							~Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed and
connected in accordance with these
operating and installation instructions.
~This appliance may only be used in
mobile installations such as ships etc. if
a risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
~Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
persons in accordance with national
and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–
it has been switched off at the socket
and the plug has been withdrawn.
–
the fuse from the fused spur
connection unit has been withdrawn,
or
–
the mains fuse has been withdrawn,
or the screw-out fuse removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Correct use
~Never handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
~Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice cubes
or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer. The very low temperature of
the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost
burn to the lips and tongue.
~Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food.
Defrosted food should be used up as
quickly as possible, as food soon loses
it nutritional value and goes off.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
~Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Thermostats switching
on may produce sparks which could
present a fire hazard. Flammable
compounds could explode.
~Do not operate any electrical
equipment (e.g. electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.

							~If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is tightly
closed and stored upright.
Danger of explosion.
~Do not store cans or bottles
containing carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer. The
cans or bottles could explode.
Danger of injury and damage to the
appliance.
~When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour, otherwise they
could burst, resulting in injury or
damage.
~Observe the use by dates given on
food to avoid the 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 on storage
conditions required.
~Do not use sharp edged objects to
–
remove frost and ice,
–
separate frozen foods or remove ice
trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~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.
~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 store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
~Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
~The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (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 so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
~Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.

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.
DefrostingDefrost 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.
How to save energy

							Before using for the first time
The stainless steel trim to the interior
shelves and the door shelves has a
layer of protective foil to prevent
scratching during transportation.
^Do not remove this foil until the
appliance has been built in.
^Treat the stainless steel surfaces with
a proprietary stainless steel
conditioner immediately after
removing the foil (available from the
Miele Spare Parts department or via
the internet on www.miele.co.uk).
Important! A stainless steel
conditioner gives long lasting
protection, and helps to prevent
resoiling.
^Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with warm water and
a little washing-up liquid, and then
dry with a soft cloth.
Important:
To ensure the correct functioning of
the appliance, let it stand for
between 1½ and 2 hours after
transporting it to its final location
before connecting it to the mains.
Switching on
^Press the On/Off button.
The temperature display lights up, the
appliance starts cooling and the interior
light will come on when the door is
opened.
To enable the temperature to get
sufficiently cold inside the appliance,
allow the appliance to run for a few
hours before placing food in it.
Switching off
^Press the On/Off button until the
temperature display goes out.
The cooling system is switched off. (If
this does not happen, the safety lock is

							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 refrigerator.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at0to3°C.
Dynamic cooling
The dynamic cooling fan automatically
switches on when the cooling system
for the refrigerator switches on. It
distributes the temperature in the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
...inthefreezer compartment
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °Cis required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises above -10 °C, the
micro-organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has
been cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro-organisms.

							Setting the temperature in the
refrigerator
Use the two buttons underneath the
temperature display to set the
temperature for the refrigerator.
If the refrigerator zone temperature
is set to4°Cthe freezer
compartment will drop to approx.
-18 °C.
Press the
+ button: to raise the temperature (it
gets warmer)
– button: to reduce the temperature (it
gets cooler).
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When pressing the buttons, the
following information shows in the
display:
–
When first pressed, thelast
temperature selectedflashes.
–
Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–
Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button, thecurrent average
temperature of the refrigerator 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
full, before 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.
