Technical safety
The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
~
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU guidelines.
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 naked flames or anything which creates a spark,
disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,
ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and
contact the Miele Service Department.
11
Warning and 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 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.
The electrical safety of this appliance 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.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
3
of room space is required. The
Do not connect the appliance 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.

The correct temperature
...inthewine conditioning zones
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.
Wine can be stored at a temperature between 5°C and 18°C. The optimum temperature for white wine is between 8 and 12 °C. It is best to take red wine out of the wine conditioning zones about two hours before drinking. Open the wine to allow it to breathe and to develop its aroma. After two hours, red wine will be at the correct temperature for drinking.
If wine is stored at a temperature above 22°C it will mature too quickly. Wine should not be stored below 5°C for a long period of time as it will not mature fully at this low temperature.
Isolator plate for thermal separation
The appliance has a fixed isolator plate which divides the top cabinet into two different temperature zones. You can use the upper and lower zones for storing different types of wine, e.g. red wine and white wine.
The following temperatures are recommended for the different types of wine:
Red wine: +14 °C to +18 °C
Rosé wine: +10 °C to +12 °C
White wine: +8 °C to +12 °C
Sparkling white wines:
Champagne: +5 °C to +7 °C
+7 °C to +9 °C
Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.
26
The correct temperature
...inthefreezer section
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the micro-organisms become active in the food again so that it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-frozen once it has been cooked, as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most micro-organisms.
It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
Setting the temperature
Select one of the wine conditioning
^
zones or the freezer section by touching the sensor until the appropriate symbol lights up yellow.
You can set the temperatures in the wine conditioning zones independently of one another.
^ You can now use the arrow sensors
on either side of the temperature display to set the temperature you require.
By touching the
The temperature in the appliance will rise:
the more often the door is opened and the longer it is kept open,
if too much food is stored in it at once,
the warmer the food is which is being put into it,
the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance. The appliance is designed for use in specific ambient temperatures (climate ranges). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.
X sensor: the temperature will get
colder
Y sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
