Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap-
propriate EU directives.
If the cooling circuit is damaged, refrigerant and oil can escape and ignite.
Warning: fire hazard/flammable materials. This symbol is on the
compressor and indicates flammable materials. Do not remove this
sticker.
The refrigerant inside the appliance (details on the data plate) is en-
vironmentally friendly but flammable.
The use of this refrigerant does, however, sometimes lead to a slight
increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of
the compressor, 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 refriger-
ant can damage the eyes and leaking refrigerant can ignite.
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 refrigerant 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 8g of refrigerant at least 1m
3
of
room space is required. The amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply.
Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety 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 system
complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent stand-
ard.
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.
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 original
Miele spare parts are used. For safety reasons, such replacement
may only be carried out by a qualified specialist or the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department.
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 operate
this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture
(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.
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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and care
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause
the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this ap-
pliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- separate frozen food or remove ice trays.
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Transport
Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration ap-
pliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Disposal of your old appliance
Children playing could become trapped in the appliance and could
suffocate.
- Remove the appliance doors.
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so chil-
dren cannot climb inside.
- 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.
Risk of electric shock!
- Cut the plug off the mains connection cable.
- Cut the mains connection cable off the old appliance.
Dispose of the plug and mains connection cable separately from the
old appliance.
During and after disposal, make sure that the refrigeration appli-
ance is not placed near petrol or other flammable gases and liquids.
Risk of fire due to escaping oil or refrigerant!
The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In high
enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source.
During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged in
order to prevent refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled man-
ner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal opera-
tion.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-
rates the airways.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposing of the packaging ma-
terial
The packaging material is used for hand-
ling and protects the appliance from
transport damage. The packaging ma-
terial used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use ma-
terial-specific collection points for valu-
able materials and take advantage of re-
turn options. Your Miele dealer will take
the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances con-
tain 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 dis-
posed of with household waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion 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.
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, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.

Installation site
Risk of damage and danger of in-
jury due to the refrigeration appliance
tipping over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance door is open.
Keep the appliance door(s) closed
until the refrigeration appliance has
been built in. The refrigeration appli-
ance must be secured in its building-
in niche in accordance with the oper-
ating and installation instructions.
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.
This refrigeration appliance must not
be installed underneath a hob.
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.
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
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 please make sure
that the appliance door(s) closes
(close) properly and the refrigeration
appliance is installed in accordance
with these installation instructions. It
is essential to comply with the spe-
cified ventilation cutout require-
ments.
When deciding on the installation site,
please bear in mind that your refrigera-
tion appliance will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a cooker or an-
other appliance that gives off heat.
Avoid direct sunlight.
The higher the ambient temperature, the
longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption is.
When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, please note the following:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The mains plug and mains connection
cable must not touch the rear of the
refrigeration appliance as they could
be damaged by vibrations from the
appliance.
- Other appliances must also not be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind the refrigeration appliance.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
16
- When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, make sure that the mains con-
nection cable does not get trapped or
damaged.
- Do not position or operate multi-
socket adapters, distributor strips or
other electronic devices (e.g. halogen
transformers) at the rear of the appli-
ance.
- The floor at the installation site must
be horizontal and level and must be as
high as the surrounding floor.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to condensa-
tion on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex-
ternal appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration
appliance models directly next to or
on top of one other.
Exception: your refrigeration appliance
can be installed next to another refriger-
ation appliance with an integrated heat-
ing unit if each appliance is built into a
separate niche. Please contact your
dealer for specific information about
which combinations will work with your
refrigeration appliance.
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 10to32°C
N 16to32°C
ST 16to38°C
T 16to43°C
SN-ST 10to38°C
SN-T 10to43°C
A lower ambient temperature leads to
the compressor switching off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the refrigeration appli-
ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-
orating and going off.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
17
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to in-
sufficient 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. The appliance housing
unit must therefore be constructed to
allow sufficient space for ventilation
(see “Installation dimensions” and the
installation instructions provided).
Changing the door hinging
Danger of injury and damage to
the appliance due to heavy door.
There is an increased risk of injury
and damage if the door hinging is in-
stalled by a single person.
Always change the door hinging with
the help of a second person.
The refrigeration appliance is supplied
with hinges on the right. If left-hand
hinging is required, the hinges must be
changed (see accompanying installation
instructions).
Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen fur-
niture, the thickness and edge radius of
the furniture door panel and the gap that
runs around the door, vertically and hori-
zontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following:
- Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door
panel and the housing unit door above
or below it must be at least 3mm.
- Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration
appliance furniture door panel and
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall on the hinged side is too small,
the appliance door could collide with
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the size
of this gap to suit the thickness and
edge radius of the appliance furniture
door.
This must be taken into consideration
when planning your kitchen and when
replacing an old refrigeration appliance
with a new one to ensure the installa-
tion conditions required are met.

