Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The wine con-
ditioning unit complies with statutory safety requirements.
This wine conditioning unit contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant
does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to the
greenhouse effect.
The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the
noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compres-
sor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the cooling
circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not affect
the performance of the wine conditioning unit.
When transporting and installing the wine conditioning unit, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of coolant
can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine conditioning unit from the electricity supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes.
- Contact Miele Service.
The more coolant there is in a wine conditioning unit, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the
wine conditioning is in a small room, there is the danger of com-
bustible gases building up. For every 0.38oz (11g) of coolant at
least 35.3 cubic feet (1m
3
) of room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the wine conditioning unit is stated on the data plate in-
side the wine conditioning unit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
To avoid the risk of damage to the wine conditioning unit, 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 wine conditioning
unit. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of the wine conditioning unit can only be
guaranteed when correctly grounded. It is essential that this stan-
dard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the elec-
trical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of the wine conditioning unit can only
be guaranteed if it is connected to the power supply.
The electrical outlet must not be concealed behind the wine con-
ditioning unit and must be easily accessible so that the appliance
can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an
emergency.
If the power cord supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced
by an original part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are
used.
The electrical outlet must be properly grounded.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord,
it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the wine
conditioning in areas where there may be moisture or splashing wa-
ter (e.g., garages, laundry rooms).
This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).

dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your
wine conditioning unit, please bear in
mind that it will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a range, or an-
other appliance that gives off heat. Di-
rect sunlight should also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption of the
wine conditioning unit is.
When installing the wine conditioning
unit, please note the following:
- The electrical socket must be easily
accessible in an emergency and not
concealed behind the appliance.
- The plug and power cord must not
touch the rear of the wine condition-
ing unit as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind the wine conditioning unit.
If installation near a heat source is un-
avoidable, observe the following mini-
mum distances between the appliance
and the heat source:
- At least 1 1/4" (3cm) to electric or
gas stoves
- At least 11 3/4" (30cm) to oil or coal-
based stoves
If it is not possible to observe these
minimum distances, an isolation plate
must be installed between the Wine
conditioning unit and the heat source.

Climate class
This wine storage unit is designed for
use in climate class SN-T (room tem-
perature range). Do not use in a climate
class for which it is not designed.
Climate class Room tempera-
ture
SN 50°F to 90°F/
+10°C to +32°C
N 60°F to 90°F/
+16°C to +32°C
ST 60°F to 100°F/
+16to +38°C
T 60°F to 109°F/
+16to +43°C
A lower room temperature will cause
the compressor to switch off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the wine storage unit to
rise with the risk of wine deteriorating
and going off.
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on the ex-
ternal wine conditioning unit panels,
which can cause corrosion.

Preparing the installation niche
Risk of damage and injury from
the wine conditioning unit tipping
over.
The wine conditioning unit is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance door is open.
The installation niche must be se-
cured to the wall behind it and/or
above it with several screws. Only
this can ensure that the wine condi-
tioning unit will not tip over after be-
ing installed in the installation niche.
In addition, use the provided anti-tip
brackets to secure the installation
niche.
Parts required for installation are sup-
plied with the wine conditioning unit.
The plastic bags supplied are marked
with letters for easy identification.
When performing the individual as-
sembly steps, observe the letters
specified and use the matching plas-
tic bag with the required installation
equipment.
The anti-tip brackets prevent the wine
conditioning unit from tipping.
The anti-tip brackets are also used to fix
the installation niche securely to the
surrounding walls.
Use 2 anti-tip brackets for each in-
dividual appliance or 4 anti-tip brack-
ets for each (side-by-side) combina-
tion of 2 appliances.
Position the anti-tip brackets on
the left and right of the niche.
Depending on the subsequent adjust-
ment of the feet, the anti-tip brackets
are positioned 84"-85 3/16" (2,134–
2,164mm) from the floor of the niche.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
30
Danger of injury and damage to
the appliance due to the wine condi-
tioning unit tipping over.
If the anti-tip brackets are fixed too
high up, they cannot be used to se-
cure the wine conditioning unit.
The distance between the anti-tip
brackets and the wine conditioning
unit must not exceed 5/16" (8mm).
Make sure that the gap between the
wine conditioning unit‘s rear wall and
the installation niche does not exceed
2" (51mm).
Place a wooden wedge behind the
anti-tip brackets if necessary.
While holding the anti-tip brackets in
place, mark the necessary drill holes
on the rear wall of the installation
niche.
Retaining screws for different uses
and types of material are supplied in
the accompanying pack.

