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
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 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 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.
7
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
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.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance.
Steam could reach 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,
–separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Do not 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 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
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
9
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 damage 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.
10
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
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 appli-
ance
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.
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.

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.
Switching off
Press the On/Off button until the display goes out.
If this does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting further settings - To deactivate the safety lock).
The interior lighting will go out and the cooling process will be switched off.
Switching off for longer peri-
ods 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.
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.
Defrost the freezer compartment (depending on model).
Clean the refrigeration appliance and leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.
18
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.
19
The correct temperature
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the required temperat-
ure.
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.
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.
20
Using Super cool and DynaCool
Super cool function
The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).
Super cool is particularly recommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Switching on Super cool
Press the Super cool button.
The Super cool symbol will light up. The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.
Switching off Super cool
The Super cool function switches off automatically after approx. 12 hours. The Super cool symbol will go out and the appliance will then continue to work at normal power.
To save energy, the Super cool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Press the Super cool button until the symbol goes out.
The appliance will continue running at normal power.
