Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of it before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak out into the environment.

Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time.
They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance. Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.
This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.
This appliance is intended only for the cool storage of food and drink as well as for storing deep frozen food, freezing fresh food and for preparing ice. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance is not suitable for storing and refrigerating medications, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar substances or products. Incorrect use of the appliance may result in damage to or spoiling of the food or drinks being stored. Furthermore, the appliance must not be operated in areas where explosions may occur.
Miele will not be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised when they are near the appliance. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with it or to use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.
Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance complies with all current 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 coolant 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 damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,
–switch off at the mains and unplug the appliance,
–ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and
–call Miele.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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 8 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.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and rated load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
If moisture gets into electrical components, it could cause a short circuit.
Therefore, do not operate this appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse has been disconnected, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), or
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the air vents must not be covered or blocked in any way.
This would also increase the energy consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Flammable gas mixtures can be ignited by electrical components. Danger of fire and explosion!
Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream maker) inside the 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.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
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 and 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 ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Danger of injury!
Do not refreeze thawed or partially thawed food. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible, as food soon loses its nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked.
Food stored for too long may present a 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. Follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer's packaging regarding storage conditions and "use by" dates.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
Please note the following advice for ice cube production:
–Fill the water tank only with fresh, cold tap water. Hot or warm water or other liquids could damage the water tank and/or the ice cube maker.
–In order to produce fresh ice cubes, the water should be changed on a regular basis, and definitely before switching on the ice cube maker. This will prevent the build-up of mould in the water tank.
–Do not use water from reverse osmosis units. The appliance could be damaged.
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, 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 this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
–remove frost and ice,
–separate frozen foods and remove ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
17
Warning and Safety instructions
Never 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 might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a 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 hasn't been used for a long time,
–regularly if the ice cube maker is constantly on (at least once a month) to remove ice residues and prevent the water pipes from becoming blocked, and
–before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time.
Use lukewarm water only to rinse the ice cube maker. Do not use hot or boiling water. Do not add dishwasing liquid to the water.
18
Warning and Safety instructions
Transporting the appliance
To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and in its packaging.
Due to the size and weight of the appliance, it must be transported by two people. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance!
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
–puncturing the refrigerant channels in the condenser,
–bending any pipework, or
–scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.

Switching off for longer periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:
switch the appliance off,
switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the mains fuse or remove the screw-out fuse in countries where this is applicable, and
empty the ice cube drawer.
If you are not using the appliance (or refrigerator section if it has been switched off separately) for a long time,
empty the water tank, then clean and dry it,
clean the appliance/refrigerator section, and
leave the appliance doors/refrigerator door slightly ajar to avoid the build-up of odours.
If, during a long absence, the appliance/refrigerator section is switched off but not cleaned out and the doors are left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance. Mould may also build up in the water tank if residual water is left in it. Danger of infection!
25
The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will rise:
–the more often the 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 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 refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C in the refrigerator section.
. . . in the freezer section
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the micro-organisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or fully defrosted food must not be refrozen. Food may be refrozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.
26
The correct temperature
Temperature display |
Setting the temperature |
In normal operation the temperature display shows the current mean refrigerator section temperature and the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.
Dashes are displayed if the temperature in the freezer section is not within the displayable range.
Depending on the room temperature and the temperature setting, it can take several hours until the selected temperature is reached and displayed steadily.
However, if the temperature in the freezer section remains above
-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.
The temperatures for the refrigerator section and the freezer section are set separately.
Select the refrigerator or the freezer section.
Use both sensors underneath the display to set the temperature.
By touching
–the down arrow, the temperature decreases
–the up arrow, the temperature increases
While the temperature is being set, the temperature value will flash.
27
The correct temperature
When you tap the sensors, you will see the following changes in the display:
–When first tapped: The last temperature selected flashes.
–Each subsequent touch of a sensor: The temperature is adjusted in 1 °C steps.
–Leaving a finger on the sensor: The temperature changes continuously.
Approximately 5 seconds after you release the sensor, the actual temperature in the appliance will be displayed.
or
Touch OK to confirm your selection.
When 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 reach the temperature.
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 1 °C to 9 °C
–in the freezer section from -15° C to -26° C.
28
Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperCool
The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).
Switching on SuperCool
SuperCool is particularly recommended for the fast chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Touch the sensor for the refrigerator section.
The refrigerator section symbol will light up yellow.
Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.
The temperature in the refrigerator section now begins to fall, with maximum cooling performance.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function switches off automatically after approx. 12 hours. The refrigerator section then operates with normal cooling performance.
To save energy, the SuperCool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Touch the sensor for the refrigerator section.
The refrigerator section symbol will light up yellow.
Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it is no longer highlighted in yellow.
The appliance will continue to operate at normal power.
29
Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze
SuperFreeze
Switch the SuperFreeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer.
This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.
Exceptions:
–When putting in food that is already frozen.
–When freezing up to 2 kg fresh food daily.
Switching on SuperFreeze
When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 6 hours beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food, the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand.
Touch the sensor for the freezer section.
The freezer section symbol will light up yellow.
Touch the SuperFreeze sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.
