Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.
This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 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 coolant 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 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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

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.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or
liquids which could freeze in the freezer compartment. Otherwise they could burst. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
When chilling drinks in the freezer section, make sure that bottles
are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
Danger of injury. 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.
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 compartment. The very low temperature of the frozen goods can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Danger of injury!
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage
instructions given on food to avoid the 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.
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

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.

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 bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the refrigeration appliance will rise:
– The more often the appliance 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 refrigeration appliance. This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.
...in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4°C in the refrigerator section.

. . . in the freezer compartment

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 fully defrosted food must not be re­frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.
21
The correct temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the required temperature.

Setting the temperature

If the appliance door is opened very often, or if large quantities of food are being stored in the appliance, or if there is a high ambient temperature, it is advisable to set the temperature between 3°C and 5°C.
The temperature can be adjusted from 9°C to 1°C.
The higher or lower the temperature in the refrigerator section, the higher or lower it is in the freezer compartment.
Press the button for setting the
temperature repeatedly until the temperature you want lights up in the temperature display.
The first time you press the button the last temperature set will flash in the display.
The temperature value will change up until the setting for 9°C is reached. It will then drop back to the 1°C setting.
The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while and will appear in the display. The temperature in the appliance will now slowly start to adjust to this value.

Freezer compartment

The average temperature in the freezer compartment will be approx.-18°C.
22
If using a thermometer or other device to measure the temperature in the freezer compartment be aware that the air temperature measured can fluctuate.

Using Super cool
