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 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 does not increase 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 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 coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:
– avoid naked 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
– contact the Miele Service Department.
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 8 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

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 guarantee, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee 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.

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.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapours 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 guarantee, 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.

Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from 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. In normal operation there is no risk.
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 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic equipment of­ten contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be po­tentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com­munity waste collection / recycling centre.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during trans­portation to an authorised collection de­pot. In 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 presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See "Warning and Safety instructions" for more information.

19
Switching on and off
Switching off for longer peri­ods of time
If, during a long absence, the ap-
pliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a danger of mould building up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:
switch the appliance off,disconnect it from the mains,Clean the appliance andleave the door(s) ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odours building up in­side the appliance.
20

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the ap­pliance. Micro-organisms 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 that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The 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 zone

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C in the refrigerator section.
In the PerfectFresh zone the temperat­ure is controlled automatically and is in the range 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.
21
The correct temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the average, current temperature 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.
– the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in the display.
The following information shows in the display while the sensors are being touched:
– Touching a sensor once: the last
temperature selected flashes.
– Each subsequent touch of the
sensor: adjusts the temperature shown in 1°C steps.
22

Adjusting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone

In the PerfectFresh zone the temperat­ure is maintained between 0 and 3 °C. However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly.
5 is the default setting for the PerfectFresh zone. If a setting of between1 and4 is selected the tem­perature can fall below 0°C. Food could freeze.
Touch the settings sensor.
All symbols available for selection will appear in the display and the symbol flashes.
Touch the sensors for setting the
temperature ( or ) repeatedly until the symbol flashes.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different tem­perature zones in the refrigerator sec­tion. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest area of the refrigerator section. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.
This appliance has automatic Dynamic cooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running, making the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigerator section is at the top in the front area and in the door. Use this for storing but­ter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator sec­tion is directly above the PerfectFresh zone dividing plate and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone compartments is even colder.
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products con­taining propellants (e.g. spray cans). Danger of explosion.
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.
Food must not touch the back of the refrigerator as it may freeze to the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator.
Use these areas in the refrigerator and in the PerfectFresh zone for 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,
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this is essential for keeping the appliance cool.
31
Storing food in the refrigerator section
Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator sec­tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5°C as some food is sensitive to cold. The appear­ance, consistency, taste and / or the vit­amin content of certain types of food can be adversely affected by being stored in too cold a place.
Food which does not tolerate cold tem­peratures includes:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits (such as lemons, oranges, mandar­ins, grapefruit),
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Aubergines/eggplant, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers/capsicum, toma­toes, courgettes/zucchini,
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.

When shopping for food

The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is the most important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the appliance. Always observe the use-by date and the recommended storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator should be kept to a minimum, for example, when transporting food in a hot car.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when shopping and on return place food into the appliance immediately.

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored covered or packaged in the refrigerator section (there are some exceptions to this rule in the PerfectFresh zone - see below). This will prevent food smells from affecting other foods, food from drying out, and also any cross-contam­ination of bacteria. This is especially im­portant for storing protein-based food such as meat or fish. The growth of bacteria, such as sal­monella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene.
32

Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone

The PerfectFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is maintained automatically at between 0 - 3 °C. While lower than the temperature in a standard refrigerator, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sens­itive to cold. The deterioration process is decelerated in this temperature range so food can be stored without loss of freshness for considerably longer than in a standard refrigerator.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh zone can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. Food retains its own moisture if stored at a higher humidity and so does not dry out as quickly. This allows it to stay crisp and fresh for longer.
The PerfectFresh zone is di­vided into two areas:
– The temperature is between 0-3 °C in
the top dry compartment and the humidity level is not increased. Use this compartment to store fish, meat, dairy products and any other type of food, providing it is wrapped.
– The temperature is between 0-3°C in
the bottom humidity controlled compartment (depending on model, there may be one or more of this type of compartment). Depending on the position of the regulator, the humidity level is not increased or in­creased. Fruit and vegetables can be stored in this compartment with the humidity increased.
Remember that the fresher the food when placed in the appliance, the longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh zone approx. 30-60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully de­velop until the food has reached room temperature.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone

