Miele KD 12823 S Refrigerator User Manual


 
Refrigerator section
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. You do not need to
remove this, as it will defrost and
evaporate automatically with the
warmth generated by the refrigerator.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.
Freezer section
The freezer section does not defrost
automatically.
In normal use, ice and frost will form in
the freezer. If allowed to accumulate,
this will impair the efficiency of the
freezer and increase the consumption
of electricity.
Do not scrape ice and frost off as
this can cause damage and render
the appliance unusable.
The freezer section should be defrosted
from time to time. It must be defrosted if
a layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^ Switch on the Super freeze function
approx.1 day before defrosting to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve for longer when taken out of
the freezer.
^
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer section and place it in
another freezer or cool box, or wrap it
in several layers of newspaper or
cloths.
^
Store it in a cool place until the
freezer section is ready for use again
^
Take all freezer drawers out of the
freezer section.
