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 11g of coolant at least 1m3 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 is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
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 con-
nection 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.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply dur-
ing installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation
work on the mains water connection. It is only completely isolated
from the power supply when:
8
Warning and Safety instructions
- the mains fuses are switched off, or
- 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 sup-
ply.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty mains
water connection.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
This refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special lamp to
cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only
be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a
Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department. This refrigeration appliance contains several light sources
with at least energy efficiency classG.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the
data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A
lower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch off
for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable
to maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
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.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans
or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze
in the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling
drinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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 defros-
ted 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 instruc-
tions 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.
Accessories and spare parts
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.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and care
Rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes:
- 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) and
- before switching the ice cube maker off for a long 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this ap-
pliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- separate frozen food or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost 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.
Transport
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal 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 dam-
age 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
Warning and Safety instructions
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal operation.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-
rates the airways.
13
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.
Disposing of your old appliance
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.
14
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.

21
Switching on and off
Before using for the first time
Packaging material
Remove all packaging material from
the inside of the appliance.
Removing the protective foil
Carefully peel the protective foil off.
Cleaning the appliance
Please refer to the relevant instructions in “Cleaning and care”.
Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories.
Operating the appliance
A light touch of the finger on the
sensors is all that is required to operate
this appliance.
Every touch of a sensor is confirmed
with an audible tone. This keypad tone
can be switched off (see “Selecting further settings” – “Audible tones”).
Switching the appliance on
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.
When the appliance is connected to the
electrical supply, the mains connection
symbol will appear in the display
after a short while.
22
Touch the On/Off control.
The refrigeration appliance will start
cooling. The power connection symbol will go out and the temperature
display will appear.
The temperature display and the alarm
symbol will flash at the same time
until the required temperature is
reached. If the current temperature inside the appliance is above 0°C, two
bars will flash in the display.
When the appliance door is opened, the
interior lighting comes on and the LED
lighting becomes brighter until it
reaches its maximum brightness.
Switching on and off
To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the refrigeration appliance, allow the appliance to run for
approx. 2hours before placing food in
it.
Do not place food in the freezer section until it has reached the required
coldness (at least -18°C).
Switching off
Touch the On/Off sensor.
If this does not work, the safety lock
is still activated.
The temperature display will go out and
the mains connection symbol will
appear.
The cooling process will be switched
off.
Switching off for longer periods 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 the appliance off at the wall
socket and pull the plug out of 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 inlet is turned off (e.g. while on
holiday).
Close the stopcock for the water in-
let.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.
23
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.
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the average, current
freezer temperature in the refrigeration appliance.
If the temperature is not within the normal temperature display range, dashes
will flash in the display.
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.
Setting the temperature
Use the two sensors underneath the
display to set the temperature.
By touching the sensor
- the temperature will get colder,
- 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.
24
- the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The following information shows in the
display while the sensors are being
touched:
- Touching a sensor once: the last
temperature selected flashes.
- Each subsequent touch of the
sensor: adjusts the temperature
shown in 1°C steps.
- Leaving a finger on the sensor
changes the temperature continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last
time a sensor has been touched, the
current temperature inside the appliance is automatically shown.
Or
Touch the OK sensor to confirm your
selection.
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, as it
will take this long for the appliance to
give an accurate reading.
The correct 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 can be adjusted from
-15°C to -28°C.
25
Using Super freeze
Super freeze function
Switch on Super freeze before putting
fresh food into the freezer.
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 2kg fresh food
daily.
Switching on Super freeze
The Super freeze function should be
switched on 6 hours before placing
food for freezing in the freezer. When
freezing the maximum amount of food
the Super freeze function should be
switched on 24 hours beforehand.
Touch the Super freeze control so
that it is highlighted in yellow.
Switching off Super freeze
The Super freeze function will switch itself off automatically after approx.
65hours. The quantity of fresh food
placed in the freezer will determine the
duration before it switches off. The Super freeze symbol will go out and the
appliance will run at normal power
again.
To save energy, you can manually
switch off the Super freeze function
once a constant temperature of -18 °C
or colder has been reached in the
freezer section. Keep an eye on the
temperature as it falls.
Touch the Super freeze control so
that it is no longer highlighted in yellow.
The appliance will then continue running at normal power.
The appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the freezer.
26
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 decom-
posing food.
If the temperature in the freezer re-
mains 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, the alarm symbol
will flash in the display. An alarm tone
will also sound.
The temperature the refrigeration appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being
too warm.
Audible and visual signals will be activated, for example:
- When the refrigeration appliance is
switched on and the temperature in
the appliance differs greatly from the
set temperature.
- If a lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when frozen goods are being
loaded, rearranged or taken out.
- When freezing large amounts of food
at once.
- When freezing fresh food which is still
warm.
- In the event of a mains outage.
- If the refrigeration appliance has a
fault.
The alarm will stop and the alarm symbol will go out as soon as the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.
Switching the temperature alarm off early
If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off if you wish.
Touch the sensor for switching off the
temperature alarm.
The alarm will stop.
The alarm symbol will remain illuminated until the set temperature has
been reached.

The alarm will sound if the door is left
open for a long time. The alarm symbol lights up in the display.
The amount of time until the door alarm
is triggered depends on the setting selected and can be either 2minutes
(factory default) or 4minutes. However,
the door alarm can also be turned off
(see “Selecting further settings” - “Audible tones”).
The alarm will stop and the alarm symbol will go out as soon as the door
is closed.
If the audible tone does not sound in
the event of a door alarm, then the
audible tone has been switched off in
settings mode (see “Selecting further
settings” - “Audible tones”).

If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off if you wish.
Touch the sensor for switching off the
door alarm.
The alarm sound will stop.
The alarm symbol will continue to be
lit up until the door is closed.