Dry compartment

The dry compartment is ideal for storing foods which perish easily, such as
– fish and seafood;
– meat, poultry and sausages;
– salads and lettuce;
– dairy products, e.g. yogurt, cheese,
cream, quark etc;
– you can also use the dry compart-
ment to store all kinds of food, providing it is wrapped.
The main advantage of the dry com­partment is the low temperature (rather than the humidity). The humidity in the dry compartment is approximately the same as in a standard refrigerator.
Please note that food rich in protein de­teriorates faster than other types of food. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.
Always keep these foods covered or
wrapped.
Humidity controlled compart­ment ,
The humidity controlled compartment has a regulator which is used to adjust the relative humidity.
Slide the regulator to the or  relative humidity setting.
Humidity level not increased
At the setting the humidity controlled compartment becomes a dry compart­ment - the regulator opens the vents in the compartment so the humidity es­capes (see "Dry compartment").
Increased humidity
With the regulator at the setting the humidity controlled compartment is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. The regulator closes the vents in the compartment so that moisture is re­tained.
The humidity greatly depends on the type and quantity of food being stored, if stored unwrapped. The humidity can be too low if there is only a small amount stored in the com­partment.
34
Tip: If you are only storing a small amount of food, wrap it in airtight pack­aging.
High humidity in the humidity con­trolled compartment can cause con­densate to build up on the floor of the compartment as well as beneath the lid.
Use a cloth to remove the condens­ate.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone
The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):
Only use the appliance for storing
fresh food. The condition of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh.
Clean the PerfectFresh compartments
before storing food in them.
Allow very moist food to drain before
placing it in the PerfectFresh zone
Do not store food which is sensitive
to cold in the PerfectFresh zone (see "Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator").
Select the correct PerfectFresh com-
partment as well as the correct posi­tion for the humidity controlled com­partment regulator (humidity not in­creased or humidity increased).
Increased humidity in the humidity
controlled compartment is achieved via the moisture present in the food being stored, i.e. the more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity. If too much moisture has gathered on the floor of the compartment and the food has been affected, select the setting. Otherwise dry the floor and under­neath the lid with a cloth and place a rack or similar item in the compart­ment so that moisture can then drip down. If the humidity level becomes too low, wrap the food in airtight packaging.
If you think that the temperature in
the PerfectFresh zone is too high or too low, try regulating it by altering the temperature of the refrigerator section slightly by 1 to 2 °C. The tem­perature must be increased if ice crystals start to form on the floor of the PerfectFresh zone as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

Adjustable shelves / Ad­justable shelves with lighting
The LED lighting is located in the stain­less steel trim of the adjustable shelves. You can illuminate the refrigerator sec­tion as you wish by moving the shelves.
If the lighting is not working, check that the shelves are positioned in the side supports correctly: The shelves have metal discs (con­tacts) in the left-hand front corner which supply power to the LED light­ing. Make sure when inserting the shelves that the contacts click into the shelf supports correctly.
Moving the adjustable shelves / ad­justable shelves with lighting
The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food.
Pull the bottle holder upwards to re-
move it from the rear edge of the bottle shelf.
36
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 at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from be­ing dislodged by mistake.
Adjusting the interior fittings

Adjusting the bottle rack

The bottle rack can be placed at differ­ent positions in the appliance.
Raise the bottle rack slightly at the
front, and pull it forwards a little 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 rear rail must face upwards to pre­vent bottles from touching the back of the appliance.

Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh zone

The refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and PerfectFresh zone whilst the com­pressor is running. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evap­orate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor.
The condensate is drained away through a channel and drain hole, then fed into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Condensate must be able to
drain away unhindered at all times. Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this.

Cleaning and care

Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the lighting or the metal discs (contacts) in the left-hand shelf supports.
Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.
Do not use a steam cleaning appli­ance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
The data plate located inside the ap­pliance must not be removed. It con­tains information which is required in the event of a service call.

Cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:
– melamine eraser blocks,
– sharp metal scrapers.
We recommend treating stainless steel surfaces with Miele stainless steel conditioning agent (see "Guide to the appliance - Optional accessories"). Unlike stainless steel cleaning agents, the conditioning agent does not con­tain any abrasive substances and will gently remove soiling. Each time it is used, it forms a water and dirt repel­lent protective coating.
Cleaning and conditioning agents used inside the appliance must be food safe.
We recommend using lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid to clean surfaces of the appliance.
The following pages contain import­ant information on cleaning.
– cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers,

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a power cable and moulded plug ready for con­nection to an AC 230 V 50 Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A (13 A in the UK).
This appliance must be connected to a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible. The electrical connection must comply with current local and na­tional safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
The accessibility of the plug must al­ways be ensured in order to be able to quickly separate the appliance from the mains.
If the mains socket is not accessible after the appliance has been built in, a separator for each terminal must be present. There must be an all-pole con­tact gap of at least 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays ac­cording to EN60335).
The plug and mains connection cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This, in turn, could result in a short cir­cuit.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to an in­verter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch-off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The appliance must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of en­ergy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.
If the mains cable needs to be replaced this must be done by a suitably quali­fied person.
Do not plug in other appliances behind this appliance.
59

Installation

This appliance must be built in, oth­erwise it could tip up.

