^After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
^ Stainless steel components can be
cleaned with the Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel.
^ Apply the Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel to stainless
steel panels and frames each time
you clean the appliance.
This will help to protect stainless steel
surfaces and prevent resoiling for a
period of time.
Cleaning the door and side
panels
Remove any soiling immediately.
If not, it might become impossible to
remove and could cause the surface
to alter or discolour.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can also alter or discolour
the outer surfaces.
^ Clean surfaces using a damp
microfibre cloth or with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer
surfaces with a damp cloth and dry
with a soft cloth. The following also applies to
stainless steel appliances:
–
Appliance door
The appliance door is treated with a
high quality surface coating. It protects
against soiling and facilitates cleaning
and care.
Do not use the following on the
appliance doors:
– Stainless steel cleaners:
The coating will be damaged.
– Miele Original Care product for
stainless steel:
Visible smearing will form on the
door.
– Side panels
^ Remove soiling with the Original
Miele Care product for stainless
steel.
^ Apply the Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel to the side
panels each time after cleaning .
Each time this product is used it
forms a protective film against dirt
and water. The stainless steel surface
will be protected against resoiling for
a period of time.
Cleaning and care

							Ventilation gaps
^The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
^The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Rear of appliance - metal grille
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^Replace all shelves and accessories
back in the appliance.
^Reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply and switch it on.
^Switch on the SuperCool function for
a short time so that the appliance can
cool down quickly.
^Place the food back in the appliance
and close the door.

							Electrical connection
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations.
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an AC single phase
220-240 V 50 Hz supply.
The voltage and frequency are given on
the data plate. Please ensure that these
match the household mains supply. The
fuse rating is quoted on the plug.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible. For extra safety it is
advisable to install a suitable residual
current device (RCD).
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead or a plug adapter. Extension leads
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
Do not connect the machine to an
inverter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source e.g.Solar
power.
When switched on, peak loads in the
system can cause the safety switch off
mechanism to be triggered. This can
damage the electronic unit.
The machine must not be used with
so-calledEnergy saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of
energy supplied to the machine,
causing it to overheat.WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

							Do not place any appliance which
gives off heat, such as a toaster or
microwave oven, on top of this
appliance, as this would increase
the appliances energy
consumption.
Side-by-side installation
To avoid a build-up of condensation
and resultant damage, refrigerators and
freezers should not generally be
installed side-by-side next to each
other.
However, some appliances have
side-wall heating making them suitable
for side-by-side installation.
Your Chartered Agent will be able to
advise you on which models are
suitable.
^Follow the instructions for the other
appliance on how to install the two
appliances side-by-side.
Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room. It should not
be installed where it is exposed to
direct sunlight or directly adjacent to a
heat-producing appliance such as an
oven or a radiator. The room
temperature should not go above or
below the climate range for which the
appliance is designed. The higher the
ambient temperature of the room, the
more energy the appliance requires to
operate.
Important: tropical / humid
environments
During periods of high humidity,
some condensation may appear on
outside surfaces of cooling
appliances. This condensation will
disappear when humidity levels
drop. For prevention, it is advisable
to install the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or an
air-conditioned room.
Please ensure that doors are closing
and sealing properly.
Please ensure that the appliance is
installed in accordance with these
installation instructions and that the
handle is fitted correctly. Should you
require further assistance please
contact your Miele customer service
centre.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
this appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.

Operating in a room which is too cold will
cause the cooling system to switch off for
too long, causing the internal temperature
in the appliance to rise with the risk of
food deteriorating and going off.
