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.
7

Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
8
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 work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
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.

9
Warning and Safety instructions
Please bear in mind that by removing the dividing panel in the large freezer basket, children may be tempted to climb inside. THIS COULD PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER.
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.
10
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, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and rated load) matches 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.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. 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).
11
Warning and Safety instructions
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.
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, maintenance 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 spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty connection to the mains water supply.
Connection to the mains water supply and any repairs to the ice cube maker must only be carried out by a Miele approved technician.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
The ice cube maker is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
Connect the appliance to a potable water supply only.
Before making plumbing connections, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
Never tamper with the movable components on the ice cube maker or the element on the ice cube maker. Danger of injury!
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 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, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the air vents must not be covered or blocked in any way.
It would also increase the energy consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil, make sure that it does 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 gas mixtures can be ignited by electrical components.
Danger of fire and explosion!
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, 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 ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Danger of injury!
Do not refreeze thawed or partially thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible, as food soon loses its nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
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.
To avoid the risk of any potential illness, do not deactivate the reminder to change the water filter.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
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 and remove ice trays.
They will damage the evaporators, 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.
15
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 damage the eyes.

21
Switching on and off
Switching off for longer periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:
switch the appliance off,
switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the mains fuse or remove the screw-out fuse in countries where this is applicable,
turn off the tap to the water supply (a few hours before you switch off the appliance),
empty the ice cube container,
clean the appliance out,
replace the water filter and
leave the door ajar to air the appliance.
If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the doors are left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.
22
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.
. . . in the freezer
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the micro-organisms become active in the food again so that 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 micro-organisms.
Setting the temperature in the freezer
Touch the access sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.
The temperature inside the appliance can be selected by touching the arrow sensors on either side of the temperature display.
By touching the
sensor: the temperature will get colder
sensor: the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature range being set will flash in the display as you do this.
–Touching the sensor once: adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps.
–Keeping your finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously.
If the highest or lowest temperature that it is possible to set is reached, the orsensor will disappear from the display.
The temperature display on the control panel always shows the selected temperature.
23
The correct temperature
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, as it will take this long for the appliance to reach the 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:
– In the freezer from -14 °C to -24 °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 (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
Touch the access sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.
Take note of the position of the sensor (but do not touch it!).
Touch the access sensor until it is highlighted in white and all of the other sensors are no longer lit up.
Place your finger in the position of thesensor, and leave it there.
At the same time, briefly touch the access sensor (without moving your finger from the sensor).
Leave your finger on the sensor for another 4 seconds until c and the sensor also appear in the display.
Now touch the sensor repeatedly until † appears in the display.
Touch the access sensor again.
24
The correct temperature
By touching the sensor, you can now set the temperature to be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
†0: Temperature in Fahrenheit
†1: Temperature in Celsius
†–: Return to menu
After selecting a new setting, touch the access sensor to confirm your choice.
Now touch the sensor repeatedly until c appears in the display.
Touch the access sensor again. You have now left settings mode.
The door alarm is automatically disabled when the appliance is in settings mode. As soon as the door is closed, the door alarm is activated again.
Temperature display
The temperature display on the control panel always shows the selected temperature.
The temperature displays flash if
–a different temperature is being set,
–the temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.
This loss of coldness is no cause for concern in the following circumstances:
–when the door has been left open for a while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food,
–when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature in the freezer remains above -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.
25
Alarms
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the appliance cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open.
Switching the temperature alarm off early
If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature in the appliance gets too warm, the alarm sensor will flash in the control panel.
An audible alarm will also sound.
The temperature display will show the highest temperature that was reached during the time the temperature in the freezer rose.
The alarm will sound and the relevant symbol will flash, for example:
–if the freezer door has been left open for a while, e.g. in order to load, rearrange or take food out.
–when freezing large amounts of food at once.
–in the event of a power cut.
The alarm will stop and the "Alarm off" sensor in the display will go out again as soon as the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.
Touch the "Alarm off" sensor. The alarm will stop.
The "Alarm off" sensor will continue to be lit up until the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.
However, if the temperature in the freezer remains above -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.