Limiting the opening angle of
the appliance doors
The door hinges are set to enable the
appliance doors to be opened wide.
If the opening angle of the doors needs
to be limited to approx. 90°, the hinge
can be adjusted to accommodate this.
The locking pins for limiting the door
opening must be fitted before the refri-
geration appliance is installed.
The refrigerator section door must be
taken off in order to insert the pins into
the upper hinge of the freezer section
door (see the installation instructions

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

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.
Connecting the refrigeration appliance
Insert the plug connector into the
socket at the back of the refrigeration
appliance.
Make sure that the plug connector has
clicked into position correctly.
Insert the plug of the refrigeration ap-
pliance into the socket.
The refrigeration appliance is now con-
nected to the electricity supply.
Saving energy
23
How to save energy:
Installation site The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher am-
bient 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.
- PerfectFresh Pro zone just above 0°C.
- -18°C in the freezer 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 fridge zone to defrost.
- Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the ap-
pliance was delivered.

Switching off for longer periods of
time
If, during a long absence, the refriger-
ation 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 refrigera-
tion appliance before a long period of
absence.
If the refrigeration appliance is not going
to be used for a longer period of time,
observe the following:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
Switch off at the wall and disconnect
the plug from the socket, or discon-
nect the fuse.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the appliance
and avoid odours building up inside.
It is also advisable to carry out the last
two instructions if you are switching
the refrigerator section off for a longer
period of time.
The correct temperature
35
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 refrigeration ap-
pliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance door is
opened and the longer it is kept open
- The more food that is stored in it
- The warmer the food is which is being
put into it
- The higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the refrigeration appli-
ance. This refrigeration appliance is
designed for use within specific ambi-
ent temperatures (climate range). Do
not use in ambient temperatures for
which it is not designed.
...in the refrigerator section and in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone
We recommend a temperature of 4°C
in the refrigerator section.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3°C.
Automatic temperature distribution
(DynaCool)
The fan switches on automatically when
the cooling system for the refrigerator
switches on. It distributes the temperat-
ure in the appliance to all areas more
evenly so that all the food will be chilled
to about the same degree.
...in the freezer zone
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
-18°C is required. This will prolong the
shelf life of your food and retain its qual-
ity.
As soon as the temperature rises above
-10°C, the bacteria become active in
the food again so it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
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.
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the current average re-
frigerator section temperature and
the maximum freezer section tem-
perature.
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 constant
temperature on the display.
Setting the temperature in the
refrigerator/freezer sections

Possible temperature settings
- Fridge zone: 3to9°C
- Freezer zone: -15to-26°C
Adjusting the temperature level in the
PerfectFreshPro zone
The temperature in the PerfectFreshPro
zone is automatically controlled
between 0 and 3°C.
However, if you would like it to be
warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish,
you can adjust the temperature slightly
in increments.
In Settings mode, use the or
sensor control to scroll to the
symbol.
Tap OK.
Use the and sensor controls to
select a setting between 1 (lowest
temperature) and 9 (highest temper-
ature).
Tap OK.
The factory default setting for the
temperature level is5.
Under certain circumstances, a set-
ting from1 to4 can cause the tem-
perature to fall below 0°C. This can
cause food to freeze.
Check the temperature setting.
Using Super cool and Super freeze
37
SuperCool
When switched on, the SuperCool
function can be used to rapidly re-
duce the temperature in the fridge
zone to its lowest setting (depending
on the ambient temperature). The refri-
geration appliance will work at full
power and lower the temperature. Se-
lect 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 4hours before placing
food or drinks in the fridge zone.
The SuperCool function will switch
itself off automatically after approx.
12hours. The refrigeration appliance
will then run at normal power again.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperCool function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Switching SuperCool on and off
Touch the OKsensor control on the
control panel.
will appear in the display (refrigerator
section is selected).

