Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. The wine conditioning unit
complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.
This wine conditioning unit 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 wine conditioning unit that no parts of the cooling system are dam­aged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes. In the event of any damage:
– avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark, – disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply, – ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes, and
– contact the Miele Service Department.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The more coolant there is in a wine conditioning unit, 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 every 11 g of coolant at least 1m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the wine conditioning unit.
To avoid the risk of damage to the wine conditioning unit, 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 wine conditioning unit. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of the wine conditioning unit 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 the wine conditioning unit can only
be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
Do not connect the wine conditioning unit 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, it could cause a short
circuit. Therefore, do not operate this wine conditioning unit in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
8
Warning and Safety instructions
This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not use a damaged wine conditioning unit. It could be danger-
ous. Check the wine conditioning unit for visible signs of damage.
For safety reasons, this wine conditioning unit may only be used
after it has been built in.
The wine conditioning unit must be isolated from the electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
While the wine conditioning unit is under warranty, repairs should
only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Other­wise the warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

Correct use

The wine conditioning unit is designed for use within a certain cli-
mate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your wine conditioning unit 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 wine con­ditioning unit switching off for longer periods so that it cannot main­tain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
If the wine conditioning unit is used for storing food which con-
tains fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as any spillages of oil or fat could cause stress cracks to the plastic and cause it to break or split.
Do not store explosive materials in the wine conditioning unit or
any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and explosion.
Do not operate any electrical equipment inside the wine condition-
ing unit. Danger of sparking and explosion.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

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 this wine condi-
tioning unit. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the wine conditioning unit. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to
– remove frost and ice, – remove labels, stickers etc.
11
Warning and Safety instructions

Transporting the appliance

Always transport the wine conditioning unit in an upright position
and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage. The wine conditioning unit is very
heavy and must be transported by two people.

Disposing of your old appliance

Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking them­selves in and endangering their lives.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age 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.

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. In normal operation there is no risk.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-
rates the airways.
12

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial
The packaging is designed to protect the wine conditioning unit 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances of­ten contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, com­pounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to hu­man health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com­munity waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic ap­pliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also respons­ible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of your wine conditioning unit before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot. In this way, coolant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained, and will not leak into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See "Warning and Safety instructions" for more information.

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:
Rosé wines: +8°C to +10°C
Delicate, aromatic whites:
Full-bodied or sweet whites:
Champagne, 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.
+18 °C
+8°C to +12°C
+12°C to +14°C
+6°C to +10°C
26
The optimum 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 fall, a heater element switches on automatically to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible. If the ambient temperature continues to fall, the appliance switches itself off automatically.

Isolator plate for thermal separation

The unit comes with a fixed isolation panel that partitions the interior of the wine conditioning unit into two separate temperature zones. This enables you to store different types of wine at the same time, e.g., red wine and Champagne. The isolation strips inside the glass door prevent the exchange of heat between the individual zones.

Setting the temperature

The temperature in the wine condition­ing zones can be set independently of one another.
Touch the sensor 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.
Use the two sensors underneath the
display to set the temperature.
By touching the sensor
– the temperature will get colder
– the temperature will get warmer.
