Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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 it with your
household waste.
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.
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.

Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must
~
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their
head and suffocate.
Technical safety
The coolant system is tested for leaks. The appliance complies
~
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU
guidelines.
This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
~
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a
slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the
noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant
flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have
any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking
refrigerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–
avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,
–
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,
–
ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
–
call the Service Department.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it
~
should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in
a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.
For every8gofcoolant at least 1 m
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance.
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
~
connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data
plate corresponds to the household supply.
Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
~
when it is correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
3

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges
~
(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.
The climate range of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient
temperature will lead to the appliance switching off for longer
periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the
~
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the appliance.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
~
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
~
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components
could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and
explosion.
Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric
~
ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking
and explosion.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage
~
instructions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several factors, including the
freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which
it is stored.
Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.
~
Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

How to save energy
Normal energy
consumption
Use Drawers, shelves and racks
arranged as they were when
the appliance was delivered.
Only open the door when
necessary and for as short a
time as possible.
Store food in an organised
way.
Take an insulated cool bag
with you when shopping and
place food in the appliance as
soon as possible.
Replace any food removed as
quickly as possible, before it
begins to thaw.
Allow hot food and drinks to
cool down before placing
them in the appliance.
Increased energy
consumption
Frequent opening of the door
for long periods will cause a
loss of coldness. The
appliance works harder to
cool down and the
compressor runs for longer
periods.
Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the
temperature inside the
appliance. The appliance
works harder to cool down
and the compressor runs for
longer periods.
Store food covered or
packaged.

19
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.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
the more often the door is opened
–
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
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 refrigerator.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at 0to3°C.
Dynamic cooling
The dynamic cooling fan switches on
automatically when the cooling system
for the refrigerator switches on. It
distributes the temperature in the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
