Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of your  
old appliance with your household  
waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure that they  
are recycled.  
It should be unplugged or  
disconnected from the mains electricity  
supply by a competent person.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

Switching on and off  
Before using for the first time  
Allow the appliance to run for a few  
hours before placing food in it. This will  
ensure that the temperature is  
sufficiently low.  
^ Clean the inside of the appliance and  
the accessories with warm water and  
a little washing-up liquid, and then  
dry with a soft cloth.  
Cool pack  
Important:  
Place the cool pack in the top drawer  
or, to save space, on the freezer tray.  
The cool pack will be at its most  
effective after it has been in the freezer  
for approx. 24 hours.  
To ensure the correct functioning of  
the appliance, let it stand for  
between 1½ and 2 hours after  
transporting it to its final location  
before connecting it to the mains.  
Switching off  
Switching on  
^ Using a coin turn the On/Off master  
dial in an anti-clockwise direction  
back to the "0" position.  
The refrigerator and freezer sections  
are switched on together with the  
master dial on the right hand side of the  
control panel.  
The temperature displays will go out out  
and the cooling process is switched off.  
To switch the refrigerator section off  
separately  
The refrigerator section can be  
switched off without having to switch off  
the freezer section. This is useful e.g.  
whilst on holiday.  
^ Using a coin turn the master On/Off  
dial in a clockwise direction away  
from the "0" position.  
Forcing it beyond its range will  
damage it. Turn it only as far as it  
will go, then turn it back again.  
The temperature display for the  
refrigerator section will light up and the  
interior lighting will come on when door  
is opened.  
^ Using a coin turn the On/Off dial for  
the refrigerator section in an  
anti-clockwise direction back to the  
"0" position.  
The temperature display for the freezer  
section will light up. The alarm indicator  
light will also light up. It will go out when  
the temperature in the freezer is cold  
enough.  
The temperature display for the  
refrigerator section will go out and the

Switching off for longer  
periods of time  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday,  
^ switch the appliance off,  
^ switch off at the wall socket and  
withdraw the plug,  
^ clean the appliance out and  
^ leave the doors ajar to air the  
appliance.  
If, during a long absence, the  
appliance is switched off but not  
cleaned out and the doors are left  
shut, there is a danger of mould and  
odours building up inside the  
appliance.

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro-organisms. Reducing  
the temperature reduces their growth  
rate.  
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.  
Food may be re-frozen once it has  
been cooked, as the high temperatures  
achieved when cooking destroy most  
micro-organisms.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperatures for the refrigerator  
and freezer sections are set using the  
appropriate temperature dial.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
^ Using a coin turn the dial for the  
refrigerator section or for the freezer  
section in a clockwise direction away  
from the "0" position.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
Turn it only as far as it will go, then  
turn it back again. Turning it beyond  
its range would damage it.  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
Temperature displays  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
The temperature displays on the  
control panel always show the  
required temperature.  
For example, if you want to set the  
temperature for the refrigerator section  
at 5 °C,  
. . . in the refrigerator section  
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C  
^ turn the temperature dial for the  
refrigerator section clockwise from 0

in the middle of the refrigerator section.

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen  
food for a long time, a temperature of  
-18 °C is required. At this temperature  
the growth of micro-organisms is

generally halted. As soon as the  
temperature rises above -10 °C, the  
micro-organisms become active in the  
food again so that it cannot be kept as  
long. For this reason, partially defrosted

Alarm  
Your appliance has been fitted with a  
warning system which ensures that the  
temperature in the freezer cannot rise  
unnoticed. An alarm will sound and the  
alarm indicator light will flash if the  
temperature becomes too warm.  
Activating the alarm system  
The alarm system is always active. It  
does not have to be switched on  
manually.  
Switching the alarm off early  
For example, the alarm may sound and  
the alarm indicator light may flash,  
The alarm will stop and the indicator  
light will go out when the temperature  
reaches the correct level again.  
However, if the noise disturbs you, you  
can switch the alarm off before this if  
you wish.  
– if you freeze a large amount of food  
at once without having switched on  
the Super freeze function  
beforehand.  
Depending on the temperature in the  
freezer, you should check the condition  
of the food. If food has defrosted or  
started to defrost, check that it is still  
safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly  
as possible. Defrosted food may only  
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.  
^ Press the alarm off button.  
The alarm will stop. The indicator  
light will stay on until the correct  
temperature has been reached. The  
alarm system is then ready should it  
be needed again.

