Alarm

The appliance is equipped with an
alarm system, to ensure that the
temperature does not rise unnoticed
because of energy loss or an open
door.

The alarm system is always
operational, it does not need to be
turned on.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature becomes too warm,
an alarm sounds, the "alarm" indicator
turns red and flashes. At the same time
the affected zone flashes in the display.

If you use the Home Security
System, a temperature alarm will
also trigger your security alarm.
Once the temperature alarm is
turned off, the security alarm will
also shut off.

The alarm will sound and the display
will flash if:

Turning the temperature alarm Off

To turn the alarm off early, press

^

the "alarm" sensor button.
The alarm signal turns off. The "alarm"
indicator remains red and the
corresponding appliance zone
continues to flash until the alarm
condition is corrected.

Door alarm

If the appliance door is left open for
over 5 minutes, an alarm signal will
sound and the "alarm" indicator will light
up.

Once the door is shut again the alarm
will stop and the 'alarm' indicator will go
out.

Turning the door alarm Off

–

too much warm air flows into the
appliance, for example when bottles
are being loaded, re-arranged, or
unloaded.

–

a large number of bottles are being
stored for the first time.

–

the power fails.

As soon as the alarm condition is
corrected, the alarm signal turns off
and the affected zone stops flashing in
the display. The "alarm" indicator goes
out.

^

To turn the alarm off early, press
the "alarm" sensor button. The "alarm"
indicator and signal will turn off.

Optimum temperature and air quality

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

The wine storage unit provides a
constant temperature, increased
humidity and an odor-free environment,
creating the best possible storage
conditions for your wine.

Temperature

Wine can be stored at temperatures
between 41°F and 64°F (5 - 18°C). If
you would like to store red and white
wines together, choose a temperature
between 50°F and 54°F (10 - 12 °C).
Most white wines are palatable at this
temperature. It is best to take red wine
out of the appliance about 2 hours
before drinking. Open the wine to allow
it to breathe and to develop its aroma.
After 2 hours, red wine will be at the
correct temperature for drinking.

Storage temperatures above 72°F
(22°C) will cause wines to mature too
quickly. By contrast, wine should not be
stored below 41°F (5°C), since it will not
mature fully at this low temperature.

Setting the temperature

The factory (default) settings for the
temperature zones are as follows:

The upper temperature zone is set for
optimal red-wine storage:
Red temper 61°F (16°C)

The middle temperature zone is set for
optimal white-wine storage:
White temper 50°F (10°C)

The lower temperature zone is intended
for wine storage in general.
Wine storage 52°F (11°C)

You can change the "purpose" of the
zones as you wish.
For example, you can store white wine
in the upper temperature zone, as long
as you adjust the temperature
accordingly:

^

Tap the sensor button for the desired
temperature zone, so that it turns
yellow.

Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. Therefore, it is important to
maintain a constant temperature.

^

Select the preferred temperature
setting so that the sensor button turns
yellow.

The setting "white temper" is not
available in the lower temperature
zone.

15

Optimum temperature and air quality

Temperatures can be independently
set in all three zones.

The unit comes factory pre-set for white
wine, red wine, and wine storage.

The temperatures can be changed as
desired.

Select the temperature zone you

^

would like to change the temperature
in.

Use the X and Y buttons next to the
temperature display to set the
temperature warmer or colder.

– The temperature will change in 1°

increments.

– Hold the button down to change the

value continuously.

Once you have adjusted the
temperature, check the temperature
after a few hours. 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, it
should be adjusted again.

Temperature ranges

upper temperature zone

–

3°C to 18°C or
37°F to 64°F.

middle temperature zone

–

3°C to 18°C or
37°F to 64°F.

– lower temperature zone

8°C to 18°C or
46°C to 64°F.

–

When the lowest or highest
temperature is reached the
corresponding arrow will no longer
appear in the display.

The factory-suggested temperature
for the selected zone appears in
yellow.

16

Optimum temperature and air quality

Insulation panels for thermal
separation

The unit has two fixed insulation panels,
to divide the interior into the three
different temperature zones. This
allows you to store three different types
of wine, such as red wine, white wine
and champagne.

The correct serving temperature is
crucial for the taste and therefore your
enjoyment of the wine.

The following temperatures are
recommended for the different types of
wine:

Red wine: 57°F to 64°F

(14 °C to 18°C)

Rosé: 50°F to 54°F

(10 °C to 12 °C)

White wine: 46°F to 54°F

(8 °C to 12 °C)

Sparkling wine: 45°F to 48°F

(7 °C to 9 °C)

Temperature display

The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
required temperature.

The temperature display will flash if
the temperature in one of the zones is
too high or too cold.

Tap the X and Y sensor buttons to
raise/lower the temperature 1°, or hold
them down to move through the
temperature range more quickly.

Champagne: 41°F to 45°F

When you are in the Custom settings
mode the door alarm is turned off
automatically. Once the door is
closed it is reactivated.

Optimum temperature and air quality

Humidity

In a conventional refrigerator, the
humidity levels are too low for storing
wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %)
are very important for the storage of
wine, so that the corks remain moist.
Under low humidity, the corks dry out
from the outside and can no longer seal
the bottles properly. This is why wine
bottles should always be stored lying
down, so that the wine can keep the
corks moistened from within. If air
enters the bottle, a wine will inevitably
spoil.

Tip: Wine bottles should stand upright
for at least two hours before serving, or,
better still whole day long, to enable
sediment to settle to the bottom of the
bottle.

Setting the humidity level

The unit comes factory pre-set to high
humidity.

