Any other usage is not permitted.
5Warning and Safety instructions This appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar substances or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such purposes may cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance is also not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety. They may only use the appliance unsupervised if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely and are able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation. Safety with children Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance. Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult. Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do not let them play with it. Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material (e.g. foil) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children. 6
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The
refrigeration appliance complies with all current local and national
safety requirements.
This refrigeration 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 has a lower
greenhouse effect than some other refrigerants.
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. Unfortunately, these effects cannot be avoided, but they
do not 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. Leaking refrigerant
can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room in which the appliance is located for several
minutes.
- Call Miele.
7Warning and Safety instructions The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger the room should be in which it is installed. 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 11 g of coolant, at least 1 m3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant 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. Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. If the electrical connection cable supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele spare parts are used. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or laundry). This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship). 8
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable), or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances
must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
9Warning and Safety instructions Correct use The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (ambient temperatures) and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance 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 appliance switching off for longer periods, with the result that it cannot maintain the required temperature. To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the ventilation gaps in the appliance and built-in structure must not be covered or blocked in any way. This would also increase the energy consumption and could cause damage to the appliance. If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the 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 appliance. Risk of fire and explosion! Do not store any explosive materials or products containing flammable propellants (e.g. spray cans) in the refrigeration appliance. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Danger of explosion! Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion. Food stored for too long may present a risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on the food manufacturer's packaging regarding storage conditions and use-by dates. Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability. 10
Warning and Safety instructions
Stainless steel appliances
The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not adhere sticky notes,
transparent tape, masking tape or other adhesives onto the stainless
steel surface.
The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratches.
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
11Warning 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 appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to - remove frost and ice, or accelerate the defrosting process, - separate frozen foods and remove ice trays. Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts. Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health. Transport To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and in its packaging. Risk of injury and damage! The appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people. 12
Warning and Safety instructions
Disposal of your old appliance
If your old appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This way you will
prevent the risk of playing children 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 refrigerant channels in the condenser,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.

As a result of the higher temperature
during Holiday mode, the shelf life of
the food is reduced.
Do not store any temperature-
sensitive food which goes off easily
such as fruit, vegetables, fish, meat
and dairy products during this time.
Food which does not go off quickly can
be stored in the refrigerator for some
time at this moderate temperature, and
energy consumption is lower than in
