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.
6

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, 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 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).
8
Warning and Safety instructions
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested 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.
~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.
~The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
~Do not 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 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 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, make sure the bottle 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. 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.
~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.
~Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These will 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 the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
10
Warning and Safety instructions

~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 in the appliance or the refrigerator door, 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.
Stainless steel appliances
~Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door.
These damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating.
~The high-quality surface of the door is susceptible to scratching.
Even fridge magnets can cause scratching.
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.

Switching on and off
Before using for the first time
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.
On stainless steel appliances, the stainless steel door (and sides, depending on model) have a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation.
^Do not remove this foil until the appliance has been positioned in its final location.
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
The refrigerator and freezer sections are switched on together by pressing the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel, or by pressing the On/Off button on the left hand side of the control panel.
^Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel.
The temperature display for the refrigerator section will show the selected temperature setting. The temperature display for the freezer and the alarm indicator light will flash until the freezer section has cooled down to the correct temperature for freezing.
The appliance will start cooling down and the interior light in the refrigerator section will come on if you open the door.
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. Do not place food in the freezer section until the temperature is at least -18°C.
13
Switching on and off
Switching off
^Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel until both temperature displays go out.
The interior light will not come on when you open the door and the cooling process will be switched off.
To switch the refrigerator section off separately
The refrigerator section can be switched off without having to switch off the freezer section. This is useful e.g. whilst on holiday.
^Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel.
The temperature display will light up for both the refrigerator and the freezer sections.
^Press the On/Off button for the refrigerator section on the left hand side of the control panel until the temperature display for the refrigerator section goes out.
The refrigerator section is now switched off.
The temperature display for the freezer section will remain lit up.
To switch the refrigerator section on again
^Press the On/Off button on the left hand side of the control panel again.
The refrigerator section temperature display will light up. The refrigerator section will start cooling. The interior light will come on when the door is opened.
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 it.
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.
14
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 placed 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 section
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C in the middle of the refrigerator.
. . . 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.
Setting the temperature
The temperature is set in each zone by using the respective temperature button.
^Press the temperature button repeatedly until the indicator light for the temperature you want lights up in the display.
The first time you press the button the indicator light for the last temperature you set will flash in the display.
Thereafter the temperature value will change each time you press the button until the highest setting is reached. It will then go back to the lowest setting again.

The correct temperature
The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while.
The indicator for the temperature which has been set for the refrigeration section will light up.
The indictator for the temperature which has been set for the freezer section will flash until that temperature is reached.
The temperature can be set to be slightly colder than the temperature range shown on the control panel for the refrigeration and freezer sections.
The following example shows how to set the freezer section temperature lower than -15 °C but not as cold as -18 °C:
^Press the temperature button repeatedly until the indicator light for -15 °C lights up in the display.
^Press it again for approx. 5 seconds to set the temperature below - 15 °C.
The temperature has now been set between -15 °C and -18 °C. However, this is not visible in the temperature display.
Temperature display
The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required temperature.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted:
–In the refrigerator section from 1 °C to 9 °C.
–In the freezer section from from -15 °C to -32 °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.
The relevant temperature indicator light will flash if a different temperature is being set.
The freezer section temperature indicator light will also flash if
–the temperature in the freezer section is not within the possible temperature range.
–the temperature in the freezer section has risen by several degrees, indicating that it is warming up too much.
The alarm off indicator will flash at the same time.