Securing with a wooden wedge
Secure the installation niche to the
wall behind it and/or above it as re-
quired using the anti-tip brackets .
Pushing the wine conditioning unit
into the niche
Then push the wine conditioning unit
into the niche, taking care not to
damage the electrical cord.
If you are installing several appliances
side by side, secure the wine condi-
tioning units/refrigeration appliances
to one another now (see the installa-
tion instructions for the side-by-side
installation kit).
To ensure that the wine conditioning
unit can then be aligned correctly, the
toe-kick ventilation grille must be re-
moved from the appliance toe-kick:
Carefully guide a flat-head screw-
driver through the toe-kick ventilation
grille on both sides and use it to
push the internal plastic latches out-
wards to release the toe-kick ventila-
tion grille.
Place the toe-kick ventilation grille to
one side.

Affix edge protection to the adja-
cent cabinet fronts.
Insert the plug connector at the back
of the wine conditioning unit (see “In-
stallation – Electrical connection”).
Insert the plug into the electrical
socket.
The electrical socket should be close
to the wine conditioning unit and
easily accessible.
Risk of damage due to electrical
overload.
If the wine conditioning unit is electri-
cally overloaded, this can cause a
short circuit and therefore damage to
your appliance.
When you install appliances side by
side, each appliance must have its
own separate electrical socket.
Tip: Secure the power cord to prevent it
becoming caught: tie a piece of string
to the middle of the power cord and as
the wine conditioning unit is being
pushed into the niche, pull the cord for-
ward underneath the appliance.
Push the wine conditioning unit care-
fully into the installation niche.
If the wine conditioning unit cannot
be pushed into the niche (because
the floor is uneven, for example), un-
screw the rear feet slightly (see “In-
stallation – Aligning the wine condi-
tioning unit”) and slide the appliance
into the installation niche.
Remove the edge protection from
the adjacent cabinet fronts.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*

Electrical connection
Risk of electric shock!
The wine conditioning unit must only
be switched on when it has been in-
stalled in accordance with the instal-
lation instructions.
Ground the wine conditioning unit.
The wine conditioning unit must not
be grounded via a gas pipe.
If in doubt, have a suitably qualified
and experienced electrician check
that the wine conditioning unit com-
plies with relevant regulations.
Do not install a fuse into neutral cur-
rent or grounding electrical circuit.
Do not use an extension cord or
power bar.
Do not use a frayed or damaged
power cord.
Risk of electric shock!
For protection against electric shock,
this wine conditioning unit is
equipped with a pole-free plug which
is protected against reverse polarity.
The plug must be grounded in the
usual way.
Do not remove the round grounding
connector pin from the plug.
Use only a grounded plug adapter.
Wait for 1hour after installation before
plugging the wine conditioning unit into
the power supply. This allows coolant
and refrigerator oil to settle in accor-
dance with regulations.
Ensure that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds to the connection
voltage of the wine conditioning unit. A
power supply of 110–120V, 60Hz and
10 –16Amps, which is protected by a
power switch or a fuse, is required to
operate the wine conditioning unit.
The manufacturer recommends operat-
ing the wine conditioning unit on a sep-
arate circuit to avoid overloading the
electrical circuit.
All relevant legal electrical, fire, and
building regulations must be observed
when installing the outlet and/or the
wine conditioning unit.
In certain countries, wine conditioning
units are required to be connected to
the electrical supply via a wall-mounted
ON/OFF switch.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock,
or other injuries, the wine conditioning
unit must be installed and connected by
a suitably qualified electrician in accor-
dance with all relevant local and na-
tional regulations and standards, in-
cluding fire prevention.
The outlet must be easily accessible so
that the wine conditioning unit can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical
supply in case of an emergency.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
51
If the outlet is no longer accessible after
installation, an additional means of dis-
connection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole con-
tact gap of at least 1/8" (3 mm). These
can be circuit breakers, fuses, and re-
lays.
The plug and power cord must not
come into contact with the back of the
wine conditioning unit as vibrations can
cause damage to these components.
This could result in a short circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
the wine conditioning unit.
Do not connect the wine conditioning
unit to a stand-alone inverter such as
those used with an autonomous energy
source; for example, solar power.
When the wine conditioning unit is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. The electronic
unit could be damaged. The wine con-
ditioning unit must not be used with
what are known as energy-saving de-
vices either. These reduce the amount
of energy supplied to the unit, causing it
to overheat.
If the power cord needs to be replaced,
this must be done by a qualified techni-
cian.
Connecting the wine storage unit
Insert the electrical plug into the back
of the wine storage unit.
Make sure that the electrical plug has
clicked into position correctly.
Insert the wine storage unit’s plug
into the electrical socket.