If you would like to use the wine unit for
long-term storage, it is recommended
that you select the higher humidity. The
interior climate will then correspond
with the conditions in a wine cellar.

Humidity is raised or lowered for all
temperature zones simultaneously.

^ Touch the access button "p"soit

turns yellow.

^ Tap the sensor button for any

temperature zone so it turns yellow.

^

Note the position of the X button, but
do not touch.

^

Touch the access button "p" again so
it turns white.

Only the access button "p" is visible.

^

Place one finger on the position of
the X button and hold (the X button
will not be visible).

19

Optimum temperature and air quality

While holding down the X button,

^

press the access button "p" once.
Keep holding the X button down until
the following appears in the display
(approx. 5 seconds).

Tap the X button until 0 appears in

^

the display.

Touch the access button "p"to

^

confirm.

^ By touching the X button you can

either increase or decrease the
humidity inside the unit.

o0: lower humidity
o1: higher humidity
o –: return to menu.

^ Touch the access button "p"to

confirm the setting.

^ Tap the X button until a ; appears in

the display.

If you have selected a higher
humidity setting, the fans will cut in.
This is to ensure that the humidity is
uniformly distributed throughout the
interior.
Whenever the unit door is opened,
the fans will automatically switch off
temporarily.

Air filtering with an active
charcoal filter

External air passes through the filter
before entering the unit.
The active charcoal filter ensures that
only clean, odor-free air enters the unit,
creating additional protection against
odor contamination.

The filter will need to be changed
periodically, or when odors are
present in the unit. See "Cleaning
and Care - Active charcoal filter" for
more information.

^

Touch the access button "p".

You have left the Custom settings
mode.

When you are in the Custom settings
mode the door alarm is turned off
automatically. Once the door is closed
it is reactivated.

20

Storing wine

Storage tips

Always unpack bottles – do not store

–

wine in crates or boxes.

Always lay bottles on their side for

–

storage. This keeps the corks moist
from the inside, preventing air from
entering.

Store similar wine varieties beside

–

each other on the same shelf, to
avoid restacking and the need to
disturbed other bottles.

Before serving, rosé and red wine

–

bottles should spend at least two
hours upright and open, to reach
optimal drinking temperature.
Sparkling wine and champagnes
should be chilled briefly in the
refrigerator before serving.

– Remember that wine should always

be cooled to slightly lower than the
ideal serving temperature, as the
temperature increases by 1° to 2° as
soon as it is poured into a glass.

Wooden racks

For convenient removal and addition of
bottles, the wooden racks can be
pulled out on rails.

The wooden racks can also be
completely removed.

^ Pull out the empty wooden rack

(along with the rails) as far as the
stop, then lift it up and out.

^ To replace the racks, set them on the

extended rails so that they click into
place.

Be sure that the ventilation slits at
the rear of the unit are not blocked.
They are essential for the unit to
operate properly.

21

Storing wine

Bottle display rack

The display rack, allows you to display
selected bottles so they can be seen
even with the door closed.

^ Lay the wine bottles in the display

rack, so that they touch the wooden
guide-rail a.

^ To remove the display rack pull it up

and out, then attach it to the rear
position on the wooden rack b.
The bottles can now be stored on the
wooden rack in the usual manner.

The display rack can only be attached
to wooden racks with wide cross-ties. In
the upper temperature zone, these are
found in the lower position. In the lower
temperature zones, they are found in
both the upper and lower position.

It is recommended that the wooden
racks always be left in the pre-set
positions. This makes optimal use of
the interior space.

Never stack bottles on the wooden
racks. Only the bottom-most level in
each temperature zone can support
a stack of bottles (remove the
wooden rack).

Maximum capacity

The unit can hold approx. 102 bottles
(0.75 l).

Additional display racks are
available from Miele.

22

Storing wine

Display lighting

The display lighting can be turned on if
you wish the bottles to be lit up even
when the door is closed.

When the door is closed, the interior is
dark, and when the door is opened the
interior lighting comes on.

If the door is closed before the set
time is completed, the lighting
duration starts over again from the
beginning.

23

Defrosting

During normal operation, condensate
and frost can form on the rear wall of
the refrigerator and drawers.
You do not need to remove this
build-up, it will defrost and evaporate
automatically with the heat generated
by the appliance.

24

To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply by shutting
off the power main, tripping the
circuit breaker or unplugging the
power cord before maintenance.

Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids,
chlorides or chemical solvents.
Non-abrasive cleaning agents are
also unsuitable, as they can cause
matte areas to appear.

Avoid getting water on the solid
wood facing or the shelves.

Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned using a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner (available
from Miele).

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurized steam
could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.

Cleaning and care

To better maintain your appliance
avoid the following:

cleaners containing soda, ammonia,

–

thinners, or chlorides

solvent based cleaning agents

–

stainless steel cleaners

–

cleaners containing descaling

–

agents or lime removers,

abrasive cleaners,

–

dishwasher soap (powder),

–

caustic (oven) cleaners,

–

– scouring pads, steel wool, hard

brushes,

– glass cleaners,

– metal scrapers,

– eraser sponges,

– steam cleaning products.

Glass cleaners may be used to
clean the exterior. However do not
allow them to sit or "puddle", this can
cause damage to the surface.

Remove the cleaner promptly.

Do not allow water to get into the
electronic unit or lights.

The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.

25

Cleaning and care

The stainless steel doors have a
special coating that is soil-resistant.
Do not wipe these with a stainless
steel conditioner, it will leave visible
streaks.

Use a stainsteel conditioner to clean
and maintain the stainless steel
surfaces of the appliance. It
contains material-friendly
substances and - unlike stainless
steel cleaning agents - no polishing
