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.

Warning and Safety instructions

-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.

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 supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele spare parts are used.

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).

Only install the refrigeration appliance in a solid, rectangular and level housing unit, positioned on an even and level floor.

Correct use

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. 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 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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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. There is no risk during normal operation.

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.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic 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 human health and to the environment if disposed of with household waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with household 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 old 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 refrigerant in the cooling circuit and oil in the compressor is contained, and will not leak into the environment.

Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. For further information, see “Warning and safety instructions” in these operating instructions.

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 refrigeration 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 humidity.

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.

Side-by-side combinations

Risk of damage due to condensation 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.

Installation

Exception: your refrigeration appliance can be installed next to another refrigeration appliance with an integrated heating unit if each appliance is built into a separate niche. Please contact your dealer for specific information about which combinations will work with your refrigeration appliance.

Climate range

Climate range	Ambient temper-
	ature

SN	+10 to +32 °C

N	+16 to +32 °C

ST	+16 to +38 °C

T	+16 to +43 °C

A lower ambient 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.

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.

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.

Limiting the opening angle of

the appliance doors

The door hinges are set to enable the appliance doors to be opened wide.

If the opening angle of the doors needs to be limited to approx. 90°, the hinge can be adjusted to accommodate this.

The locking pins for limiting the door opening must be fitted before the refrigeration appliance is installed.

The refrigerator section door must be taken off in order to insert the pins into the upper hinge of the freezer section door (see the installation instructions provided).

Insert the locking pins supplied for limiting the door opening into the hinges from above.

This will limit the opening angles of the appliance doors to approx. 90°.

Installation

Electrical connection

The refrigeration appliance must only be connected to an earthed socket using the connection cable supplied. A longer connection cable is available to order from the Miele Customer Service Department.

The socket must be easily accessible after the refrigeration appliance has been installed. If the socket is not easily accessible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.

Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the refrigeration appliance to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable.

For safety reasons, do not use an extension lead or multi-socket adapter.

The electrical system must comply with local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

For safety reasons, we recommend using a type residual current device (RCD) in the assigned electrical installation for connecting the refrigeration appliance.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a qualified specialist or the Miele Customer Service Department.

These operating instructions and the data plate indicate the nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection.

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the refrigeration appliance to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source, e.g. solar power. When the refrigeration appliance is switched on, power surges could result in an auto switch-off. This could damage the electronic module.

Connecting the refrigeration appliance

Insert the plug connector into the socket at the back of the refrigeration appliance.

Make sure that the plug connector has clicked into position correctly.

Insert the plug of the refrigeration appliance into the socket.

The refrigeration appliance is now connected to the electricity supply.
