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 is 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 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 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).

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.
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
– or the screw-out fuse is 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.
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.
10
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.
Before making plumbing
~
connections, ensure the appliance is
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance must not be used in
~
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
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.
Correct use
Never handle frozen food with wet
~
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
Do not operate any electrical
~
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.
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 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.
Never place electric heaters or
~
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
11
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 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.
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 supsceptible 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.

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.
...inthePerfectFresh zone
Setting the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone can be raised or lowered, e.g. if
you want to use it for storing items like
fish.
Select the PerfectFresh zone.
^
The "PerfectFresh" symbol will light up
yellow.
^ You can now adjust the temperature
in the PerfectFresh zone by touching
the X sensor.
You can choose from settings
b1to b9:
b1: Lowest temperature,
b9: Highest temperature.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at 0to2°C.
By touching the
X sensor: the temperature will get
colder
Y sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
The setting 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
setting selected flashes.
19
The correct temperature
Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
–
changes the setting incrementally.
Leaving a finger on the sensor:
–
changes the setting continuously.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off a sensor, the current setting of
the PerfectFresh zone is automatically
shown.
The settings, b1to b9have specific
temperature ranges allocated to
them. The temperature itself will not
appear in the display.
b5is the default setting for the
PerfectFresh zone. If a setting of b1
to b4 is selected, the temperature
can fall below 0°C. Food could
freeze!
Dynamic cooling
The dynamic cooling fan automatically
switches on when the cooling system
for the PerfectFresh zone switches on.
It distributes the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone to all areas more
evenly so that all the food will be chilled
to about the same degree.
...inthefreezer 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.

You can now use the arrow sensors
on either side of the temperature
display to set the temperature you
require.
By touching the
X sensor: the temperature will get
colder
Y sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
The correct temperature
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 X or Y sensor disappears.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off a sensor, the average,
current temperature of the freezer 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 in the freezer section
can be adjusted 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.
Temperature display
During normal operation the
temperature displays on the control
panel show the temperature in the
middle of the PerfectFresh zone and
the temperature in the warmest part of
the freezer section.
Changing the temperature display
brightness
The temperature display brightness can
be adjusted to suit the lighting
conditions of the room.

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
An alarm will sound if the temperature
becomes too warm.
The alarm off sensor will flash red and
the "Freezer" symbol will flash.
The alarm will sound, the alarm off
sensor will light up red and the relevant
symbol will flash, for example,
– if a lot of room air enters the freezer
section when food is being loaded,
rearranged or taken out.
