IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory and regulatory requirements..
This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is combustible, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not con­tribute to 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 cooling circuit. 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. Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of damage:
- Avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.
- Contact Miele Customer Service.
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration 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 a combustible gas/ air mixture building up. For every 11g of coolant, at least 1m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the elec­trical power supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the circuit breaker has been tripped, or
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- the screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been re­moved or
- the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on the cord when removing it from the outlet.
Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Any manufacturer's warranty will be void if the appliance is not re-
paired 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.

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.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store any explosive materials or
products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the appliance. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.,
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. Risk of sparking and explosion.
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.

Switching on and off

Before first use

Packaging material

Remove all packaging material from
the inside of the appliance.

Protective film

The stainless steel trim on the interior shelves and door shelves in the appli­ance has a layer of protective film to prevent scratching in transit.
Remove this protective film once the
appliance has been installed.

Cleaning the refrigerator

Please refer to the relevant instruc­tions in “Cleaning and care”.
Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories.

Operating the appliance

A light touch on the sensors is all that is required to operate this appliance.
A tone will sound each time a sensor is touched. You can deactivate this if you wish (see “Selecting additional settings
- Audible signals”).

Switching on the appliance

Once the appliance is connected to the electricity supply, the power supply symbol will soon appear on the dis­play.
Touch the On/Off button. The power connection symbol goes
out and the temperature appears in the display.
The appliance starts cooling.
When the door is opened, the interior lighting comes on and the LED lighting on the shelves becomes brighter until it reaches its maximum brightness.
To enable the temperature to get suf­ficiently cold inside the appliance, al­low the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it.
21
Switching on and off

Switching off the appliance

Touch the On/Off sensor.
If this does not work, the safety lock is activated.
The temperature shown on the display will go out and the power connection symbol appears.
The interior lighting goes out and cool­ing is switched off.
Switching off for longer peri­ods of time
If, during a long absence, the refrig­eration 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 refrigera­tion appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not go­ing to be used for a longer period of time, observe the following:
Turn the appliance off.Unplug the appliance or trip the cir-
cuit breaker.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appli­ance and avoid odors building up in­side.
22

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 bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The temperature in the appliance will rise:
- the more often the appliance door is opened and the longer it is kept open
- the more food that is stored in it
- the warmer the food is that is being put into it
- the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the refrigeration appli­ance is. 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 zone

We recommend a temperature of 39°F (4°C) in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically, and is maintained at 32°F to 37°F (0°C 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.
23
The correct temperature

Temperature display

In normal operation, the temperature display shows the current average refrigerator temperature.
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.

Setting the temperature

Use the two sensor buttons below
the display to set the temperature.
When you touch the sensor button
- The temperature decreases.
Approximately 5seconds after the last time a sensor button was touched, the actual temperature inside the appliance will automatically be displayed.
Or
Touch the OK button to confirm the
selection.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approximately 6hours if the appliance is not very full and for ap­proximately 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 in the refrigerator sec­tion can be set between 37°F (3°C) and 49°F (9°C).
- The temperature increases.
The temperature value flashes while the temperature is being set.
The following changes will be seen on the display when the sensor buttons are touched:
- With the first touch: The last temper- ature set flashes.
- Each subsequent touch: The temper­ature changes in 1° increments.
- Keeping your finger on the sensor button: The temperature changes continuously.
24
Adjusting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone
In the PerfectFresh zone, the tempera­ture is automatically maintained be­tween32°F (0°C) and37°F (3°C). How­ever, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g., when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly.
The default setting for the tempera­ture in the PerfectFresh zone is5. Under certain circumstances, a set­ting from1 to4 can cause negative temperatures to be reached. This can cause food to freeze.
Touch the settings button.
All symbols available for selection will appear on the display and the sym­bol will flash.
Touch the buttons for setting the tem-
perature ( or ) repeatedly until the symbol flashes on the display.
The correct temperature
You can now adjust the temperature
in the PerfectFresh 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 the
selection.
The selected setting is applied; the symbol flashes.
Touch the settings button to exit Set-
tings mode. If you do not do this, the appliance electronics will exit Settings mode automatically after approximately one minute.
The newly set temperature for the Per­fectFresh zone will gradually be reached.

selection.
The most recently selected setting flashes and the symbol lights up in the display.
25

Using Automatic SuperCool

Automatic SuperCool function

The Automatic 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 Automatic SuperCool

Automatic SuperCool is particularly rec­ommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Touch the Automatic SuperCool but-
ton; it will light up yellow.
The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.

Switching off Automatic SuperCool

The Automatic SuperCool function will switch itself off automatically after ap­proximately 12hours. The appliance will then run at normal power again.
To save energy, you can switch the Au­tomatic SuperCool function off yourself once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Touch the Automatic SuperCool but-
ton; the yellow light will go out.
The appliance will then continue run­ning at normal power.
26

Door alarm

The refrigeration appliance is fitted with a warning system to prevent energy be­ing wasted and food becoming warm if the appliance door is left open.
An alarm will sound if the door is left open for too long. The alarm symbol will light up.
The amount of time until the door alarm is triggered depends on the setting se­lected and can be either 2minutes (fac­tory default) or 4minutes. However, the door alarm can also be turned off (see “Selecting additional settings – Audible signals”).
As soon as the door is closed, the alarm stops sounding and the alarm symbol disappears from the display.
If no alarm sounds even though there is a door alarm, the alarm has been turned off in settings mode (see “Se­lecting additional settings – Audible signals”).

Cancelling the door alarm

If the alarm is disturbing you, it can be switched off.
Touch the sensor to turn off the door
alarm.
The alarm will stop. The alarm symbolwill continue to be displayed until the door is closed.
