Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often 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 and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse. 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.
6

This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.
This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.
This appliance is intended for the cool storage food and drinks. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance is not suitable for storing and refrigerating medications, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar substances or products. Incorrect use of the appliance may result in damage to or spoiling of the food or drinks being stored. Furthermore, the appliance must not be operated in areas where explosions may occur.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning and maintenance work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.
Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance complies with all current local and national safety requirements.
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 any flames or anything which creates a spark,
–switch off at the mains and unplug the appliance,
–ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and
–call Miele.
9
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 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.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
If moisture gets into electrical components, it could cause a short circuit.
Therefore, do not operate this appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
10
Warning and Safety instructions
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check your appliance for any visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse has been disconnected, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), or
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele Original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
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 of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing the appliance in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the air vents must not be covered or blocked in any way.
Were the air vents to be blocked, it would increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
Make sure that any oil, or foods containing oil, do not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Flammable gases can ignite if they come into contact with electrical components. 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!
If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright in the refrigerator. Danger of explosion!
Food stored for too long may present a 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.
Use only Miele Original spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
The following applies to stainless steel appliances:
Do not place sticky notes, adhesive tape, masking tape or any other adhesive agent on the treated surface of the door. The coating will become damaged and lose its protective properties against soiling.
The high quality treated surface of the door is susceptible to scratching and even magnets can cause damage to the surface.
Cleaning and care
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal, as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
–remove frost and ice,
–separate frozen foods.
They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
Never 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 might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
–puncturing the refrigerant channels in the condenser,
–bending any pipework, or
–scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can harm the eyes.
