Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The wine con-
ditioning unit complies with statutory safety requirements and the
appropriate EU directives.
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 com-
pressor, 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 naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine conditioning unit from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
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 ap-
pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1m
3
of room space is
required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the wine conditioning unit.
Warning and 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 earthed. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
The socket must not be concealed behind the wine conditioning
unit and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emer-
gency.
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 wine conditioning unit 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.

mate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside
this range. The climate range for your wine conditioning unit is stated
on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too
low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the wine con-
ditioning unit switching off for longer periods so that it cannot main-
tain 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 the wine conditioning unit is used for storing food which con-
tains fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with
plastic components. Any spillages of oil or fat could cause stress
cracks to the plastic and cause it to break or split.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
wine conditioning unit 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 appliances in-
side the wine conditioning unit. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Accessories and spare parts

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 wine conditioning unit from damage
during transportation. The packaging
materials used are selected from mater-
ials 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 wine
conditioning unit's pipework before or
during transportation to an authorised
collection 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.

wine conditioning unit, please bear in
mind that it will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a cooker or an-
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 of the
wine conditioning unit is.
When installing the wine conditioning
unit, please note the following:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The plug and power cable 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 this wine conditioning unit.
If installation near a heat source is un-
avoidable, observe the following min-
imum distances between the appliance
and the heat source:
- At least 3cm

(ambient temperatures) and should not
be used outside this range. The climate
range of the wine conditioning unit is
stated on the data plate inside it.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10°C to +32°C
N +16°C to +32°C
ST +16°C to +38°C
T +16°C to +43°C
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to switch off
for too long, causing the internal tem-
perature in the wine conditioning unit to
rise which could lead to damage.
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.

sential that all cabinets/units are fixed
to the ground or wall.
Load-bearing capacity of the niche
floor
To ensure the safe installation of the
wine conditioning unit and to guarantee
its correct functioning, the floor of the
niche where the appliance is to be in-
stalled must be smooth and even.
It must be made from strong, rigid ma-
terial.
Because the wine conditioning unit is
extremely heavy when fully loaded, it is
essential that the floor it stands on is
able to bear its weight. If necessary,
seek the advice of an architect or con-
struction expert.
When fully loaded, the weight of the
wine conditioning unit is approx.:
KWT 26x2 Vi 674 kg
KWT 26x2 ViS 679 kg
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the wine conditioning unit 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 wine condi-
tioning unit.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in

Preparing the building-in 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 building-in 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 building-in niche.
In addition, use the provided anti-tip
brackets to secure the building-in
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
plastic bag with the required installa-
tion equipment.
The anti-tip brackets prevent the wine
conditioning unit from tipping.
The anti-tip brackets are also used to fix
the building-in niche securely to the
surrounding walls.
Use 2anti-tip brackets for each in-
dividual appliance or 4anti-tip brack-
ets for each (side-by-side) combina-
tion of 2appliances.
Position the anti-tip brackets on
the left and right of the building-in
niche.
Depending on the subsequent adjust-
ment of the feet, the anti-tip brackets
are positioned 2134–2164mm from
the floor of the niche.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
29
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.
There must not be more than 8mm
between the anti-tip brackets and
the wine conditioning unit.
Make sure that the gap between the
wine conditioning unit‘s rear wall and
the building-in niche does not exceed
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 building-in
niche.
The accessory pack supplied con-
tains fixing screws for various applic-
ations/materials.

Securing with a wooden wedge
Secure the building-in 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 building-in niche
Take care not to damage the elec-
trical connection whilst pushing the
wine conditioning unit into the build-
ing-in niche.
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
plinth must be removed from the ap-
pliance base.
Carefully guide a flat-head screw-
driver through the grate in the
plinth on both sides and use it to
push the internal plastic latches out-
wards to release the plinth.
Place the plinth to one side.

