Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU directives.

This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flammable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

The use of this refrigerant 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 refrigerant flowing around the cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.

When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.

In the event of damage:

-Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.

-Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity supply.

-Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.

-Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

The more coolant there is in a refrigeration 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 a combustible gas/ air mixture building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The socket must not be concealed behind the refrigeration appliance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency.

When installing the refrigeration appliance, please note the following:

-The socket must be easily accessible in an emergency, not concealed behind the appliance.

-The plug and power cable must not touch the rear of the refrigeration appliance as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.

-Do not plug in other appliances behind the refrigeration appliance.

If installation near a heat source is unavoidable, observe the following minimum distances between the appliance and the heat source:

-At least 3 cm

to electric or gas stoves

-At least 30 cm

to oil or coal-based stoves

If it is not possible to observe these minimum distances, an isolation plate must be installed between the refrigeration appliance and the heat source.

Climate range

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.

Climate range	Ambient room
	temperature

SN	+10 to +32 °C

N	+16 to +32 °C

ST	+16 to +38 °C

T	+16 to +43 °C

Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the compressor to switch off for too long, causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

Installation

Risk of damage due to high humidity.

In environments with high humidity, condensation can build up on external refrigeration appliance panels, which can cause corrosion.

Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation.
