 This refrigeration appliance is intended for use in the home and in

similar environments, for example

– in shops, offices and similar work settings

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

home settings.

This refrigeration appliance is not intended for outdoor use.

 This appliance is intended for domestic use only for cooling and

storing food and drink as well as for storing deep frozen food, freezing

fresh food and for making ice.

Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be

dangerous.

Warnings and safety notes

 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping

cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar sub-

stances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Directive.

Incorrect use of the refrigeration appliance for such purposes may

cause deterioration of the items stored. The refrigeration appliance is

also not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion.

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

rect use or operation of the appliance.

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

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

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

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

incorrect operation.

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the refriger-

ation appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

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

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

nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance

unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do

not let them play with it.

 The appliance door hinges can cause injury. Keep children away at

all times.

 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children could become en-

tangled in packaging (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their

head and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children.

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.

Warnings and safety notes

 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 8g of refrigerant at least 1m

room space is required. The amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration

appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

 If the ventilation cross-sections are covered or blocked, a com-

bustible gas/air mixture can form if the cooling circuit is damaged. It

is essential to observe the required ventilation cross-sections. The

ventilation cross-sections must not be covered or blocked in any way.

 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.

Warnings and safety notes

 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 EN50160 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.

 The socket must not be concealed behind the refrigeration appli-

ance and must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be

quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emer-

gency.

 If the mains connection cable is damaged, disconnect the refriger-

ation appliance from the mains power supply immediately. Close the

stopcock for the water inlet. Contact the Miele Customer Service

Department.

 If the electrical connection cable supplied is damaged, it must only

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.

Warnings and safety notes

 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has

been built in.

 The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply during

installation, maintenance and repair work, and during installation

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

from the power supply when:

- the mains fuses are switched off, or

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

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

cable when disconnecting it from the power supply.

 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs, or a faulty

mains water connection can cause considerable danger for the user.

Installation, maintenance and repairs, installation work on the mains

water connection, and all repairs on the Ice/Water dispenser (de-

pending on the model) must only ever be carried out by technicians

authorised by Miele.

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

ply.

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

water connection.

When installing the water hose, make sure that the water hose is

neither kinked nor damaged.

Warnings and safety notes

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.

 Refrigeration appliance components which are made of metal or

look like metal can contain aluminium. If acidic food comes into con-

tact with aluminium, aluminium ions can be released into the food.

Do not store food loose in the refrigeration appliance.

 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.

 Risk of injury and damage. Do not store cans or bottles containing

carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer zone,

the MasterFresh Pro drawer or the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer. Oth-

erwise they could burst.

 Risk of injury and damage. 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.

Warnings and safety notes

 Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-

ted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and

spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it

has been cooked.

 Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-

tions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times

will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of

the food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored.

 Do not sit, stand or lean on the shelves or drawers when they are

pulled out. This could damage the refrigeration appliance.

 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its

surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches

or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

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 10years and up to 15years 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.

 WARNING! DANGER of injury and damage! Do not use any

mechanical or other types of aids which are not recommended by the

manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting process.

 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.

Warnings and safety notes

 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

 To avoid damage to the refrigeration appliance, always transport it

upright and in its packaging.

 Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration ap-

pliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

 Before transporting the refrigeration appliance, remove the char-

coal filters (AirClean system) and the filter retainers from the fridge

zone.

fridge zone. Never use a damaged charcoal filter.

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.

Warnings and safety notes

 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.

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.

Sustainability and environmental protection

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.

minimum safety distances, an isolation

plate must be installed between the re-

frigeration appliance and the heat

source.

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.

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.

The climate range is stated on the data

plate in the interior cabinet of the refri-

geration appliance.

Climate range Ambient temper-

ature

SN 10 to 32°C

N 16 to 32°C

ST 16 to 38°C

T 16 to 43°C

SN-ST 10 to 38°C

SN-T 10 to 43°C

A refrigeration appliance from the SN

climate range can operate without any

difficulties in rooms with a cooler ambi-

ent temperature (down to +5°C).

Before installation

Do not install a damaged refrigeration

appliance.

 Risk of damaging the floor from

the load.

