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 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.

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 every8gofcoolant at least 1 m 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.
3
of room space is required. The
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

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

20
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.
...intherefrigerator and the PerfectFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 4°C in the middle of the refrigerator.
DynamicCooling
The DynamicCooling fan automatically switches on when the cooling system for the refrigerator switches on. It distributes the temperature in the appliance to all areas evenly so that all the food will be chilled to about the same degree.
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:
The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 0to3°C.
When first touched, the last temperature selected flashes.
Each subsequent touch of a sensor, adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps.
21
The correct temperature
Leaving a finger on the sensor,
adjusts 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.
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.
Touch and leave your finger on the X
^
sensor.
At the same time, briefly touch the
^
On/Off sensor (without letting go of the X sensor).

^
another 5 seconds until c appears in the display.
^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until §
appears in the display.
^ Touch the On/Off sensor.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from 3°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.
Setting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is automatically held at 0 to 3 °C. It can be raised or lowered, e.g. if you want to use it for storing items like fish.

Using the refrigerator efficiently
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 area for storing butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator is directly above the PerfectFresh zone. However, the PerfectFresh zone is even colder.
Use these areas in the refrigerator and in the PerfectFresh zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.
fish, meat, poultry,
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 stored 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.
sausage products, ready meals,
dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream,
fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough,
soft cheese and other dairy products,
26
Using the refrigerator efficiently
Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C. Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, eggplants bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits hardens.
Foods which are sensitive to cold include:
Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, mandarines, grapefruits
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
capiscum, tomatoes, zucchini
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan
When shopping for food
Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored covered or packaged in the refrigerator section (there are some exceptions to this rule in the PerfectFresh zone - see below). 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.
Unpackaged meat and vegetables
Unpackaged meat and vegetables should be stored separately. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped.
The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is the most important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the appliance. 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.
27
Using the PerfectFresh zone
Food is stored in the PerfectFresh zone at lower temperature than in the conventional refrigerator section. The humidity in the PerfectFresh zone can be regulated to provide the correct conditions for food stored inside it.
Due to the optimum storage conditions created within the PerfectFresh zone, food remains fresh for longer, and flavour and vitamins are retained.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for fresh food which is not sensitive to the cold is0-3°C.This is the temperature range which is automatically maintained in the PerfectFresh zone. Food can be stored the PerfectFresh zone at this temperature without loss of freshness for considerably longer than in a standard refrigerator, as the deterioration process is decelerated at this temperature.
Remember that the initial freshness of the food when placed in the refrigerator/PerfectFresh zone is crucial for good storage results.
Humidity level
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh zone depends on:
The closer the storage humidity is to the moisture content of the food, the crisper and fresher the food remains over a longer period, as the water content of the food is largely retained.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone compartments
The PerfectFresh zone is divided into two areas, the dry compartment and the humidity-controlled compartment.
The dry compartment
The dry compartment has a relatively low humidity level that is approximately the same as that in the refrigerator. Therefore, the main advantage of the dry compartment is the low temperature, rather than the humidity.
– The dry compartment is ideal for
storing particularly sensitive foods, such as fresh fish, shellfish, meat, poultry, sausages, dairy products and salads.
Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.
moisture content of the stored food, and
the quantity of food being stored.
The regulator can be used to adjust the humidity level in the PerfectFresh zone.
28
Using the PerfectFresh zone
Always keep these foods covered or wrapped. Exception: Meat (The surface of the
meat dries out slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria, which results in the meat lasting longer. 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.)
The humidity-controlled compartment
The humidity-controlled compartment has a regulator which is used to adjust the relative humidity.
Slide the regulator to the relative humidity level required: Setting . = high humidity. The regulator closes the openings to the compartment and the humidity within is retained. The humidity depends heavily on the type and quantity of food being stored.
Please take into account that high humidity is only achieved and effective if the food is stored unwrapped or loosely wrapped.
The high humidity setting . is ideal for storing freshly harvested products such as vegetables, salad, herbs, mushrooms and home-grown seasonal fruit.
Setting , = low humidity. The regulator opens the openings to the compartment and the air within is able to escape. If the regulator is set to low humidity ,, this approximates the humidity level in the refrigerator section. The main advantage with this setting is the low temperature, rather than the humidity.
At the low humidity setting , the
atmosphere inside the humidity-controlled compartment is the same as in the dry compartment.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.
Can all types of food be stored together?
Do not place all types of food together in one drawer. Some types of food do not store well together. 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.
29
Using the PerfectFresh zone
Examples of fruit and vegetables which produce a large amount of this natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocados, figs, blueberries, melons and beans.
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.
30
Using the PerfectFresh zone
If you are not satisfied with the results of your stored food (e.g. food loses firmness and wilts shortly after placing in the appliance), keep in mind the following instructions:
Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is
^
crucial to maintaining freshness.
Clean the PerfectFresh zone before storing food in it.
^
Dry the surface of very moist food before placing it in the PerfectFresh zone.
^
Do not store any food in the PerfectFresh zone which is sensitive to cold
^
(see "Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator").
Please note that not all types of food can be stored together (see "Can all types
^
of food be stored together?").
Select the correct PerfectFresh compartment according to the type of food
^
being stored (high or low humidity level).
^ Store food with a high moisture content unwrapped in the PerfectFresh zone.
A high humidity level will be achieved by means of the moisture already contained with the food being stored. If the humidity level is not high enough (e.g. too little food is being stored), it can be increased by placing a damp sponge in the drawer.
^ If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is not correct, trying
adjusting it slightly by 1 to 2 °C via the refrigerator section temperature control. To avoid frost damage to food, a higher temperature must be set if ice crystals begin to form on the bottom of the PerfectFresh zone.
^
If too much water collects at the bottom of the PerfectFresh zone, dry it with a cloth. If necessary, dry food before placing it in the appliance or place a rack at the bottom of the PerfectFresh zone to allow water to drain off.
31
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.
^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf
forwards slightly and then push it carefully under the rear half.
To move the split shelf:
Take both halves of the split glass
^
shelf out,
fit the two brackets onto the supports
^
on either side at the required height,
^ and push the glass shelves in one
after the other. The shelf with the raised edge must be at the back.
32
Adjusting the interior fittings
PerfectFresh zone compartments
The compartments in the PerfectFresh zone are on telescopic rails, and can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes.
Pull out the compartment as far as it
^
will go, and then lift it up and out.
Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage.
Carefully pull out the lid between the
^
compartments slightly, and lift it down and out.
^ To replace it, insert the compartment
lid from beneath into the holders, and push it back into place.

