Technical safety

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance

complies with all current local and national safety requirements.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

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 1 m3 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.

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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), or

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

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!

9

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

21

Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time

Removing packaging material

Remove all packaging material from the inside of the appliance.

Protective foil

The stainless steel strips of the shelves and the door shelves have a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation. The external surfaces of the appliance doors and possibly also the side panels are covered with a protective foil.

Remove the protective foil only after the appliance has been installed in its intended location.

Cleaning and care

Please refer to the relevant instructions in "Cleaning and care".

Important: Each time the Miele Care product for stainless steel is used, it forms a protective film against dirt and water.

Immediately after removing the protective foil, apply the Miele Care product for stainless steel (see "Accessories - Optional accessories") to stainless steel strips and frames.

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 the appliance on

The refrigeration and freezer sections can be switched on together with the two On/Off sensors.

To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the refrigerator, allow it to run for approx. 3–5 hours (depending on the ambient temperature) before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer section until the temperature is at least -18 °C.

Touch one of the two On/Off sensors until the temperature display lights up.

The appliance is switched on and the interior lighting will come on when the fridge door is opened.

The temperature display for the refrigerator section shows the current temperature in the refrigerator section.

If the temperature in the freezer section is above 0 °C, bars will flash in the temperature display for the freezer section.

As soon as the temperature drops below 0 °C, the current temperature in the freezer section will flash in the display.

The display LEDs 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 = 3 °C

Temperature in the freezer section = -18 °C

23

Switching on and off

Switching the appliance off

Touch the right-hand On/Off sensor until all of the indicators go out.

If this is does not happen, the safety lock is activated (see "Further settings - Switching the safety lock on/off"). The refrigerator section interior lighting will go out and the cooling system is 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 switched off separately.

Touch the left-hand On/Off sensor until the temperature display for the refrigerator section goes out.

If this is does not happen, the safety lock is activated (see "Further settings - Switching the safety lock on/off").

The refrigerator section is switched off. The temperature in the freezer section will still be shown in the display. The interior lighting of the refrigerator section will go out.

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

To switch the refrigerator section on, press the left-hand On/Off sensor twice.

The refrigerator section is switched on and will start to cool. It will gradually 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,

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,

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.

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 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.

. . . 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 refrozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.

25

The correct temperature

Temperature display

Setting the temperature

In normal operation the upper temperature display shows the average, current temperature in the refrigerator section and the lower temperature display shows the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.

Depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature setting, it can take the machine a few hours to reach the temperature required and for this temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature on 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, use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.

Use the two and sensors of the relevant section to set the temperature higher or lower.

The following information appears in the display when the sensors are touched:

When first tapped: The last preset temperature flashes.

Each subsequent touch of the sensor: The temperature is adjusted in 1 °C steps.

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 refrigerator.

26

The correct temperature

Temperature range

The temperature in the refrigerator section can be set from 2 °C to 7 °C.

The temperature in the freezer section can be set from -14 °C and -26 °C.

Useful tip: 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. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.

If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, adjust it again.
