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
8
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.
The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
Please note the following advice for ice cube production:
- Only use cold, fresh tap water to fill the water container. Hot water
and other liquids could damage the water container or the ice
cube maker.
- Change the water in the water container regularly (if not used for
more than 24h) and always empty and refill it before switching on
the ice cube maker to ensure that the ice cubes are made with
fresh water. This will prevent bacteria from building up.
- Do not use water from a reverse osmosis unit in this appliance.
This could damage the refrigeration appliance.
Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
This refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special lamp to
cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only
be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suit-
able for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a
Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service De-
partment. This refrigeration appliance contains several light sources
with at least energy efficiency classG.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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
11
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.
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.
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.
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
12
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.
Caring for the environment
14
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.

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.
Empty the ice cube drawer.
Take the water container out of the
appliance, empty it, then clean and
dry it.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odours building up in-
side.
It is also advisable to carry out the last
two instructions if you are switching
the refrigerator section off for a longer
period of time.
The correct temperature
29
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.
...in the freezer section
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 temper-
atures achieved when cooking destroy
most bacteria.

Temperature range
- The temperature in the refrigerator
section can be adjusted from1to
9°C.
- The temperature in the freezer sec-
tion can be adjusted from -16°C to
-26°C.
Tip: If you have adjusted the temperat-
ure, wait for approx. 6hours if the ap-
pliance is not very full and for approx.
24hours 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 adjust it again.
Using Super cool and Super freeze
32
The following functions can be selec-
ted, depending on section.
- Refrigerator section
Super cool
- Freezer section
Super freeze
Super cool function
The Super cool function can be used to
rapidly reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator section to its lowest setting
(depending on the room temperature).
Tip: Super cool is particularly recom-
mended for the rapid chilling of large
amounts of fresh food or drink.
When Super cool is switched on, the
appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the appliance.
It switches itself off automatically after
approx. 12hours.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
Super cool function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
After switching Super cool off the appli-
ance reverts to working at normal
power.
Super freeze function
For optimum results switch on the Su-
per freeze function before putting fresh
food into the freezer section. This helps
food to freeze quickly and retain its nu-
trients, vitamins, flavours and appear-
ance.
Exceptions:
- When placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen
- When freezing up to 1kg of fresh
food daily
The SuperFreeze function should be
switched on 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.
When SuperFreeze is switched on, the
appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the freezer.
The SuperFreeze function will switch it-
self off automatically after approx.
65hours. The quantity of fresh food
placed in the freezer will determine the
time before the SuperFreeze function
turns off.
Tip: To save energy, you can manually
switch off SuperFreeze once the freezer
reaches a constant temperature of
-18°C or colder. Monitor the temperat-
ure in the freezer section.
When SuperFreeze is switched off, the
appliance will run at normal power
again.

Temperature and door alarm
34
The appliance has a warning system
which ensures that the temperature in
the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to
avoid energy being wasted if a door is
left open.
Temperature alarm
Health risk caused by decom-
posing food.
If the temperature in the freezer sec-
tion remains above -18°C for a long
time, the frozen goods can start to
defrost. This will reduce the storage
life of the food.
Check whether the frozen goods
have started to defrost. If they have,
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.
If the temperature in the freezer section
becomes too warm,
will light up red
in the freezer section temperature dis-
play.
An alarm will also sound until the cause
of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is
switched off.
The temperature the appliance is set at
determines the temperature the appli-
ance recognises as being too warm.
The temperature alarm is only dis-
played on the start screen and not
when selecting a setting.
A temperature alarm is displayed be-
fore an existing door alarm.
The audible and visual signals will be
activated if:
- You switch on the refrigeration appli-
ance and the temperature in a tem-
perature zone differs greatly from the
set temperature.
- A lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when you are rearranging or
taking out frozen goods.
- You are freezing large amounts of
food at once.
- You are freezing warm food.
- There was a mains outage.
- The refrigeration appliance has a
fault.
The alarm will stop and
will go out
as soon as the temperature has
dropped down to the correct level
again.