Electrical connection
All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations.
The appliance is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single phase 220 – 240 V 50 Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.
The voltage and frequency are given on the data plate. Please ensure that these match the household mains supply. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible. For extra safety it is advisable to install a suitable residual current device (RCD).
The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured in order to be able to quickly separate the appliance from the mains.
If the mains socket is not accessible after the appliance has been built in, a separator for each terminal must be available. There must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch.
The plug and mains connection cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This, in turn, could result in a short circuit.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead or a plug adapter. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to an inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. Solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit.
The machine must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the machine, causing it to overheat.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Nor should other appliances be plugged into a socket located directly behind the wine conditioning unit.
47
Installation
Do not operate any appliance which gives off heat on top of the refrigerator, e.g. toaster, microwave oven. Risk of fire!
Side-by-side installation
To avoid a build-up of condensation and resultant damage, refrigerators and freezers should not generally be installed side by side next to other such appliances.
However, some appliances have side-wall heating making them suitable for side-by-side installation with this refrigerator.
Miele or your Chartered Agent will be able to advise you on which models are suitable to being installed side-by-side
^ Follow the instructions for the other
appliance on how to install the two appliances side by side.
Location
This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. It should not be installed where it is exposed to direct sunlight or directly adjacent to a heat-producing appliance such as an oven or a radiator. The room temperature should not go above or below the climate range for which the appliance is designed. The higher the ambient temperature of the room, the more energy the appliance requires to operate.
The mains connection socket must
not be located directly behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.
The plug and mains connection
cable must not come into contact with the rear of the appliance as they may be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.
Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly behind the wine conditioning unit.
Important! In areas of high humidity, condensate can build up on the external surfaces of the appliance. This condensation can cause corrosion on the outer walls of the appliance. To prevent this happening, it is recommended that the appliance is installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. After installation, check that the appliance door closes properly, that the air inlets and outlets are not covered, and that the appliance has been installed as described in these operating and installation instructions.
Please note the following when installing the appliance:

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.
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.
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.

Aligning the appliance door
The appliance door can be retrospectively aligned to the housing using the outer long slots in the lower hinge plate.
In the following illustration the door is not shown in the closed position to make it easier to see what happens next.
^ Remove centre screw a from the
hinge plate.
^ Slightly loosen both outer screws b.
For appliances with height adjustable doors (stainless steel appliances)
The height of the appliance door can be retrospectively adjusted on the outer, lower hinge plate.
^ Undo grub screw a with a full turn of
the Allen key supplied.
^
Align the door by sliding the hinge plate to the left or right.
^
Then tighten screws b again. Screw a does not need to be refitted.
^
Adjust the height of the hinge pin using the spanner supplied. To lift the door: turn the spanner to the right. To lower the door: turn the spanner to the left.
^
Tighten the grub screw. The hinge pin is now secure again.

Building in the appliance
* The depth of appliances with wall spacers is increased by approx. 35 mm.
a Top box
b Appliance
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.
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.
62
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.
