6
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU directives.
This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flammable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
The use of this refrigerant 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 refrigerant flowing around the cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
-Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
-Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity supply.
-Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.
-Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration 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 a combustible gas/ air mixture building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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 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.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the electrical connection cable supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele spare parts are used.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply during installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation work on the mains water connection. It is only completely isolated from the power supply when:
- the mains fuses are switched off, or
8
Warning and Safety instructions
-the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or
-the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty mains water connection can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only ever be carried out by a Miele-authorised technician.
The ice-cube maker must only be connected to a cold water supply.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty mains water connection.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
Correct use
The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your 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 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 components.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
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.
Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or to the metal.
Danger of injury. 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 zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can cause frost burn to the lips and 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Cleaning and care
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice to rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes. Do this:
-before using for the first time
-if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time
-regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month) to remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the water supply)
-before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to
-remove frost and ice,
-separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Transport
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
-puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
-bending any pipework, or
-scratching the surface coating.
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
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 appli-
ance
Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigeration appliance’s pipework before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the cooling circuit and oil in the compressor is contained, and will not leak into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal. For further information, see “Warning and Safety instructions” in these operating and installation instructions.

Guide to the appliance
Writing on the appliance doors
(Blackboard edition)
The appliance doors are made from safety glass with a satin finish which is printed on the back. This surface allows you to write on the appliance doors, for example, to leave a note for other members of the family.
Before writing on the glass front for the first time, it is advisable to clean the entire surface with a microfibre cloth suitable for glass and lukewarm water.
Then dry the surface with a soft cloth.
Risk of damage due to writing with the wrong products.
Never write on the glass front with a ballpoint pen, crayon or pencil, correction pencil, wax crayon, oil chalk, felt-tip pen (e.g. permanent marker, highlighter, foil pen, etc.). They are difficult or impossible to remove from the glass front.
Only use the products recommended to write on the glass front as these can be removed easily.
We recommend the following products for writing on the doors:
-Liquid chalk pens,
such as an edding 4095 chalk marker (supplied as an accessory)
-Traditional blackboard chalk
Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning.
The glass front can alter and discolour if you spot-clean it, remove soiling when it is dry or use the wrong cleaning agent.
In order to keep the glass surface in optimum condition, please observe the instructions given in “Cleaning and care – Cleaning agents – Cleaning the front of the appliance and the side panels”.

Switching on and off
Switching off for longer peri-
ods of time
If, during a long absence, the refrigeration appliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a risk of mould forming inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, observe the following:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the fuse.
Empty the ice-cube drawer.
Risk of damage to the ice-cube maker.
If the water inlet is blocked while the ice-cube maker is still in use, the water inlet pipe can freeze up.
Turn the ice-cube maker off if the water supply is turned off (e.g. while on holiday).
Close the stopcock for the water inlet.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for long periods, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of bacteria is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the bacteria become active in the food again so 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 bacteria.
The temperature in the refrigeration appliance will rise:
-The more often the appliance door is opened and the longer it is kept open.
-The more food is stored in it.
-The warmer the food is which is being put into it.
-The higher the ambient temperature surrounding the refrigeration appliance. This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.
Temperature display
-18°C
Status display
In normal operation, the refrigeration appliance temperature display shows the lowest temperature in the freezer.
Depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature setting, it can take the appliance a few hours to reach the temperature required and for this temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature in the display.

The correct temperature
Setting the temperature
Touch the temperature display.
The previously set temperature will appear.
-18°C
OK
Use the and arrows to set the temperature higher or lower.
Touch OK immediately after setting the temperature to confirm your entry.
Or wait approximately 8 seconds after the last touch of a sensor. The temperature will then be automatically adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also be confirmed and adopted by closing the appliance door.
The temperature display will then change to the current temperature in the appliance.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from -14 °C to -28 °C.
Tip: If 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. It will take this long for the appliance to give an accurate reading.
If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

Using Super freeze
The Super freeze function can also |
Switching SuperFreeze on and off |
be switched on. |
Touch the temperature display. |
Super freeze function
For optimum results switch on the Super freeze function before putting fresh food into the freezer section. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.
Exceptions:
-When placing food in the freezer that is already frozen
-When freezing up to 1 kg of fresh food daily
The SuperFreeze function should be switched on 6 hours before placing food in the freezer section.
When freezing the maximum amount of food the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.
When SuperFreeze is switched on, the appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the freezer.
The SuperFreeze function will switch itself off automatically after approx.
65 hours. The quantity of fresh food placed in the freezer will determine the time before the SuperFreeze function turns off.
Tip: To save energy, you can manually switch off SuperFreeze once the freezer reaches a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder. Monitor the temperature in the freezer section.
When SuperFreeze is switched off, the appliance will run at normal power again.

Temperature and door alarm
The appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open.
Temperature alarm
Health risk caused by decomposing food.
If the temperature in the freezer remains above -18 °C for a long time, the frozen goods can start to defrost. This will reduce the storage life of the food.
Check whether the frozen goods have started to defrost. If they have, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.
If the temperature in the freezer becomes too warm, will light up red in the temperature display. An alarm will also sound until the cause of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is switched off.
The temperature the refrigeration appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.
The temperature alarm is only displayed on the status display and not when selecting a setting.
A temperature alarm is displayed before an existing door alarm.
The audible and visual signals will be activated if:
-You switch on the refrigeration appliance and the temperature in a temperature zone differs greatly from the set temperature.
-A lot of warm room air enters the freezer when you are rearranging or taking out frozen goods.
-You are freezing large amounts of food at once.
-You are freezing warm food.
-There was a mains outage.
-The refrigeration appliance has a fault.
The alarm will stop and will go out as soon as the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.

Temperature and door alarm
Switching the temperature alarm off early and checking the warmest temperature
If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off if you wish. You can also find out what the warmest temperature was in the freezer.
Touch .
The fault message is confirmed, and the alarm will stop. The start screen appears in the display: the warmest temperature recorded in the freezer will flash for about 1 minute in the display. Then the temperature display will change to the current temperature in the freezer.
You can exit from the flashing temperature display early:
Touch the temperature display.
The warmest temperature displayed will disappear. The display will then revert to showing the current temperature in the freezer.
Door alarm
The refrigeration appliance is fitted with a warning system to avoid increased energy consumption and prevent stored food becoming warm if the door is left open.
If the appliance door is left open for a longer period of time, will light up yellow in the temperature display. An audible alarm will also sound.
The amount of time until the door alarm is triggered depends on the setting selected (factory default setting =
1 minute) and can be changed (see “Selecting further settings – Changing the time until the door alarm is triggered”). However, the door alarm can also be turned off (see “Selecting further settings – Setting the volume/ Switching alarms and audible tones on/ off”).
The alarm will stop and will go out in the display as soon as the door is closed.
The door alarm is only displayed on the start screen.
The door alarm is automatically supressed when you are in Settings mode. No symbol will be displayed and no alarm will sound.
If an alarm does not sound even though the door is open, the alarm has been switched off in Settings mode (see “Selecting further settings – Setting the volume/Switching alarms and audible tones on/off”).
