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.

This appliance complies with all
relevant local and national safety
requirements. Improper use 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.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Correct application
This appliance is intended for
~
domestic use only for the cool storage
of food and drink.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage resulting
from the incorrect or improper 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
are supervised whilst using it, or have

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the appliance,
~
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install and use a
damaged appliance.
A damaged appliance is dangerous.
If the connection cable is faulty it
~
must only be replaced by a service
technician authorised by the
manufacturer to protect the user from
danger.
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, but does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the appliance. Care
must be taken during transportation
and setting up of the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are
damaged. Leaking coolant can
damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
- avoid open flames and anything
which creates a spark,
- disconnect from the mains,
- air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
- contact Miele for advice.
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
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.
Safe operation of the appliance is
~
only assured if it has been installed and
connected in accordance with these
operating and installation instructions.
Before connecting the appliance,
~
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
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).

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.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage or injury caused by the lack
of or inadequacy of an effective
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Installation, maintenance and
~
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
While the appliance is under
~

or
the mains fuse has been
–
disconnected, or
– the screw-out fuse has been
removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
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.
This appliance may only be used in
~
mobile installations if a risk assessment
of the installation has been carried out
by a suitably qualified engineer.
In areas which may be subject to

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never store explosive materials in
~
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Thermostats switching on may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard. Flammable compounds
could explode.
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.
Danger of explosion.
Observe the "use by" dates 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 food
manufacturer's packaging on storage
conditions required, as well as the "use
by" date.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
~
–
remove frost and ice,
–
separate food which has become
frozen.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
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.
Do not use mechanical devices or
~
other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
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 store cooking oil in the
~
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
~
the appliance as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
~
within certain climate ranges (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 use a steam-cleaning
~
appliance to clean this appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.

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.
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 stored 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.
. . . temperature in the
refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the middle of the refrigerator.
Setting the temperature
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 being set will flash in
the display.
When touching the sensors, the
following information shows in the
display:
– Touching a sensor once: the last
temperature selected flashes.
– Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–
Leaving a finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.
When the highest or lowest
temperature in the range is reached,
the X or Y sensor disappears.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off the sensor, the average,
current temperature inside the
appliance is automatically shown.
17
Page 18
The correct temperature
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
display 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.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
2°Cto9°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 display
During normal operation, the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the average temperature
in the refrigerator.
The temperature display will flash if
–
the temperature is not within the
possible temperature range (0 °C to
19 °C),
–
a different temperature is being set.

Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with an
alarm to avoid energy being wasted if
the door is left open and to prevent
stored food becoming too warm.
The alarm will sound if the door is left
open for more than approx. 2 minutes.
The Alarm off sensor will light up red
and the "Cooling" symbol will flash.
The alarm will stop and the indicators
will go out as soon as the door is
closed.
To switch off the door alarm
whilst the door is still open
If you want to keep the door open
intentionally for more than approx.
2 minutes, you can switch the alarm off.
Touch the Alarm off sensor.
^
The alarm will stop.
The Alarm off sensor will light up
constantly and the "Cooling" symbol
will continue to flash until the door
has been closed.
To switch on the door alarm
The alarm system switches back on
automatically as soon as the door is
closed. It does not have to be switched
on manually.

SuperCool and DynamicCooling
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Switching on SuperCool
SuperCool is particularly recommended
for the faster chilling of large amounts
of fresh food or drink.
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor. It will
light up yellow.
The appliance will then work at full
power to lower the temperature.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function will switch itself
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
The appliance will then continue to
work at normal power.
DynamicCooling m
When the DynamicCooling function is
not switched on, the natural circulation
of air in the appliance will cause
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will
sink to the lowest section of the
appliance. You should bear this in mind
when placing food in the appliance
(see "Using the refrigerator efficiently").
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, it is a good idea to switch on
DynamicCooling. This way you can
distribute the temperature inside the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
The temperature is set as normal with
the temperature control.
DynamicCooling should also be
selected when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 33 °C), and
–
the room humidity level is high.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^
Touch the SuperCool sensor so that
the yellow indicator is dimmed.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
20
Switching on DynamicCooling
^
Touch the DynamicCooling sensor. It
will light up yellow.

pre-packed vegetables and other
Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
This appliance has DynamicCooling,
which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running.
When DynamicCooling is switched
on, the difference between the
various zones is less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
directly above the vegetable
containers.
Use this for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.
–
fish, meat, poultry,
–
sausage products, ready meals,
–
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the refrigerator as it may freeze to
the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator. Do not
cover the fan in the rear wall of the
refrigerator as this is essential for
keeping the appliance cool.

