Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU directives.

This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flammable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 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 refrigerant can damage the eyes.

In the event of damage:

-Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.

-Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity supply.

-Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes.

-Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

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

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 electrical connection cable supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele spare parts are used.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

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 utility room).

This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

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

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

- the mains fuses are switched off, or

8

Warning and Safety instructions

-the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or

-the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.

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

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

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty mains water connection.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.

Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

This refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department. This refrigeration appliance contains several light sources with at least energy efficiency class G.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A lower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable to maintain the required temperature.

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.

If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the door, 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 explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.

Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.

Danger of injury. 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.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Danger of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.

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 re-frozen after it has been cooked.

Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instructions given on food to avoid the 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.

Stainless steel appliances

Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface.

The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause scratching.

Accessories and spare parts

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your refrigeration appliance.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Throw away the first 3 batches of ice to rinse the ice cube maker

and the water pipes. Do this:

-before using for the first time

-if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time

-regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month) to remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the water supply)

-before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance.

Steam could reach 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 and ice,

-separate frozen food or remove ice trays.

Do not 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 could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Transport

Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.

Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

Disposal of your old appliance

If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

-puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,

-bending any pipework, or

-scratching the surface coating.

13

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

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 your 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 general waste.

Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the appliance prior to disposal.

Take care not to damage your refrigeration appliance’s pipework before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.

This is to ensure that coolant in the cooling circuit and oil in the compressor is contained, and will not leak into the environment.

Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal. For further information, see “Warning and Safety instructions” in these operating and installation instructions.

Switching on and off

Switching off for longer peri-

ods 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 risk of mould forming 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:

Switch the refrigeration appliance off.

Switch the appliance off at the wall socket and pull the plug out of the socket, or disconnect the fuse.

Empty the ice cube drawer.

Risk of damage to the ice cube maker.

If the water inlet is blocked while the ice cube maker is still in use, the water inlet pipe can freeze up.

Turn the ice cube maker off if the water inlet is turned off (e.g. while on holiday).

Close the stopcock for the water inlet.

Clean the refrigeration appliance and leave the door ajar to air the appliance and avoid odours building up inside.

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.

27

The optimum temperature and air quality

Wine keeps on maturing depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time for which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality.

The wine conditioning unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odour free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine.

It also guarantees a vibration-free environment (in contrast to a refrigerator) so that the maturing process is not disturbed.

The optimum temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature between 6 and 18 °C. If you are storing white and red wines together, select a temperature between 12 and 14 °C. This is suitable for both white and red wines. Red wine should be taken out of the wine conditioning unit and opened at least two hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma.

At too high a temperature (over 22 °C) wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below 5 °C).

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.

Type of wine	Recommended
	drinking
	temperature*
Light, fruity reds:	+14	°C to +16 °C
Full-bodied reds:	+18	°C
Rosé wines:	+8 °C to +10 °C
Delicate, aromatic	+8 °C to +12 °C
whites:
Full-bodied or	+12	°C to +14 °C
sweet whites:
Champagne,	+6 °C to +10 °C
sparkling white
wines, Prosecco:

* Store the wine 1 or 2 °C cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass.

Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow the wine to breathe and develop its aroma.

The optimum temperature and air quality

Setting the temperature

The temperatures for the wine conditioning zones and for the freezer section can be set independently of one another.

Touch the temperature display for the section you want to change.

The previously set temperature will appear.

12°C

OK

Wine conditioning zone display

-18°C

OK

Freezer section display

Use the and arrows to set the temperature higher or lower.

Touch OK immediately after setting the temperature to confirm your entry.

Or wait approximately 8 seconds after the last touch of a sensor. The temperature will then be automatically adopted.

Tip: The newly set temperature can also be confirmed and adopted by closing the appliance door.

The temperature display will then change to the current temperature in the wine conditioning unit.

Temperature range

-The temperature in the wine conditioning zones can be adjusted from 5 °C to 20 °C.

-The temperature in the freezer section can be adjusted from -16 °C to -26 °C.

Tip: 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 time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.

The optimum temperature and air quality

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the current temperature in the middle of the wine conditioning zone, and the current temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.

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.

Air quality and humidity

In most refrigerators the humidity is too low for wine and therefore a refrigerator is not suitable for wine storage. High humidity levels are necessary when storing wine to moisten corks from the outside. When the humidity is too low the corks dry out and the bottle is no longer tightly sealed. For this reason wine bottles should always be stored horizontally to ensure that corks are also kept moist from the inside. If air gets into the bottle, this will have a negative impact on the wine!

Danger of damage from excess amounts of moisture

An increase in humidity will lead to condensation on the interior walls. Condensate can cause damage such as corrosion to the wine unit.

Do not introduce additional moisture to air in the cabinet, e.g. by placing a dish of water in the wine unit.
