Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for

leaks.

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 open flames and anything that creates a spark,

–

disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply,

–

air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

–

contact Miele Technical Service.

IMPORTANT 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 room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

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.

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

If the power cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in order to protect the user from harm.

Do not connect the appliance to the

electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance in areas

where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g. garages, laundry rooms, etc.). Moisture can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

This appliance is not to be used in

non-stationary locations, such as ships.

Do not use a damaged appliance. It

could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.

To ensure safe operation, use the

appliance only when it is installed.

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 storage unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odor-free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine.

It also guarantees a vibration-free environment so that the maturing process is not disturbed.

Type of wine Recommended

drinking temperature

Light, fruity red wines:

Full-bodied red wines:

Rosé wines: +46°F to 50°F

Delicate, aromatic white wines:

+57°F to 61°F (14°C to +16°C)

+64°F (18°C)

(8°C to +10°C)

+46°F to 54°F (8°C to +12°C)

Temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature between 43°F and 64°F (6°C and 18°C). If you are storing white and red wines together, select a temperature between 54°F and 57°F (12°C and 14°C). This is suitable for both red and white wines.

At too high a temperature (over 72°F (22°C)), wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below 41°F (5°C)).

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

Full-bodied or sweet white wines:

Champagne, sparkling white wines:

Tip: Store the wine 3°F to 5°F (1°C or 2°C) degrees cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass.

A full-bodied red should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma.

+46°F to 57°F (12°C to +14°C)

+43°F to 50°F (6°C to +10°C)

Temperature and air quality

Safety device in case of low ambient temperatures

The appliance is equipped with a safety thermostat to protect your wine against a sharp drop in temperature. If the external temperature should drop below this level, a heater element turns on automatically to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible. If the ambient temperature continues to fall, the appliance turns itself off automatically.

Isolator panels for thermal separation

The appliance has a fixed isolator plate which divides the cabinet into two different zones. This enables you to store different types of wine at the same time, e. g., red wine and champagne. The isolation strips on the inside of the glass door prevent an exchange of heat between the individual zones.

Setting the temperature

The temperature can be set in both zones independently of each other.

Tap the sensor button for the zone for

which you wish to change the temperature so that it is highlighted in yellow.

The current temperature for the selected zone appears in the display.

Set the temperature using the two

buttons underneath the display.

By touching the button:

– the temperature will get colder,

– the temperature will get warmer.

Tap the OK button to confirm your selection.

Wait approximately 5 seconds after the last press of the button.

Temperature and air quality

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

The following information shows in the display when the buttons are tapped:

When first touched:

–

The last temperature selected flashes.

Each subsequent touch of the

–

button: The temperature value adjusts in 1° steps.

Keeping your finger on the button:

–

The temperature changes continuously.

Approximately 5 seconds after the last time a sensor button has been touched, the current temperature inside the appliance is automatically shown.

When the temperature is altered, there is a short delay until the temperature selected is set.

Possible setting values for the temperature

In both zones, it is possible to set temperatures between 41°F and 68°F (5°C and 20°C).

Temperature display

In normal operation, the temperature display shows the actual temperature in the zone.

If the temperature in one of the zones is not within the range that the appliance is able to display, dashes will light up in the temperature display.

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.

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

Temperature and air quality

Air quality and humidity

A conventional refrigerator with its low humidity level is not the best place to store wine. It is very important to store wine in an atmosphere with a high humidity level so that the corks remain moist on the outside. Low humidity causes corks to dry out from the outside, and so do not seal the bottles as tightly. Wine should be stored lying down to keep the corks moist from the inside too. Air entering the bottle will inevitably spoil the wine.

Do not introduce additional moisture into the air, e.g., by placing a bowl of water in the appliance, as this will lead to condensation on the interior walls, which can cause corrosion damage.

DynaCool (constant humidity) m

DynaCool raises the relative humidity inside the appliance. It also distributes the humidity and the temperature evenly around the interior so that you can store all your wine under the same excellent conditions. This will create a stable climate in the cabinet which imitates that of a wine cellar.

Turning on DynaCool

If you would like to use the wine storage unit to store wine long term, we recommend that you keep the DynaCool function turned on.

^ Tap the button for constant humidity

until it lights up yellow.

Even if DynaCool has not been turned on, the fans in the appliance will come on automatically when the cooling system turns on to ensure your wine is kept in the optimum climate.

The fans automatically turn off when the door is open.

Temperature and air quality

Turning off DynaCool

The appliance uses slightly more energy and is a little noisier when the DynaCool function is turned on. You can turn it off occasionally if desired.

Tap the button for constant humidity

until it no longer lights up yellow.

Air filtering with the active charcoal filter

The active charcoal filter achieves optimum air quality by filtering the incoming air.

Fresh air from the outside enters the appliance via the active charcoal filter. The DynaCool system then distributes the air evenly throughout the cabinet via the fans. Filtering the incoming air through the active charcoal filter ensures that all the air entering the appliance is fresh and free from dust and smells. This in turn ensures your wine does not absorb any unwanted odors.

Replace the active charcoal filter when the  indicator appears in the display (see "Active charcoal filter").

Temperature and door alarm

The appliance is equipped with an alarm system so that the temperature in both temperature zones cannot rise or fall unnoticed, thus possibly damaging the wine.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature in one of the wine conditioning zones rises or falls by a certain amount, the sensor button for that zone will start flashing in the control panel and the alarm symbol ; will start to flash in the display. An acoustic alarm will also sound.

The audio and visual signals are triggered, for example:

– when the appliance is turned on and

the temperature in a temperature zone deviates greatly from the set temperature

– when too much warm ambient air

enters the cabinet when bottles are being rearranged or taken out

–

when a large number of bottles are stored for the first time

–

in the event of a power failure

Turning off the acoustic alarm

If the acoustic alarm bothers you, it can be silenced.

Tap the sensor button to turn off the

temperature alarm.

The acoustic alarm will stop sounding. The relevant wine conditioning zone and the alarm symbol ; will continue to flash in the display until the reason for the alarm has been resolved.

Safety device in case of low ambient temperatures

As soon as the reason for the alarm has been resolved, the acoustic alarm will stop and the alarm symbol ; will go out. The sensor button for the relevant zone will light up constantly again.

Temperature and door alarm

Door alarm

An acoustic alarm will sound if the door has been left open for longer than 2 minutes. The two sensor buttons of the wine conditioning zones flash on the control panel. The alarm symbol ; lights up in the display.

The acoustic alarm will stop when you close the door. Both wine conditioning zone sensor buttons and the alarm symbol ; will go out.

Turning the door alarm off early

If the acoustic alarm bothers you, it can be silenced.

^ Tap the sensor button to turn off the

door alarm.

The acoustic alarm will stop. Both wine conditioning zone sensor buttons will flash and the alarm symbol ; will light up until you close the door.

If the audible tone does not sound in the event of a door alarm, then the audible tone has been turned off in settings mode (see "Selecting additional settings - Audible tones").

Feature lighting

The interior lighting can be set to remain on when the door is closed so your wines can be on display at all times.

Each zone has its own light so both zones are lit up.

Thanks to the use of LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light.

Turning the feature lighting on and off.

^ Tap the On/Off sensor button for the

feature lighting so that it is highlighted in yellow.

The interior lighting is now turned on in both zones, even when the door is closed.
