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 the Miele Service Department.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stainless steel appliances

Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface.

Warning and Safety instructions

The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause

scratching.

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 or defrost this appliance.

Steam could reach 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,

–separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

Do not 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 could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

Transporting the appliance

Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.

Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

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 penet-

rates the airways.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

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 dealer or Miele 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.

Before using for the first time

Packaging material

Remove all packaging material from the inside of the appliance.

Protective foil

The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent damage during transportation. The appliance doors, and side panels where applicable, have a protective foil.

Do not remove the foil until the appliance has been positioned in its final location.

Cleaning and care

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

Important! Each time it is used, the Miele stainless steel conditioning agent forms a water-repellant and dirtrepellant protective coating.

Treat the stainless steel trim and frames inside the appliance with the Miele stainless steel conditioning agent immediately after removing the protective foil (see "Guide to the appliance – Optional accessories").

Treat the side panels of a stainless steel appliance with the Miele stainless steel conditioning agent immediately after removing the protective foil (see "Guide to the appliance – Optional accessories").

Each time it is used the Miele stainless steel conditioning agent forms a wa- ter-repellant and dirt-repellant protective coating.

Important! The stainless steel appliance doors have a special coating that is resistant to dirt. Do not treat them with Miele stainless steel conditioning agent.

Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories.

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 = 3 °C

–Temperature in the freezer section =-18 °C

Switching off the whole appli-

ance

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 on and off

Switching off the refrigerator section/ PerfectFresh zone separately

The refrigerator section/PerfectFresh zone can be switched off without having to switch off the freezer section. The freezer section cannot be turned off separately.

Tip: We recommend using the Holiday mode function if you are away on holiday (see "Using Holiday mode"), so that the appliance operates at lower power rather than being switched off completely.

If the Super cool function has been previously selected, it will be switched off automatically.

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/ PerfectFresh zone on separately (if previously switched off)

Touch the left-hand On/Off control to switch on the refrigerator section.

The refrigerator section/PerfectFresh zone 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 and

leave 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.

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

and in the PerfectFresh zone

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

In the PerfectFresh zone the temperature is controlled automatically and is in the range 0 to 3 °C.

Automatic temperature distribution (DynaCool)

The fan switches on automatically when the cooling system for the refrigerator 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.

. . . 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-organ- isms 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 re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.

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 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.

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.

The correct temperature

Temperature range

–The temperature in the refrigerator section can be adjusted from 3 °C to 7 °C.

–The temperature in the freezer section can be adjusted from -14 °C to -26 °C.

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, as 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, you will need to adjust it again.

Temperature in the PerfectFresh zone

In the PerfectFresh zone the temperature is automatically maintained between 0 and 3 °C.

However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly.

How to adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is described in "Selecting further settings - Adjusting the temperature in the PerfectFresh

zone ".

Using Super cool and Super freeze

The following functions can be selected, depending on section.

–Refrigerator section

Super cool

–Freezer section

Super freeze

Super cool function

The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).

Tip: Super cool is particularly recommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.

When Super cool is switched on, the appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.

It switches itself off automatically after approx. 12 hours.

Tip: To save energy, Super cool can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

When Super cool is switched off the appliance reverts to working at normal power.

If Holiday mode is switched on, this will be switched off when the Super cool function is selected.

Super freeze function

For optimum results switch on the Super freeze function before putting fresh food into the freezer section. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.

Exceptions:

–when placing food in the freezer that is already frozen.

–when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily.

The Super freeze function should be switched on 6 hours before placing food in the freezer section.

When freezing the maximum amount of food the Super freeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.

When Super freeze is switched on, the appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.

The Super freeze function will switch itself off automatically after approx.

65 hours. The quantity of fresh food placed in the freezer will determine the duration before the Super freeze function turns off.

Tip: To save energy, you can manually switch off Super freeze once the freezer section reaches a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder. Check the temperature in the freezer section.

When Super freeze is switched off, the appliance will run at normal power again.

Using Super cool and Super freeze

Switching a function on or off

Touch the sensor for the function you want.

–The display LED next to the corresponding symbol will light up and the function will be switched on.

–The display LED next to the corresponding symbol will go out and the function will be switched off.

After an interruption to the power sup-

ply any function that was previously

switched on will be switched off.