The ideal temperature and humidity
78
Wine continues to mature depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
The wine conditioning unit with its con-
stant ideal temperature, increased air
humidity and odor-free atmosphere of-
fers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
The wine conditioning unit also guaran-
tees a vibration-free environment (in
contrast to a refrigerator) so that the
maturing process is not disturbed.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 42° and 64°F (6° and 18°C). If
you are storing white and red wines to-
gether, select a temperature between
53° and 57°F (12° and 14°C). This is
suitable for both white and red wines.
Red wine should be taken out of the
wine conditioning unit and opened at
least two hours before drinking to allow
it to breathe and develop its aroma.
At too high a temperature (over 72°F /
22°C), wine matures too quickly, which
prevents the aromas from developing
further. Wine cannot mature fully at too
low a temperature (below 41°F / 5°C).
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
Type of wine Recommended
drinking temper-
ature
Light, fruity red
wines:
57° to 61°F (14°
to 16°C)
Full-bodied
red wines:
64°F (18°C)
Rosé wines: 46° to 50°F (8° to
10°C)
Delicate, aromatic
white wines:
46° to 54°F (8° to
12°C)
Full-bodied or
sweet white
wines:
46° to +57°F (12°
to 14°C)
Champagne,
sparkling white
wines:
43° to 50°F (6° to
10°C)
Tip: Store the wine 1° or 2° cooler than
the recommended drinking temperature
as it warms up a little when poured into
the glass.
Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened
for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow it
to breathe and develop its aroma.
Tip: We recommend removing the oxy-
gen from opened bottles of wine to
avoid loss of aroma and taste, as well
as spoiling. Special devices (a wine
pump with bottle stopper, for example)
create a vacuum by extracting the air.
The ideal temperature and humidity
79
Isolator panels for thermal separation
The wine conditioning unit has two
fixed isolator panels that divide the inte-
rior into three zones, which can be con-
ditioned in different ways. This means
that you can store up to three different
types of wine at the same time – for ex-
ample, red wine, white wine, and cham-
pagne.
Setting the temperature
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
The previously set temperatures for the
3wine conditioning zones are dis-
played.
Use the and sensor controls to
select the wine conditioning zone for
which you want to adjust the temper-
ature and select OK to confirm your
selection.
Use the and sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your fin-
ger on the sensor control changes
the temperature continuously.
Confirm the temperature setting with
OK or wait approx. 8seconds after
the last touch of the sensor. This tem-
perature will be automatically
adopted.
Tip: The new temperature setting can
also be confirmed and adopted by clos-
ing the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6hours if the wine
conditioning unit is not very full and
for approx. 24hours if the wine con-
ditioning unit is full before checking
the temperature display. It will take this
long for an accurate reading to be
given.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
The ideal temperature and humidity
80
Temperature range
In all three zones, it is possible to set
temperatures between 41°F and 68°F
(5°C and 20°C).
Humidity
In most refrigerators the humidity is too
low for wine and therefore a refrigerator
is not suitable for wine conditioning.
Higher humidity levels are necessary
when storing wine to moisturize natural
corks from the outside. When the hu-
midity is too low the natural corks dry
out and the bottle is no longer tightly
sealed. For this reason wine bottles
should always be stored horizontally to
ensure that natural corks are also mois-
turized from the inside. If air gets into
the bottle, this will have a negative im-
pact on the wine!
Tip: Humidity levels can be set sepa-
rately for each wine conditioning zone.
Always increase the humidity level in a
wine conditioning zone whenever you
are using it to store wine bottles sealed
with natural corks.
Risk of damage caused by ex-
cess moisture
This will lead to condensation on the
interior walls, which can cause corro-
sion damage.
Do not introduce additional moisture
into the air, e.g., by placing a dish of
water inside the wine conditioning
unit.
Increasing the humidity
If you have set a higher level of humid-
ity, the fans will switch on automati-
cally. This will distribute the humidity
and the temperature evenly around the
wine conditioning unit so that you can
store all your wine under the same ex-
cellent conditions. The fans switch off
automatically when the appliance door
is opened and remain switched off for
as long as it is kept open.
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
Use the and sensor controls to
select the wine conditioning zone for
which you want to increase the hu-
midity and select OK to confirm your
selection.

wait approx. 8seconds after touching
the button for the last time. The set-
ting will be automatically adopted.

