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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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
– call Miele.
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.
10
3
of room space is required. The
Warning and Safety instructions
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. 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.
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).
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 other work by unqualified persons could be
~
dangerous. 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.
12
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 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, 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
~
in the appliance and built-in structure must not be covered or
blocked in any way.
This would also increase the energy consumption and could cause
damage to the appliance.
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!
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
~
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Warning and Safety instructions
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 or other means to remove frost
~
and ice, or accelerate the defrosting process.
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.
Transporting the appliance
To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and
~
in its packaging.
Due to the size and weight of the appliance, the appliance must
~
be transported by two people. Danger of injury and damage to the
appliance!
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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 damage the eyes.
