Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.
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, 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 coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:
– avoid naked 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
– contact your Miele dealer.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration 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 11 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.
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.
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 electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
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 utility room).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
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 so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapours to ignite. 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.
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.
Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage
instructions 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.
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 coolant 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 packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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.

Disposal 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 your Miele dealer for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) 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 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 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.

Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories.
22

Switching on and off

Operating the appliance

A light touch of the finger on the sensors is all that is required to operate this appliance.

Switching on

The freezer section and the refrigerator section can be switched on at the same time using the two On/Off controls.
To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for approx. 3-5hours (depending on ambient temperature) before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer until it has reached the required coldness (at least -18°C).
Touch one of the two On/Off
controls until the temperature display lights up.
The appliance will be switched on and the interior lighting will come on in the refrigerator section.
The temperature display for the refrigerator section indicates the temperature in the refrigerator section.
– If the temperature in the freezer
section is above 0°C, dashes will flash in the temperature display for the freezer section.
– As soon as the temperature drops
below 0°C the temperature in the freezer section will flash in the display.
– The display LED will flash until the
set temperature has been reached in the freezer section.
The appliance will gradually reach the pre-set temperatures:
– Temperature in the refrigerator
section= 2°C
– Temperature in the freezer
section=-18°C
23
Switching on and off

Switching off the whole appliance

Touch the right-hand On/Off
control until all of the indicators go out.
If this is does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting further settings - Activating and deactivating the safety lock). The refrigerator section interior lighting will go out and the cooling process will be switched off.

Switching off the refrigerator section separately

The refrigerator section can be switched off without having to switch off the freezer section. The freezer section cannot be turned off separately.
Touch the left-hand On/Off control
until the temperature display for the refrigerator section goes off.
If this is does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see "Selecting further settings - Activating and deactivating the safety lock). The refrigerator section is switched off. The temperature in the freezer section will still be shown in the display. The refrigerator section interior lighting will go out.

Switching the refrigerator section on separately (if previously switched off)

Touch the left-hand On/Off control
to switch on the refrigerator section.
The refrigerator section will be switched on and will start to cool down. It will reach the set temperature. The interior lighting will come on when the refrigerator section door is opened.

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,disconnect it from the mains,clean the appliance andleave the door(s) ajar to air the
appliance and avoid odours building up inside the appliance.
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.
24

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 within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

. . . in the refrigerator section

We recommend a temperature of 4°C in the refrigerator section.

. . . 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 re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.
25
The correct temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation the upper temperature display shows the
average, current temperature in the refrigerator section and the lower temperature display the highest temperature in the freezer section.
Depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature setting, it can take the appliance a few hours to reach the temperature required and for this temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature in the display.
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, then use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.

Setting the temperature

Use the and arrow sensors to
set the temperature higher or lower.
The following information shows in the display while the sensors are being touched:
– Touching a sensor once: the last
temperature selected flashes.
– Each subsequent touch of the
sensor: adjusts the temperature shown in 1°C increments.
– Keeping a finger on the sensor
changes the temperature continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last time a sensor has been touched, the current temperature inside the appliance is automatically shown.
