This appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such materials or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such purposes can cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance is not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do not let them play with it.
Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.
Technical safety
The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU
guidelines.
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 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.
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 every 8 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.
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 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.
Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utility room). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection and cause a short circuit.
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.
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 guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
11
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 equipment often contain valuable materials. They also 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.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.
In this way, coolant 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.

Switching on and off
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.
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-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.

In normal operation the upper temperature display shows the average, current temperature in the refrigerator section and the lower temperature display the lowest 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
The temperatures for the refrigerator and freezer sections can be set independently of one another.
Touch the temperature display for the section you want to change.
The previously set temperature will appear.

The correct temperature
Touch OK immediately after setting the temperature to confirm your entry.
Or wait approx. 8 seconds after the sensors were last touched. The temperature will then be adopted automatically.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also be confirmed and adopted by closing the appliance door.
The temperature display will then change to the current temperature in the appliance.
Temperature range
–The temperature in the refrigerator section can be adjusted from 1 °C to 9 °C.
–The temperature in the freezer section can be adjusted from -15 °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.
