– by the guests in hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts and other typical

home settings.

This refrigeration appliance is not intended for outdoor use.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use to store

wine and deep-frozen food, freeze fresh food, and to make ice.

Any other usage is not permitted.

 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping

cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar

substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Dir-

ective. Incorrect use of the refrigeration appliance for such purposes

may cause deterioration of the items stored. The refrigeration appli-

ance is also not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of ex-

plosion.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incor-

rect use or operation of the appliance.

 The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use

it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of

incorrect operation.

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the refri-

geration appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance unsuper-

vised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recog-

nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 11g of coolant at least 1m

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

 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 supplied is damaged, it must

only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the

user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when ori-

ginal Miele spare parts are used.

 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a

multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and

do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

 If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains con-

nection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not oper-

ate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to mois-

ture (e.g in a garage or utility room).

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply dur-

ing installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation

work on the mains water connection. It is only completely isolated

from the power supply when:

- the mains fuses are switched off, or

- the screw-out fuse is removed (where applicable), or

- the mains cable has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not the

cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.

 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty

mains water connection can cause considerable danger for the user.

Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains

water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only

ever be carried out by a Miele-authorised technician.

 The ice-cube maker must only be connected to a cold water sup-

ply.

 Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty mains

water connection.

 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-

dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the

warranty is invalidated.

 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 classG.

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.

 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

 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 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of

your refrigeration appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

 Throw away the first 3 batches of ice to rinse the ice cube maker

and the water pipes. Do this:

- before using for the first time

- if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time

- regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month) to re-

move ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the

water supply)

- before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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,

- bending any pipework, or

- scratching the surface coating.

Caring for the environment

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 on and 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.

 Empty the ice cube drawer.

 Risk of damage to the ice cube

maker.

If the water inlet is blocked while the

ice cube maker is still in use, the wa-

ter inlet pipe can freeze up.

Turn the ice cube maker off if the wa-

ter inlet is turned off (e.g. while on

holiday).

 Close the stopcock for the water in-

let.

 Clean the refrigeration appliance and

leave the door ajar to air the 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 optimum temperature and air quality

Wine keeps on maturing 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 odour free atmosphere of-

fers the perfect conditions for storing

your wine.

It also guarantees a vibration-free envir-

onment (in contrast to a refrigerator) so

that the maturing process is not dis-

turbed.

The optimum temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature

between 6 and 18°C. If you are storing

white and red wines together, select a

temperature between 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 al-

low it to breathe and develop its aroma.

At too high a temperature (over 22°C)

wine matures too quickly, which pre-

vents the aromas from developing fur-

ther. Wine cannot mature fully at too

low a temperature (below 5°C).

Fluctuations in temperature put wine

under stress and interrupt the maturing

process. It is therefore very important to

maintain a constant temperature.

* Store the wine 1 or 2°C 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

the wine to breathe and develop its

aroma.

The optimum temperature and air quality

Setting the temperature

The temperatures for the wine condi-

tioning zones and for the freezer section

can be set independently of one an-

other.

Tip: The newly set temperature can also

Temperature range

- The temperature in the wine condi-

tioning zones can be adjusted

from5°C to 20°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. 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 adjust it again.

The optimum temperature and air quality

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature

display shows the current temperat-

ure in the middle of the wine condi-

tioning zone, and the current temper-

ature in the warmest part of the

freezer section.

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.

Air quality and humidity

In most refrigerators the humidity is too

low for wine and therefore a refrigerator

is not suitable for wine storage. High

humidity levels are necessary when

storing wine to moisten corks from the

outside. When the humidity is too low

the corks dry out and the bottle is no

longer tightly sealed. For this reason

wine bottles should always be stored

horizontally to ensure that corks are

also kept moist from the inside. If air

gets into the bottle, this will have a neg-

ative impact on the wine!

 Danger of damage from excess

amounts of moisture

An increase in humidity will lead to

condensation on the interior walls.

Condensate can cause damage such

as corrosion to the wine unit.

Do not introduce additional moisture

to air in the cabinet, e.g. by placing a

dish of water in the wine unit.

The optimum temperature and air quality

DynaCool (constant humidity)

DynaCool raises the relative humidity

inside the whole of wine conditioning

unit. It also distributes the humidity and

the temperature evenly around the in-

terior so that you can store all your wine

under the same excellent conditions.

This will create a stable climate in the

unit which imitates that of a wine cellar.

Air filtration with the Active AirClean

filters

The Active AirClean filters ensure op-

timum air quality by filtering the incom-

ing air.

Fresh air from the room enters the ap-

pliance via the Active AirClean filters.

The fans (DynaCool) then distribute the

air evenly throughout the cabinet.

Filtering the incoming air through the

Active AirClean filters ensures that all

the air entering the appliance is fresh

and free from dust and odours.

This also ensures your wine does not

absorb any unwanted odours through

the corks.

Replace the Active AirClean filters regu-

larly. The  symbol will appear in the

display to remind you (see “Cleaning

and care” – “Replacing the Active

AirClean filters”).

Using Super freeze

The Super freeze function can also

be switched on.

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 1kg of fresh

food daily

The SuperFreeze function should be

switched on 6hours before placing

food in the freezer section.

When freezing the maximum amount

of food the SuperFreeze function

should be switched on 24hours 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.

65hours. 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.

 Risk to health due to contamin-

ated water.

Bacteria can develop in water which

has been sitting in the water supply

lines for too long. This poses a risk to

your health.

Throw away the first 3 batches of ice

cubes made after the ice cube maker

is started up, as the water will have

been used for the initial rinsing of the

water supply line.