Using the refrigerator efficiently
Food which should not be
stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration,
as some food is sensitive to cold.
Cucumbers, for example, become
glassy, eggplants bitter and potatoes
sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their
aroma, and the peel on citrus fruit
hardens.
Food which should not be stored in a
refrigerator includes:
pineapple, pomegranate, bananas,
–
avocado, mangos, papaya,
passionfruit, citrus fruit
– fruit which is not yet ripe
– eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
capsicum, tomatoes, zucchinis
– some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan
When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh,
and how long it can be kept in the
refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,
e.g. during transportation, should be
kept to a minimum. For example, do not
allow food to stay in a hot car for too
long. Once food has started to
deteriorate, this process cannot be
reversed. As little as two hours outside
the refrigerator can cause food to start
deteriorating.
Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged. This will prevent
food smells from affecting other foods,
food from drying out, and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. The
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,
can be avoided by setting the correct
temperature and maintaining good
standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables may be stored
loose in the vegetable containers.
Please be aware that not all types of
fruit and vegetables are suitable for
storing in the same container. Aromas
and flavours can transfer from one type
of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb
the smell and flavour of onions very
easily). Some food also gives off a
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up
the rate at which other food perishes.
– Examples of fruit and vegetables
which produce a large amount of
this natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocado, figs,
blueberries, melons and beans.
23
Page 24
Using the refrigerator efficiently
Examples of fruit and vegetables
–
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of
fruit and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers,
tomatoes, pears, nectarines and
peaches.
Example: Broccoli should not be
stored with apples, as apples
produce a large amount of natural
gas to which broccoli is very
sensitive. The result is a shorter than
expected storage time for the
broccoli.
Unpacked meat and vegetables
Unpackaged meat and vegetables
should be stored separately. To avoid
any microbiological crosscontamination, these foods may only be
stored together if they are wrapped.
Meat
Meat should be stored unwrapped.
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat
loosely covered, and leave containers
open). This permits air to circulate
around the meat, allowing the surface
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk
of bacterial cross-contamination and
meat deteriorating, do not let one type
of meat come into direct contact with
another type.
Protein rich foods
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.

Adjusting the interior fittings
Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards
^
slightly until the notch at the side is in
line with the shelf support. It can then
be raised or lowered to the required
level.
The raised edge at the back must face
upwards to prevent food from touching
the back of the appliance and freezing
to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from
being dislodged by mistake.
Split shelf
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance, one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be
pushed under the rear section.
^ Lightly push the rear glass shelf from

Automatic defrost
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator whilst it
is in use. You do not need to remove
this, as it will defrost and evaporate
automatically with the warmth
generated by the appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.
28

Changing the door hinging
Attach panel b to SoftClose
^
mechanism bracket d.
Align bracket d to the hinge plate,
^
and insert pin e from above so that
the right angle fits into the recess.
^ Click cover f back into place.
Make sure that cover f fits properly so
that the door can be closed without
hindrance and the pin is secured.
^ Remove retaining clip g.
Refitting the handle
Please make sure you follow the
instructions below carefully when
you refit the handle. The door seal
will be damaged if the handle is
fitted incorrectly.
^ Loosely attach the handle to the
opposite side of the door with the two
front screws b.
^
Replace panel b onto the SoftClose
mechanism from above, clicking it
back into place first at the bottom
and then at the top.
^
Close the appliance door.

Mounting plate c must be positioned
on the side of the door so that when the
door is closed, it is flush with the side
of the appliance.
If this is not the case,
^
tighten both grub screws a with an
Allen key until mounting plate c lines
up correctly.
^
Then tighten all 4 fixing screws b.
^
Slide the side section of the handle
d into the guides on the mounting
plate until it clicks into place.
Page 49
It is important to check that the side
section of the handle d does not
come into contact with the door seal
when opening the door as this would
damage the door seal permanently.
If, after you have refitted the handle,
you find that the side section does
touch the door seal when the door is
opened:
Realign mounting plate c with grub
^
screws a until the mounting plate
and the side section of the handle d
are at the correct angle and the side
section does not touch the door seal
when the door is opened.

Building in the appliance
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.
When built into a kitchen run (max.
depth 580 mm), the appliance can be
installed directly next to a kitchen
furniture housing unit. The appliance
door will protrude in front of furniture
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by
55 mm in the middle of the door. This
enables the doors to be opened and
shut without being obstructed.
When installed next to a wall d,a
distance of approx. 55 mm must be
maintained on the hinge side between
the wall d and the appliance b so that
the doors and the handles have
sufficient space for opening.
c Housing unit
d Wall
The appliance can be installed in a
kitchen run. To match the height of the
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can
be fitted with a suitable top box a.
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance across the entire width of the
top box for air to circulate.
The cross section of the air outlet under
the room ceiling must be at least
300 cm
2
to ensure that air can circulate
without hindrance. Otherwise the
appliance has to work harder, resulting
in an increase in electricity
consumption.