Moving the refrigeration appliance

can cause damage to the floor.

Move the refrigeration appliance

carefully on floors that are sensitive

to scratching.

Load-bearing capacity of the niche

floor

To ensure the safe installation of the re-

frigeration appliance and to guarantee

its correct functioning, the floor of the

niche where the appliance is to be in-

stalled must be smooth and even.

It must be made from strong, rigid ma-

terial.

Because the refrigeration appliance is

extremely heavy when fully loaded, it is

essential that the floor it stands on is

able to bear its weight. If necessary,

seek the advice of an architect or con-

struction expert.

When fully loaded, the weight of the re-

frigeration appliance is approx.:

KFMC 3844 R/L 573 kg

KFMC 3844 FD 519 kg

Installation

Side-by-side installation

Your refrigeration appliance can be in-

stalled with another refrigeration appli-

ance next to it as it is equipped with in-

tegrated heaters in the side panels.

Tip: Please contact your dealer for spe-

cific information about which combina-

tions will work with your refrigeration

appliance.

The side-by-side installation kit can be

purchased from the Miele Customer

Service Department or your Miele

dealer.

Ventilation

 Fire risk and risk of damage due

to inadequate ventilation.

If the refrigeration appliance is not

ventilated sufficiently, the com-

pressor will run more frequently and

for longer periods. This causes in-

creased energy consumption and an

increased compressor operating tem-

perature, which can result in damage

to the refrigeration appliance.

Please ensure that there is adequate

ventilation around the refrigeration

appliance:

It is essential to observe the required

ventilation cross-sections.

The ventilation cross-sections must

not be covered or blocked in any way.

Clean the ventilation areas regularly

to remove dust and dirt.

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.

Door hinging change

 Risk of damage and injury when

changing the door hinging.

Changing the door hinging single-

handedly can cause damage to the

appliance and injury.

The refrigeration appliance is sup-

plied with a fixed door hinging. Under

no circumstances should you at-

tempt to change the door hinging

yourself.

If you need to change the door

hinging to the other side, please con-

tact the Miele Customer Service De-

partment.

Safety notes for the mains wa-

ter connection

Follow the installation instructions

supplied for the mains water connec-

tion.

 Risk of injury and appliance dam-

age if appliance is not connected

properly.

Failing to connect the appliance

properly can result in personal injury

and/or material damage.

The appliance may only be connec-

ted to the mains water connection by

suitably qualified specialists.

 Disconnect the refrigeration ap-

pliance from the mains power supply

before connecting it to the water

supply.

Close the stopcock before connect-

ing the refrigeration appliance to the

mains water supply.

Installation

 Risk to health and risk of damage

due to contaminated water.

The quality of the incoming water

must conform to the requirements

for drinking water in the country

where the refrigeration appliance is

being used.

Connect the refrigeration appliance

to the drinking water supply.

This refrigeration appliance meets the

requirements of IEC61770 and

EN61770.

Connection to the water supply must

comply with the applicable regula-

tions in the country where the appli-

ance is being installed. All appliances

and systems used to supply water to

the refrigeration appliance must also

comply with the applicable regula-

tions in the respective country.

The refrigeration appliance is only

suitable for connection to a cold water

supply, which

- is connected directly to the mains wa-

ter supply to guarantee circulation of

water in the cold water line.

Avoid connection to a water supply in

which the water might stagnate. This

can affect the taste of water and ice

cubes.

- withstands the operating pressure.

- complies with hygiene regulations.

The water pressure must be between

200kPa and 800kPa (2 and 8 bar).

Excessive water pressure in the pipe

can cause damage to the refrigera-

tion appliance.

Install a pressure reducing valve if the

water pressure in the system ex-

ceeds 800kPa (8 bar).

Contact a plumbing specialist if you

are unsure of your water pressure.

A stopcock must be provided between

the water supply pipe and the water

supply of the building to ensure that the

water supply can be cut off if necessary.

Make sure that the stopcock remains

accessible after the refrigeration ap-

pliance has been installed.

 Risk of damage to the ice cube

maker.

If the water inlet is interrupted while

the ice cube maker is switched on,

the electronic module may be dam-

aged. The water supply pipe may also

freeze up.