Using Super cool and Super freeze
38
SuperFreeze
When switched on, the SuperFreeze
function can be used to rapidly re-
duce the temperature in the freezer
section to its lowest setting (depend-
ing on the ambient temperature). The
refrigeration appliance will work at full
power and lower the temperature. Se-
lect this function before freezing fresh
food. This helps food to freeze quickly
and retain its nutrients, vitamins, fla-
vours and appearance.
When the SuperFreeze function is
switched on, the appliance may make
more noise than usual.
SuperFreeze should be switched on
approx. 6hours before placing food in
the freezer section.
When freezing the maximum amount
of food, the SuperFreeze function
should be switched on 24hours be-
forehand.
The SuperFreeze function will
switch itself off automatically after a
maximum of 72hours. The refrigera-
tion appliance will then run at normal
power again. The quantity of fresh food
placed in the freezer will determine the
duration before it switches off.
Tip: To save energy, you can switch the
SuperFreeze function off yourself once
food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
You do not need to switch on the Su-
perFreeze function:
- If you are placing food that is
already frozen in the freezer
- If you only freeze up to 2kg of fresh
food daily

39
Explanation of the different set-
tings
Only the settings that require further ex-
planation 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 recom-
mended if you wish to chill or freeze
large amounts of fresh food or drink
quickly.
Tip: Switch on the Party mode func-
tion approx. 4hours before placing
food and drinks in the appliance.
When Party mode is switched on, the
SuperCool and SuperFreeze func-
tions are switched on automatically.
Party mode cannot be switched on if
the fridge is switched off or 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 use-
ful when you go on holiday and, for ex-
ample, you do not wish to switch off
the fridge zone completely or do not
need a high degree of cooling.
If Holiday mode is switched on, this
will be indicated on the start display.
The fridge zone is regulated at a temper-
ature of 15°C, which automatically sets
the temperature in the PerfectFreshPro
zone to between 9and12°C. In this
way, the fridge zone remains in opera-
tion whilst saving energy.
The freezer zone remains switched on at
the previously set temperature.
Food which does not go off quickly can
be stored in the refrigeration appliance
for some time at this moderate refri-
gerator temperature. Energy consump-
tion is lower than in normal operation.
This also prevents the build-up of
odours and mould, which can occur if
the fridge zone is switched off and the
appliance door is closed.
Health risk caused by decompos-
ing food.
The usability and quality of food in
the fridge zone 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.

Health risk caused by decompos-
ing food.
If the temperature in the freezer re-
mains above -18°C for a long time,
the frozen food can start to defrost.
This will reduce the storage life of the
food.
Check whether the frozen food has
started to defrost. If it has, check that
the food is safe to use and if it is,
then use it as soon as possible or
cook it before freezing it again.
Temperature alarm
The refrigeration appliance has been
fitted with a temperature alarm so that
the temperature in the freezer zone
cannot rise unnoticed.
If the temperature in the freezer zone
becomes too warm,
will be shown in
the freezer zone temperature display.
An alarm will also sound until the cause
of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is
switched off.
The temperature the refrigeration appli-
ance is set at determines the temperat-
ure the appliance recognises as being
too warm.
A temperature alarm is displayed be-
fore an existing door alarm.
The audible and visual signals may be
activated in the following situations:
- You switch on the refrigeration ap-
pliance and the temperature in a
temperature zone differs greatly
from the set temperature.
- Too much warm ambient air enters
the freezer when you are rearran-
ging or taking out frozen food.
- You are freezing large amounts of
food at once.
- You are freezing warm food.
- There was a power cut.
- The refrigeration appliance has a
fault.
Before you switch the temperature
alarm off, you must determine the
cause and rectify it.
If the alarm annoys you, it can be turned
off early.
Touch OK.
The alarm message is confirmed:
goes out and the alarm stops.
The start screen appears in the display:
the warmest temperature recorded in
the freezer section will flash for about
1minute in the display. Then the tem-
perature display will change to the cur-
rent temperature in the freezer section.
The alarm will stop. The
symbol will
go out when the temperature reaches
the correct level again.
Temperature and door alarm

The refrigeration appliance is fitted
with a door alarm to avoid increased
energy consumption and food becom-
ing warm if the door is left open.
If an appliance door is left open for a
longer period of time,
will appear on
the relevant temperature display. An
alarm will also sound and the interior
lighting will pulsate.
The time before the door alarm is
triggered can be changed (see “Select-
ing further settings”).
The door alarm’s audible signal can be

