Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap­propriate EU directives.
This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flam­mable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 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 refri­gerant 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 a combustible gas/ air mixture building up. For every 11g of coolant at least 1m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

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.
12

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.
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.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Installation site

Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the refrigeration appli­ance tipping over.
This refrigeration appliance is very heavy and can tip forwards when the appliance door is open.
Keep the appliance door(s) shut until the refrigeration appliance has been built in. The refrigeration appliance must be secured in its building-in niche in accordance with the operat­ing and installation instructions.
Due to its weight and size, the refri­geration appliance must be installed by two people.
Fire risk and risk of damage from
appliances which give off heat. Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the refrigera­tion appliance.
This refrigeration appliance must not be installed underneath a hob.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames. Open flames can set fire to the refri-
geration appliance. Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the refrigeration appli­ance.
This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding on the installation site, please bear in mind that your refrigera­tion appliance will use more energy if installed near to a heater, a cooker or other appliance that gives off heat. Avoid direct sunlight. The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor runs and the higher the energy consumption is.
Risk of damage due to corrosion.
In environments with high humidity, condensation can build up on ex­ternal refrigeration appliance panels. This condensate can cause corrosion on external appliance panels.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation.
After installation please make sure that the appliance door(s) closes (close) properly and the refrigeration appliance is installed in accordance with these installation instructions. It is essential to comply with the spe­cified ventilation cutout require­ments.

*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Side-by-side combinations

Risk of damage due to condens-
ation on external appliance panels. In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex­ternal appliance panels, which can cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration appliance models directly next to or on top of one other.
If you want to place refrigeration ap­pliances without integrated heating units next to each other, a distance of 150mm must be maintained between them.

Climate range

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. A lower room temperature leads to the compressor switching off for longer periods. This can cause the internal temperature in the refrigeration appli­ance to rise with the risk of food deteri­orating and going off.
The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refri­geration 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
A refrigeration appliance from the SN climate range can operate without any difficulties in rooms with a cooler am­bient temperature (down to +5°C).

*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Ventilation

Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation. If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, 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.
Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the refrigeration appliance.
It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps must not be covered or blocked in any way.
Air at the back of the refrigeration appli­ance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see “Installation dimensions” and the installation instructions provided).

Furniture door panel

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen fur­niture the thickness and edge radius of the furniture door panel and the gap that runs around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the following:
–Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door panel and the housing unit door above or below it must be at least 3mm.
–Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration appliance furniture door panel and the adjoining housing unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing unit door or wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the thickness and edge radius of the appliance fur­niture door.
16
This must be taken into consideration when planning your kitchen and when replacing an old refrigeration appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.

*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for con­nection to an AC single-phase 220– 240V50Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10A.
This appliance must be connected to a suitable switched socket. The electrical installation must be in compliance with current local and national safety regula­tions, (e.g. VDE0100 in Germany / BS 7671 in the UK). We recommend the use of a suitable RCD .
The socket must not be concealed be­hind the appliance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole con­tact gap of at least 3mm. These in­clude miniature circuit breakers, fuses and contactors (EN60335).
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 a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When the appliance is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This could damage the elec­tronic module. 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 performed by a qualified electrician.
The mains 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 could result in a short circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind this 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 the appliance off at the wall
socket and pull the plug out of 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.
25

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct temperature to ensure the shelf life of food. Reducing the temperature re­duces the growth rate of microorgan­isms. Food does not spoil as quickly.
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.

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the required temperat­ure.

Setting the temperature

Use the and sensor controls on
the control panel to set the temperat­ure.
- Every touch of the sensor control ad­justs the temperature shown in 1°C increments.
- Keeping a finger on the sensor con­trol changes the temperature continu­ously.

Possible temperature settings:

- Fridge zone: 2to9°C
If you change the temperature set­ting:
check the temperature display after a
few hours. It will take this long for the appliance to give an accurate read­ing.
26
- Wait for approx.6hours if the refri­geration appliance is not very full
- Wait for approx.24hours if the refri­geration appliance is full
If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low:
Adjust the temperature again.
SuperCool
When switched on, the SuperCool function can be used to rapidly re­duce the temperature in the fridge zone to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). The refri­geration appliance will work at full power and lower the temperature. Se­lect this function for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
When the SuperCool function is switched on, the appliance may make more noise than usual.
SuperCool should be switched on 4hours before placing food or drinks in the fridge zone.
The SuperCool function will switch itself off automatically after ap­prox.15hours. The refrigeration appli­ance will then run at normal power again.