Explanation of the different
Settings
Switching Party mode on or off
This function is particularly useful if you
need to cool or freeze large quantities
of food and drink quickly and make ice
cubes, for example, if you are expecting
a large number of guests.
Super cool and Super freeze are
switched on automatically:
The refrigerator section as well as the
freezer section cool down very rapidly
to their lowest temperature (depending
on the ambient temperature).
Tip: Switch the function on approx.
4hours before placing food in the appli-
ance.
If Party mode cannot be switched on,
the refrigerator section has been
switched off separately or Holiday
mode is switched on.
Party mode will switch off automatically
after approx. 20 hours. You can switch
it off earlier at any time.
If previously switched on, Party mode
will switch off if there is an interruption
to the power supply.
Selecting further settings
41
Switching Holiday mode on/off
This function is useful when you go on
holiday if you do not wish to switch the
refrigerator section off completely and
do not need a high degree of cooling.
The refrigerator section is regulated at a
temperature of 15°C, remaining in op-
eration whilst also saving energy.
As a result of the higher temperature
during Holiday mode, the storage life
of the food is reduced.
Do not store any temperature-sensit-
ive food which goes off easily such
as fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and
dairy products during this time.
Empty the water container and
switch the ice cube maker off.
Food which does not go off quickly can
be stored in the appliance for some
time at this moderate refrigerator sec-
tion temperature and energy consump-
tion is lower than in normal operation.
This also prevents the build-up of
odours and mould which can occur if
the refrigerator section is switched off
and the door is closed.
When the Holiday mode is switched on,
it is indicated on the start screen:

Switching the ice cube makeron
and off
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
appliance again after it has been
turned off for a long time.
Only make normal domestic quantities
of ice cubes with the ice cube maker.
Please note:
- When using 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.
- Make sure that the ice cube drawer is
empty before switching on the ice
cube maker.
- Ice cubes can only be made when
the ice cube drawer is completely
closed.
If lights up in the display, the ice
cube maker is not being supplied with
sufficient water.
Check whether there is water in the
water container.
The ice cube maker can be turned off
independently of the refrigeration appli-
ance if:
- You do not want to make any ice
cubes.
- You switch Holiday mode on.
- You switch the refrigerator section off
separately.
Tip: If the ice cube maker is switched
off, the ice cube drawer can be used as
an extra drawer for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen food.
You cannot switch Super freeze or the
ice cube maker off when Party mode
is switched on.
After a mains outage, the ice cube
maker will, if it was previously
switched on, be deactivated after
power is restored.
–Additional functions
After switching the ice cube maker on,
the function “Ice cube tray: set to clean-
ing position ” will appear in the dis-
play in Settings mode.

will then appear in the display and
an audible tone will sound (if switched
on).
Tip: The ventilation grille should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a brush
or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the dusting
brush for Miele vacuum cleaners).
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.

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.
This appliance has automatic Dynamic
cooling, which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running,
making the difference between the
various zones is less pronounced.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
50
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.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the DailyFresh 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
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products
- Pre-packed vegetables
- Other fresh food (with a label stating
it should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C)
Tip: Store food in such a way that it
does not touch the rear wall of the
fridge zone. Otherwise it could freeze to
the rear wall.
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

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 in packaging or covered prop-
erly (some exceptions apply in the
DailyFresh drawer). This will prevent
food odours from affecting other food,
stop food from drying out and also pre-
vent any cross-contamination of bac-
teria. This is particularly important when
storing meat products. Make sure that
food such as raw meat and fish in par-
ticular 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. This prevents food waste.
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.
Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
52
The DailyFresh drawer provides good
storage conditions for fruit and veget-
ables.
The humidity level in the DailyFresh
drawer can also be regulated to suit the
food being stored. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and so does not dry out as quickly. The
temperature is approximately equivalent
to the temperature in the refrigerator
section.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Regulating the humidity level in the
DailyFresh drawer
A slide control is used to regulate the
amount of moisture present.
Slide control at = moisture not in-
creased
For hygiene reasons always keep these
foods covered or wrapped.
Slide control at = moisture in-
creased
This setting is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
The slide control closes the vents in the
drawer so the moisture cannot escape.
The moisture level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
If the quantity of food being stored in
this compartment is small, the humidity
level may be too low.
Tip: If you are only storing a small
amount of food, wrap it in airtight pack-
aging.
Increased moisture in the drawer
can, in some circumstances, cause a
build-up of condensate.
Wipe off any condensate with a
cloth.
Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
53
Storage results for food stored
in the DailyFresh drawer
Observe the following tips if you find
that food you have stored does not
keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or
wilts after only being stored for a
short time):
- Only place fresh food in the appli-
ance. The initial condition of the food
is crucial to maintaining freshness.
- Clean the drawer before storing food
in it.
- Very wet food should be dried off be-
fore storing it.
- Do not store food which is sensitive
to cold in the drawer (see “Food
which is not suitable for storing in the
refrigerator section”).
- Set the slide control to the correct
position for the food being stored (hu-
midity not increased or humidity in-
creased).
- An increased humidity level in the
humidity controlled compartment is
achieved by the moisture present in
the food being stored, i.e. the more
food stored in the compartment, the
higher the humidity.
If too much moisture collects in the
compartment at the setting and
the food is affected, dry the floor with
a cloth, and place a rack or similar
item in the compartment so that ex-
cess moisture can drip down.
If the humidity level becomes too low,
wrap the food in airtight packaging.