Storing wine bottles
83
Always observe USDA food safety
guidelines.
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not operate any electrical equip-
ment inside the wine conditioning.
This can cause sparking.
Vibration and movement have a nega-
tive effect on the maturing process
which can in turn affect the taste of the
wine.
To avoid disturbing other bottles when
removing a bottle of wine, store bottles
of the same type beside each other on
the same shelf. Avoid stacking bottles
on top of one another on the wooden
shelves.
Always place the bottles in a horizontal
position so that the natural corks can
be kept moist on the inside and air is
prevented from getting into the bottles.
Tip: We also recommend increasing the
humidity level inside the wine condition-
ing unit for wine bottles with natural
corks (see “Increasing the humidity”
under “Optimum temperature and air
quality”).
Risk of injury from falling wine
bottles.
Wine bottles may become wedged in
the wooden shelves above and fall
out of the wine conditioning unit
when the shelves are pulled out.
Always pull out the wooden shelves
slowly and carefully.
Risk of damage and injury from
broken glass.
If wooden shelves and bottles pro-
trude too far forwards, they will dam-
age the glass door when it is closed.
Please ensure that the wooden
shelves and wine bottles do not pro-
trude.
Do not cover the vents in the rear
wall, as they are essential for keeping
the appliance cool.
Storing wine bottles
84
Wooden shelves
The wooden shelves are mounted on
telescopic runners which can be pulled
out to make it easier to store and re-
move bottles.
Moving the wooden shelves
The wooden shelves can be removed
and replaced again if required.
Pull the wooden shelf out until it
stops, then lift it up and off the run-
ners. Hold onto the frame to do this.
To replace the shelf, click it into place
on the extended rails from above. The
strip must face the front.
Adjusting the wooden shelves
The slats in the wooden shelves can be
individually adjusted to suit, so that ev-
ery bottle is stored in perfect safety re-
gardless of shape or size.
Simply lift individual slats to move or
remove them from the wooden
shelves. This makes it easy to adjust
the wooden shelf for any size of your
wine bottle.
Storing wine bottles
85
Labeling the wooden shelves
For quick and easy identification of the
wines stored, you can write on the
blackboard-painted surface of the strips
on the wooden shelves.
You can write directly on the strip or re-
move it from the wooden shelf. To do
so:
Hold the strip by the sides and pull it
forwards.
The strip can be wiped clean with a
damp cloth.
Risk of damage due to incorrect
cleaning.
The blackboard coating on the label-
ing strips may be damaged.
Use clean water only to wipe the
strip. Do not use a cleaning agent.
Label the strip with the chalk supplied
and replace it on the wooden shelf
from above.

ditioning unit
Switch the wine conditioning unit off
by pressing the On/Off switch.
Take any wine bottles out of the wine
conditioning unit and store them in a
cool place.
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning (see “Storing wine bottles –

wooden shelves before cleaning them
(see “Storing wine bottles – Labeling
wooden shelves”).
Interior, accessories, and ap-
pliance door

ularly, or at least once a month.
Clean up any spills, stains, or food
immediately. Do not allow them to
dry and stick to the appliance.
Clean the interior cabinet of the wine
conditioning unit with a solution of
lukewarm water and a little liquid dish
soap. Rinse all parts by hand. Do not
wash in a dishwasher.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Risk of damage due to incorrect

The blackboard coating on the label-
ing strips may be damaged.
Use clean water only to wipe the la-
beling strips on the wooden shelves.
Do not use a cleaning agent.
The wooden shelves should only be
wiped with a well wrung-out damp
cloth. They must not be allowed to
get wet.
Leave the wine conditioning unit open
to air it sufficiently for a short while
and to prevent odor build-up.
Clean the glass panes in the appli-
ance door with a proprietary glass
cleaner.
Cleaning and care
91
Cleaning the door seal
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 seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
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 dust
brush, for example).
After cleaning
Replace all parts in the wine condi-
tioning unit.
Reconnect to the electricity supply
and switch the wine conditioning unit
back on.
Place the wine bottles back in the
wine conditioning unit and close the
appliance door.

General problems with the wine conditioning unit
Problem Possible cause and solution
Bacteria has begun to
form on the wine bottle
labels.
Bacteria may form on the labels, depending on the
type of label adhesive used.
Clean the wine bottles and remove any adhesive
residue.
The slats on the
wooden shelves are
warping.
Volume change due to moisture absorption or drying
out is a typical characteristic of wood. An increase in
humidity will cause wooden components to warp,
which can lead to cracking. Knots and wavy grain are
characteristic for wood and cannot be avoided.
A white deposit has
formed on the wine bot-
tle corks.
The corks have oxidized due to contact with the air.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off the deposit. The de-
posit will not affect the quality of the wine.