Using Super cool

Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperCool function off yourself once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Switching SuperCool on and off
Touch the SuperCool sensor con-
trol to switch the function on and off again.
The sensor control is highlighted in yellow when the SuperCool function is switched on.
27

Door alarm

The refrigeration appliance is fitted with a warning system to avoid in­creased energy consumption and food becoming warm if the appliance door is left open.
An alarm tone will sound if the appli­ance door has been left open for longer than 2minutes.
As soon as the appliance door is closed, the alarm tone will stop.
Switching the door alarm off early
If the alarm disturbs you, it can be turned off early.
Touch the sensor control on the
control panel.
The alarm will stop.
28

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Risk of explosion due to flam-
mable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). The spray cans in ques­tion can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a flame symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods. If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration 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.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts of the refrigera­tion appliance.

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature regions in the re­frigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec­tion of the refrigeration section. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.

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 fridge zone is directly above the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of the appli­ance.
Use this for all delicate and highly per­ishable food such as:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
If there is insufficient air circulation, the cooling performance will de­crease and energy consumption will increase.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the appliance.
- Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk products
- Pre-packed vegetables
- Other fresh food (with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4°C)

Storing food in the refrigerator section
Tip: Store food in such a way that it
does not touch the rear wall of the fridge zone. Otherwise it could freeze to the rear wall.
Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator sec­tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5°C, because it may be sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance, con­sistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold in­cludes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is covered or wrapped properly. This will prevent food odours from af­fecting other foods, stop food from dry­ing out and also prevent any cross-con­tamination of bacteria. This is particu­larly important when storing meat products. Make sure that food such as raw meat and fish in particular does not come into contact with other food. By ensuring that the temperature set­tings are correct and by taking appro­priate hygiene measures you can pro­long the storage life of your food con­siderably and avoid food waste.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.

Protein-rich food

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.
- Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan, moun­tain cheese)

Notes on buying food

The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most im­portant factor for how long it stays fresh. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. trans­porting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.
30
The fridge zone defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the fridge zone whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this.
The condensate drains through a chan­nel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. The warmth generated by the compressor causes the condensate to evaporate automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this. Con­densate must be able to drain away unhindered at all times.

Cleaning and care

The data plate located inside the in­terior cabinet of the refrigeration appli­ance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a fault.
Do not let water get into the elec­tronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical com­ponents.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.

Cleaning agents

Cleaning and conditioning agents used in the interior cabinet of the re­frigeration appliance must be food safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use the following:
- Cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Descaling agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. scour­ing powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones)
- Cleaning agents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaners
- Oven sprays
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes (e.g. pot scourers)
32
- Eraser stain remover blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge and lukewarm water with a little wash­ing-up liquid to clean the surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning and care
Preparing the refrigeration ap­pliance for cleaning
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.Take any food out of the refrigeration
appliance and store it in a cool place.
Take out any removable parts for
cleaning.
Cleaning the inside of the ap­pliance
The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (at least once a month).
If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove. Surfaces may suffer discol­ouration or damage.
Therefore, it is best to remove soiling immediately.
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Wash all parts by hand. Do not wash
in a dishwasher.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently using a cotton swab or similar item to ensure that condensate can drain away freely.
Leave the door open to air the refri-
geration appliance sufficiently for a short while and to prevent odour build-up.
33
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door seal

Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning. If you treat the door seal with oils or
grease, it can become porous. Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the ventilation gaps

A build-up of dust will increase the en­ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (you could use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting brush, for example).

After cleaning

Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigeration appliance.
Switch the refrigeration appliance
back on.
Switch on the SuperCool function
for a while so that the temperature in­side the refrigeration appliance will drop quickly.
Place food in the refrigeration appli-
ance as soon as it reaches the re­quired coldness.
Close the appliance door(s).

Problem solving guide

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault, and to correct it.
To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Problem Cause and remedy
The appliance does not get cold and the tem­perature display is not lit up.
The appliance has not been switched on. Switch the appliance on.
The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly. Insert the plug into the socket correctly and switch
on.

Problem solving guide
Problem Cause and remedy
The temperature display lights up but the refri­geration appliance is not cooling.
Demo mode has been activated. This allows the refri­geration appliance to be presented in the dealer showroom without the cooling system being switched on. This setting is not needed for domestic use. Switch off demo mode by running the appliance self­test:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off and back on
again after 5minutes.
Within the following 10seconds, touch the Super-
Cool sensor control for 3–5seconds until an acoustic signal sounds.
The self-test starts and a long acoustic signal sounds after a short time.
- If 2 acoustic signals sound at the end of the self­test and the temperature display shows the set temperature, your refrigeration appliance is ready for operation.
- The refrigeration appliance reverts to normal opera­tion.
The compressor is switching on more fre­quently and for longer periods of time. The temperature in the refri­geration appliance is too low.
