Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The
refrigeration appliance complies with all current local and national safety requirements.
This refrigeration 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 has a lower greenhouse effect than some other refrigerants. The use of this coolant, however, leads 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. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance. When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Leaking refrigerant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:
– avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark – disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
– call Miele.
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room should be in which it is installed. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is a 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 a data plate inside the appliance.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
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 this 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.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician in order to avoid a hazard.
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 or into the mains
connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or laundry).
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.
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:

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.

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal operation.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it
penetrates the airways.
10

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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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!

Disposing of your old appliance

Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact Miele. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. This is to ensure that refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor are contained and will not leak out into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See “Warning and Safety instructions” for more information.

When the appliance is switched back on again, Sabbath mode is deactivated.
19
Switching on and off

Switching 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 risk of mould forming 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, observe the following:
Switch the appliance off.Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or switch off the mains circuit breaker.
Clean the appliance and leave the
door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.
20

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. Temperature influences the growth rate of these microorganisms. 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 is stored in it.
– The warmer the food is which is
being put into it.
– The higher the ambient temperature
of the refrigeration appliance. The appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use it in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

... in the refrigerator section

We recommend a temperature of 4°C in the refrigerator section.
21
The correct temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the current mean refrigerator temperature.
Depending on the room temperature and the temperature setting, it can take several hours until the selected temperature is reached and displayed steadily.

Setting the temperature

Use the two sensors underneath the
display to set the temperature.
By touching the sensor
– the temperature decreases,
Approximately 5 seconds after the last time a sensor has been touched, the display automatically reverts to showing the current temperature inside the refrigerator.
Or
Touch the OK sensor 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. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted between 1°C and 9°C.
– the temperature increases.
While the temperature is being set, the temperature value will flash.
When you tap the sensors, the following information appears in the display:
– When first tapped: The last preset
temperature flashes.
– Each subsequent touch of the
sensor: The temperature is adjusted in 1°C steps.
– Leaving the finger on the sensor
changes the temperature continuously.
22

Using SuperCool and DynaCool

SuperCool

The Super cool 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 rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drinks.
Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it
is highlighted in yellow.
The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.

Switching off SuperCool

The SuperCool function switches off automatically after approx. 12 hours. The appliance will then run at normal power again.
To save energy, you can manually switch off the SuperCool function once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it
is no longer highlighted in yellow.
The appliance will operate at normal power again.
23
Using SuperCool and DynaCool

DynaCool

When the dynamic cooling function (DynaCool) is not switched on, the natural circulation of air will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator as the cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section. Make use of the different temperature zones when placing food in the refrigerator (see “Using the refrigerator efficiently”). However, if you are placing a large amount of food in the refrigerator (e.g. for a party), it is a good idea to switch on DynaCool. This will distribute the temperature in the appliance to all areas more evenly so that all the food is chilled to about the same degree. The temperature can be set as usual with the temperature control.
DynaCool should also be switched on when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high, i.e. above 30°C, and
– when humidity levels are high (e.g. in
summer).

Switching on DynaCool

Touch the DynaCool sensor so that it
is highlighted in yellow.
The fan is now ready for operation: When the compressor switches on, the fan will also switch on automatically.

Switching off DynaCool

As the energy consumption is increased when DynaCool is activated, it should be switched off under normal conditions.
Touch the DynaCool sensor so that it
is no longer highlighted in yellow.
To save energy, the fan switches off automatically when the door is open.
24

Door alarm

The appliance is fitted with a warning system to avoid increased energy consumption and food becoming warm if the door is left open.
An alarm will sound if the door is left open for too long. The alarm symbol will light up.
The time until the door alarm is triggered depends on the selected setting and can be either 2minutes (factory default) or 4minutes. The door alarm can also be switched off (see “Further settings - Audible tones”).
As soon as the door is closed, the audible tone will stop and the alarm symbol will disappear from the display.
If no audible tone sounds even though a door alarm is available, then the audible tone has been switched off in settings mode (see “Further settings ­Audible tones”).

Switching the door alarm off early

If the noise of the alarm disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish.
Touch the alarm off sensor.
The audible tone stops. The alarm symbol remains illuminated until the door is closed.
25

Further settings

Certain settings on the appliance can only be selected in settings mode.
When in settings mode, the door alarm and other fault messages are automatically deactivated although the alarm symbol appears in the display.

Settings options

Switching the safety lock on/off
Switching audible tones on/off
Changing the display brightness