Risk of explosion due to flam-
mable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). The spray cans in ques-
tion can be identified by the contents
printed on the can or by a flame sym-
bol. Electrical components can cause
escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration appliance
or the appliance door, make sure that
it does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto
the plastic parts of the refrigeration
appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will de-
crease 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 natural air circulation, there are
different temperature regions in the re-
frigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-
tion of the refrigeration section. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
This refrigeration appliance has auto-
matic 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 in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the PerfectFreshPro
zone dividing plate and at the back of
the appliance. The temperature in the
PerfectFreshPro zone compartments is
even colder.
A temperature setting of 4°C com-
bined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food pois-
oning.
Therefore, you should use these areas in
the fridge zone and in the
PerfectFreshPro zone to store all delic-
ate and highly perishable food, includ-
ing:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
Storing food in the fridge zone
48
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
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 ap-
prox. 4°C)
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge
zone is in packaging or covered properly
(some exceptions apply in the
PerfectFreshPro zone).
This will prevent food odours from af-
fecting other food, stop food from drying
out and also prevent any cross-contam-
ination 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 ap-
propriate hygiene measures, you can
prolong the storage life of your food
considerably. This prevents food
waste.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
49
PerfectFresh Pro zone
The PerfectFresh Pro zone satisfies
the requirements of a chill compart-
ment to DINEN62552:2020.
The PerfectFresh Pro zone provides
ideal storage conditions for fruit, veget-
ables, fish, meat and dairy products.
Food stays fresh considerably longer
while retaining both flavour and vitam-
ins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3°C. While lower
than the temperature in a standard refri-
gerator section, this is the optimum
temperature range for storing fresh food
which is not sensitive to cold.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Pro zone can also be regulated to suit
the food being stored. Food retains its
own moisture if stored at a higher hu-
midity and so does not dry out as
quickly.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh Pro
zone approx.30to60minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Humidity-controlled compart-
ment
| |
The upper humidity-controlled com-
partment has a temperature of
0to3°C, and the humidity level is in-
creased depending on the position of
the compartment cover: not in-
creased or increased.
Humidity level not increased
When the setting is used, the humid-
ity-controlled compartment becomes a
dry compartment (see “Dry compart-
ment”).
Increased humidity
At this setting, the humidity-controlled
compartment is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
Increased humidity in the humidity-
controlled compartment can cause a
build-up of condensate.
If you find that too much condensate
has formed and this is affecting the
food, proceed as follows:
Wipe off any condensate with a
cleaning cloth.
Open the compartment cover by
moving it to the low humidity posi-
tion.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
50
Selecting increased humidity
Open the drawer of the humidity-con-
trolled compartment.
Slide the compartment cover back-
wards as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is closed and
the humidity remains in the compart-
ment.
Selecting low humidity
Open the drawer of the humidity-con-
trolled compartment.
Pull the compartment cover forwards
as far as it will go.
The compartment cover is open and the
humidity drops.
If the food is higher than the edge of
the drawer, pushing in the drawer
may alter the position of the com-
partment cover, causing it to close.
When filling the drawer, take care to
ensure that the food does not touch
the compartment cover.
Dry compartment
|
The dry compartment has a temperat-
ure of 0to3°C and the humidity is not
increased .
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
food which goes off quickly, such as:
- Fresh fish and shellfish
- Meat, poultry and sausage
- Deli salads
- Dairy products, such as milk, yoghurt,
cheese, double cream, etc.
- Plant-based products such as tofu,
oat drinks, hummus, vegetable
spreads, meat and cheese substi-
tutes, etc.
- Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.
Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates faster than other types
of food.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
For hygiene reasons, always keep
these foods covered or wrapped.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
51
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 PerfectFreshPro zone compartments before storing food in them.
Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFreshPro zone (see
“Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage
in the refrigerator section”).
Select the correct PerfectFreshPro compartment for the food as well as the cor-
rect position for the compartment cover (low humidity or increased humid-
ity).
An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is
achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if the food is stored
unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.
Do not overfill the compartments.
If you find that too much condensate has formed when using the setting and
this is affecting the food:
- Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.
- Place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drain
away.
- Open the compartment cover by moving it to the low humidity position and
switch the humidifier off.
If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight
packaging.
If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFreshPro zone is too high or too
low, try regulating it slightly first by changing the temperature in the refrigerator
section by 1or2°C. If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the
PerfectFreshPro compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold
temperature will damage the food.
If adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator section does not remedy the prob-
lem, adjust the temperature in the PerfectFreshPro zone (see “The correct tem-
perature”).
Freezing and storing food
52
Freezing fresh food
Health risk caused by decompos-
ing food.