Location

This appliance should not be installed where it is exposed to direct sunlight or directly adjacent to a heat-producing appliance such as an oven or a radiator. The higher the ambient temperature of the room, the more energy the appli­ance requires to operate. The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventil­ated room.
When installing the appliance, please note:
– The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be­hind the appliance.
– The plug and cable must not touch
the rear of the appliance as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.
– Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind this appliance.
In environments with high hu-
midity condensation can build up on
the external appliance panels. This can lead to corrosion of the
panels. For prevention, it is advisable to in-
stall the appliance with sufficient ventilation in a dry and/or air condi­tioned room.
Make sure that the appliance door closes properly, the ventilation gaps are not covered and the appliance is installed in accordance with these in­stallation instructions.

Climate range

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient tem­peratures) and should not be used out­side this range. The climate range of the appliance is stated on the data plate in­side the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the compressor to switch off for too long, causing the internal tem­perature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

Ventilation

If the ventilation gaps given are
not observed, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the compressor.
It is essential to observe the ventila­tion gaps given.
Air at the back of the appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow suffi­cient space for ventilation (see "Build­ing-in dimensions"):
60
– Air intake occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the air escapes at the top at the rear of the housing unit.
– A ventilation gap of at least 40mm
depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate.
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, housing unit and above the appliance must amount to a free air­flow of at least 200cm² to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance.
Installation

Top ventilation gap

The ventilation gap at the top of the ap­pliance can be constructed in different ways:
a
directly above the appliance with a ventilation grille (free airflow of at least 200cm²).
b
in between the housing unit and the ceiling
c
through a suspended ceiling.
If ventilation grilles are to be inserted into the ventilation gaps, the ventila­tion gaps must be larger than 200cm². The free airflow of 200cm² results from the total of the ventila­tion cross-sections in the grille.
– Important. The appliance uses less
energy, the larger the ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must not be covered or blocked in any way. They should be dusted on a regular basis.

cludes installation parts and other ac­cessories out of the appliance and re­move the packaging strap holding the door in place.
Do not remove the following from
the back of the appliance:
Open the appliance door and remove
the red safety catch (depending on model).
– The spacers (depending on model).
These ensure the gap required between the back of the appliance and the wall is maintained.
– Depending on model, the pouches
located in the metal grille (heat ex­changer). They are required for the correct functioning of the appliance. The contents are not poisonous or dan­gerous.
Remove the cable clip from the back
of the appliance.
Check that all parts at the back of the
appliance are unhindered. Carefully remove any hindrance.
Does your old appliance have a dif­ferent hinging mechanism?
If your old appliance had a different type of hinging, the furniture door can still be used. Remove the old hinges from the housing unit. They are no longer required because the furniture door is now fitted to the appliance door. All the necessary parts are supplied or can be ordered from Miele.

Stainless steel front

(depending on model)
If your old appliance had different hinging and you cannot, or do not wish to use your old door, you can use a stainless steel front instead.
Contact Miele for information on suit­able stainless steel fronts.

drilled holes in the appliance door us­ing hexagonal screw .
Screw a second pair of fixing brack-
ets securely into the handle area of the door. Use the pre-drilled holes in the appliance door.
Fit cover strip into position.
Push the appliance two-thirds of the
way into its niche. When doing this, make sure that the mains cable does not get trapped.
Tip: To help you push it into position, tie a piece of string around the plug to "in­crease" the length of the connection cable. Then pull the cable by the end of the string through the housing unit. It will then be easier to connect once the ap­pliance is in the unit.
71
Installing the appliance

With 16 mm thick unit walls:

Clip spacers and on the right-
hand side of the hinges.
Open the appliance door.
Remove cover .

The front edges of the top and bot­tom hinges should be flush with the front edge of the housing side wall.
73
Installing the appliance
Check the position of the fixing
bracket at the top and bottom front edge of the furniture side wall again.
This will create a gap all round of 42 mm to the front edges of the housing unit side walls.
On furniture with door fittings (e.g. stubs, seals etc.) the dimension of
these must be taken into account when making sure there is a gap all round of 42 mm.
Pull the appliance forwards by the
appropriate dimension.
The hinges and covers will now pro­trude by the dimension of the door fit­ting.
Tip: Remove the door fittings. This will ensure that the door is flush with the surrounding kitchen unit furniture doors.
  Align the appliance on both sides
by altering the adjustable feet using the spanner supplied.
If the all round gap of 42 mm is not maintained between the appliance housing and the front edge of the housing unit side wall, the door may not shut properly.
This can cause ice to build up, con­densate to accumulate and lead to faults in the appliance. These can all lead to increased energy consump­tion.
