Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap-
propriate EU directives.
This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does
not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
The use of this refrigerant has, however, led to a slight increase in
the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the com-
pressor, you might be able to hear the refrigerant flowing around the
cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not
affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refri-
gerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
The more refrigerant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the ap-
pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of a combustible gas/
air mixture building up. For every 8g of refrigerant at least 1m
3
of
room space is required. The amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
If the electrical connection cable supplied is damaged, it must
only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the
user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when ori-
ginal Miele spare parts are used.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains con-
nection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not oper-
ate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to mois-
ture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
Warning and Safety instructions

the appliance for visible signs of damage.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply dur-
ing installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation
work on the mains water connection. It is only completely isolated
from the power supply when:
- the mains fuses are switched off, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or
- the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the
cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty
mains water connection can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains
water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only
ever be carried out by a Miele-authorised technician.

Correct use
This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperat-
ures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the
data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A
lower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch off
for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable
to maintain the required temperature.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
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.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance.
Danger of sparking and explosion.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans
or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze
in the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling
drinks quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of
the appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen
food or to the metal.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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 zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can
cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-
ted 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 manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-
tions 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.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your refrigeration appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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 or defrost this ap-
pliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- separate frozen food or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Transport
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration
appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
Children playing could become trapped in the appliance and
could suffocate.
- Remove the appliance doors.
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so chil-
dren cannot climb inside.
- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking them-
selves in and endangering their lives.
Risk of electric shock!
- Cut the power plug off the mains connection cable.
- Cut the mains connection cable off the old appliance.
Dispose of everything separately from the old appliance.
During and after disposal, make sure that the refrigeration appli-
ance is not placed near petrol or other flammable gases and liquids.
Risk of fire due to escaping oil or refrigerant!
The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In high
enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source.
During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged in
order to prevent refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled man-
ner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
- puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal oper-
ation.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-
rates the airways.
Caring for the environment
17
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
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 manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with household waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion appliance before or during disposal
in an authorised, environmentally
friendly manner.
This is to ensure that refrigerant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed

Installation site
Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the refrigeration appli-
ance tipping over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance door is open.
Keep the appliance door(s) closed
until the refrigeration appliance has
been built in. The refrigeration appli-
ance must be secured in its building-
in niche in accordance with the oper-
ating and installation instructions.
Fire risk and risk of damage from
appliances which give off heat.
Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-
tion appliance.
This refrigeration appliance must not
be installed underneath a hob.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames.
Open flames can set fire to the refri-
geration appliance.
Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the refrigeration appli-
ance.
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding on the installation site,
please bear in mind that your refrigera-
tion appliance will use more energy if
installed near to a heater, a cooker or
other appliance that gives off heat.
Avoid direct sunlight.
The higher the ambient temperature,
the longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption is.
When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, please note the following:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The plug and mains connection cable
must not touch the rear of the refri-
geration appliance as they could be
damaged by vibrations from the ap-
pliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind the refrigeration appliance.
- Do not position or operate multi-
socket adapters, distributor strips or
other electronic devices (such as
halogen transformers) at the rear of
the appliance.

Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex-
ternal refrigeration appliance panels.
This condensate can cause corrosion
on external appliance panels.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a
dry and/or air-conditioned room with
sufficient ventilation.
After installation please make sure
that the appliance door(s) closes
(close) properly and the refrigeration
appliance is installed in accordance
with these installation instructions. It
is essential to comply with the spe-
cified ventilation cutout require-
ments.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to condens-
ation on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity
and a lack of ventilation, condensa-
tion can build up on external appli-
ance panels, which can cause corro-
sion.
Do not place refrigeration appliances
directly next to or on top of one an-
other.
Your refrigeration appliance can be in-
stalled with another refrigeration appli-
ance next to it as it is equipped with in-
tegrated heaters in the side panels.
Each of the two refrigeration appliances
must be built into a separate housing
unit.
Climate range
This refrigeration appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient temper-
atures (climate range). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is not
designed.
A lower ambient temperature leads to
the compressor switching off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the refrigeration appli-
ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-
orating and going off.
The climate range is stated on the data
plate in the interior cabinet of the refri-
geration appliance.
Climate range Ambient temper-
ature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
A freezer from the SN climate range
can operate without any difficulties in
rooms with a cooler ambient temper-
ature (down to +5°C).
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
21
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the com-
pressor will run more frequently and
for longer periods. This will result in
increased energy consumption and a
higher operating temperature for the
compressor. This may, in turn, cause
damage to the compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They must also be regularly dusted.
Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-
ance gets warm. The appliance housing
unit must therefore be constructed to
allow sufficient space for ventilation
(see “Installation dimensions” and the
installation instructions provided).
Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen fur-
niture, the thickness and edge radius of
the furniture door panel and the gap
that runs around the door, vertically and
horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following:
- Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door
panel and the housing unit door above
or below it must be at least 3mm.
- Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration
appliance furniture door panel and
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall on the hinged side is too small,
the appliance door could collide with
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the
size of this gap to suit the thickness
and edge radius of the appliance fur-
niture door.
This must be taken into consideration
when planning your kitchen and when
replacing an old refrigeration appliance
with a new one to ensure the installation
conditions required are met.