If the temperature in the freezer re-
mains above -18°C for a long time,
the frozen food can start to defrost.
This will reduce the storage life of the
food.
Check whether the frozen food has
started to defrost. If it has, check that
the food is safe to use and if it is,
then use it as soon as possible or
cook it before freezing it again.
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.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink significantly less. As there is not
so much moisture loss, it is easier for
the food to reabsorb it during the de-
frosting process, and very little water
collects around the defrosted food.
Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum freez-
ing capacity must not be exceeded. The
maximum freezing capacity for freezing
within a 24-hour period is given on the
data plate: “Freezing capacity...kg/
24hrs”.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check:
- That the packaging is not damaged
- The use-by date
- That the temperature at which the
frozen food is being stored in the shop
is -18°C or colder
Where possible, transport frozen food
in an insulated bag and then store it
quickly in the refrigeration appliance.
Home freezing
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 2kg of fresh
food, switch on the SuperFreeze func-
tion for 6hours before placing the
food in the freezer.
When freezing even larger amounts of
food, switch on the SuperFreeze func-
tion for 24hours before placing the
food in the freezer.
This helps the frozen food which is
already stored in the freezer to stay
frozen.
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Please note that some food is not suit-
able for freezing. These include, for ex-
ample, vegetables that are usually
eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.
Tip: To retain colour, taste, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To do
so, place vegetables portion by portion
into boiling water for 2–3minutes. Then
remove and plunge the vegetables into
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave the
vegetables to drain.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
Tip: Use suitable packaging to avoid
freezer burn (such as freezer contain-
ers).
Freezing and storing food
53
Expel as much air as possible from
the packaging and close it tightly.
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
Placing frozen food in the freezer
If the food is too heavy, this can
cause damage.
Loading food which is too heavy can
cause damage to the freezer draw-
ers/glass shelves.
Do not exceed the relevant maximum
load:
Freezer drawer = 12kg
Glass shelf = 35kg
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
To prevent food sticking together
when frozen, make sure that the pack-
aging and containers are dry.
To ensure that food freezes through to
the core quickly, do not exceed the fol-
lowing packaging and container sizes:
- Fruit and vegetables: max. 1kg
- Meat: max. 2.5kg
–Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the upper 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 de-
crease and energy consumption will
increase.
When placing food in the freezer,
make sure that the ventilation slots
are not blocked.
Tip: You can expand the space available
in the freezer zone. If you wish to freeze
large frozen food such as a turkey or
game, the glass shelves between the
freezer drawers can be removed.
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:
Switch the SuperFreeze function
off.
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawers and push them back in.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator
section, switch on the SuperCool func-
tion.
If you want to cool a large amount of
drinks, or if you want to cool drinks in
the freezer section, select Party mode
in Settings mode.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour. Otherwise they
could burst.
Freezing and storing food
54
Using accessories
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with wa-
ter and place it on the bottom of one
of the freezer drawers.
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to re-
move the ice cube tray from the
freezer if it is stuck.
Tip: Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray gently
or by holding it under cold running water
for a short time.
Cleaning and care
55
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.
Do not let water get into the elec-
tronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical com-
ponents.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
Defrosting
Fridge zone and PerfectFreshPro zone
The fridge zone and the
PerfectFreshPro zone defrost automat-
ically.
The condensate drains through a chan-
nel and drain hole into the evaporation
system at the back of the refrigeration
appliance. The warmth generated by the
compressor causes the condensate to
evaporate automatically.
Freezer section
The appliance is equipped with a
“NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts
automatically.
The moisture generated in the appliance
collects on the condenser and is auto-
matically 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 agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used in the interior cabinet of the re-
frigeration appliance must be food
safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use the following:
- Cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. scour-
ing powder, scouring liquid or pumice
stones)
- Cleaning agents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Oven sprays
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes
(e.g. pot scourers)
- Eraser stain remover blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge
and lukewarm water with a little wash-
ing-up liquid to clean the surfaces of the
appliance.
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the inside of the appli-
ance
The refrigeration appliance should be
cleaned regularly (at least once a
month).
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove under certain circumstances.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
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.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently using a cotton
swab or similar item to ensure that
condensate can drain away freely.
Leave the door open to air the refri-
geration appliance sufficiently for a
short while and to prevent odour
build-up.

Many malfunctions and faults can be easily remedied. You can save time and
money in many cases, as you do not need to contact Customer Service.
More information to help you remedy faults yourself can be found at
www.miele.co.uk/support/customer-assistance.
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 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 frequently,
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 temperature is too high. The higher the
ambient temperature, the longer the compressor runs.
See the information in “Installation – Installation
site”.
