Technical safety

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliancecomplies with all current local and national safety requirements.

This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a naturalgas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, itdoes not damage the ozone layer and has a lower greenhouse effectthan some other refrigerants.The use of this coolant, however, leads to a slight increase in thenoise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of thecompressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing aroundthe system. This is unavoidable and does not have any adverseeffect on the performance of the appliance.Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of theappliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leakingrefrigerant can damage the eyes.In the event of any damage:

– avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,

– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,

– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for severalminutes, and

– call Miele.

The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the largerthe room should be in which it is installed. In the event of a leakage,if the appliance is in a small room, there is a danger of combustiblegases building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of roomspace is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is statedon a data plate inside the appliance.

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that theconnection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the dataplate corresponds to the household supply. Check that this is thecase before connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.


8

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safetyrequirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electricalinstallation tested by a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assuredif it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

If the connection cable supplied is damaged, it must only bereplaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the user.Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuineMiele replacement parts are used.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee therequired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mainsconnection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do notoperate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed tomoisture (e.g in a garage or laundry).

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Checkthe appliance for visible signs of damage.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this isapplicable), or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.


9

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could bedangerous. Maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliancesmust only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

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 plateinside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambienttemperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching offfor longer periods, with the result that it cannot maintain the requiredtemperature.

To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, theventilation gaps in the appliance and built-in structure must not becovered or blocked in any way. This would also increase the energyconsumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance orthe appliance door, make sure that it does not come into contactwith plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or breakthe plastic. Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts ofthe appliance.


10

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any productscontaining propellants (e.g. spray cans). Flammable gas mixturescan be ignited by electrical components. Danger of fire and explosion!

Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice creammaker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion!

Food stored for too long may present a risk of food poisoning.Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshnessand quality of the food, as well as the temperature at which it isstored. Follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer'spackaging regarding storage conditions and use-by dates.

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Stainless steel appliances

The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesivesand will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not adhere sticky notes,transparent tape, masking tape or other adhesives onto the stainlesssteel surface.

The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can causescratches.


11

Cleaning and care

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these willcause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Explanation of the differentsettings

Switching Holiday mode on/off

This function is useful when you go onholiday if you do not wish to switch therefrigerator off completely and do notneed a high degree of cooling.

The refrigerator is regulated at atemperature of 15 °C, whichautomatically sets the temperature inthe PerfectFresh Pro zone to between9 and 12 °C. In this way, the refrigeratorremains in operation whilst savingenergy.

As a result of the higher temperatureduring Holiday mode, the shelf life ofthe food is reduced.Do not store any temperature-sensitive food which goes off easilysuch as fruit, vegetables, fish, meatand dairy products during this time.

Food which does not go off quickly canbe stored in the refrigerator for sometime at this moderate temperature, andenergy consumption is lower than innormal operation. This also prevents the build-up ofodours and mould which can occur ifthe refrigerator is switched off and thedoor is closed.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

37

Different storage zonesDue to the natural air circulation thereare different temperature zones in therefrigerator.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowestsection of the appliance. Make use ofthe different zones when placing food inthe appliance.

Useful tip: To allow air to circulateefficiently, do not pack food too closelytogether in the refrigerator.

If there is insufficient air circulation,the cooling performance willdecrease and energy consumptionwill increase.Do not cover the fan in the rear wallof the appliance.

Useful tip: Do not store food in such away that it touches the rear wall of therefrigerator. as it may freeze to the backwall.

This appliance has DynaCool, whichhelps to keep an even temperaturewhen the fan is running. WhenDynaCool is operating, the differencebetween the various zones is lesspronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area is located in the topsection of the main storage area andthe door. Use this for storing butter sothat it remains spreadable and forcheese so that it retains its flavour.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator isdirectly above the PerfectFresh Prozone dividing plate and at the back ofthe appliance. The temperature in thePerfectFresh Pro zone compartments iseven colder.

Use these areas in the refrigerator andin the PerfectFresh Pro zone for alldelicate and highly perishable food, e.g.

