Danger of suffocation. Ensure that

any packing material is disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

Technical safety

The cooling system has been

checked for leaks. This appliance complies with all applicable local and national safety requirements.

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 refrigerant flowing throughout the system. Though this is unavoidable, it does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transport and installation/setup of the appliance so that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:

– Avoid open flames and anything that

creates sparks,

– Disconnect the appliance from the

power supply,

– Ventilate the room in which the

appliance is located for several minutes,

– Contact Miele.

The more coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, there is a danger of combustible gases building up if the appliance is in too small of a room. For every8gofcoolant, at least 1 m room space is required. The amount of coolant contained in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To protect the refrigerator from

possible damage, take care that it always remains in an upright position. Any time it is moved or installed, always let it stand for 30 to 60 minutes before plugging it in. This allows the coolant and lubricant to settle down, which is essential for proper operation.

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the power supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid damage to the appliance. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be ensured if it has been properly grounded in compliance with the applicable safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed. If there is any doubt contact a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

Do not connect the appliance to the

electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance in areas

where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g. garages, laundry rooms, etc.) Moisture can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

This appliance is not to be used in

mobile locations such as ships.

A damaged appliance can be

dangerous. Before installing the appliance, check for visible damage. Do not operate a damaged appliance.

To ensure safe operation, use the

appliance only when it is fully installed.

Ensure the appliance is

disconnected from the power supply during installation, maintenance and repair work or work on the water supply. The appliance is only completely disconnected from the electrical supply when:

– the respective circuit breaker is

tripped,

– the respective fuse is removed, or

– the power cord is unplugged.

Pull on the plug and not on the cord when removing it from the outlet.

Improper installation, repair and

maintenance work or work on the water supply can be dangerous for the user of the appliance. Installation, repair and maintenance work or repairs on the ice cube maker should only be performed by a Miele authorized technician.

Repairs not performed by a Miele

authorized service technician will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance. Defective components should only be replaced with parts from Miele.

Miele will not be held liable for

damage resulting from a faulty connection to the water supply.

The ice cube maker is not intended

to be used with a hot water supply line.

Proper use

The appliance is designed for use

within a certain climate range (room temperature range) and should not be used outside this range. The climate range is specified on the data plate inside the appliance. If the room is too cold, it will cause the cooling system to remain off for too long so that the temperature in the appliance rises.

WARNING! Danger of damage from

overheating. May restrict operation. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

If greasy foods are stored on the

appliance or the appliance door, make sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance. This can cause the plastic to crack and break.

Never store explosive materials or

products with flammable propellants (spray cans, for example) in the appliance. The electric components can ignite the flammable gas. Fire and explosion hazard!

Do not operate any electrical

devices in the appliance (ice cream maker, for example). This could cause sparking. Risk of explosion!

Do not use the freezer section for

storing cans or bottles that contain carbonated beverages or liquids that could freeze. The cans or bottles could burst. Risk of personal injury or damage to the appliance!

Bottles that are put in the freezer for

quick cooling must be removed within one hour. Otherwise, they could burst. Risk of injury and damage to the appliance!

Do not handle frozen items or metal

parts when your hands are wet. Your hands could freeze to the items. Risk of injury!

Never put ice or popsicles in your

mouth immediately after taking them out of the freezer.Your lips or tongue could freeze to the item. Risk of injury!

Never re-freeze partially or

completed thawed food. Thawed food should be used promptly, before it loses nutritional value or spoils. However, once it has been cooked, thawed food can be refrozen.

Eating food stored for too long can

cause food poisoning. The storage life depends on many factors, including the quality of the food, how fresh it is, and the storage temperature. Always observe the food producer's recommended storage instructions and best before dates.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use only original Miele parts.

Adding or installing other parts will void any warranty and/or product liability claims.

Cleaning and care

^ Touch the button for turning the

refrigerator and/or the freezer section On / Off so that the respective temperature is displayed.

The appliance starts to cool.

The top temperature display shows the temperature in the refrigerator section, the bottom temperature is that in the freezer section. If the temperature in the freezer section is above 32°F (0°C), only dashes are displayed.

Turning the Appliance On / Off

The alarm symbol ; on the control panel flashes until the selected temperature is reached.

The interior lighting will come on when the refrigerator door or a freezer drawer is opened.

Allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer section until the temperature is cold enough (at least 0°F / -18°C).

Turning the appliance off

^ Touch the button for turning the

refrigerator and/or the freezer section on On / Off until the respective temperature display goes out.

This is not possible when the safety lock is on, which is indicated by the 0 symbol on the control panel.

Vacation Tips

^ Turn off the ice cube maker.

^ Transfer all ice cubes to the right part

of the upper drawer or to the bottom drawer.

^ Use all perishables.

^ Freeze other items.

Long vacations (if you will be away for more than four weeks)

^ Shut off the water supply to the ice

cube maker. When the ice cube maker LED ® starts blinking, the remaining water in the supply line is in the ice cube maker. Leave the ice cube maker on and working for one day so that the remaining ice cubes are ejected.

^ Turn off the Ice maker.

^ Remove all ice cubes from the

drawer and dispose of them.

^ Remove all food from the appliance.

^ Turn the appliance off.

^ Unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet or trip the circuit breaker.

Short vacations (if you will be away for less than four weeks)

^ Shut off the water supply to the ice

cube maker. When the ice cube maker LED ® starts blinking, the remaining water in the supply line is in the ice cube maker. Leave the Ice Maker on and working for one day so that the remaining ice cubes are ejected.

