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.

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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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).
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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
In 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.
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 plumbing the appliance in, ensure that it is disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never 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.
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, resulting in injury or damage.
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.
13
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.
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.
Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to defrost or clean this appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
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 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.
This 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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Transporting the appliance
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to prevent damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is heavy and must be transported by two people.
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 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 PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 0 to 2 °C.
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 sensor.
You can choose from settings b 1 to b 9:
b 1: Lowest temperature, b 9: Highest temperature.
By touching the
sensor: the temperature will get colder
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.
23
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, b 1 to b 9 have specific temperature ranges allocated to them. The temperature itself will not appear in the display.
b 5 is the default setting for the PerfectFresh zone. If a setting of b 1 to b 4 is selected, the temperature can fall below 0°C. Food could freeze!
. . . 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 in the freezer section
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.
Select the freezer section.
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.
24
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 or 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.
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 d appears in the display.
Touch the On/Off sensor.
25
The correct temperature
The temperature display brightness can now be changed by touching thesensor:
d 0: Maximum brightness d 1: Reduced brightness d –: Return to menu.
The old setting lights up, and your newly selected setting flashes.
Touch the On/Off sensor to confirm the new setting.
Touch the sensor repeatedly until c appears in the display.
Touch the On/Off sensor.
You have now left the settings mode.
26
Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section 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 in the freezer section 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 flash red and the freezer symbol will flash, for example,
–if a lot of room air enters the freezer section when food is being loaded, rearranged or taken out.
–when freezing large amounts of food at once.
–when freezing food which is still warm.
–in the event of a power cut.
The alarm will stop and the symbols will go out as soon as the temperature has dropped down to the correct level again.
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 and the freezer symbol will continue to flash until the correct temperature has been reached.
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.
27
Alarm
Door alarm
The alarm will sound if a door is left open for more than approx. 2 minutes.
The alarm off sensor will light up red and the symbol for the section which has the opened door will flash.
