Warning and Safety instructions
The refrigerant inside the appliance (details on the data plate) is
environmentally friendly but flammable.
The use of this refrigerant does, however, sometimes lead 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 refrigerant flowing
around the cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but
it does not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of
refrigerant can damage the eyes and leaking refrigerant can ignite.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
The more refrigerant there is in a refrigeration 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 a combustible
gas/air mixture building up. For every 8g of refrigerant at least 1m3 of
room space is required. The amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration
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.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature to ensure the shelf life of
food. Reducing the temperature reduces
the growth rate of microorganisms.
Food does not spoil as quickly.
The temperature in the refrigeration
appliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept open
- The more food that is stored in it
- The warmer the food is which is being
put into it
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration
appliance. This refrigeration appliance
is designed for use within specific
ambient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
...in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.

Using Super cool and DynaCool
SuperCool
When switched on, the SuperCool
function can be used to rapidly
reduce the temperature in the fridgezone to its lowest setting (depending
on the ambient temperature). The
refrigeration appliance will work at full
power and lower the temperature.
Select this function for the rapid
chilling of large amounts of fresh food
or drink.
When the SuperCool function is
switched on, the appliance may make
more noise than usual.
The SuperCool function should be
switched on 4hours before placing
food or drinks in the fridge zone.
The SuperCool function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
12hours. The refrigeration appliance
will then run at normal power again.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperCool function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Switching SuperCool on and off

Use the sensor control to scroll to
the temperature you want and touch
OK.
39
Page 40
Using Super cool and DynaCool
DynaCool
When the DynaCool function is not
switched on, the natural circulation of
air in the appliance will cause different
temperature zones in the fridge zone,
as the cold, heavy air will sink to the
lowest section of the appliance. You
should bear this in mind when placing
food in the appliance (see “Storing
food in the refrigerator section”).
However, if you are storing a large
amount of similar food in the
refrigerator at any one time, e.g. after
your weekly shop, it is a good idea to
turn on DynaCool. This way you can
distribute the temperature on all the
adjustable shelves inside the appliance
more evenly so that all the food in the
fridge zone will be chilled to about the
same degree.
The temperature is set as normal with
the temperature control.
Also switch on the DynaCool function
when:
- The ambient temperature is high
(above approx. 35°C)
- The humidity levels are high (e.g. in
the summer)
Switching DynaCool on and off
Touch the OKsensor control on the
control panel.

Explanation of the different
settings
Only the settings that require further
explanation are described below.
The door alarm and other warnings are
automatically suppressed when you
are in Settings mode.
Party mode
The Party mode function is
particularly recommended for the rapid
chilling of large amounts of fresh food
or drink.
Tip: Switch on the Party mode
function approx. 4hours before
placing food and drinks in the appliance.
When Party mode is switched on, the
DynaCool and SuperCool
functions are switched on automatically.
Party mode cannot be switched on if
Holiday mode is switched on.
The Party mode function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
24hours. However, you can switch the
Party mode function off early at any
time.
Holiday mode
The Holiday mode function is
useful when you go on holiday, for
example, if you do not wish to switch
off the fridge zone completely or do
not need a high degree of cooling.
The start display shows when Holiday
mode is switched on.
The fridge zone is regulated to a
temperature of 15°C. The fridge zone
remains in operation whilst also saving
energy.
Food which does not go off quickly can
be stored in the refrigeration appliance
for some time at this moderate
refrigerator temperature. Energy
consumption is lower than in normal
operation.
This also prevents the build-up of
odours and mould which can occur if
the fridge zone is switched off and the
appliance door is closed.
Health risk caused by
decomposing food.
The usability and quality of food in
the fridge zone may deteriorate if the
temperature remains above 4°C for
an extended period.

