Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance
complies with all current local and national safety requirements.
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 has a lower greenhouse effect
than some other refrigerants.
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 and does not have any adverse
effect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking
refrigerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
– call Miele.
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room should be in which it is installed. In the event of a leakage,
if the appliance is in a small room, there is a danger of combustible
gases building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1m3 of room
space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated
on a data plate inside the appliance.
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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. 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 mains electricity supply.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technicianin order to avoid a hazard.
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).
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains
connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not
operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to
moisture (e.g in a garage or laundry).
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.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply
during installation, maintenance and repair work, and during
installation work on the mains water connection. It is only completely
isolated from the power supply when:
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable), or
– the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the
cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty
mains water connection can result in considerable danger for the
user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains
water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only
be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
The ice cube maker must only be connected to a cold water
supply.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty water
connection.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Correct use
The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range
(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, will lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods, with the result that it cannot maintain the required
temperature.
To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the
ventilation gaps in the appliance and built-in structure must not be
covered or blocked in any way. This would also increase the energy
consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Flammable gas mixtures
can be ignited by electrical components.
Danger of fire and explosion!
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,
causing injury or damage.
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.
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. Danger of injury!
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Food stored for too long may present a 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.
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Stainless steel appliances
The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not adhere sticky notes,
transparent tape, masking tape or other adhesives onto the stainless
steel surface.
The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratches.
Cleaning and care
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
Steam could 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 and ice, or accelerate the defrosting process,
– separate frozen foods and remove ice trays.
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.
Transporting the appliance
To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and
in its packaging.
Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very 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.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to
damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
– puncturing the refrigerant channels in the condenser,
– bending any pipework, or
– scratching the surface coating.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. In normal operation there is no risk.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it
penetrates the airways.
12
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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. 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!
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact Miele. You are
also responsible for deleting any
personal data that may be stored on the
appliance being disposed of.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of the appliance 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.
Please ensure that your old appliance
presents no danger to children while
being stored awaiting disposal. See
"Warning and Safety instructions" for
more information.

Switching off for longer periods of time
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned and the door(s) left shut,
there is a danger of mould building
up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday:
switch the appliance off,
switch off at the wall and withdraw
the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains circuit breaker
or remove the screw-out fuse in
countries where this is applicable,
empty the ice-cube drawer
turn off the mains water tap
clean the appliance, and
leave the appliance doors slightly ajar
to avoid the build-up of odours.
It is also advisable to carry out the last
two instructions if you are switching
the refrigerator section off for a longer
period of time.
22
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 is stored in the
refrigerator,
– 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 within
specific ambient temperatures
(climate range). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
Adjusting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone can be raised or lowered, e.g. if
you want to store items like fish.
The settings to have specific
temperature ranges allocated to them,
they do not represent temperatures
themselves.
The default setting for the
temperature in the PerfectFresh zone
is b5. Under certain circumstances, a
setting from b1 tob4 can cause
negative temperatures to be reached.
Food could freeze.
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 select settings
from to :
. . . in the PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3°C.
Automatic temperature distribution (DynaCool)
The fan switches on automatically when
the cooling system for the PerfectFresh
zone switches on. It distributes the
temperature in the appliance to all areas
more evenly so that all the food will be
chilled to about the same degree.
– : lowest temperature
– : highest temperature
By touching the sensor
– the temperature will get colder
– the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The following information appears in the
display when the sensors are touched:
– When first tapped: The last preset
temperature flashes.
23
The correct temperature
– With each subsequent touch of the
sensor the temperature is adjusted in
increments.
– Leaving the finger on the sensor
changes the temperature
continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last
time a sensor has been touched, the
display automatically reverts to showing
the current temperature inside the
PerfectFresh zone.
. . . 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 fully defrosted food must not be
refrozen. Food may be refrozen once it
has been cooked, as the high
temperatures achieved when cooking
destroy most micro-organisms.
Setting the temperature in the freezer section
Select the freezer section .
The Freezer symbol will light up
yellow.
You can now adjust the temperature
in the freezer section by touching the
sensor.
24
By touching the sensor
– the temperature will get colder
– the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The following information appears in the
display when the sensors are touched:
– When first tapped: The last preset
temperature flashes.
– With each subsequent touch of the
sensor the temperature is adjusted in
1°C steps.
The correct temperature
– Leaving the finger on the sensor
changes the temperature
continuously. Once the highest or
lowest temperature value has been
reached the sensor or ,
respectively, will go out.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last
time a sensor has been touched, the
display automatically reverts to showing
the actual mean temperature inside the
freezer section.
When 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. It will take this long for the
appliance to give an accurate reading.
If, after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature in the freezer section
can be set from -14°C to -28°C.
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.
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 and door alarm
The 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.
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 audio and visual signals are
activated, for example:
– when the appliance is switched on if
the temperature in a temperature
zone differs greatly from the set
temperature.
– if a lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when food is being loaded,
rearranged or taken out.
– when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
If the temperature in the freezer
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, use it as soon as
possible or cook it before freezing it
again.