Adjusting the door/bottle shelf
Only move door/bottle shelves when
they are empty.
Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,
then remove it by pulling it forwards.
Replace the shelf at the required
height. Ensure that it is securely
pushed back into position.
Moving the adjustable shelf/
adjustable shelf with lighting
By adjusting the position of the ad-
justable shelf with lighting in the refri-
gerator section, you can change the il-
lumination in this section according to
your needs.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from be-
ing dislodged by mistake.
The shelves can be adjusted accord-
ing to the height of the refrigerated
goods:
1. Lift it upwards slightly at the front.
2. Pull it forwards a little and lift it until
the notch at the side is in line with
the shelf support. It can then be
raised or lowered to the required
level.
Push the shelf in until it clicks into po-
sition.
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.

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.

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.
Moving the charcoal filters
When storing very strong smelling
food (e.g. very ripe cheese):
- Place the holder with the charcoal fil-
ters on the shelf where this food is
kept.
- Change the filters sooner if neces-
sary.
- Use more charcoal filters (with hold-
ers) in the appliance (see “Accessor-
ies - Optional accessories”).
The holder for the charcoal filters sits
on the protective strip at the back of the
shelf.
Pull the charcoal filter holder upwards
to remove it from the protective strip.
Refit it on the protective strip of the
shelf you wish to use it on.
Freezing and storing food
57
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”.
Freezing fresh food
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.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells,
which then shrink. During the defrosting
process, only some of this water is re-
absorbed by the cells. What this means
in practice is that the food loses more
moisture. You can see this in the large
amount of water that collects around
the food when it defrosts.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink less. As there is not so much
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to
reabsorb it during the defrosting pro-
cess, and very little water collects
around the defrosted food.
Storing frozen food
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check:
- That the packaging is not damaged
- The use-by date
- The temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the shop.
The length of time food can be kept
is reduced if it has been stored at a
temperature warmer than -18°C.
Buy frozen food once you have fin-
ished the rest of your shopping and
wrap it in newspaper or use a cool
bag or cool box to transport it.
Put it into the freezer as soon as pos-
sible.
Freezing and storing food
58
Home freezing
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Before placing food in the appliance
When freezing more than 1kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function for some time before placing
the food in the freezer (see “Using
SuperCool and SuperFreeze – Super-
Freeze function”).
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing frozen food in the freezer
Risk of damage caused by load-
ing too much food.
Loading food which is too heavy can
cause damage to the freezer draw-
ers/glass shelves.
Do not exceed the relevant maximum
load size:
Freezer drawer = 25kg
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.
–Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
Place the frozen food flat in the bot-
tom of the freezer drawers so that it
freezes through to the core as quickly
as possible.
–Freezing the maximum amount of
food (see data plate)
If the ventilation slots are blocked the
cooling performance will decrease
and energy consumption will in-
crease.
When placing food in the freezer,
make sure that the ventilation slots
are not blocked.
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:
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.
Freezing and storing food
59
Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of
-18°C. Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. For example, fat
can become rancid from contact with
oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide val-
ues for the storage life of different food
groups in the freezer zone.
Food group Storage
time
(Months)
Ice cream 2to6
Bread, baked goods 2to6
Cheese 2to4
Fish, oily 1to2
Fish, lean 1to5
Sausage, ham 1to3
Game, pork 1to12
Poultry, beef 2to10
Vegetables, fruit 6to18
Herbs 6to10
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.
Defrosting frozen goods
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Frozen goods can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
- In a microwave oven
- In an oven using “Fan heat” or the
“Defrost” setting
- At room temperature
- In the refrigerator zone (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to
keep the other food cold)
- In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat
or fish can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken,
fish fillets) should not come into contact
with other foods while defrosting. Catch
the liquid from defrosting and dispose
of it carefully.
Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-
perature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh veget-
ables due to changes in the cell struc-
ture.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator
section, switch on the SuperCool func-
tion.
Freezing and storing food
60
If you want to cool a large amount of
drinks, or if you want to cool drinks in
the freezer section, select Party
mode in Settings mode.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour. Otherwise
they could burst.
Tip: To avoid forgetting about bottles
placed in the freezer you can set the
minute minder (QuickCool timer) in
Settings mode.
Making ice cubes
Switching the ice cube maker on and
off
For instructions on how to switch the
ice cube make on and off see “Select-
ing further settings” - “Switching the
ice cube maker on and off”.
Making a large amount of ice cubes
The amount of ice cubes produced de-
pends on the temperature in the freezer.
The lower the temperature, the more ice
cubes are produced within a given time.
At a temperature of -18°C, approx. 1kg
of ice cubes will be produced within
24hours.
Tip: If you require a large amount of ice
cubes, replace the full ice cube drawer
with the drawer beside it on the right.
The ice maker will begin to produce ice
cubes again as soon as this drawer has
been placed in position and closed
properly.

