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 coolant 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 11g of coolant at least 1m
3
of
room space is required. The amount of coolant in the refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
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.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
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).
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
This refrigeration appliance is not intended for use as a built-in ap-
pliance.
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
Warning and Safety instructions

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.
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.
Stainless steel appliances
Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to
lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,
transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive
on the stainless steel surface.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratching.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil-
ity.

imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your refrigeration appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
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
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.
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,
Warning and Safety instructions
12
- 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
13
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
Electronic and electrical 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 your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
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. By law, you are solely re-
sponsible for deleting any personal data
from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion appliance’s pipework before or dur-
ing transportation to an authorised col-
lection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
poses no risk to children while being
stored prior to disposal. For further in-
formation, see “Warning and Safety in-
structions” in these operating and in-
stallation instructions.

the inside of the appliance.
Removing the protective film
The stainless steel trim on the door
shelves and adjustable shelves has a
layer of protective film to prevent dam-
age during transportation. The appli-
ance door, and side panels where ap-
plicable, have a layer of protective film
too.
Do not remove the film until the refri-
geration appliance has been posi-
tioned in its final location.
Cleaning and care
Please refer to the relevant instruc-
tions in “Cleaning and care”.
Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories.
Connecting the appliance
Connect the appliance to the electri-
city supply as described in “Electrical
connection”.
Operating the appliance
A light touch of the finger on the
sensors is all that is required to operate
this appliance.
Switching on
Touch the On/Off sensor.
The temperature display will light up
and show the current temperature in the
appliance.
If the word DEMO appears in the dis-
play, demo mode is active. Please call
Miele Service.
The appliance will start to cool and the
interior lighting will come on when the
appliance door is opened.
Switching on and off
20
Switching off
Touch the On/Off sensor.
The temperature display will go out.
If this is does not happen, the safety
lock is still activated (see “Selecting
further settings - To activate/deactivate
the lock”).
The cooling system will be switched off.
Switching off for longer peri-
ods of time
If, during a long absence, the refri-
geration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door(s) left
shut, there is a risk of mould forming
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 the appliance off at the wall
socket and pull the plug out of the
socket, or disconnect the fuse.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odours building up in-
side.
The correct temperature
21
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.
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 that 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.
...in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the average, current
temperature in the refrigerator.
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.
The correct temperature
22
Setting the temperature
The two sensors next to the display are
used for setting the temperature.
Touch this sensor to lower the tem-
perature.
Touch this sensor to increase the
temperature.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
The following information can be
viewed in the display when the sensors
are touched:
- Touching a sensor once: the last
temperature selected flashes.
- Each subsequent touch of the
sensor: adjusts the temperature
shown in 1°C steps.
- Leaving a finger on the sensor
changes the temperature continu-
ously.
Approximately 5 seconds after the last
time a sensor has been touched, the
current temperature inside the appli-
ance is automatically shown.
Tip: If you have adjusted the temperat-
ure, wait for approx. 6 hours if the ap-
pliance is not very full and for approx.
24 hours if the appliance is full before
checking the temperature display, as it
will take this long for the appliance to
give an accurate reading. If, after this
time, the temperature is still too high or
too low you will need to reset it.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
2°C to 9°C.
Using Super cool and DynaCool
23
SuperCool function
The SuperCool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator section to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
SuperCool is particularly recommended
for the rapid chilling of large amounts of
fresh food or drink.
Switching on SuperCool
Touch the SuperCool sensor.
The SuperCool symbol will light up in
the display.
The appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the appliance.
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function switches off
automatically after approx. 6–12 hours.
The SuperCool symbol will go out
and the appliance will then continue to
work at normal power.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Touch the SuperCool sensor.
The SuperCool symbol in the display
will go out.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
Using Super cool and DynaCool
24
DynaCool function
When the DynaCool function is not
switched on, the natural circulation of
air in the appliance will cause different
temperature zones in the refrigerator as
the cold, heavy air will sink to the low-
est section of the appliance. You should
bear this in mind when placing food in
the appliance (see “Storing food in the
refrigerator section”).
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, it is a good idea to switch on
DynaCool. This way you can distribute
the temperature inside the appliance to
all areas more evenly so that all the
food will be chilled to about the same
degree.
The temperature is set as normal with
the temperature control.
DynaCool should also be selected
when:
- the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 30 °C), and
- the room humidity level is high.
Switching on DynaCool
Touch the DynaCool sensor.
The symbol will appear in the dis-
play.
The fan is running. With some appli-
ances it only switches on when the
compressor is running.
Switching off DynaCool
Because DynaCool requires more en-
ergy, you should switch it off under nor-
mal conditions.
Touch the DynaCool sensor.
The symbol in the display will go out
and the fan switches off.
To save energy, the fan switches off
automatically whilst the appliance
door is open.
Door alarm
25
An alarm will sound if the appliance
door has been left open for longer than
60seconds.
It will stop as soon as the door is
closed.
Switching the door alarm off
early

