IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance complies with all statutory safety requirements. Please note that inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner.
Appropriate use
This appliance is intended for use in the home and similar environments.
This appliance is not intended for use outdoors, in damp environments or in places exposed to rain.
The oven is intended for domestic use only: cooking, baking, roasting, broiling, defrosting and heating of food.
Only use this appliance for its intended purpose.
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.
Persons (including children) which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experience with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety with children
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or near the appliance.
Ensure that any packing material is disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. DANGER of suffocation!
Technical safety
The refrigerant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies with statutory safety requirements.
This appliance contains the refrigerant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is combustible, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase 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 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 cause severe irritation to the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
–disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply,
–ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and
–contact Miele Technical Service.
6
IMPORTANT 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 11 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.
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 the appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly grounded. 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 electricity supply.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in order to protect the user from harm.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the machine in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g., garages, laundry rooms).
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.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.
During installation, side-by-side heater installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the electrical power supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–the circuit breaker has been tripped, or
–the screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been removed or
–the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on the cord when removing it from the outlet.
Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be performed by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Any manufacturer's warranty will be void if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Defective components should only be replaced by Miele original parts. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
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 so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
WARNING! DANGER of overheating! Do not cover or block the air vents. This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the power consumption and cause damage to the appliance.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapors to ignite.
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.
When eating stored food, there is a danger 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. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instructions.
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals. They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
The steam can 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 or ice,
–separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Children could become trapped in the machine and could suffocate.
–Remove the machine doors.
–Remove the drawers.
–Leave the adjustable shelves in the machine so children cannot climb inside.
DANGER of electric shock!
–Cut the plug off the power cord.
–Cut the power cord off the old appliance.
Dispose of them separately from the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance is not stored in the vicinity of gasoline or inflammable gases and liquids during and after disposal.
Make sure that the coolant pipework is not damaged during disposal to avoid uncontrolled leakage of oil and coolant (see data plate for coolant type).
Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latches or locks unusable.
This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Splashes of coolant can cause damage to the eyes. Be careful not
to damage any part of the pipework while awaiting disposal, e.g. by
–puncturing the coolant channels in the evaporator,
–kinking any pipework,
–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 pene-
trates the airways.
11
Caring for the environment
Disposal of packaging material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Return the packaging to your dealer.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of your appliance before or during transportation to an authorized, environmentally friendly collection depot.
This way, coolant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children while being stored prior to disposal. See “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” for more information.