Adjusting the interior fittings
Removing the drawers and glass
shelves
The drawers can be removed for filling,
emptying or cleaning purposes.
You can also expand the space avail-
able in the freezer section. If you wish to
freeze large items such as a turkey or
game, the glass shelves between the
drawers can be removed.
Pull out the drawer as far as it will go,
and then lift it up and out.
Lift the glass shelf slightly, then pull it
forward and out.
Using accessories
Using the cool pack
The cool pack prevents the temperature
in the freezer zone from rising too
quickly in the event of a power cut. This
can help prolong the storage life.
Place the cool pack in the top drawer
of the freezer zone.
The cool pack will be at its most effect-
ive after it has been in the freezer for
approx. 24hours.
–In the event of a power cut
Place the frozen cool pack directly on
top of the frozen food in the front of
the top drawer.
Tip: When placing fresh food in the
freezer, use the cool pack to separate
the fresh food from the food which is
already frozen so that the frozen food
does not begin to thaw.
Defrosting
62
Fridge zone and DailyFresh
drawer
The fridge zone and the DailyFresh
drawer defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the fridge zone and the
DailyFresh drawer whilst the com-
pressor is running. You do not need to
remove this.
The condensate drains through a chan-
nel and drain hole into an evaporation
system at the back of the refrigeration
appliance. The warmth generated by
the compressor causes the condensate
to evaporate automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this. Con-
densate must be able to drain away
unhindered at all times.
Freezer section
The appliance is equipped with a
“NoFrost” system. The freezer 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 freezer to remain permanently
ice-free. Food stored in the freezer will
not defrost with this system.
Cleaning and care
63
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.

Removing the water container
Risk to health due to contamin-
ated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which
has been sitting in the water con-
tainer or the water supply lines for
several days. This poses a risk to
your health.
Change the water in the water con-
tainer every day.
You should also always empty and
refill it before switching on the ice
cube maker to ensure that the ice
cubes are made with fresh water.
If the water container has not been
used for more than 24h, empty it
and clean it thoroughly before re-
filling.
You should also clean the water con-
tainer before switching off the appliance
or the ice cube maker for a long time.
Dry the water container carefully.
When cleaning the water container,
also ensure that the valve, the under-
side of the water container and the

- the protective strips at the back of
the adjustable shelves
- the drip tray (underneath the water
container)
- all drawers and the compartment lid
(depending on model)
- the bottle rack
- the cool pack
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:
- bottle holder, butter dish, egg tray
(depending on model)
- the water container and its lid
- the bottle shelf and shelves in the
door (with stainless steel trim re-
moved)
- the adjustable shelves (with the trim/
strips removed and without the print-
ing)
- the roller runners
- the holder for the charcoal filters
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently so that con-
densate can drain away unhindered.
Use a straw or similar to clear the
drain if necessary.
Take the DailyFresh drawer out to do
this.
Cleaning and care
70
Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odours building up.
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.
Appliance front
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
The front finish (CleanSteel) will be
damaged.
Do not use a stainless steel clean-
ing agent on this surface.
The appliance front has a high quality,
special finish (CleanSteel). It is resistant
to soiling and is very easy to clean.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation grille should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners).
Tip: If you want to be reminded auto-
matically every 12 months, switch the
“Clean ventilation grille” reminder on
(see “Selecting further settings – Clean
ventilation grille reminder”).

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.
Replacing the charcoal filters
Replace the charcoal filters in the
holder every 6months.
If you would like to be reminded auto-
matically every 6months, switch on the
“Replace charcoal filter” reminder (see
“Selecting further settings – Replace
charcoal filter reminder”).
Replacement KKF-RF charcoal filters
can be obtained from the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department, from your
dealer or from Miele's website.
Tip: The charcoal filter holder is dish-
washer-safe.
Pull the charcoal filter holder upwards
to remove it from the adjustable shelf.
When in position, the charcoal filters
must not touch the rear wall of the
refrigeration appliance as the mois-
ture could cause them to stick to it.
Insert the new charcoal filters deep
enough in the holder to ensure that
they do not protrude over the edge
of the holder.
Cleaning and care
72
Remove both charcoal filters and
place the new filters with the sur-
rounding edge pointing downwards in
the holder.