Turn the ice cube maker off if the wa-

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

holiday).

Installation

Water filter

The water system will only function if a

water filter is installed in the refrigera-

tion appliance.

The refrigeration appliance is supplied

with a water filter (mesh filter) that fil-

ters fresh water for making ice cubes.

The mesh filter filters particulates from

the mains water – not bacteria or mi-

crobes.

The mesh filter does not have to be

changed. However, to ensure the

highest quality of the ice cubes, it is es-

sential to clean the mesh filter regularly.

A notification on the display will remind

you to do so.

You can replace the mesh filter in-

stalled in your refrigeration appliance

with an active charcoal filter. Unlike

the mesh filter, the activated char-

coal filter does not need to be cleaned

but must be replaced on a regular

basis.

The active charcoal filter improves the

taste and smell of the ice cubes by re-

moving chlorine and other substances

from the mains water.

If you wish to use an activated char-

coal filter instead of a mesh filter, you

must adjust the Settings: 

SettingsAppliance functionFil-

ter managementFilter type.

New active charcoal filters are avail-

able from the Miele Customer Service

Department, your Miele dealer or via

the Internet.

Only use original Miele accessories.

If other parts are used, warranty, per-

formance and product liability claims

will be invalidated.

Changing the active charcoal filter

(optional accessories)

Air in the system can cause water to

gush out and the filter cartridge to

spring out when it is removed. Take

great care when changing the water

filter.

Depending on the quantity of ice

cubes produced, the active charcoal

filter needs to be changed approxim-

ately every 6months. A notification on

the display will remind you to do so.

If you have not used the refrigeration

appliance or the ice cube maker much

in the last few weeks or months, or if

the ice cubes smell unpleasant, re-

place the active charcoal filter.

Please note:

- If an external water filter is attached

to your household water supply,

use the previously installed mesh

filter in place of an active charcoal

filter.

- After inserting a new water filter

(mesh filter and active charcoal fil-

ter), dispose of all ice cubes pro-

duced in the next 24hours follow-

ing the change.

Installation

 Fold up the cover at the bottom of the

refrigeration appliance.

 Turn the filter cartridge 90° anti-

clockwise until it is in the vertical pos-

ition and slide it out carefully .

Caution. The filter cartridge may be

under pressure.

 Remove the protective cap from the

new filter cartridge.

 Loosen the cap from the old filter

cartridge and pull the cap off.

 Put the cap on the new filter cart-

ridge.

 Empty the old filter cartridge.

Tip: The old filter cartridge can be dis-

posed of with household waste.

 Slide the new filter cartridge into the

filter opening as far as it will go, mak-

ing sure the cap is vertical.

 Turn the filter cartridge clockwise 90°

as far as it will go until it is in the hori-

zontal position.

Installation

 Risk of damage caused by water

rushing out.

If the filter cartridge is not fitted cor-

rectly, there is a risk of water leaking

out of the refrigeration appliance.

When inserting the new filter cart-

ridge, be sure to turn it as far as the

marker.

 Fold the cover back down.

Once the active charcoal filter has been

replaced, the filter display must be re-

set. A notification on the display will re-

mind you to do so.

After inserting a new active charcoal

filter, dispose of all ice cubes pro-

duced in the next 24hours.

Installation

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 VDE0100 requirements.

For safety reasons, we recommend us-

ing a type  residual current device

(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-

tion for connecting the refrigeration ap-

pliance.

If the mains connection cable is dam-

aged, it must only be replaced with a

specific mains connection cable of the

same type (available from the Miele

Customer Service Department). For

safety reasons, such replacement may

only be carried out by a qualified spe-

cialist or the Miele Customer Service

Department.

These operating instructions and the

data plate indicate the nominal power

consumption and the appropriate fuse

rating. Compare this information with

the data of the on-site electrical con-

nection. If in any doubt, consult a quali-

fied electrician.

Temporary or permanent operation on

an autonomous power supply system or

a power supply system that is not syn-

chronised with the mains power supply

(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)

is possible. A prerequisite for operation

is that the power supply system com-

plies with the specifications of

EN50160 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-E2510-2.

