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 coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 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 coolant 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 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.
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 disconnected from the power supply
during installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation work on the mains water connection. It is only completely isolated from the power supply when:
8
Warning and Safety instructions
– the mains fuses are switched off, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or – the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the
cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty
mains water connection can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only ever be carried out by a Miele-authorised technician.
The ice-cube maker must only be connected to a cold water
supply.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty mains
water connection.
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.

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.
Rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes:
– before using for the first time, – if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time,
11
Warning and Safety instructions
– regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month), to
remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the water supply) and
– before switching the ice cube maker off for a long time.

Transport

leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.
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.
26

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.

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 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.

... in the refrigerator section and in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

We recommend a temperature of 4°C in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro zone is controlled automatically and maintained at 0 to 3°C.
27
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
28
– the temperature will get warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in the display.
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 3°C to
9°C
– in the freezer section from -15°C to
-26°C.
