The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally 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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposing 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 and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
The plug must be rendered useless
and the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse. 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.

Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance
~
complies with all current local and national safety requirements.
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
refrigerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–
avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,
10
Warning and Safety instructions
switch off at the mains and unplug the appliance,
–
ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
–
minutes, and
call Miele.
–
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 every8gofcoolant at least 1 m
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection
~
data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and rated load) 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.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
~
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with 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.
3
of room space is required. The
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

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. Danger of injury!
14
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. Defrosted food should
~
be used up as quickly as possible as food soon loses its nutritional
value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has
been cooked.
Food stored for too long may present a 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.
To avoid the risk of any potential illness, do not deactivate the
~
reminder to change the water filter.
Use only Miele Original spare parts. If spare parts or accessories
~
from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated,
and Miele cannot accept liability.

shut, there is a danger of mould and
odours building up inside the
appliance.
The door alarm is automatically
disabled when the appliance is in
settings mode. As soon as the door
is closed, the door alarm is
activated again.
22
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 in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
DynamicCooling
The DynamicCooling fan automatically
switches on 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.
...inthefreezer
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 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.
...intherefrigerator and the
MasterFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator.
The temperature in the MasterFresh
zone is controlled automatically and is
maintained at 1.5 °C.
23
The correct temperature
Setting the temperature in the
refrigerator/freezer zones
The temperatures in the refrigerator and
freezer zones are set independently of
one another.
Touch the access sensor so that it is
^
highlighted in yellow.
^ Touch the sensor for the refrigerator
or freezer zone so that it is
highlighted in yellow.
^ The temperature inside the appliance
can be selected by touching the
arrow sensors on either side of the
temperature display.
By touching the
X sensor: the temperature will get
colder
Y sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
The temperature range being set will
flash in the display as you do this.
If the highest or lowest temperature that
it is possible to set is reached, the X or
Y sensor will disappear from the
display.
The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
selected temperature.
When 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,
as it will take this long for the appliance
to reach the temperature. 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:
– In the refrigerator section from 2 °C
to8°C
–
In the freezer section from -14 °C to
-24 °C.
The ambient temperature in the
room and the installation location
can affect the time it takes for the
appliance to reach the lowest
temperature. If the ambient
temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
–
Touching the sensor once:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–
Keeping your finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.

The correct temperature
Temperature display
The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
selected temperature.
The temperature displays flash if
a different temperature is being set,
–
the temperature in the appliance has
–
risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.
This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:
– when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
– when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above -18°C
for a long time, check that the frozen
food has not started to defrost. If it
has, check that the food is safe to
use and if it is, then use it as soon
as possible.
26
Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the appliance cannot
rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if a door is left open.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature in one of the zones
gets too warm, the sensor for the zone
concerned will flash in the control
panel.
The Alarm off sensor will flash at the
same time.
An audible alarm will also sound.
If the temperature rises in the freezer,
the temperature display will show the
highest temperature that was reached
during the time the temperature in the
freezer rose.
The alarm will sound and the relevant
symbol will flash, for example,
–
if the freezer door has been left open
for a while, e.g. in order to load,
re-arrange or take food out.
The alarm will stop and the Alarm off
sensor in the display will go out again
as soon as the temperature has
dropped down to the correct level
again. The sensor for the zone
concerned will constantly light up.
Switching the temperature
alarm off early
If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off early if you wish.
^ Touch the Alarm off sensor.
The alarm will stop.
The Alarm off sensor will continue to
be lit up until the temperature has
dropped down to the correct level
again.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above
-18 °C for a long time, check that the
frozen food has not started to
defrost. If it has, check that the food
is safe to use and if it is, then use it
as soon as possible.
–
when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
–
in the event of a power cut.

SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Switching on SuperCool
SuperCool is particularly recommended
for the faster chilling of large amounts
of fresh food or drink.
^ Touch the sensor for the refrigerator
zone so that it is highlighted in
yellow.
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it
lights up in yellow.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function will switch itself
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
The sensor is highlighted in white and
the appliance continues running at
normal power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it
is highlighted in white.
The original temperature will now
appear in the temperature display for
the refrigerator, and the appliance will
continue to operate at normal power.
The appliance will now operate at full
power to lower the temperature in the
refrigerator zone, and the newly set
temperature of 2°C will show in the
temperature display.
