accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
~Be careful not to damage any part of
the pipework whilst awaiting disposal,
e.g. by
–puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
–bending any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and safety instructions.

UseOnly open the doors when
necessary and for as short a time
as possible.Frequent opening of the doors for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. If food is not stored in an
organised way, searching for an
item will mean the door is open for
longer.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
appliance.Placing hot food in the appliance
will cause the compressor to run
for a long time, as the appliance
will have to work harder to lower
the temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation
of liquids will cause a loss of
coldness in the refrigerator.
Place frozen food in the
refrigerator to defrost.
Do not over-fill the appliance to
allow air to circulate.
Defrosting
(not applicable for
Frost Free models with
Automatic Defrost)Defrost the freezer compartment
when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick
has built up.A layer of ice hinders the cold
from reaching the frozen food, and
causes an increase in energy
consumption.

							Before using for the first time
The stainless steel external and internal
surfaces of the appliance have a layer
of protective foil to prevent scratching
during transportation.
^Do not remove this foil until the
appliance has been installed or built
in.
^After removing the protective foil,
treat stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable stainless steel conditioning
agent (available from
www.miele-shop.com) (depending on
country).
Important: A stainless steel
conditioner gives long lasting
protection, and helps to prevent
resoiling.
^Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with lukewarm water
and a little washing-up liquid, and
then dry with a soft cloth.
Active charcoal filters
(Active AirClean filters)
^
Place the active charcoal filters
supplied in the holder, and place the
holder on one of the shelves inside
the refrigerator (see Active charcoal
filters).
Important:
To ensure the correct functioning of
the appliance, let it stand for
between 1½ and 2 hours after

							It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
–the more often the 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 appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
...intherefrigerator and the
PerfectFresh zone
We recommend a temperature of4°C
in the middle of the refrigerator.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at0to3°C.
DynamicCooling
The DynamicCooling fan automatically
switches on when the cooling system
for the refrigerator switches on. It
distributes the temperature in the
appliance to all areas evenly so that all
the food will be chilled to about the
same degree.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the appliance
can be selected by touching the arrow
sensors on either side of the
temperature display.
By touching the
sensor: the temperature will get
colder
sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When touching the sensors, the
following information shows in the
display:
–
When first touched, thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
–
Each subsequent touch of a sensor,
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.

							–Leaving a finger on the sensor,
adjusts the temperature
continuously.
When the highest or lowest
temperature in the range is reached,
theorsensor disappears.
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your
finger off the sensor, theaverage,
currenttemperature inside the
appliance is automatically shown.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very fullandfor
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
fullbefore checking the temperature
display, as it will take this long for the
display to give an accurate reading. If,
after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
4°Cto9°C.
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
Setting the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is automatically held at 0 to 3 °C.
It can be raised or lowered, e.g. if you
want to use it for storing items like fish.^Touch and leave your finger on the
