							When using the appliance, follow
basic safety precautions, including
the following:
Read all instructions before
installation and use to prevent
accidents and machine damage.
This appliance is intended for
residential use only. Use only as
described in this Operating manual.
This appliance is for household use
only. Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual. Any other use could be
dangerous.
This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use
of the appliance can cause personal
injury and material damage.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Electrical safety
~Before installation, make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
~Before installation or service,
disconnect the power supply to the
work area by unplugging the unit,
tripping the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse.
~Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance
(e.g., danger of overheating).
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damages caused
by the lack, or inadequacy, of an
effective grounding system.
~Only connect power to the
appliance when all installation and
plumbing work is complete.

							Installation
This appliance is top-heavy and
must be secured to prevent the
possibility of tipping forward.
Keep the door closed until the
appliance is completely installed
and secured per installation
instructions.
~Before installing the appliance,
check for externally visible damage.
Do notoperate a damaged appliance.
~This appliance must be installed
and connected in compliance with the
installation instructions.
~The appliance must be properly
installed before operation to ensure that
no electrical components are
accessible.
~Installation work and repairs should
only be performed by a trained
technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unauthorized
persons could be dangerous.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
~Installation must comply with local
plumbing regulations and state laws.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage caused by a faulty
connection to the water supply.
~Connection to the water supply and
any repairs to the ice maker must only
be carried out by a suitably qualified
person. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage caused by a
faulty connection to the water supply.
~Before making plumbing
connections, ensure the appliance is
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
~Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or if the
appliance has been damaged in any
manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Ser
-
vice Department.
~This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft.
~Do not install the freezer in a room
with too low an ambient temperature,
e.g., a garage, as this may lead to the
appliance switching off for longer
periods so that it cannot maintain the
required temperature.
~In appliances with an automatic ice
maker, avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element located on the
bottom of the ice maker. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the freezer is
plugged in.
~The ice cube maker is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
~Do not use water that is
microbiologically or chemically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection or other treatment before or
after the filter is used; the filter alone is
not an adequate safeguard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

							Use
~Persons who lack physical, sensory
or mental abilities, or experience with
the machine should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a
responsible person.
~To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on or near the
appliance, especially in the door hinge
area.
~After your freezer is in operation, do
not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
~Avoid contact with the moving parts
of the ejector mechanism, or with the
heating element located on the bottom
of the ice maker. Do not place fingers
or hands on the automatic ice making
mechanism while the appliance is
plugged in.

~Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
~To avoid serious illness or death, do
not deactivate the water filter display.
~Do not use sharp-edged objects to
remove frost and ice, or separate
frozen foods and remove ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~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.
~Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal, as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous with
time.
~Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit, as this can impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and cause
damage to the appliance.
~Never use a steam cleaner to clean
the appliance. Pressurized steam could
damage electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
~Before using the Ice/Water
dispenser it is important to flush the
lines and clean the part thoroughly.
