							Correct use
The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges
(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.
The climate range of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient
temperature will lead to the appliance switching off for longer
periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the appliance.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components
could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and
explosion.
Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric
ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and
explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or
liquids which could freeze in the freezer section. 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,
causing injury or damage.
Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with
wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or metal parts.
Danger of frost burn. Danger of injury.
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 frostburn
to the lips or tongue.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Observe the manufacturers use-by dates and storage
instructions 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 manufacturers
packaging regarding storage conditions and use-by dates.
Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.
Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

							Stainless steel appliances
Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door. These
damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt-repellent protective
coating.
The high-quality surface of the door is susceptible to scratching.
Even fridge magnets can cause scratching.
Cleaning and care
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– lift food.
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 could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts and which may
cause the build up of gases and pose a danger to health.

							Transporting the appliance
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its
original transport packaging to prevent damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is heavy and must
be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from 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.

UseDrawers, shelves and racks
arranged as they were when
the appliance was delivered.
Only open the doors when
necessary and for as short a
time as possible.
Store food in an organised
way.Frequent opening of the door
for long periods will cause a
loss of coldness. The
appliance works harder to
cool down and the
compressor runs for longer
periods.
Take an insulated cool bag
with you when shopping and
place food in the appliance as
soon as possible.
Replace any food removed
rapidly, before it begins to
thaw.
Allow hot food and drinks to
cool down before placing
them in the appliance.Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the
temperature inside the
appliance. The appliance
works harder to cool down
and the compressor runs for
longer periods.
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.

the interior of the appliance.
Protective foil
The stainless steel trim in the interior
has a layer of protective foil to prevent
damage during transporation.
On stainless steel appliances, the
stainless steel door (and sides,
depending on model) will also have a
layer of protective foil.
Do not remove this foil until the
appliance has been positioned in its
final location.

							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 placed 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 section
We recommend a temperature of5°C
in the middle of the refrigerator.
...inthefreezer section
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
The temperature is set in each zone by
using the respective temperature
button.

Press the temperature button
repeatedly until the indicator light for
the temperature you want lights up in
the display.
The first time you press the button the
indicator light for the last temperature
you set will flash in the display.
Thereafter the temperature value will
change each time you press the button
until the highest setting is reached. It
will then go back to the lowest setting
again.
