Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The wine conditioning unit complies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU directives.

This wine conditioning unit contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect the performance of the wine conditioning unit.

When transporting and installing the wine conditioning unit, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes.

In the event of damage:

-Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.

-Disconnect the wine conditioning unit from the mains electricity supply.

-Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for several minutes.

-Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

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 dangerous. 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.

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 wine conditioning unit 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 wine conditioning unit contains several light sources with at least energy efficiency class G.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The wine conditioning unit is designed for use within a certain climate 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 efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the components.

If the wine conditioning unit is used for storing food which contains fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components. Any spillages of oil or fat could cause stress cracks to the plastic and cause it to break or split.

Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the wine conditioning unit 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 appliances inside the wine conditioning unit. Danger of sparking and explosion.

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.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

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 wine unit.

11

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 conditioning unit.

The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the wine conditioning unit. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to

-remove frost and ice,

-remove labels, stickers etc.

12

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 to the appliance. The wine conditioning unit is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

Disposing of your old appliance

If your old wine unit or 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 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.

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 wine conditioning unit'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.

Guide to the appliance

Using the door-opening mech-

anism correctly

The Push2open system on your wine conditioning unit makes it easy to open the appliance door. The door on your wine conditioning unit is sensitive to pressure.

The Push2open system is deactivated at the factory. The function has to be activated by touching the On/Off sensor once the appliance has been installed in the niche (see “Switching on and off”).

Opening the appliance door

Risk of damage from incorrect handling of the door-opening mechanism.

Obstructing the appliance door while opening it, or pushing in or holding onto the door-opening mechanism while the door is closing, may cause damage to the door-opening mechanism.

Do not handle the door-opening mechanism in this way.

To bring the door-opening mechanism into its original position if necessary, remove the plug and reconnect it again after 5 seconds.

Press briefly against the top lefthand side of the appliance door and then release it. The door will then open a little way automatically.

Then pull the door fully open.

Risk of damage from incorrect handling of the open appliance door.

Subjecting the door to pressure when it is open can damage it. Do not place anything on it whilst open.

To protect against inadvertent opening, if you do not pull the door open, it will close again by itself after approximately 3 seconds.

Closing the appliance door

Push the door shut.

Please be aware that using magnets in front of the wine conditioning unit door can cause it to open by mistake. This is caused by the door-closing mechanism on the wine conditioning unit.