– fish, meat, poultry

– sausage products, ready meals

– dishes or baked goods containingeggs or cream

– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza orquiche dough

– soft cheese and other dairy products

– pre-packed vegetables

– other fresh food with a label stating itshould be kept at a temperature ofapprox. 4 °C.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

38

Food which is not suitable forstorage in the refrigeratorNot all food is suitable for refrigerationat temperatures below 5 °C because itis sensitive to cold. Depending on thetype of food, the appearance,consistency, flavour and/or vitamincontent may be altered if stored at toocold a temperature.

Foods which are sensitive to coldinclude:

– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,pomegranates, mangoes, melons,papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruitssuch as lemons, oranges,mandarines, grapefruits

– Fruit (which is not yet ripe)

– Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,capsicums, tomatoes, zucchini

– Hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan,mountain cheese

Notes on buying foodThe freshness of the food when it is firstplaced in the appliance is the mostimportant factor for how long it staysfresh. Freshness is essential for a longshelf life.Take into account the use-by date andthe correct storage temperature.Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.transporting food in a warm car, shouldbe kept to a minimum.

Useful tip: Take a cooling bag whenshopping, and load food in theappliance as soon as possible.

Storing food correctlyEnsure that food stored in therefrigerator section is in packaging orcovered properly (some exceptionsapply in the PerfectFresh Pro zone).This will prevent food smells fromaffecting other foods, food from dryingout, and also any cross-contaminationof bacteria. This is especially importantwhen storing meat products.By ensuring that the temperaturesettings are correct and by takingappropriate hygiene measures, you canprolong the storage life of your foodconsiderably.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

39

The PerfectFresh Pro zone providesideal storage conditions for fruit,vegetables, fish, meat and dairyproducts. Food stays fresh considerablylonger while retaining both flavour andvitamins.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh Prozone is controlled automatically andmaintained at 0 to 3 °C. While lowerthan the temperature in a conventionalrefrigerator, this is the optimumtemperature range for storing fresh foodwhich is not sensitive to cold. As thedeterioration process is decelerated atthis temperature, food can be storedconsiderably longer without loss offreshness.

In addition, the humidity level in thePerfectFresh Pro zone can be regulatedto suit the food being stored. Foodretains its own moisture if stored at ahigher humidity and does not dry out asquickly. This allows it to stay crisp andfresh for longer.

Remember that the freshness of thefood when first placed in theappliance is the most important factorin determining how long it will stayfresh.

Take food out of the PerfectFresh Prozone approx. 30 to 60 minutes beforeusing it. The aroma and taste do notfully develop until the food hasreached room temperature.

The PerfectFresh Pro zone is dividedinto two compartments:

The Info system (shown here insections) above the PerfectFresh Prozone helps you to choose the correctcompartment and the appropriatesetting in the humidity controlledcompartment.

– The temperature in the upper drycompartment is between 0 and 3 °Cand the humidity level is notincreased . Use this compartment tostore fish, meat, dairy products andany other type of food, providing it iswrapped.

– The lower humidity controlledcompartment (or compartments,depending on model) has atemperature of 0 °C to 3 °C, and thehumidity level is increased dependingon the position of the slide control: not increased, or / increased.With increased humidity use thiscompartment to store fruit andvegetables.

Each type of food has its owncharacteristics and requires certainstorage conditions.


40

Dry compartment The dry compartment is suitable forstoring perishable foods such as:

– Fresh fish, shellfish and crustaceans

– Meat, poultry, sausages

– Deli salads

– Dairy products such as yoghurt,cheese, cream, quark etc.

– Any type of food can in fact be storedin this compartment, as long as it ispackaged.

The most important aspect of the drycompartment is its low temperature.The humidity level is similar to that in aconventional refrigerator.

Please note that foods rich in proteindeteriorate faster than others.Shellfish, for example, deterioratesfaster than fish, and fish deterioratesfaster than meat.

For hygiene reasons always keep thesefoods covered or wrapped.

Humidity controlledcompartment , /

Humidity level not increased

At the setting the humidity controlledcompartment becomes a drycompartment - the slide control opensthe vents in the compartment so thatmoisture can escape (see “Drycompartment ”).

Increased humidity /

With the slide control at the or setting, the humidity-controlledcompartment is suitable for storing fruitand vegetables:

– Select the setting if storing a largequantity of fruit and vegetables - theslide control partially closes the ventsin the compartment so that some ofthe moisture present is retained.

