SmartFresh drawers The SmartFresh drawers provide the right combination of temperature and humidity. The result is freshness up to three times longer than in the other zones of the refrigerator. Storage temperatures For fresh foods that are not adversely affected by cold, the best range is 32°...
Page 17
For optimal storage conditions, it is always best to store similar foods together in one drawer. The upper SmartFresh drawer is the best place to store moisture sensitive foods. Foods that are best stored under dry conditions – fresh fish and shellfish, meats, poultry, sausage, dairy products and deli salads.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of these different zones when placing food in the appliance.
When the SuperCool function is activated, the appliance is cooled as cold and quickly as possible (to a factory-preset temperature). The SuperCool function is ideal for the rapid cooling of drinks and for refrigerating large quantities of foods. Switching on SuperCool ^ Touch the sensor button for the refrigerator so it turns yellow.
Automatic defrost Refrigerator and SmartFresh drawers The refrigerator and SmartFresh drawers defrost automatically. During normal operation, condensate and frost can form on the rear wall of the refrigerator and drawers. You do not need to remove this build-up, it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the heat generated by the appliance.
Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Using both hands, grasp the shelf from underneath and lift slightly so that the rear of the shelf is slightly above the mountings. ^ Pull the shelf forward. ^ Move the shelf to the desired height, then insert the (rear) hooks into place.
Page 22
Adjusting the interior fittings SmartFresh drawer These drawers are set on telescopic tracks. They can be pulled in and out for loading and unloading, or removed for cleaning. ^ Open the drawer. On the hinged side of the door is a safety lock, which must be turned to a horizontal position before the drawer can be removed.
Adjusting the door shelves For easier loading, unloading, and cleaning, the door shelves can be shifted or completely removed. ^ Using both hands, grasp the door shelf by the frame and tip it slightly forward. ^ Slide the tipped shelf up or down along the slide-rails, and click it into place with the lower hooks.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner (available from Miele). Only use a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap to clean this appliance. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
Aluminum frames The shelf frames are made of aluminum. ^ Clean the frames with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. Aluminum is susceptible to scratches and nicks, treat with care. The aluminum frames may become discolored or otherwise altered if soiling is not cleaned away promptly.
Cleaning and care Ventilation slits ^ Check the ventilation slits in the base panel regularly. Remove any dirt/dust with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Clean as needed. Door seals Do not use oil or grease on the door seals. This may cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.
Changing the light bulb The lighting automatically switches off after the door has been open for approx. 5 minutes. This is not a fault. After the bulb has cooled for a short time it will turn on again. If the light does not come on when the door is opened briefly, the light bulb should be changed.
Page 28
Cleaning and care Side lighting ^ Turn the light cover counterclockwise and pull out. Never touch a halogen bulb with bare fingers. When inserting a glass halogen bulb, always hold with a soft cloth. ^ Pull the defective light bulb from the socket.
With the aid of the following guide minor problems can be corrected without a ser- vice call.