This applies to the initial commis-

sioning as well as when using the ice

cube maker again after it has been

switched off for an extended period

of time (more than 5days).

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 24hours 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. 6hours.

- 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.

Make sure the stopcock is open.

The ice cube maker can be turned off

independently of the refrigeration appli-

ance if you do not want to make any ice

cubes.

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.

After a power cut, the ice cube maker

will, if it was previously switched on,

be deactivated after power is restored.

Storing wine bottles

Vibration and movement have a negat-

ive 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 “The optimum temperature

and air quality – Using DynaCool (con-

stant humidity)”).

 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 may

damage 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

Wooden shelves

The wooden shelves are on telescopic

runners which can be pulled out to

make it easier to store and remove

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, place it on the

extended rails. The magnetic strip

must face the front.

Annotating wooden shelves

For quick and easy identification of the

wines stored, you can write on the

blackboard-painted surface on the

magnetic strips on the wooden shelves.

Use the chalk supplied. You can write

directly on the magnetic strip or remove

it from the wooden shelf. To do so:

 Hold the magnetic strip by the sides

and pull it forwards. The magnetic

strip is held on the wooden shelf by

magnets.

 The magnetic strip can be wiped

clean with a damp cloth.

 Risk of damage from unsuitable

cleaning methods.

Cleaning the magnetic strips with a

cleaning agent may damage the

blackboard surface on them.

Use clean water only to wipe the

magnetic strips.

 Annotate the magnetic strip with the

chalk supplied and replace it on the

front of the wooden shelf.

Storing wine bottles

Maximum capacity

 Risk of damage!

Do not exceed the maximum load-

bearing capacity of 25kg for each

wooden shelf. Stacking bottles on

the wooden shelves should be

avoided.

Up to 42 Bordeaux bottles (0.75l) can

be stored in the wine conditioning unit.

Freezing and storing food

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the

freezer freezes through to the core as

quickly as possible, the maximum

freezing capacity must not be ex-

ceeded. The maximum freezing capa-

city for freezing within a 24-hour period

is given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-

pacity...kg/24hrs”.

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

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in a

good condition.

Before placing food in the appliance

 When freezing more than 1kg of

fresh food, switch on the Super

freeze function some time before pla-

cing the food in the freezer (see “Su-

per freeze”).

This helps create a cold reserve in food

which is already stored in the freezer.

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 = 25kg

Glass shelf = 35kg

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

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 2to6

Bread, baked goods 2to6

Cheese 2to4

Fish, oily 1to2

Fish, lean 1to5

Sausage, ham 1to3

Game, pork 1to12

Poultry, beef 2to10

Vegetables, fruit 6to18

Herbs 6to10

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.

Freezing and storing food

Cooling drinks quickly

When cooling drinks quickly in the

freezer, make sure bottles are not left in

for more than one hour. Otherwise

they could burst.

Tip: To avoid forgetting about bottles

placed in the freezer you can set the

minute minder (QuickCool timer) in Set-

tings 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. 1kg

of ice cubes will be produced within

24hours.

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.

Freezing and storing food

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. 24hours.

–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

Wine conditioning zones

The wine conditioning zones defrost

automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on

the back wall of the wine conditioning

zones whilst the compressor is running.

You do not need to remove this, as it

will defrost and evaporate automatically

with the warmth generated by the com-

pressor.

The condensate is drained away

through a channel and drain hole, then

fed into an evaporation system at the

back of the appliance.

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

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.

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.

The following parts cannot be cleaned

in a dishwasher:

- the wooden shelves

- all drawers and the compartment lid

(depending on model)

- the cool pack

 These accessories should all be hand

washed.

Cleaning and care

 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 glass plates (without trim)

 The wooden shelves in the wine con-

ditioning zones are fitted on tele-

scopic rails. Wipe the telescopic rails

with a damp cloth to clean them.

 Risk of damage as a result of in-

correct cleaning.

The telescopic rails contain a special

lubricant which can be washed out

during cleaning, damaging the rails.

Wipe the telescopic rails with a damp

cloth to clean them.

 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.

 Clean the appliance door with a pro-

prietary glass cleaner.

Cleaning and care

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”).

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.

Cleaning and care

Replacing the Active AirClean

filters

Fresh air from the room enters the ap-

pliance via the Active AirClean filters.

Filtering the incoming air through the

Active AirClean filters ensures that all

the air entering the appliance is fresh

and free from dust and odours.

Replace the Active AirClean filters in

both wine conditioning zones approx.

every 12months.

If you would like to be reminded auto-

matically every 12months, switch on

the Active AirClean filter reminder (see

Problem solving guide

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.

Problem solving guide

Problem Cause and remedy

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 put

in all at once for storage or freezing.

 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 section.

 Close the appliance doors.

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 the information in “Installation – Installation

site”.

The temperature setting in the refrigeration appliance

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

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.

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.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

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 +10to +32°C

N +16to +32°C

ST +16to +38°C

T +16to +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.

Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-

ance gets warm.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

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.

15mm 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.

approx. 15mm 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 65mm. This enables the ap-

pliance door to be opened and shut

Installing in a side-by-side

combination

To avoid a build-up of condensation

and resultant damage, refrigeration

appliances should not generally be in-

stalled directly next to other such ap-

pliances (side-by-side). Your appliance

has side-wall heating and can there-

fore be installed side-by-side with an-

other refrigeration appliance.

 Risk of damage!

The assembled side-by-side combin-

ation is very heavy. Incorrect moving

of the combination can cause the

appliances to become dented or

glass fronts to shatter.

Please observe the following notes

when moving a side-by-side appli-

ance combination.

It is essential that all side-by-side in-

stallation work is carried out by two

people.
