Technical safety

The refrigerant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies with statutory safety requirements.

This appliance contains the refrigerant Isobutane (R600a), a natural 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 minutes, and

–contact Miele Technical Service.

IMPORTANT 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 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 grounded. 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 electricity supply.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in order to protect the user from harm.

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.

If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the machine in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g., garages, laundry rooms).

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.

The machine must be disconnected from the power supply during installation, maintenance, and repair work, and installation work on the fresh water connection. The machine is only completely isolated from the power supply when:

–the fuse has been tripped, or

–the circuit breaker has been tripped, or

–the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on the cord when disconnecting it from the power supply.

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs, or a faulty fresh water connection can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs, installation work on the fresh water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only ever be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

The ice cube maker must only be connected to a cold water line.

Any manufacturer's warranty will be void if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Defective components should only be replaced by Miele original parts. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

IMPORTANT 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, 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.

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapors to ignite.

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 section. The cans or bottles 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 temperature at which it is stored. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instructions.

Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals. They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short

circuit.

Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to

–remove frost or ice,

–separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

Switching on and off

Turning off for longer periods

of time

If, during a long absence, the appliance 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. while on vacation:

switch the appliance off,

unplug the power cord or trip the circuit breaker,

empty the ice cube drawer,

close the shut-off valve in the water supply line,

clean the appliance and

leave the door(s) ajar to air the appliance and avoid odors building up inside the appliance.

It is also advisable to carry out the last two instructions if you are switching the refrigerator section off for a longer period of time.

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 refrigerator section

and in the PerfectFresh Pro

zone

We recommend a temperature of 39°F (4 °C) in the refrigerator section.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 32 to 37 °F (0 to 3 °C).

Automatic cold air circulation (DynaCool)

The fan automatically turns on when the cooling system for the refrigerator section turns on. It distributes the temperature in the refrigerator section to all areas evenly so that all the food inside 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.

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/freezer section

The temperatures for the refrigerator and freezer sections are set separately.

Select the refrigerator or the freezer section.

Use the two sensors below the display to set the temperature.

When you touch the sensor

– the temperature drops

– the temperature increases

The temperature value flashes while the temperature is being set.

The correct temperature

The following information appears on the display when the sensors are touched:

–With the first touch: The last temperature set flashes.

–Each subsequent touch of the sensor: The temperature changes in 1° increments.

–Keeping your finger on the sensor changes the temperature continuously.

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

Touch the OK button to confirm your selection.

If 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 give an accurate reading.

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

Temperature range

The temperature can be selected within the following ranges:

–from 37 °F (3 °C) to 49 °F (9 °C) in the refrigerator section.

–from 7 °F (-14 °C) to -15 °F (-26 °C) in the freezer section.

The correct temperature

Adjusting the temperature in

the PerfectFresh Pro zone

In the PerfectFresh Pro zone, the temperature is kept at between 32°F and 37°F (0 °C and 3 °C). However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, for example for storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly.

The preset temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro zone is 5. If a setting of between 1 and 4 is selected, the temperature may fall below zero and food may freeze. In this case, select a higher setting.

You can now adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro zone by touching the or button. You can choose from settings 1 to 9:

1: lowest temperature;

9: highest temperature.

Touch the OK button to confirm your selection.

The selected setting will be adopted and the symbol will flash.

Touch the settings button.

All symbols available for selection will appear on the display and the

symbol will flash.

Touch the settings button to exit settings mode.

If you do not, the appliance will exit settings mode automatically after approximately one minute.
