Guide to the appliance

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often 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 or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained and will not leak out into the environment.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can present a risk of both personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Correct application

This appliance is not designed for

commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments such as:

–

Shops

–

Offices and showrooms

and by residents in establishments such as:

for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the appliance.

This appliance is not intended for

use by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before setting up the appliance,

check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer to protect the user from danger.

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 open flames and anything which creates a spark,

- disconnect from the mains,

- air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

- contact the Service Department for advice.

leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every8gofcoolant at least 1 m room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Safe operation of the appliance is

only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The more coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by the lack of or inadequacy of an effective earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

The appliance must be isolated from

the electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, play particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never handle frozen food with wet

hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. 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 thawed or partially

thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible as food soon loses it nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Do not store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard. Flammable compounds could explode.

Do not operate any electrical

equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.

If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

Do not store cans or bottles

containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer section. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

When cooling drinks quickly in the

freezer section, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst, causing injury or damage.

Observe the "use-by" dates 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. Follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer's packaging regarding storage conditions and "use-by" dates.

Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– separate frozen foods and remove

ice trays.

They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

Never place electric heaters or

candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use defrosting sprays or

de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

Do not use any oils or grease on the

door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

If storing food which contains a lot of

fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks.

Do not block the ventilation gap in

the plinth or the top of the appliance housing unit as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

This appliance is designed for use

within certain climate ranges (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, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

Never use a steam-cleaning

appliance to defrost or clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of an old

appliance, first make the door latches or locks unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

Be careful not to damage any part of

the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

– puncturing the refrigerant channels

in the evaporator.

– bending any pipework.

– scratching the surface coating.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Hot food will cause the refrigerator unit to run for a long time, as the appliance will have to work harder to reduce the temperature.

liquids will cause a loss of coldness in the refrigerator.

A layer of ice hinders the cold from reaching the frozen food, and increases energy consumption.

Switching on and off

Before using for the first time

Important: To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, let it stand for between 1½ and 2 hours after transporting it to its final location before connecting it to the mains.

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

^ Clean the inside of the appliance and

the accessories with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth.

Switching on

Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a

clockwise direction away from the "0" position.

Forcing it beyond its range will damage it. Turn it only as far as it will go, then turn it back again.

The temperature display for the refrigerator section will light up and the interior lighting will come on when door is opened.

The freezer section temperature indicator will light up continuously. The alarm indicator light will also light up. It will go out when the temperature in the freezer is cold enough.

The appliance starts cooling.

Allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it. This will ensure that the temperature is sufficiently low.

Cool pack

Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.

Switching off

Using a coin, turn the temperature selector in an anti-clockwise direction back to the "0" position.

Switching on and off

The cooling system and the interior lighting are now switched off.

Switching off for longer periods of time

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 out and

leave the doors ajar to air the

appliance.

If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the doors are left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.