Installation

Connecting the 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.

access to numerous Smart Extras, in-

cluding:

- Access status information.

- Use additional helpful functions.

- Keep your refrigeration appliance up

to date with the latest Miele develop-

ments via software updates.

You can find more detailed information

about Smart Extras on the Miele web-

site, in the Apple App Store

or in the

Google Play Store™.

*This is a separate digital offer from

Miele & Cie. KG. The range of func-

tions can vary depending on the model

and the country. Acceptance of the

Terms and Conditions and Privacy

Policy for Miele digital products & ser-

vices in the Miele app required. Miele

reserves the right to change or discon-

tinue the digital offer at any time.

Interior lighting (SmartLight)

Your refrigeration appliance has auto-

matic interior lighting. The automatic in-

terior lighting in the fridge zone auto-

matically adapts to the lighting condi-

tions in the room.

To ensure that the cameras can func-

tion correctly, the interior lighting must

be set to maximum brightness.

When the automatic interior lighting is

switched on, its intensity might not be

sufficient to assure the quality of the

camera images taken.

If this is the case, switch the auto-

matic interior lighting off:  Set-

tingsAppliance functionInterior

lightingAutomatic.

Then set the controller manually to

maximum brightness.

SuperCool & AirClean

When the SuperCool & AirCleanfunc-

tion is switched on, the temperature

in the fridge zone drops to 2°C.

Select this function for the rapid chilling

of large amounts of fresh food or drink.

If you want to rapidly chill large

amounts of fresh food or drinks, the

SuperCool & AirCleanfunction

must be switched on before placing

food or drinks in the fridge zone.

Tip: You should also activate the Super-

Cool & AirCleanfunction temporar-

ily if you are storing strong-smelling

food in the fridge zone. When the Su-

perCool & AirCleanfunction is se-

lected, the charcoal filter works even

harder to further reduce odours in the

fridge zone.

The SuperCool & AirCleanfunction

will switch itself off automatically after

max. 6hours.

Familiarisation

SuperFreeze

When the SuperFreezefunction is

switched on, the temperature in the

freezer zone drops to -30°C. Select

this function before freezing fresh food

weighing 2kg or more. This helps food

to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients,

vitamins, flavours and appearance.

In addition, the QuickIce function is ac-

tivated in the ice cube maker and ice

cube production speeds up.

The SuperFreeze function should be

switched on around4–6hours before

placing food in the freezer.

The SuperFreeze function will

switch itself off automatically after

max. 54hours. The quantity of fresh

food placed in the freezer will determ-

ine the duration before it switches off.

If you place a large amount of food in

the freezer zone and the temperature in

the freezer zone rises, the Automatic

SuperFrost function switches on auto-

matically for a while.

Ideally, place the food in the right-hand

section of the freezer drawer for this

purpose.

QuickIce

When the ice cube maker is switched

on, you can select the QuickIce func-

tion.

When the QuickIce function is switched

on, ice cube production speeds up.

The temperature in the freezer zone

drops to -30°C.

The QuickIce function will switch itself

off automatically after max. 48hours.

Holiday mode

The Holiday mode function is useful

when you go on holiday, for example, if

you do not wish to switch off the fridge

zone completely or do not need a high

degree of cooling.

The fridge zone therefore remains in

operation while saving energy.

When the Holiday mode function is

switched on:

- The fridge zone and the MasterFresh

Pro drawers are regulated to a tem-

perature of 14°C.

- The temperature in the DailyFresh Ex-

traCool drawer increases to approx.

12°C.

- No settings can be selected in the

MasterFreshPro drawer.

- The SuperCool & AirClean and Su-

perFreezefunctions are switched

off.

- The freezer zone remains switched on

at the previously set temperature.

- The ice cube maker is switched off

temporarily.

Tip: Food which does not go off quickly

can be stored in the refrigeration appli-

ance for some time at this moderate

fridge zone temperature.

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.

Familiarisation

 Health risk caused by decompos-

ing food.

The shelf life 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.

Do not store any temperature-sensit-

ive food which goes off easily, such

as fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and

dairy products, during this time.

Eco mode

The Eco mode function is useful if you

do not need a high degree of cooling in

the fridge zone and in the freezer zone.

