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.

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 every8gofcoolant at least 1 m
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.

3

of room space is required. The

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.

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.

...intherefrigerator section

We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.

...inthefreezer 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

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.

Setting the temperature

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
