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 1m3 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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.
9
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.
10
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.
11
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.
12
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.

20
The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Bacteria 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 is stored in it.
– The warmer the food is which is
being put into it.
– The higher the ambient temperature.
The refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific
ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use it in ambient
temperatures for which it is not
designed.
... in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the current mean
refrigerator temperature.
Depending on the room temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
several hours until the selected
temperature is reached and displayed
steadily.
21
The correct temperature
Setting the temperature
The two sensors next to the display are
used for setting the temperature.
Touch this sensor to lower the
temperature.
Touch this sensor to increase the
temperature.
While the temperature is being set, the
temperature value will flash.
The following information appears in the
display when the sensors are touched:
– When first tapped: The last preset
temperature flashes.
Useful tip: If you have adjusted the
temperature, wait for approx. 6hours
if the appliance is not very full and for
approx. 24hours if the appliance is
full before checking the temperature
display. It will take this long for an
accurate reading to be given. If, after
this time, the temperature is still too
high or too low, adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
2°C to 9°C.
– Each subsequent touch of the
sensor: The temperature is adjusted
in 1°C steps.
– Leaving the finger on the sensor
changes the temperature
continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last
time a sensor has been touched, the
display automatically reverts to showing
the current temperature inside the
appliance.
22
Using SuperCool and DynaCool
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator section to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
SuperCool is particularly recommended
for the rapid chilling of large amounts of
fresh food or drinks.
Switching on SuperCool
Touch the SuperCool sensor.
The SuperCool symbol will light up in
the display.
The appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the refrigerator
section.

The SuperCool function switches off
automatically after 6-12 hours. The
SuperCool symbol will go out and the
appliance will run at normal power
again.
To save energy, you can manually
switch off SuperCool once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Touch the SuperCool sensor.
The SuperCool symbol in the display
will go out.
The appliance will operate at normal
power again.
23
Using SuperCool and DynaCool
DynaCool
When the dynamic cooling function
(DynaCool) is not switched on, the
natural circulation of air will cause
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator as the cold, heavy air sinks
to the lowest section. Make use of the
different temperature zones when
placing food in the refrigerator (see
“Using the refrigerator efficiently”).
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator (e.g.
for a party), it is a good idea to switch
on DynaCool. This will distribute the
temperature in the appliance to all areas
more evenly so that all the food is
chilled to about the same degree.
The temperature can be set as usual
with the temperature control.
DynaCool should also be switched on
when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high, i.e. above 30°C, and
Switching on DynaCool
Touch the DynaCool sensor.
The symbol will appear in the
display.
The fan will run continuously.
Switching off DynaCool
As the energy consumption is increased
when DynaCool is activated, it should
be switched off under normal
conditions.
Touch the DynaCool sensor.
The symbol in the display will go out
and the fan switches off.
– when humidity levels are high (e.g. in
summer).
24
To save energy, the fan switches off
automatically whilst the appliance
door is open.
An alarm will sound if the appliance
door has been left open for longer than
60seconds.
As soon as the door is closed, the
alarm will stop.

27
Using the refrigerator efficiently
Different storage zones
Due to the natural air circulation 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.
Useful tip: To allow air to circulate
efficiently, do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
Useful tip: Do not store food in such a
way that it touches the rear wall of the
refrigerator. as it may freeze to the back
wall.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator
section is directly above the fruit and
vegetable drawer and at the back of the
appliance.
Use these areas to store all delicate and
highly perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry
– 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
– pre-packed vegetables
– other fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C.
Warmest area
The warmest area is located in the top
section of the main storage area and
the door. Use this for storing butter so
that it remains spreadable and for
cheese so that it retains its flavour.
28
Using the refrigerator efficiently
Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C because it
is sensitive to cold. Depending on the
type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavour and/or vitamin
content may be altered if stored at too
cold a temperature.
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,
capsicums, tomatoes, zucchini
– Hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan,
mountain cheese
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays
fresh. Freshness is essential for a long
shelf life.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
Useful tip: Take a cooling bag when
shopping, and load food in the
appliance as soon as possible.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the
refrigerator section is in packaging or
covered properly. This will prevent
food smells from affecting other foods,
food from drying out, and also crosscontamination of bacteria. This is
especially important when storing meat
products.
By ensuring that the temperature
settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures, you can
prolong the storage life of your food
considerably.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.
Protein rich food
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish,
for example, deteriorates faster than
fish, and fish deteriorates faster than
meat.
29
Adjusting the interior fittings
Moving the adjustable 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 on the protective strip
at the back must face upward to
prevent food from touching the back
wall of the appliance and freezing to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from
being dislodged by mistake.
Adjusting the door shelf/bottle shelf
Only move door/bottle shelves when
they are empty.
Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,
then remove it by pulling it forwards.
Replace the shelf at the required
height. Ensure that it is securely
pushed back into position.
Adjusting or removing the bottle holder
The bottle holder can be moved to the
left or right to create more room for
drink cartons.
30
The bottle holder can be removed, for
example for cleaning:
Detach the bottle holder from the
back edge of the bottle shelf.
The bottle holder can be replaced after
cleaning.
Adjusting the interior fittings
Adjusting the bottle rack
The bottle rack can be placed on
different levels in the appliance.

Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation!
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will
result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature of the compressor. This,
in turn, can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in
any way.
