Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the
appropriate 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
environmentally 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
refrigerant 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
appliance 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

11
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
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage
instructions 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,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation
of your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and care
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice to rinse the ice cube maker
and the water pipes. Do this:
- before using for the first time
- if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time
- regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month) to
remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the
water supply)
- before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause
the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this
appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator,
causing 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
original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration
appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
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
children cannot climb inside.
- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking
themselves 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
appliance is not placed near petrol or other flammable gases and
liquids.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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
manner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to
damage 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.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal
operation.
The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it
penetrates the airways.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
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
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
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.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical 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
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 poses no risk to
children while being stored for disposal.

appliance is being installed. All
appliances and systems used to
supply water to the refrigeration
appliance must also comply with the
applicable regulations in the
respective country.
For correct functioning (dispensing rate,
size of ice cubes, noise level) the water
connection pressure needs to be
between 150kPa and 620kPa (1.5bar
and 6.2bar).
If the water connection pressure
exceeds 620kPa (6.2bar), a pressure
reducing valve must be fitted.
The water supply line and the inlet
solenoid valve on the refrigeration
appliance are suitable for a water
connection pressure of up to 1000kPa
(10bar).
Use fresh water to ensure that the
quality of the ice cubes remains high.
Connect the hose to the fresh water
supply and avoid connection to a
water supply in which the water
might stagnate.
Only use the hose supplied. The hose
must not be shortened, extended or
replaced by a different hose.
The hose must only be replaced by
an original Miele spare part. The
food-grade hose is available to order
from the Miele webshop, from the
Miele Customer Service Department
or from your local Miele dealer.
Installation

A stopcock must be provided between
the hose and the mains water
connection to ensure that the water
supply can be cut off if necessary.
Make sure that the stopcock remains
accessible after the appliance has
been installed.
Water supply
Ensure that the connections are tight
and leak-proof.
Risk of damage to the hose.
The water supply from the stopcock
to the ice cube maker has been
interrupted.
Do not bend or damage the hose.
A stopcock with a metric R3/4thread

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
appliance to a multi-socket plug
adapter or to an extension lead can
overload the cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket
adapter.
The electrical installation must comply
with VDE0100 requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend
using a type residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned 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 the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified
specialist 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
connection. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply 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 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

will appear in the display.
Please note: The refrigeration
appliance is not disconnected from
the power supply when it is switched
off.
To note when 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 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
disconnect the fuse.
Empty the ice cube drawer.
Switching on and off
37
Risk of damage to the ice cube
maker.
If the water inlet is blocked while the
ice cube maker is still in use, the
water inlet pipe can freeze up.
Turn the ice cube maker off if the
water supply is turned off (e.g. while
on holiday).
Close the stopcock for the water inlet.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the
refrigeration appliance and avoid
odours building up inside.
The correct temperature
38
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.
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
-18°C is required. This will prolong the
shelf life of your food and retain its
quality.
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.
The temperature in the refrigeration
appliance will rise:
- The more often the appliance 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 in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
By keeping the freezer zone at a
constant 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 maximum
freezer section temperature in the
refrigeration appliance.
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 as a
constant temperature in the display.
Setting the temperature
Touch the temperature display on the
display.
Swipe left or right until the
temperature you want is shown in the
middle.
Tap on the temperature you want to
confirm.
The temperature display will then
change back to the current temperature
in the refrigeration appliance.
Possible temperature settings
- Freezer section: -15to-28°C
Using Super freeze
39
SuperFreeze
When switched on, the SuperFreeze
function can be used to rapidly
reduce the temperature in the freezer
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 before freezing fresh food.
This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours
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
beforehand.
The SuperFreeze function will
switch itself off automatically after a
maximum of 72hours. The
refrigeration 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
SuperFreeze function:
- If you are placing food that is
already frozen in the freezer
- If you only freeze up to 2kg of fresh
food daily
Switching SuperFreeze on and off
Touch the temperature display.

Temperature and door alarm
48
Health risk caused by
decomposing food.
If the temperature in the freezer
remains 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 becomes too
warm,
will light up red in the
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
appliance is set at determines the
temperature the appliance recognises
as being too warm.
The audible and visual signals may be
activated in the following situations:
- You switch on the refrigeration
appliance and the temperature in a
temperature zone differs greatly
from the set temperature.
- A lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when you are rearranging 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.

Freezing and storing food
50
Freezing fresh food
Health risk caused by
decomposing food.
If the temperature in the freezer
remains 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
defrosting 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
freezing 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
function for 6hours before placing
the food in the freezer.
When freezing even larger amounts of
food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function 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
suitable for freezing. These include, for
example, 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
containers).
Freezing and storing food
51
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
drawers/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
packaging and containers are dry.
To ensure that food freezes through to
the core quickly, do not exceed the
following 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
decrease 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
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour; otherwise they
could burst, causing injury and damage.
Making ice cubes
52
Check and pay attention to the following
before switching the ice cube maker on:
- The ice cube maker must be clean.
- The refrigeration appliance must be
switched on.
- Ice cubes can only be made when the
ice cube drawer is completely closed.
- There is a clip-on container at the top
of the ice cube drawer. If you ever
need a larger quantity of ice cubes,
you can simply remove the clip-on
container. The ice cube maker then
automatically produces ice cubes until
the maximum fill level in the ice cube
drawer is reached.
Risk to health due to
contaminated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which
has been sitting in the water supply
lines for too long. This poses a risk to
your health.
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice
cubes made after the ice cube maker
is started up, as the water will have
been used for the initial rinsing of the
water supply line.
This applies to the initial
commissioning as well as when using
the ice cube maker again after it has
been switched off for an extended
period of time (more than 5days).
When commissioning the appliance
for the first time, it can take up to
24hours for the first ice cubes to drop
out of the ice cube maker and collect
in the drawer.
After the ice cube maker has been
turned off and on again, this process
lasts max. 6hours.
Only make normal domestic quantities
of ice cubes with the ice cube maker.
The ice cube maker can make up to
approx. 0.8kg of ice cubes in
24hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
appliance depends on the temperature
in the freezer section. The lower the
temperature, the more ice cubes are
produced in a certain period of time.

will light up orange when the ice
cube maker is switched on.
Once the freezer section has cooled
down to its set temperature, the ice
cube maker will fill with water.
As soon as ice cubes are produced, they
will empty automatically from the
integrated ice cube tray and into the
clip-on container. The clip-on container
can be removed if required.
Ice cube production is halted
automatically when the clip-on
container or the ice cube drawer is full.
The drawer will not fill up to the top
edge.
Tip: Increase the fill volume of ice cubes
by spreading the ice cubes out evenly
from time to time.
Tip: Empty the clip-on container or the
ice cube drawer at regular intervals, or if
you have not produced any ice for more
than a week. This will ensure that you
always have fresh ice and the ice cubes
will not form a clump.
The ice cube maker can be turned off
independently of the freezer section if
you do not want to make any ice
cubes.
If the ice cube maker is switched off,
food can be placed in the ice cube
drawer and frozen.
Push the ice cube drawer all the way
back in when you stop ice cube
production.
Cleaning and care
54
The data plate located inside the
interior cabinet of the refrigeration
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is required
in the event of a fault.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or the lighting.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical
components.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Defrosting
The appliance is equipped with a
NoFrost system. The refrigeration
appliance defrosts automatically.
The moisture generated in the appliance
collects on the condenser and is
automatically defrosted and dissipated
from time to time.
This automatic defrosting system
enables the refrigeration appliance 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
refrigeration appliance must be food
safe.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