Energy consumption is lower than in

normal operation.

When the Eco mode function is

switched on:

- The fridge zone is regulated to a tem-

perature of 6°C; the temperature in

the MasterFreshPro drawers is in-

creased to around 3°C.

- The temperature in the DailyFresh Ex-

traCool drawer increases to approx.

4°C.

- The freezer zone is regulated to a tem-

perature of -18°C.

- The QuickIce function is switched off.

- The SuperCool & AirClean and Su-

perFreezefunctions are switched

off.

 Health risk caused by decompos-

ing food.

When switching to the Eco mode

function, check that the food in the

freezer zone is already properly

frozen.

Do not freeze any new food while the

Eco mode function is switched on.

Familiarisation

Sabbath mode

The refrigeration appliance has a Sab-

bath mode function to support the ob-

servance of religious customs.

Switching on the Sabbath mode func-

tion temporarily switches off the follow-

ing features:

- Interior lighting

- All visual and audible signals

- The cameras: the camera does not

take any photos and no photos are

displayed in the Miele app.

- Reminders (e.g. to change or clean the

water filter): the set time interval is

paused.

- The door assistant (Push2open)

- All other functions including Super-

Freeze, SuperCool & AirClean

and the ice cube maker

When the Sabbath mode function is

switched on, you cannot make any set-

tings on your refrigeration appliance or

via the Miele app. Only Sabbath mode

can be switched off.

Charcoal filter (AirClean Sys-

tem)

The charcoal filters in the AirClean Sys-

tem neutralise unpleasant odours in the

fridge zone and stop odours from being

transferred to the food.

Tip: We recommend selecting the Su-

perCool & AirCleanfunction tem-

porarily if you are storing strong-

smelling food in the fridge zone. When

the SuperCool & AirCleanfunction

is selected, the charcoal filter works

even harder to further reduce odours in

the fridge zone.

The charcoal filters in the AirClean Sys-

tem can be reactivated in the oven or a

similar domestic appliance with an oven

function in a sustainable way and used

again (a notification reminding you to re-

activate them appears on the display

approximately every 6months).

The charcoal filters can be reactivated

approximately 5times; they must be

replaced with new ones after approx-

imately 3years. A notification on the

display will remind you to do so.

Used charcoal filters can be disposed

of with normal household waste.

New charcoal filters are available from

the Miele Customer Service Depart-

ment, your Miele dealer or via the In-

ternet (see “Familiarisation”, “Optional

accessories”).

Familiarisation

Camera (FoodView)

Door assistantPush2open

The Door assistant function enables you

to open the appliance door if your refri-

geration appliance has a handleless fur-

niture front.

Pressing lightly against the centre of the

appliance door automatically opens the

appliance door by a gap. If the appliance

door is then not pulled fully open within

3seconds, the appliance door closes

again.

Do not manually open, press or hold

onto the appliance door during auto-

matic opening and closing.

Ideally, always open the appliance

door fully before closing it again.

 Risk of damage to the door as-

sistant if the appliance door is

opened or closed prematurely.

If you open or close the appliance

door prematurely, the door assistant

may be damaged.

Do not obstruct the appliance door

while it is opening.

Do not pull on the appliance door

while the appliance door is opening

automatically.

Do not press the appliance door shut

once it has opened by a gap.

However, if you have closed the ap-

pliance door, leave it closed for

5minutes. The door assistant is re-

aligning itself.

Temperature alarm in the

freezer zone

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, a message appears

in the display and the highest temperat-

ure that has been reached is shown. An

alarm will also sound until the cause of

the alarm is rectified or the alarm is

switched off.

Tip: Before you switch the temperature

alarm off, you must determine the cause

and rectify it.

The set temperature determines when

the appliance recognises a temperature

as being too warm.

Familiarisation

The audible and visual signals may be

activated in the following situations:

- You switch on the refrigeration ap-

pliance and the temperature in the

freezer 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.

- A power cut has occurred.

- The refrigeration appliance has a

fault.

 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.

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.

A door alarm will sound if an appliance

door is left open for too long.

As soon as the appliance door is closed,

the door alarm will stop.