Storing food in the fridge zone
Risk of explosion due to
flammable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). The spray cans in
question can be identified by the
contents printed on the can or by a
flame symbol. Electrical components
can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration appliance
or the appliance door, make sure that
it does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto
the plastic parts of the refrigeration
appliance.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are
different temperature regions in the
refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the refrigeration section.
Make use of the different zones when
placing food in the appliance.
This refrigeration appliance has
dynamic cooling, which helps to keep
an even temperature when the fan is
running. The difference between the
various temperature zones is therefore
less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing
butter and cheese.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the appliance.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
50
Page 51
Storing food in the fridge zone
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the DailyFresh drawer
and at the back of the appliance.
A temperature setting of 4°C
combined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food
poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas to
store all delicate and highly perishable
food, including:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- Other fresh food (with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C)
Tip: Store food in such a way that it
does not touch the rear wall of the
fridge zone. Otherwise it could freeze to
the rear wall.
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
section
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5°C, because it
may be sensitive to cold. Depending on
the type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavour and/or vitamin
content may be altered if stored at too
cold a temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold includes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit such
as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruit
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
51
Page 52
Storing food in the fridge zone
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge
zone is in packaging or covered properly
(some exceptions apply in the
DailyFresh drawer).
This will prevent food odours from
affecting other food, stop food from
drying out and also prevent any crosscontamination of bacteria. This is
particularly important when storing
meat products. Make sure that food
such as raw meat and fish in particular
does not come into contact with other
food.
By ensuring that the temperature
settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures, you
can prolong the storage life of your
food considerably. This prevents food
waste.
Protein-rich food
Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
52
Page 53
Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
The DailyFresh drawer provides good
storage conditions for fruit and
vegetables.
The humidity level in the DailyFresh
drawer can also be regulated to suit the
food being stored. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and so does not dry out as quickly. The
temperature is approximately equivalent
to the temperature in the fridge zone.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Adjusting the humidity level in the
DailyFresh drawer for fruit and
vegetables
The moisture level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
If the quantity of food being stored in
this compartment is small, the
humidity level may be too low.
Tip: If you are only storing a small
amount of food, wrap it in airtight
packaging.
Selecting low humidity
The appliance is delivered with
increased humidity and the
compartment cover pushed
backwards .
Only change this position if the
DailyFresh drawer is excessively
humid:
Open the DailyFresh drawer.
Pull the compartment cover forwards
as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is open and the
humidity drops .
Selecting increased humidity
Open the DailyFresh drawer.
Slide the compartment cover
backwards as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is closed and
the humidity remains in the
compartment .
53
Page 54
Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep
well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):
Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial
to maintaining freshness.
Clean the DailyFresh drawer before storing food in it.
Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the DailyFresh drawer (see
“Storing food in the fridge zone – Food which is not suitable for storage in the
fridge zone”).
Set the compartment cover to the correct position for the food being stored
(humidity not increased or humidity increased ).
An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is
achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if it is stored
unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.
If too much moisture collects in the compartment at the setting and the food
is affected, dry the floor and place a rack or similar item in the compartment so
that excess moisture can drip down. Alternatively, reduce the humidity by
pulling the compartment cover forwards.
If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight
packaging.
54
Page 55
Fridge zone and DailyFresh
drawer
The fridge zone and the DailyFresh
drawer defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the fridge zone and the
DailyFresh drawer whilst the
compressor is running. You do not need
to remove this.
The condensate drains through a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
refrigeration appliance. The warmth
generated by the compressor causes
the condensate to evaporate
automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this.
Condensate must be able to drain
away unhindered at all times.

Cleaning and care
The data plate located inside the
interior cabinet of the refrigeration
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is required
in the event of a fault.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical
components.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used in the interior cabinet of the
refrigeration appliance must be food
safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use the following:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes
(e.g. pot scourers)
- Eraser stain remover blocks

Take any food out of the refrigeration
appliance and store it in a cool place.
Remove any accessories that can be
removed for cleaning (see “Removing,
dismantling and cleaning the
accessories”).
Cleaning the inside of the
appliance
The refrigeration appliance should be
cleaned regularly (at least once a
month).
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove under certain circumstances.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently using a cotton
swab or similar item to ensure that
condensate can drain away freely.
Leave the door open to air the
refrigeration appliance sufficiently for
a short while and to prevent odour
build-up.

Problem solving guide
Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. You can save time and money in many cases, as you do not need to call
the Miele Customer Service Department.
Information to help you rectify faults yourself can be found at www.miele.com/
service.
The following tables are designed to help you to find the cause of a malfunction or a
fault and to resolve it.
