Miele FN 12620 S - Manual (Page 12)

Before using for the first time
^ Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with lukewarm water
and a little washing-up liquid, and
then dry with a soft cloth.
Important:
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 on
^ Press the On/Off button.
The temperature display and the alarm
indicator light will flash until the freezer
has cooled down to the correct
temperature for freezing.
To enable the temperature to get
sufficiently cold inside the appliance,
allow the appliance to run for a few
hours before placing food in it.
Cool pack
Place the cool pack in the top drawer
or, to save space, in the shallow freezer
drawer. The cool pack will be at its
most effective after it has been in the
freezer for approx. 24 hours.
Switching off
^ Press the On/Off button until the
temperature display goes out.
All the displays will go out and the
cooling system will switch off.
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 door ajar to air the
appliance.
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned out and the door is left shut,
there is a danger of mould and
odours building up inside the
appliance.