The audible door alarm can also be de-

activated: SettingsGen-

Operation

Temperature in the fridge zone

We recommend a temperature of 4°C

in the fridge zone.

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.

The temperature in the fridge zone can

be adjusted from 2 to 8°C.

Temperature in the freezer zone

 Health risk caused by decompos-

ing food.

To freeze fresh food, a temperature of

-18°C is required. Please note that, if

the temperature is any warmer, the

food will have a shorter shelf life.

When freezing food and storing it

over the long term, set a minimum

temperature of -18°C.

Tip: By keeping the freezer zone at a

constant temperature of -18°C and tak-

ing appropriate hygiene measures you

can maximise the storage life of your

food and avoid food waste.

The temperature in the freezer zone can

be adjusted from -16°Cto -24°C.

and the temperature setting, it can take

the appliance a few hours to reach the

desired temperature.

The temperature in the refrigeration ap-

pliance will always 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

Storing food in the fridge zone

 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 ventilation slots in

the fridge zone.

If food is stored too close to the vent-

ilation slots in the rear panel, the food

may freeze.

Store food in such a way that it does

not touch the rear panel of the fridge

zone.

Operation

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 is a refrigeration appliance with

automatic temperature distribution

(DynaCool). The refrigeration appli-

ance switches the fan on automatically

when the cooling system for the fridge

zone switches on. This means that the

cold is distributed evenly in the fridge

zone and the difference between the

various temperature zones is less pro-

nounced. All stored food is thus cooled

to approximately the same temperat-

ure.

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 at

the bottom at the back of the appliance.

However, the temperature in the

MasterFresh Pro drawers is even colder.

Use these areas to store all delicate and

highly perishable food such as:

- Fish, meat, poultry

- Cold cuts, ready meals

- Dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream

- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough

- 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)

Should food be stored loose or in

packaging?

Ensure that food stored in the fridge

zone is in packaging or covered properly

(some exceptions apply in the

MasterFresh Pro drawer).

This will prevent food odours from af-

fecting other food, stop food from drying

out and also prevent any cross-contam-

ination of germs. This is particularly im-

portant 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 MasterFresh

Pro drawers

The MasterFresh Pro drawers fulfill the

requirements of a cold storage com-

partment according to

DINEN62552:2020.

The MasterFresh Pro drawers provide

ideal storage conditions for fruit, veget-

ables, fish, meat and dairy products.

Food stays fresh considerably longer

while retaining both flavour and vitam-

ins.

Operation

In the MasterFresh Pro drawers, the

temperature is controlled automatically

and is in the range of around 0°C.

While lower than the temperature in a

standard fridge zone, this is the op-

timum temperature range for storing

fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.

The deterioration process is deceler-

ated at this temperature range so food

can be stored without loss of fresh-

ness for considerably longer than in a

standard refrigerator and you do not

need to shop as often.

In the MasterFresh Pro drawers, the hu-

midity level is regulated to suit the food

being stored. Food retains its own mois-

ture if stored at a higher humidity and so

does not dry out as quickly.

Selecting the right setting for the

MasterFreshPro drawer

 Clean the MasterFreshPro drawer

before placing new food in it.

 Select the left or right

MasterFreshPro drawer on the dis-

play.

 Select the food that you wish to load

into the selected MasterFreshPro

drawer.

 Alternatively, select the Favourite that

you have saved with your individual

settings (see “Creating a favourite for

the individual setting in the

MasterFresh Pro drawer”).

 Confirm your selection with  OK.

The appropriate humidity (, , or )

is set automatically based on the selec-

ted food.

 Now load your food into the

MasterFreshPro drawer.

Tip: For hygiene reasons, do not store

fruit and vegetables together with meat

and fish.

In the Dairy products, Meat & Fish

setting, the humidity is similar to the

humidity in the conventional fridge

zone.

This compartment is ideal for food that

spoils easily as well as home-cooked

meals as any microorganisms that may

still be present cannot multiply:

- Fresh fish and shellfish

- Meat, poultry and sausage

- Deli salads

- Dairy products, such as milk,

yoghurt, cheese, 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.

Tip: In the Dairy products, Meat & Fish

setting, always keep food covered or

wrapped for hygiene reasons.

The DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer 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 yogurt,

cheese, cream, etc.

- You can also store any other type of

food in the DailyFresh ExtraCool

drawer, as long as it is packaged.

In the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer, the

traCool drawer has a temperature of

approx. 2°C when a temperature of

4°C has been set in the fridge zone.

If the ambient temperature is high

(above 30°C) and the temperature in

the fridge zone is low (below 5°C),

minus temperatures may be reached

in the DailyFresh ExtraCool drawer.

This can cause food to be damaged

or to freeze.

Lower the ambient temperature or in-

crease the temperature in the fridge

zone.

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.

Operation

Freezing and storing fresh 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/

24hrs”.

Before placing food in the freezer

Only freeze fresh food which is in good

condition.

 When freezing more than 2kg

(4.4lbs) of fresh food, switch on the

SuperFreeze function for 4–

6hours before placing the food in the

freezer.

This helps the frozen food which is

already stored in the freezer to stay

frozen.

Placing food in the freezer

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.

 Distribute the food to be frozen flat

across the bottom of the freezer

drawer or in contact with the interior

side panels so that it freezes through

to the core as quickly as possible.

After freezing fresh food

 Switch the SuperFreeze function

off.

Cooling drinks quickly

 When cooling drinks quickly in the

freezer zone, make sure bottles are

not left in for more than 1hour. Oth-

erwise they could burst.

Ice cube maker

 Risk of injury due to incorrect op-

eration.

Rotating parts in the ice cube maker

may cause injuries.

Never reach under or into the ice

cube maker.

 Risk of damage due to blocking

of the ice cube maker.

The ice cube maker can become

blocked and sustain damage as a res-

ult.

Do not place food or any other items

in the ice cube container.

Empty the ice cube container at regu-

lar intervals, or if you have not pro-

duced 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.

Operation

Ice cube maker activation

 Risk to health due to contamin-

ated water.

Bacteria can develop in water which

has been sitting in the water supply

lines for too long. This poses a risk to

your health.

Dispose of ice cubes made during

the first 24hours after the ice cube

maker is started up, as the water will

have been used for the initial rinsing

of the water supply line.

This applies to the initial commis-

sioning as well as when using the ice

cube maker again after it has been

switched off for an extended period

of time (more than around 5days) or

when no ice cubes have been pro-

duced for an extended period of time.

 Make sure that the water inlet is se-

cured to the mains water connection.

 Close the top freezer drawer with the

ice cube container.

Ice cube production does not stop

when the ice cube container has

been removed. Ice cubes can drop

into the freezer drawer underneath.

Only remove the ice cube container

for the shortest possible time or

switch off the ice cube maker before

removing it.

 Select IceMaker on the display.

 Select Ice cubes.

 Select the QuickIce function if you

wish to speed up ice cube production.

 Confirm your selection with  OK.

Once the set temperature has been

reached in the freezer zone, it might

take up to 4hours until the first ice

cubes are produced.

It can take up to 48hours for the ice

cube container to fill up.

The ice cube maker can make up to

approx. 2.1kg of ice cubes in 24hours.

The amount of ice cubes made by the

appliance depends on the temperature

in the freezer zone. The lower the

temperature, the more ice cubes are

produced in a certain period of time.

Only make normal domestic quantities

of ice cubes with the ice cube maker.

Ice cube production is halted automat-

ically when the ice cube container is full.

Switching the ice cube maker off

The ice cube maker can be turned off

independently of the freezer zone if

you do not want to make any ice

cubes.

 Close the stopcock in the water sup-

ply line approx. 3hours before switch-

ing off the refrigeration appliance to

avoid the build-up of mould caused by

stagnant water.

 Select IceMaker on the display.

 Switch off the settings for the ice

cubes.

 Confirm your selection with OK.

Tip: Empty the ice cube container at

regular intervals, or if you have not pro-

duced 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.

Operation

Tip: If you do not wish to produce ice

cubes for a longer period, you should

switch off the ice cube maker com-

pletely.

Cleaning and care

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 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.

Preparing the refrigeration ap-

pliance for cleaning

 Switch the refrigeration appliance off.