Electrical connection
The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected to an earthed socket using
the mains connection cable supplied.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the refrigeration appliance has
been installed. If the socket is not easily
accessible, ensure that a suitable
means of disconnection is provided on
the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the refrigeration appli-
ance to a multi-socket plug adapter
or to an extension lead can overload
the cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply
with VDE0100 requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-
tion for connecting the refrigeration ap-
pliance.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not syn-
chronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation
is that the power supply system com-
plies with the specifications of
EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the pro-
tective measures provided in the do-
mestic electrical installation and in this
Miele product must also be maintained
in isolated operation or in operation that
is not synchronised with the mains
power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in
the installation. As described, for ex-
ample, in the current version of VDE-
AR-E2510-2.

The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.
The following settings are recommended:
- -18°C in the freezer section.
Use Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air
circulation. Therefore, you should:
- Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as
short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that
makes it easy to find in the appliance.
- Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening
them.
- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in
the refrigeration appliance.
- Store food well packaged or covered.
- Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.

Switching on and off
40
To note when switching off for longer
periods of time
If, during a long absence, the refri-
geration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door is left
shut, there is a danger of mould
building up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the refrigera-
tion appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not go-
ing to be used for a longer period of
time, observe the following:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
Switch off at the wall and disconnect
the plug from the socket, or discon-
nect the fuse.
Empty the ice cube drawer.
Risk of damage to the ice cube
maker.
If the water inlet is blocked while the
ice cube maker is still in use, the wa-
ter inlet pipe can freeze up.
Turn the ice cube maker off if the wa-
ter supply is turned off (e.g. while on
holiday).
Close the stopcock for the water in-
let.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the refrigera-
tion appliance and avoid odours
building up inside.
The correct temperature
41
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for long periods, a temperature of
-18°C is required. At this temperature
the growth of bacteria is generally hal-
ted. As soon as the temperature rises
above -10°C, the bacteria become act-
ive in the food again so 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 temperat-
ures achieved when cooking destroy
most bacteria.
The temperature in the refrigeration ap-
pliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept
open.
- The more food is stored in it.
- The warmer the food is which is be-
ing put into it.
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance. This refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the current maximum
freezer section temperature in the
refrigeration appliance.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this tem-
perature to then be shown as a con-
stant temperature in the display.
Setting the temperature
Touch the temperature display on the
display.
Swipe left or right until the temperat-
ure you want is shown in the middle.
Tap on the temperature you want to
confirm.
The temperature display will then
change back to the current temperature
in the refrigeration appliance.
Possible temperature settings
- Freezer section: -15to-28°C
The correct temperature
42
If you change the temperature set-
ting:
check the temperature display after a
few hours. It will take this long for the
appliance to give an accurate read-
ing.
- Wait for approx.6hours if the refri-
geration appliance is not very full
- Wait for approx.24hours if the refri-
geration appliance is full
If, after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low:
Adjust the temperature again.
Using Super freeze
43
SuperFreeze
When switched on, the SuperFreeze
function can be used to rapidly re-
duce the temperature in the freezer
section to its lowest setting (depend-
ing on the ambient temperature). The
refrigeration appliance will work at full
power and lower the temperature. Se-
lect this function before freezing fresh
food. This helps food to freeze quickly
and retain its nutrients, vitamins, fla-
vours and appearance.
When the SuperFreeze function is
switched on, the appliance may make
more noise than usual.
SuperFreeze should be switched on
approx. 6hours before placing food
in the freezer section.
When freezing the maximum amount
of food, the SuperFreeze function
should be switched on 24hours be-
forehand.
The SuperFreeze function will
switch itself off automatically after a
maximum of 72hours. The refrigera-
tion appliance will then run at normal
power again. The quantity of fresh
food placed in the freezer will determ-
ine the duration before it switches off.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperFreeze function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
You do not need to switch on the Su-
perFreeze function:
- If you are placing food that is
already frozen in the freezer
- If you only freeze up to 2kg of
fresh food daily
Switching SuperFreeze on and off
Touch the temperature display.
Tap to switch the SuperFreeze
function on and off again.