Using Super freeze and Dynamic cooling  
Freezing fresh food  
Super freeze  
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.  
Switch the Super freeze function on  
before putting fresh food into the  
freezer section.  
Exceptions:  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
– when putting in food that is already  
frozen.  
– when freezing less than 2 kg fresh  
food daily.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
In practice this means that the food  
loses a large degree of its moisture.  
Switching on Super freeze  
When freezing small quantities of food  
in the freezer section, the Super freeze  
function should be switched on 6 hours  
beforehand. When freezing the  
maximum load of food the Super  
freeze function should be switched on  
24 hours beforehand.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink 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.  
^ Press the Super freeze button. The  
Super freeze indicator light will come  
on.  
The appliance works at full power to  
lower the temperature in the  
appliance.

Different storage zones  
Do not store explosive materials in  
Due to the natural circulation of the 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  
the different zones when placing food  
in the appliance.  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Warmest area  
If storing bottles of oil or food  
containing high levels of fat or oil in  
the appliance, take care not to let  
the fat or oil come into contact with  
plastic components. These can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components.  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Coldest area  
The coldest area in a refrigerator is  
directly above the vegetable  
containers.  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance, as it may freeze to  
the back wall.  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
Not all food is suitable for storing in the  
refrigerator. These include:  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– Fruit and vegetables which are  
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,  
avocado pears, papaya, passion  
fruit, aubergines/eggplant,  
peppers/capsicum, tomatoes and  
cucumbers  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4 °C.  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Storing food correctly  
Unpacked meats and vegetables  
Store food covered or packaged. This  
will prevent food smells or tastes from  
affecting other foods, and prevent food  
from drying out and also any  
Different types of unpacked meats and  
vegetables must be kept separate. To  
avoid any microbiological  
cross-contamination, these foods may  
only be stored together if they are  
cross-contamination of bacteria. The  
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, wrapped.  
can be avoided by setting the correct  
temperature and maintaining good  
standards of hygiene.  
Protein rich foods  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.  
Shell fish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.  
Fruit and vegetables  
Fruit and vegetables can be stored  
loose in the vegetable containers.  
However, you should bear in mind that  
some types of vegetables give off a  
natural gas which speeds up the rate at  
which food perishes. Some fruit and  
vegetables react strongly to this gas  
and should not be stored together.  
Meat  
Meat should be stored loosely covered  
in suitable containers or packaging.  
Allowing the surface of the meat to dry  
slightly helps to prevent the growth of  
bacteria. To prevent the risk of bacterial  
cross-contamination meat should not  
be allowed to come into contact with  
other foods.  
Examples of fruit which produce a  
large amount of this natural gas are:  
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,  
peaches, plums, avocado pears and  
figs.  
Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which react strongly to the natural  
gases given off by other types of fruit  
and vegetables are:  
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,  
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,  
pears, nectarines and peaches.

remove it by pulling it forwards.  
^ Raise the shelf at the front, pull it out  
half way, and then lift it out.  
^ Replace the door shelf at the  
required position. Ensure that it is  
securely pushed back into position.  
^ With the rear barrier facing upwards,  
place the shelf at the required  
position.  
Moving the bottle divider  
The rear barrier must face upwards  
to prevent food from touching the  
back of the appliance and freezing to  
it.  
(depending on model)  
The bottle divider can be moved to the  
left or right to ensure that bottles are  
held securely in position when the door  
is opened and shut.  
The shelf which does not have this  
rear barrier must always be fitted in  
the top shelf position. This gives you  
more flexibility for arranging storage  
within the refrigerator.  
(depending on model)  
Split shelf  
In order to accommodate tall items in  
the appliance, one of the shelves is  
divided. The front section can be  
pushed under the rear section.  
^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf  
forwards slightly and then push it  
carefully under the rear half.

– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
Storing frozen food  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer, check  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop. The  
length of time it can be kept is  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed. To blanch: bring a large  
saucepan of water to the boil,  
immerse the vegetables in the fast  
boiling water for 2-3 minutes,  
depending on variety. Remove, and  
plunge into ice-cold water to cool  
quickly. Drain and pack ready for  
freezing.  
reduced if it has been stored at a  
temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
^ 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 as soon as  
possible.  
Never re-freeze 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.  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

freezing. Only season cooked food  
lightly before freezing, but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Before placing food in the freezer  
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of  
fresh food, switch on the Super  
freeze function for some time before  
placing the food in the freezer  
section (see "Super freeze").  
– 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.  
Placing food in the freezer section  
Food to be frozen can be placed  
anywhere in the freezer section.  
Packing  
Large quantities can be placed directly  
onto the glass cold plates to freeze the  
food quickly. To do this first take out  
one or more freezer drawers.  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
When freezing large items e.g. a turkey  
or a large joint of meat, the glass plate  
in between two of the freezer drawers  
can be removed to give more room.  
This way food can be stored in the  
space of two drawers.  
- bin bags  
- plastic carrier bags  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
Each drawer and glass cold plate  
can be loaded with a maximum of  
25 kg.  
- aluminium foil  
- freezer containers  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
The bottom freezer drawer must not  
be taken out of the appliance.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
If you remove the top drawer make  
sure that you do not block the  
ventilation slits in the back wall of  
the appliance. They are important  
for trouble-free operation of the  
appliance.  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat sealing kits.  
24  
 
Freezing and storing food  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the drawers or on the glass cold  
plates so that it freezes through to the  
core as quickly as possible.  
^ Slide the markers onto the guide  
runners on the edge of the drawers.  
Use the markers to indicate the type of  
food being frozen, and turn the dials to  
the appropriate number to indicate the  
month the food was first placed in the  
freezer.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
When freezing, make sure that food  
already frozen does not come into  
contact with fresh food being frozen  
as this could cause the frozen food  
to begin to defrost.  
Defrosting  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
Freezer calendar  
The freezer calendar on the freezer  
drawer gives the length of time which  
various foods can be stored for  
effectively.  
– at room temperature,  
– in the refrigerator,  
– in a steam oven.  
Where the storage time given on the  
packaging differs, follow the advice on  
the packaging.  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away  
and wash the container it was in, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning!  
Marker system for frozen food  
Markers serve as a reminder of how  
long food has been stored.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packing, or in a  
covered bowl.  
Each freezer drawer has two slide  
markers with dials. The months are  
represented on the dials as 1 – 12.  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh  
vegetables.  
25  
 
Freezing and storing food  
Cooling drinks  
Never re-freeze 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.  
If bottles are placed in the freezer  
section for rapid cooling, make sure  
they are not left in for more than one  
hour, as they could burst.  
Freezer tray  
The freezer tray is useful for freezing  
small items such as berries and  
vegetables. They can be frozen  
individually and therefore maintain their  
shape when defrosted.  
Ice cube tray  
(with release button, depending on  
model)  
^ Press down the release button on the  
ice cube tray and fill the tray with  
water. Any excess will flow out  
through the outlet.  
^ Space the food out loosely on the  
tray.  
^ Hang the tray in one of the upper  
freezer drawers.  
^ Now pull the release button up to  
seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray  
on the bottom of one of the 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.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
remove the ice tray from the freezer  
compartment.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by twisting the tray  
gently or by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
26  
 
Freezing and storing food  
Cool pack  
The cool pack prevents the  
temperature in the freezer 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.

evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer section to remain  
permanently ice-free, however, the food  
stored in the freezer section will not  
defrost.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the outer casing, the  
interior and accessories  
Never use cleaning agents  
containing abrasive substances  
such as sand, soda, acids or  
chemical solvents.  
Use warm water with a little washing up  
liquid. Wash all accessories by hand  
only. Do not wash in a dishwasher. The  
butter dish is, however, dishwasher  
safe.  
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are  
also unsuitable as they can cause  
matt areas to appear.  
^ Clean the appliance at least once a  
month.  
Make sure that water cannot get into  
the electronic unit, into the light or  
into the ventilation gaps.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that  
condensate can drain away

unhindered. Use a straw or similar to  
clear the drain if necessary.  
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,  
the interior and accessories with a  
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.  
Leave the doors open to air the  
appliance for a short while.  
Do not use steam cleaning  
apparatus to clean the appliance.  
Steam could reach the electrical  
components and cause a short  
circuit.  
Door handle  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is required

Aluminium is affected by the way that  
light falls on it, by the surrounding  
environment and by the angle you  
observe it from.  
Before cleaning  
The aluminium coloured handle may  
suffer discolouration or damage if  
soiling is left on it for too long.  
^ Switch the appliance off, switch off at  
the socket and remove the plug.  
Remove any soiling straight away.  
^ Take any food out of the appliance  
and store it in a cool place.  
Warning: The handle is susceptible to  
scratches and abrasions.

The door seals should be cleaned  
regularly with clean water and then  
wiped dry with a soft cloth.  
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts  
Department which is suitable for  
cleaning surfaces such as stainless  
steel, glass, plastic and chrome  
without the use of chemicals.  
Metal grille at the back of the  
appliance  
The metal grille at the back of the  
appliance (heat exchanger) should be  
dusted at least once a year. A build-up  
of dust will increase the energy  
In addition to the cleaning agents  
mentioned previously, you should also  
avoid  
consumption of the appliance.

Important: Appliances without side  
wall heating must not be installed  
"side-by-side" next to another  
refrigerator or freezer. This could  
cause condensation between the  
two appliances and subsequent  
damage.  
Operating in a room which is too cold  
will cause the cooling system to switch  
off for too long causing the internal  
temperature in the appliance to rise  
with the risk of food deteriorating and  
going off.  
Ventilation  
Location  
Air at the back of the appliance gets  
warm. To ensure sufficient ventilation,  
the ventilation gaps must not be  
covered over. The air inlet and outlet  
must not be covered or blocked in any  
way. They should be dusted on a  
regular basis.  
The appliance should be installed in a  
dry, well-ventilated room.  
The room temperature should not go  
above or below the climate range for  
which the appliance is designed.  
The higher the ambient temperature of  
the room, the more energy the  
appliance requires to operate.  
Installation  
It should not be installed where it is  
exposed to direct sunlight or directly  
adjacent to a heat-producing appliance  
such as an oven or a radiator.  
^ Remove any cable clips from the  
back of the appliance.  
^ Check that all parts at the back of the  
appliance are unhindered. Remove  
any hindrance.  
Climate range  
^ Carefully push the appliance into  
position. The appliance can be  
placed directly against a wall.  
The appliance is designed for use  
within certain climate ranges (ambient  
temperatures), and should not be used  
outside this range. The climate range of  
this appliance is stated on the data  
plate inside the appliance.

Changing the door hinging  
The appliance is supplied right-hand  
hinged. If left hand door hinging is  
required, follow the instructions below.  
^ Remove the cover caps from the  
opposite side, and fit them into the  
empty holes.  
Removing the door handles:  
Changing over the doors:  
First the side sections of the handles  
must be removed:  
^ Open the lower door.  
^ Pull door handle a towards you. Side  
section b slides back, creating a  
gap d between side section b and  
mounting plate c.  
^ Use a screwdriver to lever plinth a  
out, then pull it forwards and out.  
^ Place a suitable object (e.g. a spoon  
handle) in gap d, and slowly lever  
the handle towards the door.  
^ Use a screwdriver to remove cover  
b, then close the door.  
^ Remove screw c completely.  
^ Pull door support d together with  
hinge pin e downwards, then tilt it  
forwards and take it off.  
Be careful not to let the "spoon  
handle" slip, causing damage to the  
appliance.  
^ Open the lower appliance door,  
move it downwards and take it off.  
The side section b can now be  
removed.  
^ With the upper door g closed, pull  
hinge pin f downwards to remove it.  
^ Pull side section b out of the guides  
on the mounting plate.  
^ Loosen the 4 screws (Torx 15) in the  
mounting plate, and remove the  
handle.  
39  
 
