Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging
materials

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.

Disposing 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.

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 into the environment.

Please ensure that your old appliance
presents no danger to children while
being stored awaiting disposal. See
"Warning and Safety instructions" for
more information.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

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.
Splashes of coolant can injure the eyes.
In the event of any damage:

–

avoid any open 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

–

contact the Service Department for advice.

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 authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.

competent person.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

The ice cube maker is not suitable for connection to a hot water

~

supply.

Before making plumbing connections, ensure that the machine is

~

disconnected from the mains electrical supply.

Never tamper with the movable components on the ice cube

~

maker, including the ice cube expulsion mechanism or the element
on the ice cube maker. Danger of injury.

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, e.g. a garage, will lead to the compressor switching off
for longer periods so that the appliance cannot maintain the
required temperature.

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the

~

efficiency of the appliance, increase the energy 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 sparking and
explosion.

~

liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could
explode, causing injury or damage.

When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are

~

not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst,
causing injury or damage.

Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with

~

wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or metal parts.
Danger of frost burn.

Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place

~

ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The
very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frostburn
to the lips or tongue.

Do not refreeze 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.

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. Follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer's
packaging regarding storage conditions and "use-by" dates.

To avoid the risk of any potential illness, do not deactivate the

~

reminder to change the water filter.

Rinse the pipework of the ice/water dispenser and also clean the

~

ice/water dispenser thoroughly before using it for the first time.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.

~

^ 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.

22

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.

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
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.

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 placed 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.

Setting the temperature in the
freezer

Touch the access sensor so that it is

^

highlighted in yellow.

The temperature inside the appliance

^

can be selected by touching the
arrow sensors on either side of the
temperature display.

By touching the

X sensor: the temperature will get

colder

Y sensor: the temperature will get

warmer.

The temperature range being set will
flash in the display as you do this.

–

Touching the sensor once:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.

–

Keeping your finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.

If the highest or lowest temperature that
it is possible to set is reached, the X or
Y sensor will disappear from the
display.

The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
required temperature.

23

The correct temperature

When you have adjusted the
temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours

if the appliance is not very full and
for approx. 24 hours if the appliance
is full before checking the temperature

display, as it will take this long for the
appliance to reach the temperature. If,
after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature in the freezer can be
adjusted:

– with the ice/water dispenser

switched off: from -14 °C to -24 °C

– with the ice/water dispenser

switched on: from -18 °C to -24 °C

The ambient temperature in the
room and the installation location
can affect the time it takes for the
appliance to reach the lowest
temperature. If the ambient
temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.

Temperature
(Fahrenheit/Celsius)

The temperature can be displayed in
degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.

Touch the access sensor so that it is

^

highlighted in yellow.

Take note of the position of the X

^

sensor (but do not touch it!).

Touch the access sensor until it is

^

highlighted in white and all of the
other sensors are no longer lit up.

^ Place your finger in the position of the

X sensor, and leave it there.

^ At the same time, briefly touch the

access sensor (without moving your
finger from the X sensor).

^ Leave your finger on the X sensor for

another 4 seconds until c and the Y
sensor also appear in the display.

24

^

Now touch the X sensor repeatedly
until † appears in the display.

^

Touch the access sensor again.

The correct temperature

By touching the X sensor, you can

^

now set the temperature to be
displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

†0: Temperature in Fahrenheit
†1: Temperature in Celsius
† –: Return to menu

After selecting a new setting, touch

^

the access sensor to confirm your
choice.

Now touch the X sensor repeatedly

^

until c appears in the display.

^ Touch the access sensor again.

You have now left settings mode.

The door alarm is automatically
disabled when the appliance is in
settings mode. As soon as the door
is closed, the door alarm is
activated again.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
required temperature.

The temperature display will flash if

a different temperature is being set,

–

the temperature in the appliance has

–

risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.

This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:

– when the door has been left open for

a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,

– when fresh food is being frozen.

However, if the temperature in the
freezer remains above -18 °C for a
long time, check that the frozen food
has not started to defrost. If it has,
check that the food is safe to use
and if it is, then use it as soon as
possible.

25

Temperature and door alarm

Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the appliance cannot
rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if the door is left open.

Activating the alarm system

The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature in the freezer
becomes too warm, the sensor for
switching off the temperature or door
alarm will flash on the control panel.

An audible alarm will also sound.

The temperature display will show the
warmest temperature which has been
reached.

The alarm will sound and the sensor for
switching off the temperature or door
alarm will flash, for example,

Switching the temperature
alarm off early

If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off early if you wish.

Touch the sensor for switching off the

^

temperature or door alarm.
The alarm will stop.
The sensor for switching off the
temperature or door alarm will remain
on and will only go out when the
temperature has returned to normal.