Temperature and door alarm
50
Health risk caused by decom-
posing food.
If the temperature in the freezer re-
mains above -18°C for a long time,
the frozen food can start to defrost.
This will reduce the storage life of the
food.
Check whether the frozen food has
started to defrost. If it has, check
that the food is safe to use and if it
is, then use it as soon as possible or
cook it before freezing it again.
Temperature alarm
The refrigeration appliance has been
fitted with a warning system so that
the temperature in the freezer zone
cannot rise unnoticed.
If the temperature becomes too
warm,
will light up red in the tem-
perature display.
An alarm will also sound until the cause
of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is
switched off.
The temperature the refrigeration appli-
ance is set at determines the temperat-
ure the appliance recognises as being
too warm.
The audible and visual signals may be
activated in the following situations:
- You switch on the refrigeration ap-
pliance and the temperature in a
temperature zone differs greatly
from the set temperature.
- A lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when you are rearranging
or taking out frozen food.
- You are freezing large amounts of
food at once.
- You are freezing warm food.
- There was a power cut.
- The refrigeration appliance has a
fault.
Before you switch the temperature
alarm off, you must determine the
cause and rectify it.

Freezing and storing food
52
Freezing fresh food
Health risk caused by decom-
posing food.
If the temperature in the freezer re-
mains above -18°C for a long time,
the frozen food can start to defrost.
This will reduce the storage life of the
food.
Check whether the frozen food has
started to defrost. If it has, check
that the food is safe to use and if it
is, then use it as soon as possible or
cook it before freezing it again.
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink significantly less. As there is not
so much moisture loss, it is easier for
the food to reabsorb it during the de-
frosting process, and very little water
collects around the defrosted food.
Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be ex-
ceeded. The maximum freezing capa-
city for freezing within a 24-hour period
is given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-
pacity...kg/24hrs”.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check:
- That the packaging is not damaged
- The use-by date
- That the temperature at which the
frozen food is being stored in the
shop is -18°C or colder
Where possible, transport frozen food
in an insulated bag and then store it
quickly in the refrigeration appliance.
Freezing and storing food
53
Home freezing
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 2kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function for 6hours before placing
the food in the freezer.
When freezing even larger amounts of
food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function for 24hours before pla-
cing the food in the freezer.
This helps the frozen food which is
already stored in the freezer to stay
frozen.
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Please note that some food is not suit-
able for freezing. These include, for
example, vegetables that are usually
eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.
Tip: To retain colour, taste, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To do
so, place vegetables portion by portion
into boiling water for 2–3minutes. Then
remove and plunge the vegetables into
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave
the vegetables to drain.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
Tip: Use suitable packaging to avoid
freezer burn (such as freezer contain-
ers).
Expel as much air as possible from
the packaging and close it tightly.
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
Placing frozen food in the freezer
If the food is too heavy, this can
cause damage.
Loading food which is too heavy can
cause damage to the freezer draw-
ers/glass shelves.
Do not exceed the relevant maximum
load:
Freezer drawer = 12kg
Glass shelf = 35kg
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
To prevent food sticking together
when frozen, make sure that the
packaging and containers are dry.
To ensure that food freezes through to
the core quickly, do not exceed the
following packaging and container
sizes:
- Fruit and vegetables: max. 1kg
- Meat: max. 2.5kg
–Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
Freezing and storing food
54
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the upper freezer drawers so that it
freezes through to the core as quickly
as possible.
–VarioRoom: freezing the maximum
amount of food (see data plate)
If the ventilation slots are blocked,
the cooling performance will de-
crease and energy consumption will
increase.
When placing food in the freezer,
make sure that the ventilation slots
are not blocked.
Tip: You can expand the space avail-
able in the freezer section. If you wish to
freeze large frozen food such as a tur-
key or game, the glass shelves between
the drawers can be removed.
Remove the upper freezer drawers.
Place the food flat on the upper glass
shelves so that it freezes through to
the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen:
Switch the SuperFreeze function
off.
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawers and push them back in.
Storage time for frozen food

