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 11g of coolant at least 1m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperat­ures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A lower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable to maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency 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.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans
or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling
drinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 defros-
ted 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 instruc-
tions 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.

Accessories and spare parts

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.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your refrigeration appliance.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial
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.
Disposing of your old appli­ance
Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, com­pounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle elec­trical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele. By law, you are solely re­sponsible for deleting any personal data from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigera­tion appliance’s pipework before or dur­ing transportation to an authorised col­lection depot. This is to ensure that coolant in the cooling circuit and oil in the compressor is contained, and will not leak into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal. For further in­formation, see “Warning and Safety in­structions” in these operating and in­stallation instructions.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Installation site

Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the refrigeration appli­ance tipping over.
This refrigeration appliance is very heavy and can tip forwards when the appliance door is open.
Keep the appliance door(s) closed until the refrigeration appliance has been built in. The refrigeration appli­ance must be secured in its building­in niche in accordance with the oper­ating and installation instructions.
Fire risk and risk of damage from
appliances which give off heat. Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the refrigera­tion appliance.
This refrigeration appliance must not be installed underneath a hob.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames. Open flames can set fire to the refri-
geration appliance. Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the refrigeration appli­ance.
This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding on the installation site, please bear in mind that your refrigera­tion appliance will use more energy if installed near to a heater, a cooker or other appliance that gives off heat. Avoid direct sunlight. The higher the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor runs and the higher the energy consumption is.
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity. In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex­ternal refrigeration appliance panels. This condensate can cause corrosion on external appliance panels.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation.
After installation please make sure that the appliance door(s) closes (close) properly and the refrigeration appliance is installed in accordance with these installation instructions. It is essential to comply with the spe­cified ventilation cutout require­ments.

Installation

Side-by-side combinations

Risk of damage due to condens-
ation on external appliance panels. In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex­ternal appliance panels, which can cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration appliance models directly next to or on top of one other.
If you want to place refrigeration ap­pliances without integrated heating units next to each other, a distance of 150mm must be maintained between them.

Climate range

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. A lower room temperature leads to the compressor switching off for longer periods. This can cause the internal temperature in the refrigeration appli­ance to rise with the risk of food deteri­orating and going off.
The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refri­geration appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
A refrigeration appliance from the SN climate range can operate without any difficulties in rooms with a cooler am­bient temperature (down to +5°C).

Installation

Ventilation

Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation. If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the com­pressor will run more frequently and for longer periods. This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the refrigeration appliance.
It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must not be covered or blocked in any way.
They must also be regularly dusted.
Air at the back of the refrigeration appli­ance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see “Installation dimensions” and the installation instructions provided).

Furniture door panel

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen fur­niture the thickness and edge radius of the furniture door panel and the gap that runs around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the following:
–Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door panel and the housing unit door above or below it must be at least 3mm.
–Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration appliance furniture door panel and the adjoining housing unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing unit door or wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the thickness and edge radius of the appliance fur­niture door.
16
This must be taken into consideration when planning your kitchen and when replacing an old refrigeration appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.