Changing the door hinging  
^ Exchange cover h in the middle of  
the appliance with hinge bracket e.  
To do this:  
Undo screws i, pull cover h and  
hinge bracket e off to the side, turn  
around, and refit and screw into  
position on the opposite side.  
^ Pull bearing bush d downwards out  
of hinge bracket e and refit it from  
above into the hinge bracket.  
^ Remove spacer g with a screwdriver  
and refit it on the opposite side.  
^ Remove plugs j from the door  
bearing bushes in the doors and refit  
on the opposite side.  
^ Hang the upper door in hinge pin c  
(remember to use washer a), then  
close the door.  
^ Open the upper door, and pull it  
downwards and off. Take care not to  
lose washer a.  
^ Push middle hinge pin f from below  
through hinge bracket e into the  
upper appliance door.  
^ Using a screwdriver remove covers  
b.  
^ Unscrew upper hinge pin c using  
the spanner supplied, and refit on the  
opposite side.  
^ Check that the upper door is  
correctly aligned. If necessary align it  
using the long slots in hinge bracket  
e.  
^ Put covers b back on again from  
behind, and then push them firmly  
into place.  
^ Hang the lower door in hinge bracket  
e then close the appliance door.

Changing the door hinging  
Refitting the handles:  
In the following illustration the lower  
door is not shown in the closed  
position to make it easier to see  
what happens next.  
Please make sure you follow the  
instructions below carefully when  
you refit the handle. The door seal  
will be damaged if the handle is  
fitted incorrectly.  
^ Loosely attach the handle to the  
opposite side of the door with the two  
front screws b.  
^ Turn door support b around, pull  
hinge pin a out, and refit on the  
opposite side.  
Mounting plate c must be positioned  
on the side of the door so that when the  
door is closed it is flush with the side of  
the appliance.  
^ Fit both parts into hinge plate f. To  
do this push hinge pin a through  
hinge plate f into door support b.  
Swing the door support in, push  
upwards and re-assemble with screw  
c.  
If this is not the case,  
^ tighten both grub screws a with the  
allen key provided until mounting  
plate c lines up correctly.  
^ Align the lower door with the  
appliance housing using the long slot  
in hinge plate f. Then tighten screw  
c.  
^ Then tighten all 4 fixing screws b.  
^ Refit plinth fascia d, pushing it firmly  
into position.  
^ With the lower door open, secure  
cover e to the front of the plinth  
fascia.  
41  
 
Changing the door hinging  
^ Slide the side section of the handle  
d into the guides on the mounting  
plate until it clicks into place.  
It is important to check that the side  
section of the handle d does not  
come into contact with the door seal  
when opening the door, as this  
would damage the door seal  
permanently.  
If, after you have refitted the handle,  
you find that the side section does  
touch the door seal when the door is  
opened:  
^ Realign mounting plate c with grub  
screws a until the mounting plate  
and the side section of the handle d  
are at the correct angle and that the  
side section does not touch the door  
seal when the door is opened.

Building in the appliance  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen  
furniture housing unit. The appliance  
door b will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by  
51 mm in the middle of the door. This  
enables the doors to be opened and  
shut without being obstructed.  
When installed next to a wall c a  
distance of approx. 36 mm is needed  
on the hinge side between the wall and  
the appliance, so that the doors and  
handles have sufficient space for  
opening.  
The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance and top box, if fitted, for air  
to circulate.  
A gap of at least 40 mm is required  
between the top of the appliance (or  
top box) and the ceiling to ensure that  
air can circulate without hindrance.  
Otherwise the appliance has to work  
harder, resulting in an increase in  
electricity consumption.
