							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.

							Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene and
plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and
children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in
packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.
Technical safety
The coolant system is tested for leaks. The appliance complies
with the relevant 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 installation 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 any flames or anything which creates a spark,
–
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
–
ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
–
call the Service department.

							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
3of room space is required. The
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 before connecting the
appliance to the mains 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 it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested and where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adaptor or extension lead . These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Do not use in a damp environment (e.g. garage or utility room).
Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection
and cause a short circuit.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
