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 1m3 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
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.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains con-
nection 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 utility room).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.

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 un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 effi-
ciency 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.
Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-
tions 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.

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 or defrost this ap-
pliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

Warning and Safety instructions
Disposal of your old appliance
If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
– puncturing the coolant 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 penet-
rates the airways.
11
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing 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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data
from the appliance prior to disposal.
12
Take care not to damage your refrigeration appliance’s pipework before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
poses no risk to children while being
stored prior to disposal. For further information, see “Warning and Safety instructions” in these operating and installation instructions.

Switching on and off
Operating the appliance
A light touch of the finger on the
sensors is all that is required to operate
this appliance.
A tone will sound each time a sensor is
touched. You can deactivate this, if you
wish (see “Selecting further settings Audible tones”).
Switching on
When the appliance is connected to the
electrical supply, the mains connection
symbol will appear in the display
after a short while.

Switching off for longer periods of time
If, during a long absence, the refrigeration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door(s) left
shut, there is a risk of mould forming
inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the refrigeration appliance.
When the door is opened, the interior
lighting comes on and the LED lighting
on the adjustable shelves becomes
brighter until it reaches its maximum
brightness.
To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for a few
hours before placing food in it.
If the refrigeration appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of
time, observe the following:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
Switch off at the wall socket and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the fuse.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.
21
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 be-
ing 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
and in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3°C.
Automatic temperature distribution
(DynaCool)
The fan switches on automatically when
the cooling system for the refrigerator
switches on. It distributes the temperature in the appliance to all areas more
evenly so that all the food will be chilled
to about the same degree.
22
The correct temperature
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the average, currenttemperature in the refrigerator.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature in the display.
Setting the temperature
Use the two sensors underneath the
display to set the temperature.
By touching the sensor
– the temperature will get colder,
– Leaving a finger on the sensor
changes the temperature continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last
time a sensor has been touched, the
current temperature inside the appliance is automatically shown.
Or
Touch the OK sensor to confirm your
selection.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx.
24 hours if the appliance is full before
checking the temperature display, as it
will take this long for the appliance to
give an accurate reading.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
3°C to 9°C.
