Caring for the environment
16
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation!
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds, and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human 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 your household waste.
Take care not to damage your
refrigeration appliance before or during
disposal in an authorised,
environmentally friendly manner.
This is to ensure that refrigerant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact Miele. You are
also responsible for deleting any
personal data that may be stored on the
appliance prior to disposal. You should
remove any old batteries which are not
securely enclosed by the appliance and
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance presents no danger to
children while being stored awaiting
disposal.

Electrical connection
The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected to an earthed socket using
the connection cable supplied.
The socket should 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 appliance to a multi-
socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension cable or multi-socket
adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For safety reasons, we recommend
using a suitable residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical
installation for connecting the
refrigeration appliance.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from Miele).
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the connection
data. Compare this information with the
data of the on-site electrical
connection. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with
a self-sufficient or non-mains
synchronous energy supply system
(e.g. isolated networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A requirement for
the operation is that the energy supply
system complies with all current local
and national requirements that apply to
stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in
the domestic installation and in this
Miele product must also be assured in
their function and operation in isolated
operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent
measures in the installation.

How to save energy:
Installation
location
The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher
ambient temperatures and consumes more energy in the
process. Therefore, you should:
- Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room.
- Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source
(heater element, cooker).
- Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.
- Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 20°C.
- Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any
dust.
Temperature
setting
The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.
The following settings are recommended:
- 4 to 5°C in the refrigerator section.
Use Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air
circulation. Therefore, you should:
- Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as
short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that
makes it easy to find in the appliance.
- Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening
them.
- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in
the refrigeration appliance.
- Store food well packaged or covered.
- Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.
- Place frozen food in the refrigerator section to defrost.
- Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the
appliance was delivered.
- Use the wall spacers. The wall spacers on the back of your
refrigeration appliance are designed to ensure that the
declared energy consumption is achieved.

Switching on and off
40
Switching off for longer periods of
time
If, during a long absence, the
refrigeration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door is left
shut, there is a danger of mould
building up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the
refrigeration appliance if it is not
going to be used for a long time.
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, observe the
following:
Switch the appliance off.
Switch off at the wall and withdraw
the plug from the socket, or switch
off the mains circuit breaker.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the
appliance and avoid odours building
up inside.
The correct temperature
41
It is very important to set the correct
temperature to ensure the shelf life of
food. Reducing the temperature
reduces the growth rate of
microorganisms. Food does not spoil as
quickly.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
- the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open.
- the more food is stored in it.
- the warmer the food is which is being
put into it.
- the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration
appliance. This refrigeration
appliance is designed for use within
specific ambient temperatures
(climate range). Do not use it in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
... in the refrigerator section
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
The correct temperature
42
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the current mean
temperature in the refrigerator.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this
temperature to then be shown
constantly in the display.
Setting the temperature
Touch the OKsensor on the control
panel.
appears in the display.
Touch OK.
Use the andsensors to change
the temperature.
Touch OK.
The temperature display will then
change back to the current temperature
in the refrigeration appliance.
Possible temperature settings
- Refrigerator section: 2to9°C
If you change the temperature
setting:
Check the temperature display after a
few hours. It will take this long for an
accurate reading to be given.
- Wait for approx.6hours if the
refrigeration appliance is not very full.
- Wait for approx.24hours if the
refrigeration appliance is full.
If, after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low:
Adjust the temperature again.
Using SuperCool and DynaCool
43
SuperCool
When switched on, the SuperCool
function can be used to rapidly
reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator section to its lowest
setting (depending on the ambient
temperature). The refrigeration
appliance will work at full power and
lower the temperature. Select this
function for the rapid chilling of large
amounts of fresh food or drink.
When the SuperCool function is
switched on, the appliance may make
more noise than usual.
The SuperCool function should be
switched on immediately before
placing food or drinks in the
refrigerator section.
The SuperCool function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
12hours. The appliance will then run
at normal power again.
Useful tip: To save energy, you can
manually switch off the SuperCool
function once food and drinks are
sufficiently chilled.
Switching SuperCool on and off
Touch the OKsensor on the control
panel.
appears in the display.
Touch OK.
Use the sensor to scroll to the
symbol.
Touch OK.
When the SuperCool function is
switched on, a dot appears in the
upper corner of the display
.
Using SuperCool and DynaCool
44
DynaCool
When the DynaCool function is not
switched on, the natural circulation of
air in the appliance will cause different
temperature zones in the fridge, as the
cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different temperature zones when
placing food in the refrigerator (see
"Storing food in the refrigerator
section").
However, if you are storing a large
amount of similar food in the
refrigerator at any one time, e.g. after
your weekly shop, it is a good idea to
switch on DynaCool. This way you can
distribute the temperature on all the
adjustable shelves inside the
appliance more evenly so that all the
food in the refrigerator section will be
chilled to about the same degree.
The temperature can be set as usual
with the temperature control.
Also switch on the DynaCool
function when:
- the ambient temperature is high
(above approx. 35°C)
- the humidity levels are high (e.g. in
the summer)
The fan will always switch on
automatically when the compressor
switches on.
Useful tip: As the energy consumption
increases when DynaCool is
switched on, you should switch the
DynaCool function off again under
normal conditions.
To save energy, the fan switches off
automatically when the door is open.
Switching DynaCool on and off
Touch the OKsensor on the control
panel.

