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.

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.

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.

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

Due to the natural air circulation there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator.
Food must not touch the back of the refrigerator section as it may freeze to the back wall.
This appliance has DynaCool, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. When DynaCool is switched on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area is located in the top section of the main storage area and the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and for cheese so that it retains its flavour.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator section is directly above the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of the appliance.
Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry
– sausage products, ready meals
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
– soft cheese and other dairy products
32
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4°C.
Using the refrigerator efficiently

Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C because it is sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance, consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.
Foods which are sensitive to cold include:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, mandarines, grapefruits
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
capsicums, tomatoes, zucchini

Notes on buying food

The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh. Freshness is essential for a long shelf life. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.
Useful tip: Take a cooling bag when shopping, and load food in the appliance as soon as possible.
33
Using the refrigerator efficiently

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the refrigerator section is in packaging or covered properly. This will prevent food smells from affecting other foods, food from drying out, and also cross­contamination of bacteria. This is especially important when storing meat products. By ensuring that the temperature settings are correct and by taking appropriate hygiene measures, you can prolong the storage life of your food considerably.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.

Protein rich food

Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

Adjusting the interior fittings

Adjusting the door shelf/bottle shelf

Only move door/bottle shelves when they are empty.
Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,
then remove it by pulling it forwards.
Replace the shelf at the required
height. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position.

Adjusting the bottle holder

The bottle holder can be moved to the left or right to create more room for drink cartons.

Adjustable shelf / Adjustable shelf with lighting

The LED lighting is located on the stainless steel strip of the shelf. By adjusting the position of the shelves in the refrigerator section, you can change the illumination in this section according to your needs.
If the LED lighting is not working, check if the shelves are positioned correctly on the shelf supports. The shelves have metal discs (contacts) at the front left corner which supply power to the LED lighting. Make sure when inserting the shelves that the contacts click into position in the shelf supports.

Moving the adjustable shelf / adjustable shelf with lighting

The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food.
The bottle holder can be removed completely, e.g. for cleaning:
Lift up the bottle shelf and pull it
towards you to remove it.
Detach the bottle holder from the
back edge of the bottle shelf.
Raise the shelf and pull it forwards
slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.
The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from being dislodged by mistake.
35
Adjusting the interior fittings

Adjusting the bottle rack

The bottle rack can be placed on different levels in the appliance.
Raise the rack and pull it forwards
slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.

Installation advice

Risk of injury and damage!
This appliance must be built in, otherwise it could tip over. To avoid a hazard, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.
Keep the appliance door(s) shut until the appliance has been built in and secured in its housing in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.
Fire risk and danger of damage!
This refrigeration appliance must not be installed underneath a cooktop.

Location

This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your refrigerator please bear in mind that it will use more energy if installed near a heater, cooktop or other appliance that gives off heat. Direct sunlight should also be avoided. The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor will run and the higher the energy consumption will be.
When installing the appliance, please note:
– The mains socket must not be
located directly behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.
– The plug and cable must not touch
the rear of the appliance as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.
– Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly behind this appliance.
57
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
Risk of damage due to high
humidity. In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on external appliance panels, which can cause corrosion.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation.
After installation, make sure that the appliance door(s) close properly, the ventilation gaps are not covered and that the refrigeration appliance has been installed in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

Climate range

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient temperatures) and should not be used outside this range. The climate range of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10 to +32°C
N +16 to +32°C
ST +16 to +38°C
T +16 to +43°C
Operating in a room which is too cold will result in the compressor switching off for too long, causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

Ventilation

58
If the required ventilation gaps
are not adhered to, the compressor will switch on more often and run for longer.
This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature of the compressor. This, in turn, may cause damage to the compressor.
It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps.
Air at the back of the appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see “Building-in dimensions”).
*INSTALLATION*
– Air intake occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the air escapes at the top at the back of the housing unit.
Installation
The air inlet and outlet must not be covered or blocked in any way. They must also be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust.

Top ventilation cross-section

The top ventilation cross-section can be achieved in various ways:
– A ventilation gap of at least 40mm
depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate.
– The ventilation gaps in the plinth,
housing unit and above the appliance must amount to a free airflow of at least 200cm² to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance.
If ventilation grilles are to be inserted into the ventilation gaps, the ventilation gaps must be larger than 200cm². The unobstructed airflow of 200cm² is calculated by adding up the total area of ventilation openings in the grilles.
– Important! The larger the ventilation
gaps, the less energy the appliance will use.

Furniture door

Horizontal and vertical gaps

The thickness and edge radius of the furniture door and the gap that runs around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified depending on the style of kitchen furniture.
It is essential to pay attention to the following:
–Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door and the kitchen unit door above or below, respectively, must be at least 3mm.

– Vertical gap

If the gap between the appliance furniture door and the adjoining housing unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing unit door or wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the thickness and edge radius of the appliance furniture door.

Installation

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single-phase 220– 240V50Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10A.
This appliance must be connected to a suitable switched socket. The electrical installation must be in compliance with current local and national safety regulations.
The socket must not be concealed behind the appliance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly disconnected from the electricity supply in case of an emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole contact gap of at least 3mm. These include isolator switches, fuses and relays.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply using an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source, e.g. solar power. When the appliance is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This could damage the electronics. The appliance must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.
If the mains cable needs to be replaced, this must be done by a qualified and competent electrician.
The mains plug and mains connection cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This could result in a short circuit.
Nor should other appliances be plugged into a socket located directly behind this appliance.
