Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in your freezer compartment, check that the packaging is not damaged, the best-before date, the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the supermarket. The length of time the food can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18C. ^ 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. ^ Store it in the freezer section as soon as possible. Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible, because it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Do not refreeze defrosted food until after it has been cooked.
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 ^ Freeze food in portions. Unsuitable packing material - wrapping paper - greaseproof paper - cellophane - garbage bags - plastic shopping bags Suitable packing material - plastic freezer wrap -freezer bags - aluminium 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 - rubber bands - plastic clips - string - cold-resistant adhesive tape Freezer bags and pouches can also be sealed using a home heat sealing kit.
^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Before placing food in the freezer section ^ If you plan to freeze more than 2 kg of fresh food, the SuperFreeze function should be swicthed on ahead of time, before placing the food in the freezer section (see "SuperFreeze"). Placing food in the freezer section Although fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, it is preferable to use the upper drawers. Large quantities can be placed directly on the glass cold plates to freeze the food quickly. To do this, first take out one or several freezer drawers. Each drawer and glass cold plate can support a maximum of 25 kg. ^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the glass cold plates in the freezer 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. When freezing, make sure that already frozen food does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.

(may vary by model) The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer from rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food, or on the freezer tray to save space. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. If there is a power cut, place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible. When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the cool pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen, so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw. The cool pack can also be used in a cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.

Freezer tray

(may vary by model) The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries, herbs and vegetables. These can be frozen individually to maintain their shape when defrosted.
^ Space the food out loosely on the tray. ^ Hang the tray in one of the upper freezer drawers. Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a freezer bag or suitable container once frozen. Place the bag or container in the freezer drawer.
Making ice cubes (may vary by model)
For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to the household water line. To ensure that the water pipes are thoroughly flushed through, you must not consume the first three batches of ice from the ice maker. This applies not only when the appliance is first being used after installation, but also if it has been out of use for a longer period of time (for example, after being away on holiday). Making a large amount of ice cubes The amount of ice cubes made depends on the temperature in the freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes are produced within a given period of time. Once the ice cube drawer is full, ice cube production is automatically halted. If you require a large amount of ice cubes, ^ replace the full ice cube drawer with the drawer beside it on the right. Once the empty drawer has been placed in position and closed properly, the ice cube maker will begin to produce new ice cubes again.
Switching the ice cube maker ON
^ Switch the freezer ON. ^ Open the top left drawer in the freezer section.
^ Press the ON/OFF button, and the indicator light will now come on. ^ Close the drawer. The drawer must be completely shut for ice cubes to be produced. After the appliance is turned on for the very 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. Thereafter, when the ice cube maker is switched off and then on again it will take a maximum of 6 hours for ice to be produced.

Switching OFF the ice cube maker
If you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes, the ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section. ^ Press the ON/OFF button on the ice cube maker, and the indicator light will now come on. If the ice cube maker is switched off, the ice cube drawer can be used as an extra drawer for freezing fresh food or storing frozen food.

Automatic defrosting

Refrigerator section
During normal operation, condensate and frost can form on the back wall of the refigerator section. These are automatically removed by the appliance during automatic defrosting.

Freezer section

The freezer is equipped with a "frost-free" system, which automatically defrosts the freezer section as needed, to prevent build-up. The moisture generated in the appliance collects on the condenser, and is automatically defrosted and evaporated periodically. This automatic defrosting system keeps the freezer section permanently ice-free, while ensuring that the food stored in the freezer section does not defrost.
The condensate is drained away through a channel and drain hole, then fed into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance. It is important to keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean and free of blockages, so that the condensate can flow away properly.

Cleaning and care

Before cleaning
Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda (sodium carbonate), acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matte areas to appear. Stainless steel surfaces can be treated using a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (available from the Miele Spare Parts Department). Follow the manufacturers instructions (on the packaging). Do not let water enter the electronic unit, the glass-edge lighting, the door display or the ventilation slits. When cleaning, do not let water enter the drainage channel or drain hole. Do not use steam-cleaning equipment to clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information that will be required in the event of a Service call. ^ Switch the appliance off by pressing both On/Off switches, then unplug it. ^ Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place. ^ Take out any removable parts, e.g., shelves, for cleaning.