Problem solving guide
73
Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be
needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,
and to correct 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 appliance is not
getting cold and the in-
terior lighting does not
come on when the door
is opened.
The appliance has not been switched on.
Switch the appliance on.
The mains plug is not inserted in the socket correctly
or the plug connector is not inserted into the socket
at the back of the appliance correctly.
Insert the mains plug into the mains socket and
the plug connector into the appliance socket cor-
rectly and switch on.
Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. There
could be a fault with the appliance, the household
electrical wiring or another electrical appliance.
Contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
The compressor runs
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.
Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The appliance doors have been opened too fre-
quently, or a large amount of fresh food has been
placed inside and/or frozen at the same time.
Only open the appliance doors when necessary
and for as short a time as possible.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
The appliance doors are not closed properly. A thick
layer of ice may have formed in the freezer.
Close the appliance doors.
Problem solving guide
74
Problem Cause and remedy
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
If a thick layer of ice has already formed, this will af-
fect cooling and increase energy consumption.
Defrost the refrigeration appliance and clean it.
The ambient room temperature is too high. The
higher the ambient temperature, the longer the com-
pressor has to run.
See “Installation – Location”.
The temperature setting in the refrigeration appliance
is too low.
Correct the temperature setting.
A large amount of food is being frozen at once.
See “Freezing and storing food”.
The SuperCool function is still switched on.
You can switch off the SuperCool function earlier
to save energy.
The SuperFreeze function is still switched on.
You can switch off the SuperFreeze function earlier
to save energy.
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The temperat-
ure in the refrigeration
appliance rises.
This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too
high.
Correct the temperature setting.
Check the temperature again after 24hours.
The frozen food begins to defrost.
The ambient temperature is too low for this refrigera-
tion appliance.
If the ambient temperature is too low, the com-
pressor will run less frequently. This may cause the
freezer section to become too warm.
See the information in “Installation – Installation
site”.
Increase the ambient temperature.

Installation
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.
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.
Your refrigeration appliance must not be
installed “side-by-side” because it is
not equipped with built-in heating units
in the side panels.
If you want to place several refrigeration
appliances next to each other, a dis-
tance of 100mm must be maintained
between them.
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
sufficient ventilation.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance doors close properly, the
ventilation gaps are not covered and
that the refrigeration appliance has
been installed in accordance with
these installation instructions.
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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
91
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.
Fitting supplied wall spacers
The wall spacers supplied must be
used in order to achieve declared en-
ergy consumption values and to pre-
vent the build-up of condensation at
high ambient temperatures. The appli-
ance depth is increased by approx.
15mm with the wall spacers fitted. If
the wall spacers are not used, the
functionality of the appliance is not af-
fected. Energy consumption is only
slightly increased with less distance
between the appliance and the wall.
Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the refrigeration appliance on the bot-
tom left and right.

* The appliance depth is increased by
approx. 15mm for refrigeration appli-
ances with wall spacers fitted.
The refrigeration appliance can be built
into any run of kitchen units and in-
stalled directly next to a kitchen fur-
niture housing unit. The appliance front
must protrude in front of furniture fronts
by at least 65mm. This enables the ap-
pliance door to be opened and shut
without being obstructed. To match the
height of the rest of the kitchen units,
the refrigeration appliance can be fitted
with a suitable top box.
When installed next to a wall, a dis-
tance of at least 40mm must be main-
tained on the hinge side between the
wall and the refrigeration appli-
ance.
The larger the ventilation gap, the

Changing the door hinging
The refrigeration appliance is supplied
with hinges on the right. If left-hand
hinging is required, the hinges must be
changed.
Always change the door hinging
with the assistance of another per-
son.
If the door seal is damaged or has
slipped out of its groove, the door
will not close properly and cooling
performance will be reduced. Con-
densate will build up in the interior
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.

Electrical connection
The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected to an earthed socket using
the connection cable supplied.
Appliance plug connector
Mains plug
A longer connection cable is available
to order from the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department.
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 A residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-
tion for connecting the refrigeration ap-
pliance.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
113
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 qualified elec-
trician.
Do not connect the refrigeration appli-
ance to a stand-alone inverter such as
those used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power. When the refri-
geration appliance is switched on,
power surges could result in an auto
switch-off. This could damage the elec-
tronic module.
Connecting the appliance
Insert the plug connector into the
socket at the back of the refrigeration
appliance.
Make sure that the plug connector has
clicked into position correctly.
Insert the mains plug into the mains
socket and switch on.
The appliance is now connected to the
electricity supply:
will appear on the display.
Follow the steps described in “Switch-
ing on and off – Switching on”.
