IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration appliance complies with statutory and regulatory requirements.

This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is combustible, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 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 coolant can damage the eyes.

In the event of damage:

-Avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark.

-Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply.

-Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.

-Contact Miele Customer Service.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 the appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly grounded. 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 electricity supply.

The outlet 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 power cord supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are used.

The electrical outlet must be properly grounded.

Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the machine in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g., garages, laundry rooms).

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.

The machine must be disconnected from the power supply during installation, maintenance, and repair work, and installation work on the fresh water connection. The machine is only completely isolated from the power supply when:

-the fuses have been switched off, or

-the circuit breaker has been removed completely, or

-the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on the power cord when disconnecting it from the power supply.

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs, or a faulty fresh water connection can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs, installation work on the fresh water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only ever be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

Any manufacturer's warranty will be void if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

The refrigeration appliance is designed for use within a specific climate class (room temperature range). Do not use in a climate class for which it is not designed. A lower room temperature will cause the compressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable to maintain the required temperature.

WARNING! DANGER of overheating! Do not cover or block the air vents. This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the power consumption and cause damage to the appliance.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store any explosive materials or products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the appliance. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.

Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g., an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. Risk of sparking and explosion.

Risk of injury and damage. Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.

Risk of injury and damage. When chilling drinks in the freezer zone, make sure that bottles are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.

Risk of injury. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Risk of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice pops in your mouth straight from the freezer section. The very low temperature of the frozen food can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.

Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked.

When eating stored food, there is a danger 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. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instructions.

Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

Stainless steel machines:

Adhesives will damage the coated stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape, or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface.

The surface is easily scratched. Even magnets can cause scratching.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals. They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to

-remove frost or ice,

-separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost 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.

Transport

To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and in its packaging.

Risk of injury and damage. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Disposal of your old appliance
