							Disposing of the packaging
materials
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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.
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 into the environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
presents no danger to children while
being stored awaiting disposal. See
Warning and Safety instructions for
more information.

							This appliance complies with all statutory safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance,
please read these instructions carefully before installation and
before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
The appliance is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments. It is not intended for
outdoor use.
This appliance is intended for domestic use only for cooling and
storing food and drink as well as for storing deep frozen food,
freezing fresh food and for making ice.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions

							The appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool
medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such
materials or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such
purposes can cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance
is not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
The appliance can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way
and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect
operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do
not let them play with it.

							Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. 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 statutory 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.
Splashes of 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.
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 essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested 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 electrical supply by an
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.
