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.

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 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).

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).

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

guarantee.

10

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.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use a steam-cleaning

~

appliance to defrost or clean the
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 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.

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 the
appliance.

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.

19

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.

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.

...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.

...intherefrigerator 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 0to3°C.

20

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

X sensor: the temperature will get

colder

Y 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.

The correct temperature

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 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
