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 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 that they are recycled.

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 legal safety requirements. Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

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

–Hostels and guest houses.

It must only be used as a domestic appliance to cool and store foodstuffs as well as to store deep frozen food, freeze fresh food and to prepare ice.

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.

A damaged appliance 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, but does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.

Care must be taken during the transportation and installation 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.

~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.

~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 connected load) match 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 unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

9

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 suitably qualified and competent person 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.

~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.

~ The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

–it has been switched off at the wall socket and the plug has been withdrawn, or

–the fuse from the fused spur connection unit has been withdrawn, or

–the mains fuse has been disconnected,

–or the screw out fuse has been removed in countries where this is applicable.

~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 such as ships, if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions

~The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty connection to the mains water supply.

~Connection to the mains water supply and any repairs to the ice cube maker must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person.

~The ice cube maker is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.

~In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay 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.

~Before making plumbing connections, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Correct use

~Never handle frozen food 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 thawed or partially thawed food. 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 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 in the refrigerator zone, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright.

~Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids 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, Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

~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.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

~ 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.

~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 gaps in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

~The 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.

~Do not 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 latch or lock 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.

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.

. . . in the refrigerator and the PerfectFresh zone

We recommend a temperature of 4 °C in the middle of the refrigerator.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 0 to 3 °C.

Dynamic cooling

The dynamic cooling fan automatically switches on when the cooling system for the refrigerator switches on. It distributes the temperature in the appliance to all areas evenly so that all the food will be chilled to about the same degree.

. . . 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 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.

19

The correct temperature

Setting the temperature

The temperatures in the refrigerator section/PrefectFresh zone and freezer section are set independently of one another.

^Select the refrigerator or the freezer section.

The "Refrigerator" symbol or the "Freezer" symbol will light up yellow.

^You can now use the arrow sensors on either side of the temperature display to set the temperature you require.

By touching the

sensor: the temperature will get colder

sensor: the temperature will get warmer.

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

The following information shows in the display when the sensors are touched:

–Touching a sensor once: the last temperature selected flashes.

–Each subsequent touch of a sensor: adjusts the temperature shown in

1 °C steps.

–Leaving a finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously.

When the highest or lowest temperature in the range is reached, the or sensor disappears.

Approx. 5 seconds after taking your finger off a sensor, the average, current temperature of the refrigerator or freezer section is automatically shown.

If 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 display, as it will take this long for the display to give an accurate reading. 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 3 °C to 9 °C

–In the freezer section from -14 °C to -28 °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.

20

The correct temperature

Temperature display

During normal operation the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section or the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.

Setting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone

The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is automatically held at 0 to 3 °C. It can be raised or lowered, e.g. if you want to use it for storing items like fish.

^Touch and leave your finger on the sensor.

^At the same time, briefly touch the On/Off sensor (without letting go of the sensor).

^Leave your finger on the sensor for another 5 seconds until c appears in the display.

^Touch the sensor repeatedly until § appears in the display.
