Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the
appropriate EU directives.
This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but
flammable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and
does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
The use of this refrigerant 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 refrigerant flowing around
the cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does
not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of
refrigerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
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 a combustible
gas/air mixture building up. For every 11g of coolant at least 1m3 of
room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
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.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration 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.
Danger of injury. 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 injury. 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 zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food 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.

24
Switching off for longer periods of time
If, during a long absence, the
refrigeration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door(s) left
shut, there is a risk of mould forming
inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the
refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
going to be used for a longer period of
time, observe the following:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
Switch off at the wall socket and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the fuse.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the
appliance and avoid odours building
up inside.
Switching on and off
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.
25
The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Bacteria will cause food
which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these bacteria. Reducing the
temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the refrigeration
appliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance 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 refrigeration
appliance. This refrigeration
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 long periods, a temperature of
-18°C is required. At this temperature
the growth of bacteria is generally
halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above -10°C, the bacteria
become active in the food again so it
cannot be kept as long. For this reason,
partially defrosted or defrosted food
must not be re-frozen. Food may be refrozen once it has been cooked , as the
high temperatures achieved when
cooking destroy most bacteria.
26
The correct temperature
Temperature display
In normal operation the display shows
the average, current temperature in
the refrigerator section and the
temperature in the warmest area of
the freezer section.
If the temperature in the freezer section
is not within the normal temperature
display range, dashes will flash in the
display.
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.
Setting the temperature in the refrigerator / freezer sections
The temperatures for the refrigerator
and freezer sections are set
independently of one another.
Select the refrigerator or the freezer
section.
Use the two sensors underneath the
display to set the temperature.
By touching the sensor
- the temperature will get colder
- the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
27
The correct temperature
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 steps.
- Leaving 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.
Or
Touch the OK sensor to confirm your
selection.
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 range
The temperature can be adjusted:
- in the refrigerator section from 1°C to
9°C
- in the freezer section from -15°C to
-26°C.
28
Using Super cool, Super freeze and Dynamic cooling
Super cool function