Affix edge protection to the adja-
cent furniture fronts.
Insert the plug connector at the back
of the wine conditioning unit (see
“Electrical connection” in “Installa-
tion”).
Insert the plug into the socket.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
31
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 elec-
trically 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 cable to prevent
it becoming caught: tie a piece of string
to the middle of the power cable and as
the wine conditioning unit is being
pushed into the niche, pull the cable
forward underneath the appliance.
Push the wine conditioning unit into
the building-in niche.
If the wine conditioning unit cannot
be pushed into the building-in niche
(because the floor is uneven, for ex-
ample), unscrew the rear feet slightly
(see “Aligning the wine conditioning
unit” in “Installation”) and slide the
appliance into the niche.
Remove the edge protection from
the adjacent furniture fronts.
Aligning the wine conditioning unit
The installation aids on the appli-
ance door provide assistance with the
alignment of the wine conditioning unit
in the building-in niche.
The installation aids are suitable for a
furniture front thickness of 19mm or
38mm.
Align the wine conditioning unit with
adjacent furniture fronts as described
below.
Furniture front thickness of 19mm
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
32
Furniture front thickness of 38mm
The adjustable feet at the front and
back of the appliance can all be adjus-
ted from the front of the appliance.
Risk of damage due to incorrect
feet adjustment.
You may damage the adjustable feet
if you use a cordless screwdriver.
Always adjust the front and rear feet
by hand.

Installation
*INSTALLATION*
34
Place a spirit level across the installa-
tion aids on the appliance door to
check the wine conditioning unit's
alignment.
Unscrew the adjustable feet
and on both sides at least until the
marking on the plinth has reached the
specified distance of 32mm on the
spacer. The standard dimension of
32mm relates to a niche height of
2134mm.
It is important to adjust the feet to a
height of at least 32mm so that the
ventilation of the wine conditioning
unit via the plinth functions correctly.
Risk of damage if the feet are
adjusted too much.
The rear adjustable feet can be dam-
aged.
Unscrew the feet only until the
marking on the plinth is aligned to a

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

The ideal temperature and humidity
74
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.
Type of wine Recommended
drinking
temperature*
Light, fruity reds: +14°C to +16°C
Full-bodied reds: +18°C
Rosé wines: +8°C to +10°C
Delicate, aromatic
whites:
+8°C to +12°C
Full-bodied or
sweet whites:
+12°C to +14°C
Champagne,
sparkling white
wines, Prosecco:
+6°C to +10°C
* 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.
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.
Isolator plates for thermal separation
The wine conditioning unit has 2fixed
isolator plates that divide the interior
cabinet into 3zones, which can be con-
ditioned in different ways. This means
that you can store up to 3different
types of wine at the same time – for ex-
ample, red wine, white wine and cham-
pagne.
The ideal temperature and humidity
75
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 selectOK to confirm your
selection.
Use the and sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your fin-
gers on the sensor controls changes
the temperature continuously.
Confirm the temperature setting
withOK or wait approx. 8seconds
after the last touch of the sensor con-
trol. The temperature will then be
automatically adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
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 the appliance to give an accur-
ate reading.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to adjust it again.
Temperature range
In all three wine conditioning zones, it is
possible to set temperatures between
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 storage. Higher
humidity levels are necessary when
storing wine to moisturise natural corks
from the outside. When the humidity 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 moisturised from
the inside. If air gets into the bottle, this
will have a negative impact on the wine.
Tip: Humidity levels can be set separ-
ately 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.
Danger of damage from excess
amounts of moisture.
An increase in humidity will lead to
condensation on the interior cabinet
walls. Condensate can cause dam-
age such as corrosion to the wine
conditioning unit.
Do not introduce additional moisture
to air in the cabinet, e.g. by placing a
dish of water in the wine conditioning
unit.
The ideal temperature and humidity

Increasing the humidity
If you have set a higher level of humid-
ity, the fans will switch on automatic-
ally. 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 selectOK to confirm your
selection.

The alarm will stop and the message
will disappear from the display.
After a certain time, the alarm will
sound again and the message will re-
appear on the display until the appli-
ance door has been closed.
Storing wine bottles
78
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 “Increasing the humidity” in
“The ideal temperature and 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

General problems with the wine conditioning unit
Problem Cause and remedy
Mildew has begun to
form on the wine bottle
labels.
Mildew can begin to 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 grain patina
are part of the natural character of wood.
A white deposit has
formed on the wine
bottle corks.
The corks have oxidised 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.
