Switching On And Off; Switching Off For Longer Periods Of Time - Miele K 12010 S Operating And Installation Manual

Before using for the first time
The stainless steel trim to the interior
shelves and the door shelves has a
layer of protective foil to prevent
damage during transportation.
^ Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with luke warm water
and a little washing-up liquid, and
then dry with a soft cloth.
^ Carefully remove the protective foil
from the stainless steel trim.
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
^ Turn the On/Off and temperature
selector dial in a clockwise direction
away from the "0" position.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
The appliance will start to cool, and the
interior lighting will come on when the
door is opened.
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.

Switching on and off

Switching off
^ Turn the On/Off and temperature
selector dial in an anti-clockwise
direction from "1" back to the "0"
position. You will meet a little
resistance as you do so.
The cooling system and the interior
lighting are now switched 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,
^ defrost the freezer compartment
(depending on model),
^ 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.
