storage of food and drinks. Any other usage is not permitted.

 This appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool

medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such materials or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such purposes can cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance is not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do

not let them play with it.

 Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in

packing material (e.g. foil) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 has a lower greenhouse effect than some other refrigerants. The use of this coolant, however, leads 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,

– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,

– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several

minutes, and

– call Miele.

 The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger

the room should be in which it is installed. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is a danger of combustible gases building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on a data plate inside the appliance.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a

Miele approved service technician in order to avoid a hazard.

 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 or into the mains

connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or laundry).

 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

 Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check

the appliance for visible signs of damage.

 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 circuit breaker has been switched off, 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. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be

dangerous. 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.

 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

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, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods, with the result that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

 To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the

ventilation gaps in the appliance and built-in structure must not be covered or blocked in any way. This would also increase the energy consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

 If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or

the appliance door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic. Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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!

 Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream

maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and 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 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.

Stainless steel appliances

 The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives

and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not adhere sticky notes, transparent tape, masking tape or other adhesives onto the stainless steel surface.

 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause

scratches.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

 Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will

cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.

Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator,

causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to

– remove frost and ice, or accelerate the defrosting process,

– separate frozen foods and remove ice trays.

 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.

Transport

 To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and

in its packaging.

 Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very heavy and

must be transported by two people.

Warning and Safety instructions

Disposal of your old appliance

 If your old appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This way you will

prevent the risk of playing children accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

 Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. 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.

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal operation.

 The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it

penetrates the airways.

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.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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!

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact Miele. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance 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.

Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See “Warning and Safety instructions” for more information.