– To store only a small quantity of fruitand vegetables in the humiditycontrolled compartment, select the setting - the slide control closesthe vents in the compartmentcompletely so that all of the moisturepresent is retained.

Useful tip: If the humidity level is toohigh and a lot of moisture has collectedin the compartment, select the setting. If the humidity level is toolow, wrap the food in airtight packaging.

The humidity level in the humiditycontrolled compartment is determinedby the type and quantity of food beingstored when it is not packaged.


41

High humidity in the humiditycontrolled compartment can causecondensate to build up on the floorof the compartment as well asbeneath the lid.Wipe off any condensate with acloth.

Note for test institutes:When measuring the energyconsumption in accordance with thestandard, the slide control in thehumidity controlled compartmentshould be set to the setting(“humidity not increased”).

Regulating the humidity level inthe humidity controlledcompartmentThe slide control is used to regulate theamount of moisture in the humiditycontrolled compartment with thesettings , and .

Push the slide control all the way tothe back and then slowly release it.

The slide control will automatically clickinto the position.

To select setting or , push theslide control to the back again andrelease it so that it clicks into position or .


42

Storage results for food storedin the PerfectFresh Pro zone

Observe the following tips if you findthat food you have stored does notkeep well (e.g. food becomes limp orwilts after only being stored for ashort time):

– Only place fresh food in the applianceas the initial condition of the food iscrucial to maintaining freshness.

– Clean the PerfectFresh Pro zonecompartments before storing food inthem.

– Dry the surface of very moist foodbefore placing it in the refrigerator.

– Do not store any food in thePerfectFresh Pro zone which issensitive to cold (see “Food which isnot suitable for storage in therefrigerator”).

– Select the correct PerfectFresh Procompartment and the correct positionof the humidity controlledcompartment slide control (humiditynot increased or humidity increased).

– An increased humidity level / inthe humidity controlled compartmentis achieved by the moisture present inthe food being stored, i.e. the morefood stored in the compartment, thehigher the humidity.If too much moisture has gathered inthe compartment at the settingand the food has been affected,select the setting. Otherwise drythe floor and underneath the lid witha cloth and place a rack or similaritem in the compartment so thatexcess moisture can drain away.If the humidity level is too low despitethe setting, wrap the food inairtight packaging.

– If you think that the temperature inthe PerfectFresh Pro zone is too highor too low, try regulating it slightlyfirst by selecting a different level. See“Adjusting the temperature in thePerfectFresh Pro zone ”.

Under certain circumstances, a settingfrom 1 to 4 can cause negativetemperatures to be reached. Foodcould freeze.

– If the adjustment is not enough, tryregulating it by altering thetemperature of the refrigerator slightlyby 1 to 2 °C. If ice crystals start toform on the floor of the PerfectFreshPro compartments, increase thetemperature as otherwise the coldtemperature will damage the food.

Hervorheben

Ich denke, Herr Slater hat seinen Kommentaren hier eingefuegt, weil dieses Kapitel anders ist als in der GA des FNS28463. Ja, das stimmt. Hier wird nur die Möglichkeit der Side-by-side Installation erklärt. In der FNS 28463 wird direkt die Side-by-side Montage beschrieben, da diesen Geräten auch das Montage Kit beiliegt.

Installation

67

LocationThis appliance should be installed in adry, well-ventilated room.

When deciding where to install yourappliance please bear in mind that it willuse more energy if installed near aheater, cooktop or other appliance thatgives off heat. Direct sunlight shouldalso be avoided.The higher the room temperature, thelonger the compressor will run and thehigher the energy consumption will be.

When installing the appliance, pleasenote:

– The mains socket must not belocated directly behind the applianceand must be easily accessible.

– The plug and cable must not touchthe rear of the appliance as theycould be damaged by vibrations fromthe appliance.

– Nor should other appliances beplugged into a socket located directlybehind this appliance.

Risk of damage due tocondensation on the externalappliance panels.In environments with high humidity,condensation can build up onexternal appliance panels, which cancause corrosion.To prevent this, it is advisable toinstall the appliance with sufficientventilation in a dry and/or airconditioned room.After installation, make sure that theappliance door closes properly, thatthe specified ventilation gaps areadhered to, and that the appliancehas been installed in accordancewith these installation instructions.

Installation
