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
–
contact Miele for advice.
11
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 which complies with local and national safety regulations. 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.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
~
installations (e.g. on a ship).
12
Warning and Safety instructions
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance 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 installation work by unqualified persons could be
~
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work. 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.
13
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 of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance. Installing the appliance 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. It would also increase
the energy consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
Make sure that any oil, or foods containing oil, do 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!
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Use only Miele Original 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 seal, as these will
~
cause the seal 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.
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.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Transporting the appliance
To avoid damaging the appliance, it must be transported upright
~
in its packaging.
The appliance is very heavy and therefore needs to be
~
transported by at least two people. Danger of injury and damage!
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 harm the eyes.

21
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 which is being put in
the refrigerator,
– 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.
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.
...intherefrigerator
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator.
22
The correct temperature
Setting the temperature
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.
When you tap the sensors, you will see
the following changes in the display:
– When first tapped: The last
temperature selected flashes.
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
between 1 °C and 9 °C.
–
Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
The temperature is adjusted in 1
°C steps.
–
Leaving a finger on the sensor: The
temperature changes continuously.
23
SuperCool
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 SuperCool sensor so that it
is highlighted in yellow.
The temperature in the appliance
now begins to fall, with maximum
cooling performance.
