is switched
off and the appliance door is closed.

Temperature and door alarm
Health risk caused by decom-
posing 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.
Temperature alarm
The refrigeration appliance has been fitted with a warning system so that the
temperature in the freezer zone cannot rise unnoticed. If the temperature in
the freezer section becomes too warm, will light up red in the freezer section
temperature display. An alarm will also sound until the cause of the alarm is
rectified or the alarm is switched off. The temperature the refrigeration
appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as
being too warm.
The audible and visual signals may be activated in the following situations:
– You switch on the refrigeration appliance and the temperature in a
temperature zone differs greatly from the set temperature.
– A lot of warm room air enters the freezer when you are rearranging or taking
out frozen food.

Storing food in the fridge zone
Risk of explosion due to flam-
mable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases
to ignite. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or
any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). The spray cans in
question can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a flame
symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods. If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the
refrigeration appliance or the appliance door, make sure that it does not come
into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or
break the plastic. Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts
of the refrigeration appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation, the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption will increase. To allow air to circulate
efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the appliance. Do not
cover the fan in the rear wall of the appliance.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature regions in the
refrigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the
refrigeration section. Make use of the different zones when placing food in
the appliance. This refrigeration appliance has automatic dynamic cooling,
which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. The
difference between the various temperature zones is therefore less pronounced.
Warmest area The warmest area in the refrigerator section is at the top in the
front area and in the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese. Coldest
area The coldest area in the fridge zone is directly above the PerfectFresh
Active zone dividing plate and at the back of the appliance. The temperature
in the PerfectFresh Active zone compartments is even colder.
A temperature setting of 4 °C combined with appropriate hygiene measures
delays the propagation of bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria, which can
lead to serious food poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas in the fridge zone and in the
PerfectFresh Active zone to store all delicate and highly perishable food,
including:
61
Storing food in the fridge zone
– Fish, meat, poultry – Cold cuts, ready meals – Dishes or baked goods
containing
eggs or cream – Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough – Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products – Pre-packed vegetables – Other fresh food (with a label stating
it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4 °C)
Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C, because
it may be sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too
cold a temperature. Food which is sensitive to cold includes: – Pineapples,
avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit such as
lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit – Fruit (which is not yet ripe) –
Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes – Hard cheeses
(e.g. Parmesan, mountain cheese)
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays fresh. Take into account the use-by
date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is in packaging or covered properly
(some exceptions apply in the PerfectFresh Active zone). This will prevent
food odours from affecting other food, stop food from drying out and also
prevent any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is particularly important
when storing meat products. Make sure that food such as raw meat and fish in
particular does not come into contact with other food.
By ensuring that the temperature settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures, you can prolong the storage life of your food
considerably. This prevents food waste.
62
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
PerfectFresh Active zone
The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies the requirements of a chill compartment
to DIN EN 62552:2020. The PerfectFresh Active zone provides ideal storage
conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and dairy products. Food stays
fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins. The
temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3 °C. While lower than the temperature in a standard
refrigerator section, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh
food which is not sensitive to cold. The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Active zone can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. If the
humidifier is switched on, water vapour is supplied to the stored fruit and
vegetables. The humidifier switches on approximately every 90 minutes and each
time the appliance door is opened. Food retains its own moisture if stored at
a higher humidity and so does not dry out as quickly. Remember that the
fresher the food when placed in the appliance, the longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh Active zone approx. 30 to 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached
room temperature.
Humidity-controlled compartment
|
|
The upper humidity-controlled compartment has a temperature of 0 to 3 °C, and the humidity level is increased depending on the position of the compartment cover: not increased or increased.
Humidity level not increased When the setting is used, the humidity-controlled
compartment becomes a dry compartment (see “Dry compartment”).
Increased humidity When this setting is used, the compartment is suitable for
storing fruit and vegetables.
Increased humidity in the humiditycontrolled compartment can cause a build-up
of condensate. If you find that too much condensate has formed and this is
affecting the food, proceed as follows: Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.
Open the compartment cover by moving it to the low humidity position. Switch
the humidifier off.
63
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
Selecting increased humidity

