• Fully-integrated.
• Accepts custom panel or stainless steel front.
• Bottom mount freezer.
• MasterCool controls.
• When Miele's MasterCool control system is activated, the user is greeted with a food-driven menu system.
• Easy to view, understand and adjust for each of its four independent cooling zones.
• This intuitive functionality helps to create and maintain the optimum conditions required for specific food categories so freshness is locked in.
• Now that's some cool, useful technology.
• ClearView lighting system.
• The bright ClearView lighting system illuminates every nook of the interior cabinet on each level to achieve maximum exposure of all contents.
• With this unique halogen-based lighting system cascading from the top and sides of the appliance, blind or dark spots are eliminated.
• Makes it easy to see and access virtually all food items.
• Even those items tucked in the rear of a fully stocked freezer, concealed by large catering platters or nestled in the storage drawers are in ClearView.
• Drop and Lock shelving system.
• Moving shelves and bins on the door and inside the appliance cabinet is simply a one-handed operation.
• Miele's convenient Drop and Lock system keeps each unit firmly aligned on its slide-rail framework so an easy 'tilt up and slide motion' is all it takes to move the unit higher or lower.
• Once the desired position is located, simply drop the piece and watch it automatically lock securely into place.
• SmartFresh storage drawers.
• SmartFresh drawers allow you to store and preserve food items perfectly at their individual temperature and humidity requirements.
• Using Miele's revolutionary MasterCool controls, simply select the drawer location and food item type from the menu system, and their signature electronics manage the rest.
• MasterCool will adjust and maintain the ideal conditions so your food items are kept SmartFresh and nutritious longer.
• FullView extendable storage drawers.
• Miele's FullView storage drawers are built from top-quality materials to ensure stability as they fully extend.
• Provides an unobstructed view and easy access to contents.
• FullView is a built-in benefit found in all Independence Series appliances... refrigerators, freezers and wine storage.
• SuperCool loading function.
• Engaging SuperCool will override the thermostat and begin cooling the cabinet to a reduced temperature... 35°F in the refrigerator and -22°F in the freezer.
• SuperCool will continue working to achieve these lowered temperatures for a period of 6 or 52 hours (for the refrigerator and freezer, respectively) until it reaches this exact degree or it is disengaged by you.
• The result... an accelerated cooling process designed to lock in freshness, taste and texture.
• RemoteVision.
• Miele's RemoteVision Wi-Fi technology creates a 'virtual link' between your appliance and their monitoring center.
• If a fault occurs, Miele's client service center will be immediately notified and contact you, shortly thereafter, to gain access to your home in order to fix the problem.
• RemoteVision... 21st-century technology working hard to give you total satisfaction.
• Dual compressor system.
• Ice maker and water/ice dispensing units deliver a truly refreshing drink thanks to Miele's dual compressor system.
• All Miele preservation appliances have a dedicated cooling system responsible for each interior compartment.
• Guarantees the refrigerator and freezer - even if they are housed in a single product like a bottom-mount appliance - do not exchange air.
• This technology eliminates flavor transfer so the salmon stored in your refrigerator doesn't affect the quality of your ice cubes.
• Stability-Hinge.
• Miele products are known the world over for their robust construction.
• Fully-loaded, with food items on the inside of the door and an elaborate, decorative custom panel on the outside, these hinges are capable of carrying a collective weight of over 200 pounds.
• Tested for over 200,000 door cycles... that's twice the industry standard!
• This stamina ensures the door will stay stable, secure and won't sag over time.
• 422 kWh consumption per year.