^ Clean the appliance.

^ Leave the doors ajar to prevent any

odor build-up in the appliance.

If, during a long absence, the appliance is turned off but not cleaned and the doors are left closed, bacteria may build up in the appliance.

The Right Temperature

The right temperature is very important for storing food. If food is not stored at the right temperature, bacteria can multiply rapidly, causing the food to spoil. This can be prevented or delayed by selecting the right temperature. Temperature affects the rate at which bacteria multiply. Reducing the temperature slows down this process.

The temperature in the appliance will rise for the following reasons:

– if you open the door frequently or

keep it open too long,

– if you put too much food in it,

– if you put food in it that is too warm,

– if the room temperature is too high.

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (room temperature range) and should not be used outside this range.

...intherefrigerator

We recommend a temperature of 39°F (3°C) in the refrigerator section.

Automatic cold air circulation (DynaCool)

Whenever the refrigerator section turns on for cooling, the fan is automatically turned on as well. This ensures that cold air is evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator, so that all the food stored inside will be chilled to approximately the same temperature.

...inthefreezer

For freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for longer periods of time, the temperature needs to be 0°F (-18°C). At this temperature, most bacteria stop multiplying. However, when the temperature rises above 14°F (-10°C) the bacteria become active, causing the food to start deteriorating and reducing the storage life. This is why any partially or completely thawed food must never be refrozen until it has been cooked. High cooking temperatures will kill most bacteria.

The Right Temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation the display shows the current average refrigerator temperature and the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer.

Dashes are displayed if the temperature in the freezer section is not within the displayable range.

Depending on the room temperature, it can take several hours (3 to 8) until the selected temperature is reached and displayed steadily.

If the temperature was above 0°F (-18°C) for a longer period of time you will need to check to make sure that no frozen food started to thaw. Any food that started to thaw must be used as soon as possible!

The temperature display flashes when

– a new temperature is being set,

– the temperature in the appliance has

risen by several degrees, indicating that it is warming up too much, or

This short-term loss of cooling is no cause for concern in the following cases:

– when the door has been left open for

a while, for example to take out or put in a large amount of food,

– when fresh food is being frozen.

Setting the temperature for the refrigerator and freezer

The temperatures for the refrigerator and the freezer are set separately using the buttons for the respective section.

^ Set the desired temperatures using

each of the buttons.

Tap

– Up to increase the temperature

– Down to decrease the temperature.

The temperature display flashes while you set the new temperature.

– a fault is displayed "F1" to "F5" (see

"Frequently asked questions").

The Right Temperature

When you tap the buttons, you will see the following changes in the display:

– When first tapped: The last

temperature selected flashes.

– Every new tap:

The temperature value changes in increments of 1 degree.

– Holding down the button will change

the temperature value continuously.

Approximately 5 seconds after you release the button, the actual temperature in the appliance will be displayed.

If you have changed the temperature and the appliance is not very full, wait

approx. 6 hours,ifitisfull, approx. 24 hours before checking the

temperature display again. It will take that long to reach the selected temperature.

If, after this amount of time, the temperature is too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

Temperature ranges

The temperature can be selected within the following ranges:

– In the refrigerator section, 36°F to

44°F (2°C to 6°C).

– In the freezer section, 7°F to -15°F

(-14°C to -27°C).

Using SuperCool in the refrigerator section

The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).

Turning on SuperCool

SuperCool is particularly recommended for quickly cooling large amounts of fresh food or drinks.

^ Touch the button for turning

SuperCool on and off so that the ª symbol to the left of the display will come on.

The temperature in the refrigerator now begins to fall, with maximum cooling performance.

To save energy, you can turn off SuperCool yourself once the food or drinks are sufficiently chilled.

^ Touch the button for turning

SuperCool On / Off so that the ª symbol to the left of the display will go out.

The appliance now continues running with normal cooling performance.

Using SuperCool in the freezer section

For best results, turn on SuperCool before putting fresh food into the freezer.

Fresh food will be frozen quickly, so that the nutritional value, vitamin content, appearance and taste are maintained.

Exceptions:

– if you are loading frozen food into the

freezer.

– if you are not loading more than

4.5 lbs (2 kg) fresh food into the freezer per day.

Turning SuperCool on

SuperCool should be turned on 6 hours before you place fresh food in

the freezer. However, if you want

maximum freezing performance, SuperCool should be turned on 24 hours beforehand!

Turning off SuperCool

SuperCool turns off automatically after approx. 30 - 65 hours. The length of time required until it turns off depends on the amount of fresh food added. ª goes out, and the appliance continues running with normal cooling performance.

To save energy, you can turn off SuperCool once the freezer reaches a constant temperature of at least 0°F (-18°C). Therefore you should check the temperature in the freezer section.

^ Touch On / Off button for SuperCool

so that the ª symbol to the right of the display goes out.

The appliance now continues running with normal cooling performance.

^ Touch the button for turning

SuperCool On / Off so that the ª symbol to the right of the display comes on.

The temperature in the freezer section now begins to fall, with maximum cooling performance.

The appliance is equipped with a warning system to ensure that the temperature in the freezer section does not rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if doors or drawers are left open.

Temperature alarm

Temperature and Door Alarm

If the temperature was above 0°F (-18°C) for a longer period of time, you will need to check to make sure that no frozen food started to thaw. Any food that started to thaw must be used as soon as possible or cooked before refreezing!