Slide the compartment cover backwards as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is closed and the humidity remains in the compartment .
If the food is higher than the edge of the drawer, pushing in the drawer may alter the position of the compartment cover, causing it to close. When filling the drawer, take care to ensure that the food does not touch the compartment cover.
64
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
Humidifier When the humidifier is switched on, water vapour is supplied to the
fruit and vegetables stored in the humiditycontrolled compartment each time
the appliance door is opened and approximately every 90 minutes. The water
vapour provides additional humidity in the humidity-controlled compartment.
The humidifier and its water container are located in the dividing plate
between the refrigerator section and PerfectFresh Active zone. Check and pay
attention to the following before switching the humidifier on (see “Selecting
further settings”): – The water container must have been
cleaned, filled with water and fitted securely. – The cover for the humidity-
controlled compartment must be closed ( setting).
The water in the water container should last for approx. 4 months. The water
container will only need to be refilled if the humidifier is no longer
producing any water vapour.
Risk of damage due to incor-
rectly filled water container. Liquids containing sugar can damage the
humidifier. Use only fresh drinking water to fill the water container.
Risk to health due to contamin-
ated water. Using contaminated water can lead to poisoning. Use only fresh
drinking water to fill the water container.
Risk to health due to contamin-
ated water. Bacteria can develop in water which has been sitting in the water
container for too long. This poses a risk to your health. Clean the water
container for the humidifier and fill it with fresh drinking water if the
refrigeration appliance, the refrigerator section or the humidifier has been
switched off for an extended period of time (more than 2 days). Clean the
water container for the humidifier and fill it with fresh drinking water if
Holiday mode has been switched on for an extended period of time (more than 2
weeks).
65
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
Filling the water container for the humidifier
Press on the outer corners at the back of the glass shelf .
The glass shelf will lift up at the front. Lift up the shelf and fold it back.
The glass shelf will stand upright. Push the slider to the left. The water
container will spring out of the recess. Remove the water container and fill
it
up to the marker with drinking water. Reinsert the water container. Fold the
glass shelf back down.
Dry compartment
|
The lower dry compartment has a temperature of 0 to 3 °C and the humidity is
not increased . The dry compartment is ideal for storing food which goes off
quickly, such as: – Fresh fish and shellfish – Meat, poultry and sausage –
Deli salads – Dairy products, such as yogurt,
cheese, cream, etc. – Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.
Please note that food rich in protein deteriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish
deteriorates faster than meat. For hygiene reasons, always keep these foods
covered or wrapped.
66
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep
well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short
time): Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the
food is crucial
to maintaining freshness. Clean the compartments in the PerfectFresh Active
zone before storing food in
them. Very wet food should be dried off before storing it. Do not store food
which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see
“Storing food in the fridge zone Food which is not suitable for storage in
the fridge zone”). Select the correct PerfectFresh Active compartment for the
food as well as the correct position for the compartment cover (humidity not
increased or humidity increased ). An increased humidity level in the
humidity-controlled compartment is achieved with the moisture present in the
food being stored if the food is stored unwrapped. The more food stored in the
compartment, the higher the humidity. Do not overfill the compartments. If you
find that too much condensate has formed when using the setting and this is
affecting the food: – Wipe off any condensate with a cloth. – Place a rack or
similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drain away. – Open
the compartment cover by moving it to the low humidity position and switch the
humidifier off. If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the
food in airtight packaging. If you think that the temperature in the
PerfectFresh Active zone is too high or too low, try regulating it slightly
first by changing the temperature in the fridge zone by 1 or 2 °C. If ice
crystals start to form on the base of the PerfectFresh Active compartments,
increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the
food. If adjusting the temperature in the fridge zone does not remedy the
problem, adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “The
correct temperature”).
67
Freezing and storing food
Freezing fresh food
Health risk caused by decom-
posing food. If the temperature in the freezer remains above -18 °C for a long
time, the frozen food can start to defrost. This will reduce the storage life
of the food. Check whether the frozen food has started to defrost. If it has,
check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as
possible or cook it before freezing it again.
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink significantly less. As there is not so much moisture loss, it is easier
for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process, and very little
water collects around the defrosted food.
Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer
freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing
capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing
within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: “Freezing capacity … kg/24
hrs”.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check: – That the packaging
is not damaged – The use-by date – That the temperature at which the
frozen food is being stored in the shop is -18 °C or colder Where possible,
transport frozen food in an insulated bag and then store it quickly in the
refrigeration appliance.
68
Freezing and storing food
Home freezing
Before placing food in the freezer When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for 6 hours before placing the
food in the freezer. When freezing even larger amounts of food, switch on the
SuperFreeze function for 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer. This
helps the frozen food which is already stored in the freezer to stay frozen.
Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.
Please note that some food is not suitable for freezing. These include, for
example, vegetables that are usually eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.
Tip: To retain colour, taste, aroma and vitamin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To do so, place vegetables portion by portion
into boiling water for 23 minutes. Then remove and plunge the vegetables into
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave the vegetables to drain.
Packaging food for freezing Freeze food in portions. Tip: Use suitable
packaging to avoid freezer burn (such as freezer containers). Expel as much
air as possible from
the packaging and close it tightly. Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
Placing frozen food in the freezer
If the food is too heavy, this can
cause damage. Loading food which is too heavy can cause damage to the freezer
drawers/glass shelves. Do not exceed the relevant maximum load: Freezer drawer
= 12 kg Glass shelf = 35 kg
Unfrozen food should not touch frozen food as this will cause the frozen food
to begin to thaw.
To prevent food sticking together when frozen, make sure that the packaging
and containers are dry.
To ensure that food freezes through to the core quickly, do not exceed the
following packaging and container sizes:
– Fruit and vegetables: max. 1 kg – Meat: max. 2.5 kg
Freezing small amounts of food Place the food in the upper freezer drawers.
69
Freezing and storing food
Place the food flat in the bottom of the upper freezer drawers so that it
freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.
VarioRoom: freezing the maximum amount of food (see data plate)
If the ventilation slots are blocked, the cooling performance will decrease
and energy consumption will increase. When placing food in the freezer, make
sure that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
Tip: You can expand the space available in the freezer section. If you wish to
freeze large frozen food such as a turkey or game, the glass shelves between
the drawers can be removed. Remove the upper freezer drawers. Place the food
flat on the upper glass
shelves so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen: Switch the SuperFreeze function
off. Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawers and push them back in.

