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 should 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!
Disposal 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 or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
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.

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

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.
