Technical safety
The refrigerant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains the refrigerant Isobutane (R600a), a natu-
ral gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is combustible, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase 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 system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking refrigerant can cause severe irritation to the eyes. In the event of any damage:
– avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
– disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply,
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several min-
utes, and
– contact Miele Technical Service.
The more coolant there is in an 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.
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 the 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.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Defective components should only be replaced by Miele original
parts. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty con-
nection to the fresh water supply.
The ice cube maker is not intended to be used with a hot water
supply line.
Danger of injury! Never tamper with the movable components on
the ice cube maker or the element on the ice cube maker.
Proper 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.
WARNING! Danger of overheating! Do not cover or block the air
vents. This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the power consumption and cause damage to the appliance.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance,
make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic compo­nents as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liq-
uids 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.
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 frost burn!
Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place
ice cubes or popsicles in your mouth straight from the freezer sec­tion. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or popsicles can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Danger of injury.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume de-
frosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be refrozen af­ter it has been cooked.
When eating stored food, there is a danger of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food, as well as the temper stored. Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage in­structions.
ature at which it is
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories.
Switching on and off
Touch the sensor to switch the refrig-
erator or freezer section on or off, so that the relevant temperature appears in the display.
The appliance will start cooling.
The interior lighting will come on when the refrigerator section door or a freezer drawer is opened.
Allow the appliance to stand for ap­prox. 1hour prior to connecting it to the power supply. This will help prevent any malfunc­tions.
Operating the appliance
A light touch of the finger on the sen­sors is all that is required to operate this appliance.
Switching the appliance on
The refrigerator and freezer sections are separately controlled and can be turned on and off so that only one section is in use if necessary This is useful, e.g. while on vacation if you only want the freezer section to remain on.
The temperature in the refrigerator sec­tion is shown in the top of the display and the temperature in the freezer sec­tion is shown in the bottom of the dis­play.
If the temperature in the freezer sec­tion is not within the normal tempera­ture display range (below 32°F / 0°C), dashes will flash in the display.
The alarm symbol will also flash in the control panel until the selected temperature has been reached.
To enable the temperature to get suf­ficiently cold inside the appliance, al­low the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it. Do not place food in the freezer until the temperature is at least 0°F (-18°C).
21
Switching on and off
Switching the appliance off
To switch the refrigerator or freezer
section on or off touch the sensor un­til the relevant temperature display goes out in the display. If this cannot be done, the safety lock is activated. The symbol will ap­pear in the control panel.
The interior lighting goes out and cool­ing is turned off.
Turning off for longer periods of time ­Vacation mode
If, during a long absence, the ap-
pliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a danger of bacteria building up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on vacation:
When all remaining ice cubes have
been produced, touch the On/Off sensor for the ice cube maker so that the indicator light for the ice cube maker goes out in the right-hand side of the display.
If you are going to be away for longer than a month, please also:
remove and dispose of the remaining
ice cubes from the ice cube con­tainer,
take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place,
switch the appliance off,unplug the power cord or trip the cir-
cuit breaker,
clean the appliance (see "Cleaning
and care"),
leave the door(s) ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odors building up in­side the appliance.
close the water shut-off valve.
If the indicator light for the ice cube maker begins to flash, this means that there is still water remaining in the ice cube maker.
Leave the ice cube maker turned on
for another day so that the remaining ice cubes can be produced.
22
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.
The temperature in the appliance will rise:
– if you open the door frequently or
keep it open too long,
– the more food that is stored in it
– if you put food in it that is too warm,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance. The 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 fridge section and in the PerfectFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of 39°F (4°C) in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 32°F to 37°F (0°C to
3°C).
Automatic cold air circulation (DynamicCooling)
The fan automatically turns on when the cooling system for the refrigerator sec­tion turns 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 a long time, a temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is required. Partially de­frosted or fully defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked.
23
The correct temperature
Temperature display
In normal operation the display shows the current average refrigerator temperature and the current tempera­ture in the warmest part of the freezer.
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.
if the temperature in the freezer
remains above 0°F(-18°C) for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started to defrost.
If it has, check that the food is safe to use and if it is, then use it as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.
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.
When you tap the buttons, you will see the following changes in the display:
– When first tapped: The last tempera-
ture selected flashes.
– Every new tap: The temperature value
changes in increments of 1 degree.
24
– 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, if it is full, 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.
The correct temperature
Adjusting the temperature in the Per­fectFresh zone
In the PerfectFresh zone the tempera­ture is maintained between 32 °F (0 °C) and 37 °F (3 °C). However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly.
The preset temperature in the Per­fectFresh zone is 5. If a setting of be­tween 1 and 4 is selected, minus temperatures may be reached, re­sulting in food freezing.
Select a higher level.
Touch the On/Off sensor for the Su-
perFreeze function for approx. 5 sec­onds.
The indicator light in the right-hand side of the display will light up at this time and after approx. 5 seconds S will flash in the bottom (freezer section) temperature display. MENU will light up in the display. You are now in Settings mode.
Touch the Super sensor again.
The last selected setting lights up in the display.
You can now adjust the temperature
from (lowest temperature) to (highest temperature) by touching the sensors for adjusting the temperature in the freezer section.
Touch the Super sensor again to save
the setting.
Touch the on and off sensor for the
freezer section to exit Settings mode.
The newly set temperature for the Per­fectFresh zone will gradually be reached.
Touch one of the sensors for setting
the temperature in the freezer section repeatedly until flashes in the bot­tom temperature display.
25
The correct temperature
Temperature range
The temperature can be selected within the following ranges:
– from 37°F (3°C) to 45°F (7°C) in the
refrigerator section.
– from 7°F (-14°C) to -15°F (-27°C) in
the freezer section.
The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can af­fect the time it takes for the appli­ance to reach the lowest tempera­ture.
If the ambient temperature is too high, the appliance may not reach the lowest temperature.
26
Using Automatic SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperCool function
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 the fast chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Touch the sensor for turning the Su-
perCool function on and off so that the indicator light in the left-hand side of the display lights up.
The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the appliance.
Turning off SuperCool
The SuperCool function turns off auto­matically after approx. 6 hours. The ap­pliance will then continue to work at normal power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Touch the sensor for turning the Su-
perCool function on and off so that the indicator light in the left-hand side of the display goes out.
The appliance will continue running at normal power.
27
Using Automatic SuperCool and SuperFreeze
