Children ages eight and up may only use the appliance oven without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner, and if they are able to recognize and understand the potential risks of improper use.
Children must not clean or service the appliance unless they are under supervision.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Children should be supervised when they are near the appliance. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with it or to use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Ensure that any packing material is disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
Technical safety
The coolant system is tested for leaks.
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 setting up 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 open flames and anything that creates a spark
–disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply
–air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes
–contact Miele Technical Service
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room in which it should be installed. In the event of a leakage, there is the danger of combustible gases building up if the
appliance is in a small room.
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of room space is required. The 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.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in order to protect the user from harm.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g., garages, laundry rooms, etc.).
Moisture can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
This appliance is not to be used in non-stationary locations, such as ships.
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.
To ensure safe operation, use the appliance only when it is installed.
The appliance must be disconnected from the electrical supply during installation, maintenance and repair work, and installation work on the water connection. The appliance is only completely isolated from the electrical supply when:
–The circuit breakers on the electrical service panel are tripped.
–The screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been removed.
–The power cord has been unplugged.
Pull on the plug and not on the cord when removing it from the outlet.
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations and the provided installation instructions.
Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment.
The ice cube maker is not intended to be used with a hot water supply line.
Repairs and other work performed by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Defective components should only be replaced by Miele original parts. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
Proper 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 turning off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
WARNING! Danger of damage from overheating. May restirct operation. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If you store fatty or greasy foods in the appliance or the appliance door, make sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance. This can cause the plastic to crack and break.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g., spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapors 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!
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer section. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance!
When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer section, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury and damage!
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 frost burn!
Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or popsicles in your mouth straight from the freezer section. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or popsicles can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Danger of injury!
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 refrozen after it has been cooked.
When eating stored food, there is a danger 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. Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage instructions!
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning and care
Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Never use a pointed or sharp-edged object to
–remove frost or ice
–separate frozen foods or remove ice trays
This will damage the evaporators, causing damage to the appliance.
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.
Rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes:
–before using for the first time
–if the ice cube maker hasn't been used for a long time
–regularly if the ice cube maker is constantly on (at least once a month) to remove ice residues and prevent the water pipes from becoming blocked
–before turning off the ice cube maker for a long period of time
Transport
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
The appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people. Danger of injury and damage!
Disposal of your old appliance
There is a risk of suffocation. Children playing can shut themselves in and suffocate.
–Take the door(s) off.
–Remove the drawers.
–Leave the storage shelves in the appliance so that children cannot easily climb into the appliance.
Danger of electric shock.

Turning the appliance on and off
Turning the appliance off
Touch the On/Off button.
If this does not work, the safety lock is activated.
The temperature will go out and the power supply symbol will appear.
The cooling process will be turned off.
Turning off the appliance in Sabbath mode
The appliance can be turned off directly at any time.
Touch the On/Off button.
The temperature will go out and the power supply symbol will appear.
The interior lighting goes out and the cooling is turned off.
When the appliance is turned back on again, Sabbath mode is deactivated.
Turning off for longer periods of time
If the appliance is not needed for a longer period of time:
turn the appliance off,
unplug the power cord or trip the circuit breaker,
empty the ice cube drawer,
close the water shut-off valve,
If the appliance is not needed for a longer period of time:
clean the appliance, and
leave the door slightly ajar to air out the appliance.
If, during a long absence, the appliance is turned off but not cleaned out and the doors are left shut, there is a danger of bacteria and odors building up inside the appliance.
16
The right 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.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is required. Partially defrosted or fully defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked.
The temperature in the appliance will rise for the following reasons:
–if you open the door frequently or keep it open too long,
–if you put too much food in it,
–if you put food in it that is too warm,
–if the room temperature is too high. The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (room temperature range) and should not be used outside this range.
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature display shows the average, current 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.
17
The right temperature
Sets the temperature
Use the two buttons underneath the display to set the temperature.
By touching the button:
–the temperature will get colder
–the temperature will get warmer
While the temperature is being set, the temperature value will flash.
When you touch the buttons, you will see the following changes in the display:
–When first touched: The last temperature selected flashes.
–Each subsequent touch of the button:
The temperature value adjusts in 1° steps.
–Keeping your finger on the button: The temperature changes continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after you release the button, the actual temperature value in the appliance will be displayed.
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 amount of time, the temperature is too high or too low, adjust it again.
Possible setting values for the temperature
The temperature can be adjusted from 5°F to -18.4°F (-15°C to -28°C).
18
Using SuperCool
For best results, turn on SuperCool before putting fresh food into the freezer.
Fresh food will be frozen quickly, so that the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste are maintained.
Exceptions:
–if you have already put frozen food into the freezer.
–when freezing up to 4.5 lb (2 kg) fresh food daily.
Turning on SuperCool
When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the SuperCool function should be turned on 6 hours beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food, the SuperCool function should be turned on 24 hours beforehand.
Touch the SuperCool button so that it is highlighted in yellow.
The temperature in the appliance now begins to fall since it is operating at maximum cooling capacity.
Turning off SuperCool
The SuperCool function will turn itself off automatically after approx. 65 hours. The quantity of fresh food placed in the freezer will determine the duration before the SuperCool function turned off. The SuperCool symbol will go out and the appliance will run at normal cooling capacity again.
To save energy, the SuperCool function can be turned off once a constant temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is reached inside the freezer section. Check the temperature inside the appliance.
Touch the SuperCool button so that it is no longer highlighted in yellow.
The appliance now continues running at normal cooling capacity.
19
Temperature and door alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open.
Temperature alarm
If the freezer temperature becomes too warm, the alarm symbol for the freezer flashes in the display and an alarm will also sound.
The point in time at which the appliance detects a temperature range as too warm depends on the selected temperature.
The audio and visual signals are triggered, for example:
–when the appliance is turned on and the temperature in the freezer differs greatly from the set temperature,
–when too much warm air flows into the appliance, for example, when food is being re-arranged or taken out,
–when freezing large amounts of food at once,
–when there is a loss of power,
–when the appliance is defective.
The alarm will stop and the alarm symbol will go out as soon as the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.
However, if the temperature in the freezer remains above 0°F (-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 or cook it before freezing it again.
Turning off the audio alarm
If the audio alarm bothers you, it can be silenced.
Touch the button to turn off the temperature alarm.
The alarm will stop and the alarm symbol will continue to flash until the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.
20
Temperature and door alarm
Door alarm
An alarm will sound if the door is left open for too long. The alarm symbol will light up.
The amount of time until the door alarm is triggered depends on the setting selected and can be either 2 minutes (factory default) or 4 minutes. However, the door alarm can also be turned off (see "Additional settings - Acoustic signals").
As soon as the door is closed, the audio alarm is silenced and the alarm symbol will disappear from the display.
If no audio alarm sounds even though a door alarm is available, then the audio alarm has been turned off in settings mode (see "Additional settings - Acoustic signals").
Turning off the audio alarm
If the audio alarm bothers you, it can be silenced.