Explanation of the different
settings
Only the settings that require further
explanation are described below.
The door alarm and other warnings
are automatically suppressed when
you are in Settings mode.
Party mode
The Party mode function is
particularly recommended for the
rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh
food or drink.
Useful tip: Switch on the Party mode
function approx. 4hours before
placing food and drinks in the
appliance.
When Party mode is switched on, the
DynaCool and SuperCool
functions are switched on automatically.
Party mode cannot be switched on
if Holiday mode is switched on.
The Party mode function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
24hours. However, you can switch
the Party mode function off early at
any time.
Holiday mode
The Holiday mode function is
useful when you go on holiday, for
example, if you do not wish to switch
off the refrigerator section completely
or do not need a high degree of
cooling.
If Holiday mode is switched on, this
will be indicated in the start display.
The refrigerator section is regulated to a
temperature of 15°C. In this way, the
refrigerator section remains in operation
whilst saving energy.
Food which does not go off quickly
can be stored in the refrigeration
appliance for some time at this
moderate refrigerator temperature.
Energy consumption is lower than in
normal operation.
This also prevents the build-up of
odours and mould, which can occur if
the refrigerator section is switched off
and the appliance door is closed.
Health risk due to consumption
of spoiled food.
The shelf life and quality of food in
the refrigerator section may
deteriorate if the temperature
remains above 4°C for an extended
period.
Only ever switch on the Holiday
mode function for a limited
period.
Do not store any temperature-
sensitive food which goes off easily
such as fruit, vegetables, fish, meat
and dairy products during this time.

will go out.
If the appliance door is not closed, the
alarm will sound again after 3minutes.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
54
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the appliance.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
Different storage zones
Due to the natural air circulation, there
are different temperature zones in the
refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the refrigerator section. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
This appliance has dynamic cooling,
which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running.
The difference between the various
temperature zones is therefore less
pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is located in the top
section of the main storage area and
the door. Use this for storing butter so
that it remains spreadable and for
cheese so that it retains its flavour.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
55
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator
section is directly above the DailyFresh
drawer and at the back of the
appliance.
A temperature setting of 4°C
combined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food
poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas
to store all delicate and highly
perishable food, including:
- fish, meat, poultry
- sausage products, ready meals
- dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- soft cheese and other dairy products
- hummus, vegetable spreads, plant-
based cream cheese substitutes
- pre-packed vegetables
- other fresh food (with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C)
Useful tip: Store food in such a way
that it does not touch the rear wall of
the refrigerator section. Otherwise it
could freeze to the rear wall.
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C because it
is sensitive to cold.
Foods which are sensitive to cold
include:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit and citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges,
mandarines, grapefruits
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
capsicums, tomatoes, zucchini
- Hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan,
mountain cheese
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
56
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the
refrigerator section is in packaging or
covered properly (some exceptions
apply in the DailyFresh drawer).
This will prevent food odours from
affecting other food, stop food from
drying out, and also prevent any cross-
contamination of bacteria. This is
particularly important when storing
meat products. Make sure that food
such as raw meat and fish in particular
does not come into contact with other
food.
By ensuring that the temperature
settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures, you
can prolong the storage life of your
food considerably. This prevents
food waste.
Protein rich food
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish,
for example, deteriorates faster than
fish, and fish deteriorates faster than
meat.
Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
57
The DailyFresh drawer provides good
storage conditions for fruit and
vegetables.
The humidity level in the DailyFresh
drawer can be regulated to suit the food
being stored. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and does not dry out as quickly. The
temperature is approximately equivalent
to the temperature in the refrigerator
section.
Remember that the freshness of the
food when first placed in the
appliance is the most important factor
in determining how long it will stay
fresh.
Adjusting the humidity level in the
DailyFresh drawer for fruit and
vegetables
The moisture level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
If the quantity of food being stored in
this compartment is small, the
humidity level may be too low.
Useful tip: If you are only storing a
small amount of food, wrap it in airtight
packaging.
Selecting low humidity
The appliance is delivered with
increased humidity and the
compartment cover pushed
backwards .
Only change this default setting if the
humidity level in the DailyFresh drawer
is too high.
Open the DailyFresh drawer.
Pull the compartment cover forwards
as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is open and the
humidity decreases .
Selecting increased humidity
Open the DailyFresh drawer.
Slide the compartment cover
backwards as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is closed and
the humidity remains in the
compartment.
Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
58
Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep
well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):
Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial
to maintaining freshness.
Clean the DailyFresh drawer before storing food in it.
Dry the surface of very moist food before storing it.
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the DailyFresh drawer (see
“Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage
in the refrigerator”).
Set the compartment cover to the correct position for the food being stored (low
humidity or humidity increased ).
An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is
achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if it is stored
unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.
If too much moisture collects in the compartment at the setting and the food
is affected, dry the floor and place a rack or similar item in the compartment so
that excess moisture can drip down. Alternatively, reduce the humidity by
pulling the compartment cover forwards.
If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight
packaging.
Defrosting
59
Refrigerator section and
DailyFresh drawer
The refrigerator section and the
DailyFresh drawer defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the DailyFresh drawer whilst the
compressor is running. You do not need
to remove this.
The condensate drains through a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
refrigeration appliance. The warmth
generated by the compressor causes
the condensate to evaporate
automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this.
Condensate must be able to drain
away unhindered at all times.
Cleaning and care
60
The data plate located inside the
refrigeration appliance must not be
removed. It contains information
which is required in the event of a
fault.

Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance can damage plastic parts
and electrical components.
Do not use a steam cleaning
appliance to clean the refrigeration
appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used in the interior of the
refrigeration appliance must be food
safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