The storage times given are guidelines only.
For standard freezing results, follow the advice on packaging. By keeping the freezer zone at a constant temperature of -18 °C and taking appropriate hygiene measures you can maximise the storage life of your food and avoid food waste.
70
Freezing and storing food
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator section, switch on the SuperCool
function . If you want to cool a large amount of drinks, or if you want to
cool drinks in the freezer section, select Party mode in Settings mode . When
cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.
71
Making ice cubes
Check and pay attention to the following before switching the ice cube maker
on: – The ice cube maker must be clean. – The refrigeration appliance must be
switched on. – The ice cube drawer contains an ad-
justable partition. You can adjust the size of the area in which the ice cubes
will collect depending on the amount of ice you require. – The drawer area
below the ice cube maker must be empty. – Ice cubes can only be made when the
ice cube drawer is completely closed.
Risk to health due to contamin-
ated water. Bacteria can develop in water which has been sitting in the water
supply lines for too long. This poses a risk to your health. Throw away the
first 3 batches of ice cubes made after the ice cube maker is started up, 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 ice
cube maker again after it has been switched off for an extended period of time
(more than 5 days).
When using the appliance for the first time, it can take up to 24 hours for
the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice cube maker and collect in the
drawer. After the ice cube maker has been turned off and on again, this
process lasts max. 6 hours.
Only make normal domestic quantities of ice cubes with the ice cube maker. The
ice cube maker can make up to approx. 1.2 kg of ice cubes in 24 hours. The
amount of ice cubes made by the appliance depends on the temperature in the
freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes are produced.
Switching the ice cube maker on and off
Tap . Swipe left or right until is shown in
the middle. Tap . will light up orange when the ice cube maker is switched on.
Once the freezer section has cooled down to its set temperature, the ice cube
maker will fill with water.
72
Making ice cubes
As soon as ice cubes are produced, they will empty automatically from the
integrated ice cube tray and into the drawer. The ice cube tray cannot be
removed. Ice cube production is halted automatically when the ice cube drawer
is full. The drawer will not fill up to the top edge. Tip: Empty the ice cube
drawer 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. The ice cube maker can be turned off independently of the
freezer section if you do not want to make any ice cubes. If the ice cube
maker is switched off, food up to a maximum height of 10 cm can be placed in
the ice cube drawer and frozen.
73
Defrosting
Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh Active zone
The refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh Active zone defrost
automatically. The condensate drains through a channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. The warmth
generated by the compressor causes the condensate to evaporate automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this. Condensate
must be able to drain away unhindered at all times.
Freezer zone
The appliance is equipped with a “NoFrost” system. The refrigeration appliance
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.
74
Cleaning and care
The data plate located inside the interior cabinet of the refrigeration
appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in
the event of a fault.
Do not let water get into the electronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and electrical
components. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents used in the interior cabinet of the
refrigeration appliance must be food safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use the following: –
Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides – Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents – Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. scour-
ing powder, scouring liquid or pumice stones) – Cleaning agents containing
solvents – Stainless steel cleaners – Dishwasher cleaner – Oven sprays – Glass
cleaning agents – Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes (e.g. pot scourers) –
Eraser stain remover blocks – Sharp metal scrapers We recommend using a clean
sponge and lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid to clean the
surfaces of the appliance.

76
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the inside of the appliance
The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (at least once a
month).
If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to
remove under certain circumstances. Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the interior with a clean sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up
liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently using a cotton swab or
similar item to ensure that condensate can drain away freely.
Leave the door open to air the refrigeration appliance sufficiently for a
short while and to prevent odour build-up.