 Switch the appliance off at the wall

socket and pull the mains plug out of

the socket, or disconnect the fuse.

 Take any food out of the refrigeration

appliance and store it in a cool place.

 If necessary, take out all removable

parts for cleaning (see “Familiarisa-

tion – Adjusting the interior fittings”).

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the interior of the ap-

pliance

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

cloth, lukewarm water and a little

washing-up liquid.

 Treat the stainless steel surfaces in-

side the appliance with a suitable

stainless steel care product.

 Always wipe in the direction of the

structure of the stainless steel sur-

face. This will avoid unwanted

scratches.

Use a suitable stainless steel care

product for the stainless steel sur-

faces inside the appliance.

We recommend the Miele ceramic

and stainless steel cleaner.

 Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash

in a dishwasher.

 Clean the ice cube container regularly.

 Clean the ice cube container before

switching off the ice cube maker for

an extended period of time.

 Regularly remove ice and water

residues from the ice cube container.

 After cleaning, wipe with clean water

and dry with a cloth.

 Leave the door open to air the refri-

geration appliance sufficiently for a

short while and to prevent odour

build-up.

Cleaning the camera

The camera lenses may become misty

due to the increased humidity in the re-

frigeration appliance.

 Clean the camera lenses using a mi-

crofibre cloth and a waterproof clean-

ing agent.

 Clean the camera housings with a mi-

crofibre cloth.

Cleaning and care

Reactivating the charcoal filters

(AirClean system) in the oven

 Remove the cover from each charcoal

filter.

 Pull the used charcoal filters and their

retainer out of the holder.

If your oven has a removable grease fil-

ter in the back of the oven compart-

ment, remove it temporarily.

See the operating instructions sup-

plied with the oven for information on

how to do this.

 Do not pre-heat the oven compart-

ment.

 Place the charcoal filters in the re-

tainers on a baking tray in the middle

of the oven compartment.

 Switch on the oven or oven function.

Select the Fan plus (recirculation)

operating mode, 200°C.

activation process. Reactivation must

take place in a well-ventilated room.

 Reactivation duration: 90minutes.

After this, switch off the oven or oven

function.

 Risk of damage due to hot char-

coal filter.

Heat-sensitive surfaces can be dam-

aged.

Do not take the hot charcoal filter in

the retainer out of the oven prema-

turely and do not place it on heat-

sensitive surfaces while it is hot.

 Wait until the charcoal filters have

cooled down fully before removing the

charcoal filters and retainers from the

Cleaning and care

 Insert each of the reactivated char-

coal filters and retainer into the

holder.

 Clean the cover by hand with a damp

flannel, not in the dishwasher.

 Place the cover on the retainer.

The charcoal filters in the AirClean sys-

tem contain active charcoal. Active

charcoal can leave significant marks.

 Wash your hands with soap and water

after inserting the charcoal filters.

Once the charcoal filters have been re-

activated in the oven or the charcoal fil-

ters have been replaced, the filter dis-

play needs to be reset. A notification on

the display will remind you to do so.

Cleaning the water filter (mesh

filter)

Depending on the quantity of water

dispensed or ice cubes produced, the

mesh filter must be cleaned approx.

every 36months. A notification on the

display will remind you to do so.

If you have not used the refrigeration

appliance or the ice cube maker much

in the last few weeks or months, or if

the ice cubes smell unpleasant, clean

the mesh filter early.

 Fold up the cover at the bottom of the

rushing out.

If the filter cartridge is not fitted cor-

rectly, there is a risk of water leaking

out of the refrigeration appliance.

When inserting the filter cartridge, be

sure to turn it as far as the marker.

Once the mesh filter has been replaced,

the filter display must be reset. A noti-

fication on the display will remind you to

do so.

Cleaning the door seal

 Risk of damage as a result of in-

correct cleaning.

If you treat the door seal with oils or

grease, it can become porous.

Do not use any oils or grease on the

door seal.

 The door seal should be cleaned regu-

larly with clean water, and then wiped

dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the ventilation open-

ings

 The ventilation openings should be

cleaned on a regular basis with a

feather duster or vacuum cleaner (you

could use a Miele vacuum cleaner