Storing food in the refrigerator section
27
Risk of explosion due to flam-
mable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans).
Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily food.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration appliance
or the appliance door, make sure
that it does not come into contact
with plastic components as this
could cause stress cracks or break
the plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks
onto the plastic parts of the refrigera-
tion appliance.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are
different temperature zones in the refri-
gerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-
tion of the refrigeration section. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
Tip: To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely together in
the appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will de-
crease and energy consumption will
increase.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
Tip: Do not store food in such a way
that it touches the rear wall of the refri-
gerator section as it may freeze to the
rear wall.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
28
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-
tion is directly above the fruit and ve-
getable drawer and at the back of the
appliance.
Use these areas to store all delicate and
highly perishable food such as:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals

it should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C)
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5°C, because it
may be sensitive to cold. Depending on
the type of food, the appearance, con-
sistency, flavour and/or vitamin content
may be altered if stored at too cold a
temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold in-
cludes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruit
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, courgettes
- Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan, moun-
tain cheese)
Storing food in the refrigerator section
29
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most im-
portant factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. trans-
porting food in a warm car, should be
kept to a minimum.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge
zone is covered or wrapped properly.
This will prevent food odours from af-
fecting other foods, stop food from dry-
ing out and also prevent any cross-con-
tamination of bacteria. This is particu-
larly important when storing meat
products. Make sure that food such as
raw meat and fish in particular does not
come into contact with other food.
By ensuring that the temperature set-
tings are correct and by taking appro-
priate hygiene measures you can pro-
long the storage life of your food con-
siderably and avoid food waste.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.
Protein-rich food
Please note that food rich in protein de-
teriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example, deterior-
ates faster than fish, and fish deterior-
ates faster than meat.
Adjusting the interior fittings
30
Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards
slightly until the notch at the side is in
line with the shelf support. It can then
be raised or lowered to the required
level.
The raised edge on the protective strip
at the back must face upwards to pre-
vent food from touching the back of the
appliance and freezing to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from be-
ing dislodged by mistake.
Adjusting the door shelf/bottle
shelf
Tip: Only move door shelves/bottle
shelves in the appliance door when they
are empty.
Push the door shelf/bottle shelf up-
wards, then remove it by pulling it for-
wards.
Replace the shelf at the required
height. Ensure that it is securely
pushed back into position.
Adjusting or removing the
bottle holder
The bottle holder can be moved left or
right to create more room for drink car-
tons.
The bottle holder can be removed com-
pletely (e.g. for cleaning):
Pull the bottle holder upwards to re-
move it from the rear edge of the
bottle shelf.
The bottle holder can be replaced after
cleaning.
Adjusting the interior fittings
31
Adjusting the bottle rack
The bottle rack can be placed at differ-
ent positions in the appliance.
Raise the bottle rack slightly at the
front, and pull it forwards a little until
the notch at the side is in line with the
shelf support. It can then be raised or
lowered to the required level.
The rear rail must face upwards to pre-
vent bottles from touching the back of
the appliance.
Stoppers prevent the bottle rack from
being dislodged by mistake.
Removing and replacing the
fruit and vegetable drawer
The fruit and vegetable drawer sits on
telescopic runners and can be removed
for loading and unloading, or cleaning.
Pull out the drawer as far as it will go,
and then lift it up and out.
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct handling.
After removing the drawer, the tele-
scopic runners are fully extended.
Push the telescopic runners back in.
Replacing the drawer
Place the drawer on the fully retrac-
ted telescopic runners.
Push the drawer into the appliance
until it clicks into position.
Defrosting
32
Refrigerator section
The refrigerator section defrosts auto-
matically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst the compressor is running. You
do not need to remove this, as it will de-
frost and evaporate automatically with
the warmth generated by the com-
pressor.
The condensate drains through a chan-
nel and drain pipe into an evaporation
system at the back of the refrigeration
appliance.
Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this. Con-
densate must be able to drain away
unhindered at all times.
Cleaning and care
33
Do not let water get into the elec-
tronic module or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and and electrical
components.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
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.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used inside the appliance must be
food safe.
To avoid damaging all the surfaces of
your appliance, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaner
- oven sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers
- melamine eraser blocks
- sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge,
lukewarm water with a little washing-up
liquid to clean surfaces of the appli-
ance.
The following pages contain important
information on cleaning.
Cleaning and care
34
Preparing the appliance for
cleaning
Switch the appliance off.
The temperature shown in the display
will go out and the cooling system
switches off.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Remove the shelves/bottle shelf from
the appliance door.
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning.
Dismantling an adjustable shelf
Before cleaning the shelf remove the
stainless steel trim at the front and the
protective strip at the back of the shelf.
To do this:
Place the shelf on a worktop covered
with a soft material (e.g. a tea towel).
Pull the stainless steel trim off the
shelf beginning at one side.
After cleaning the shelf reattach the
stainless steel trim and the protective
strip.
Cleaning and care
35
Cleaning the interior and ac-
cessories
The refrigeration appliance should be
cleaned regularly (at least once a
month).
Remove soiling immediately to pre-
vent it from drying on.
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 soft cloth.
Remove the stainless steel parts be-
fore cleaning the adjustable shelves in
a dishwasher.
Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odours building up.
The following parts cannot be cleaned
in a dishwasher:
- the stainless steel trim
- the protective strips at the back of
the adjustable shelves
- all drawers and the compartment lid
(depending on model)
- the bottle rack
These accessories should all be hand
washed.
Risk of damage as a result of ex-
cessively high dishwasher temperat-
ures.
Parts of the refrigeration appliance
may become unusable, e.g. deform,
if they are washed in the dishwasher
at more than 55°C.
For dishwasher-safe parts, only use
dishwasher programmes with a max-
imum temperature of 55°C.
Contact with natural dyes from car-
rots, tomatoes and ketchup, etc., may
discolour the plastic parts in the dish-
washer. This discolouration does not
affect the stability of the parts.
The following parts can be cleaned in
the dishwasher:
- the adjustable shelves (with the trim
and strips removed)
- bottle holder, butter dish, egg tray
(depending on model)
- the shelves and bottle shelf in the
door
the butter and cheese compartment
Cleaning and care
36
- the holder for the charcoal filter
(available as an optional accessory)
Cleaning the front of the appli-
ance and the side panels
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove. Surfaces may suffer discol-
ouration or damage.
Therefore, it is best to remove soiling
from the appliance front and side
panels immediately.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discol-
our the surfaces.
See the information on “Cleaning
agents” at the beginning of this sec-
tion.
Clean the surfaces with a clean
sponge and a solution of warm water
and washing-up liquid. A clean, damp
microfibre cloth without cleaning
agent can also be used.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel appliances
The appliance front has a high quality,
special finish (CleanSteel) which is res-
istant to soiling and is very easy to
clean.
Do not use stainless steel
cleaning agent on CleanSteel sur-
faces. It will damage them.
Do not use Miele stainless steel
conditioning agent on these sur-
faces. This will cause noticeable
smearing.
Cleaning and care
37
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (you could
use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting
brush, for example).
Cleaning the compressor and
metal grille at the back of the
appliance
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
Cables and other components can
get broken off, bent or damaged.
Carefully clean the compressor and
metal grille.
The compressor and metal grille at the
back of the refrigeration appliance (heat
exchanger) should be dusted at least
once a year.
Cleaning and care
38
Cleaning the door seal
If the door seal is damaged or has
slipped out of its groove, the appli-
ance door may not close properly
and cooling performance will be re-
duced. As a result, condensate will
build up in the interior cabinet and
this can cause a build-up of ice.
Do not damage the door seal and
ensure it does not slip out of its
groove.
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
If you treat the door seal with oils or
grease, it can become porous.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a cloth.
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
Switch on the Super cool function for
a while so that the appliance can cool
down quickly.
Place food back in the appliance and
close the door.
Problem solving guide

Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-
tion appliance.
Do not place appliances which give
off heat, such as mini-ovens, double
burner hobs or toasters on the refri-
geration appliance.
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.
Side-by-side installation
Risk of damage due to condens-
ation on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex-
ternal appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration
appliance models directly next to or
on top of one other.
However your refrigeration appliance
can be installed “side-by-side” because
it is equipped with built-in heating units
in the side panels.
Please contact your dealer for specific
information about which combinations
will work with your appliance.
Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your re-
frigeration appliance please bear in
mind that it will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a cooker or
other appliance that gives off heat. Dir-
ect sunlight should also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption is.
When installing the appliance, please
note:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The plug and cable must not touch
the rear of the appliance as they
could be damaged by vibrations from
the appliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind this appliance.
Risk of damage due to corrosion.
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

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. The climate range is stated
on the data plate in the interior cabinet
of the refrigeration appliance.
Climate range Ambient temper-
ature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
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.
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.

suitable switched socket. The electrical
installation must be in compliance with
current local and national safety regula-
tions, (e.g. VDE0100 in Germany / BS
7671 in the UK). We recommend the
use of a suitable RCD .
The socket must not be concealed be-
hind the appliance and must be easily
accessible so that the appliance can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical
supply in case of an emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible
after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole con-
tact gap of at least 3mm. These in-
clude miniature circuit breakers, fuses
and contactors (EN60335).
The mains plug and mains connection
cable must not come into contact with
the back of the appliance as vibrations
can cause damage to these compon-
ents. This could result in a short circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
this appliance.
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).
Do not connect the appliance to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous energy source e.g.
solar power.
When the appliance is switched on,
power surges could result in a safety
switch-off. This could damage the elec-
tronic module. The appliance must not
be used with so-called energy saving
devices either. These reduce the
amount of energy supplied to the appli-
ance, causing it to overheat.
If the mains cable needs to be replaced,
this must be performed by a qualified
electrician.
