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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utility
room). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical con­nection and cause a short circuit.
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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or li-
quids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could ex­plode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are
not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, caus­ing injury or damage.
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. Danger of frost burn.
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. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-
ted 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 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.

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.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions

Transporting the appliance

Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very heavy and
must be transported by two people.

Disposal of your old appliance

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.
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.

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.
12
Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See "Warning and Safety instructions" for more information.

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

Packaging material

Remove all packaging material from
the inside of the appliance.

Protective foil

The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent dam­age during transportation.
Carefully remove the protective foil
from the stainless steel trim.

Cleaning

Please refer to the relevant instruc­tions in "Cleaning and care".
Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories.

Accessories

- Bottle holder

The flexible ribs grip the bottles se­curely when the door is opened and closed.
Attach the bottle holder centrally
along the rear edge of the bottle shelf, as shown.
18
Switching on and off

Switching on

Press the On/Off button.
The appliance will start to cool and the temperature required will appear in the temperature display. The interior lighting will come on when the door is opened.
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 dis-
play goes out. If this does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting further settings - To deactivate the safety lock).
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.
The interior lighting will go out and the cooling process will be switched off.
19

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

We recommend a temperature of 5°C in the refrigerator section.

. . . in the freezer section

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 re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.
20
The correct temperature

Temperature display

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required tem­perature.
For example, if you want to set the tem­perature for the refrigerator section at 5°C,
press the button for setting the tem-
perature repeatedly until 5 lights up in the temperature display.
The average temperature in the freezer section will then be approx. -18°C.
However, if frozen food is to be stored in the freezer section, then a setting of 5°C is recommended to ensure that the required temperature in the freezer sec­tion is maintained.
It is also advisable to set the temperat­ure within this range if the doors are opened frequently, large quantities of food are being stored in the appliance or there is a high ambient temperature.

Setting the temperature

The higher or lower the temperature in the refrigerator section, the higher or lower it is in the freezer section.
Press the button for setting the tem-
perature 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 temperature display. The temperature in the appliance will now slowly start to adjust to this value.
21

Using Super freeze

Super freeze function

Switch on Super freeze before putting fresh food into the freezer.
This helps food to freeze quickly and re­tain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.
Super freeze is not necessary:
– when placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen.
– when freezing up to 1kg fresh food
daily.

Switching on Super freeze

When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the Super freeze function should be switched on 6 hours before-
hand. When freezing the maximum load of food, the Super freeze function should be switched on 24 hours be­forehand.

Switching off Super freeze

The Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 65 hours. The Super freeze symbol will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again.
To save energy, you can switch the Su­per freeze function off yourself before this time.
Press the Super freeze button until
the symbol goes out.
The appliance will continue running at normal power.
Press the Super freeze button briefly. The Super freeze symbol will light up.
The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.