The storage times given are guidelines only.
For standard freezing results, follow the
advice on packaging.
By keeping the freezer zone at a con-
stant temperature of -18°C and taking
appropriate hygiene measures you can
maximise the storage life of your food
and avoid food waste.
Cooling drinks quickly
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 and
damage.
Making ice cubes
55
Check and pay attention to the follow-
ing before switching the ice cube maker
on:
- The ice cube maker must be clean.
- The refrigeration appliance must be
switched on.
- Ice cubes can only be made when
the ice cube drawer is completely
closed.
- There is a clip-on container at the top
of the ice cube drawer. If you ever
need a larger quantity of ice cubes,
you can simply remove the clip-on
container. The ice cube maker then
automatically produces ice cubes un-
til the maximum fill level in the ice
cube drawer is reached.
Risk to health due to contamin-
ated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which
has been sitting in the water supply
lines for too long. This poses a risk to
your health.
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice
cubes made after the ice cube maker
is started up, as the water will have
been used for the initial rinsing of the
water supply line.
This applies to the initial commis-
sioning as well as when using the ice
cube maker again after it has been
switched off for an extended period
of time (more than 5days).
When commissioning the appliance
for the first time, it can take up to
24hours for the first ice cubes to drop
out of the ice cube maker and collect
in the drawer.
After the ice cube maker has been
turned off and on again, this process
lasts max. 6hours.
Only make normal domestic quantities
of ice cubes with the ice cube maker.
The ice cube maker can make up to
approx. 1.2kg of ice cubes in
24hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
appliance depends on the temperature
in the freezer section. The lower the
temperature, the more ice cubes
are produced in a certain period of
time.

will light up orange when the ice
cube maker is switched on.
Once the freezer section has cooled
down to its set temperature, the ice
cube maker will fill with water.
As soon as ice cubes are produced,
they will empty automatically from the
integrated ice cube tray and into the
clip-on container. The clip-on container
can be removed if required.
Ice cube production is halted automat-
ically when the clip-on container or the
ice cube drawer is full. The drawer will
not fill up to the top edge.
Tip: Increase the fill volume of ice
cubes by spreading the ice cubes out
evenly from time to time.
Tip: Empty the clip-on container or the
ice cube drawer at regular intervals, or if
you have not produced any ice for more
than a week. This will ensure that you
always have fresh ice and the ice cubes
will not form a clump.
The ice cube maker can be turned off
independently of the freezer section if
you do not want to make any ice
cubes.
If the ice cube maker is switched off,
food can be placed in the ice cube
drawer and frozen.
Push the ice cube drawer all the way
back in when you stop ice cube pro-
duction.
Defrosting
57
The appliance is equipped with a
NoFrost system. The refrigeration appli-
ance defrosts automatically.
The moisture generated in the appli-
ance collects on the condenser and is
automatically defrosted and dissipated
from time to time.
This automatic defrosting system en-
ables the refrigeration appliance to re-
main permanently ice-free. Food stored
in the freezer will not defrost with this
system.
Cleaning and care
58
The data plate located inside the in-
terior cabinet of the refrigeration appli-
ance must not be removed. It contains
information which is required in the
event of a fault.
Do not let water get into the elec-
tronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical com-
ponents.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used in the interior cabinet of the re-
frigeration appliance must be food
safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use the following:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. scour-
ing powder, scouring liquid or pumice
stones)
- Cleaning agents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Oven sprays
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes
(e.g. pot scourers)

Take any food out of the refrigeration
appliance and store it in a cool place.
Take out any removable accessories
for cleaning (see “Removing and dis-
mantling accessories for cleaning”).
Cleaning the inside of the ap-
pliance
The refrigeration appliance should be
cleaned regularly (at least once a
month).
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove under certain circumstances.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a cloth.
Leave the door open to air the refri-
geration appliance sufficiently for a
short while and to prevent odour
build-up.

Information to help you rectify faults yourself can be found at www.miele.com/ser-
vice.
The following tables are designed to help you to find the cause of a malfunction or
a fault and to resolve it.
To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door
while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Problem Cause and remedy
The refrigeration appli-
ance is not getting cold
and the interior lighting
does not come on when
the appliance door is
opened.
The refrigeration appliance is not switched on and
the symbol is lit up on the display.
Switch the refrigeration appliance on.
The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly.

continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less
cooling is required.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time. The
temperature in the refri-
geration appliance is
too low.
The ventilation gaps have been covered or become
too dusty.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
