Technical safety
The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap-
propriate EU directives.
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 wine unit.
When transporting and installing the wine unit, ensure that no parts
of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refrigerant can dam-
age the eyes and leaking refrigerant can ignite.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine unit from the mains electricity supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine unit is located for several
minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
The more refrigerant there is in a wine unit, 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 8g of refrigerant at least 1m
3
of room space is
required. The amount of refrigerant in the wine unit is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.
To avoid the risk of damage to the wine conditioning unit, make
sure that the connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on
the data plate corresponds to the household supply.
Check that this is the case before connecting the wine conditioning
unit. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
background
Warnings and safety notes
8
The electrical safety of this wine unit can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It
is essential that this basic safety feature is present.
If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked 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 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.
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 wine conditioning unit to the mains electrical
supply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire
hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
If moisture gets into electrical components, it could cause a short
circuit. Therefore, do not operate this wine conditioning unit in areas
which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or utility room).
This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not use a damaged wine conditioning unit. It could be danger-
ous. Check the wine conditioning unit for visible signs of damage.
This wine unit is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.
The wine conditioning unit must be isolated from the electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.
background
Warnings and safety notes
9
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause con-
siderable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
While the wine conditioning unit is under warranty, repairs should
only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Other-
wise the warranty is invalidated.
Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
This wine unit is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particu-
lar conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abra-
sion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only be used for the
purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department. This wine
unit contains several light sources with at least energy efficiency
classG.
Proper installation
Change the door hinging (if necessary) as described in the installa-
tion instructions supplied with the appliance.
Always wear protective gloves when transporting and installing the
wine unit.
Two people are required to install the wine unit.
background
Warnings and safety notes
10
Correct use
This wine unit 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 inside
the wine unit. A lower ambient temperature will cause the com-
pressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the wine unit is
unable to maintain the required temperature in some circumstances.
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
If the wine unit is used for storing food which contains fat or oil,
make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic compon-
ents. Any spillages of oil or fat could cause stress cracks to the
plastic and cause it to break or split.
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
wine conditioning unit or any products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical appliances in-
side the wine conditioning unit. Danger of sparking and explosion.
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 wine unit.
background
Warnings and safety notes

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 this wine condi-
tioning unit.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
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.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the wine conditioning unit. Do not use
sharp edged or pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- remove labels, stickers etc.
Transport
Always transport the wine conditioning unit in an upright position
and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
Risk of injury and damage. The wine unit is very heavy and must be
transported by two people.

Disposal of your old appliance
Children playing could become trapped in the wine unit and could
suffocate.
- Remove the appliance door.
- Leave the wooden/metal shelves in the wine unit so children can-
not climb inside.
- If the wine unit has a door lock, make sure that children cannot
lock themselves inside while playing as this could endanger 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 wine unit 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.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal opera-
tion.

Caring for the environment
Disposing of the packaging material
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.

How to save energy...
Installation site The wine unit has to cool more often at higher ambient temperat-
ures and consumes more energy in the process. Therefore:
- Install the wine unit in a well-ventilated room.
- Do not install the wine unit near to a heat source (heater ele-
ment, cooker).
- Protect the wine unit 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:
- +12 to +14°C
Use Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air
circulation. Therefore:
- Only open the appliance door when necessary and for as short
a time as possible. Arrange the wine bottles in such a way that
makes them easy to find in the appliance.
- Always close the appliance door properly after opening it.
- Keep wooden shelves arranged as they were when the appli-
ance was delivered.
- Do not overfill the wooden shelves to allow air to circulate.
- Keep the fan air ducts in the wine unit clear.
- Use the wall spacers. The wall spacers on the back of your
wine unit are designed to ensure that the declared energy con-
sumption is achieved.

Safety
Temperature alarm
The wine unit is equipped with a tem-
perature alarm so that the temperature
cannot rise or fall unnoticed and there-
fore damage the wine.
If the temperature becomes too warm
or too cold,
will light up red in the
corresponding temperature display.
An alarm will also sound until the cause
of the alarm is rectified or the alarm is
switched off.
The set temperature determines when
the appliance recognises a temperature
as being too warm or too cold.
The audible and visual signals may be
activated in the following situations:
- Too much warm ambient air enters
the wine unit when you are rearran-
ging or taking out wine bottles.
- You are storing a large number of
wine bottles.
- There was a power failure.
- There is a fault with the wine unit.

The warmest temperature recorded in
the wine conditioning zone concerned
will flash for about 1minute in the tem-
perature display for the wine condition-
ing zone. Then the temperature display
will change to the current temperature
in the wine conditioning zone.
Door alarm
The wine unit is fitted with a door
alarm to avoid increased energy con-
sumption if the door is left open and
prevent the stored wine bottles being
affected by temperature fluctuations.
If the appliance door is left open for a
longer period of time,
will light up
yellow in the display. An alarm will also
sound and the interior lighting will flash.
The amount of time until the door alarm
is triggered can be changed (see “Ad-
justing settings – Changing the time un-

SommelierSet
The SommelierSet can be used to have
the wine in your wine unit ready for
drinking. You can store wine glasses and
accessories, decant your wine and store
open bottles in the wine unit.
Removable tray with silicone mat
The wooden components in your
wine unit are untreated, delicate and
not protected from external influ-
ences.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling from wooden components im-
mediately.
Use the silicone mat to protect the
tray.
You can use the removable tray to carry
the decanted wine directly to your
guests.
The silicone mat ensures that glasses
are held securely on the tray.
In addition, the wipe-clean silicone mat
prevents unsightly stains on the tray.
When reinserting the tray, make sure
that the tray and silicone mat are
clean. Soiling that enters the appliance
from outside (such as food or drink
residues) can cause mould to form in
the wine unit at increased temperature
and humidity levels.

Cleaning and care
39
The data plate located inside the wine
unit 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 wine unit.
Health risk due to soiling entering
the appliance.
Soiling that enters the appliance from
outside (such as food or drink
residues) can cause mould to form in
the wine unit at increased temperat-
ure and humidity levels.
Only place clean wine bottles and
clean accessories in the wine unit.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning agents and care products
used inside the wine unit 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 cleaning agents
- Oven sprays
- Cleaning agents for ceramic hobs (ex-
cept to clean the glass front)
- Glass-cleaning agents (except to
clean the glass front: for this, a glass-
cleaning agent containing a little alco-
hol, but no citric or similar additives,
may be used)
- Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes
(e.g. pot scourers)
- Eraser stain remover blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge
cloth and lukewarm water with a little
washing-up liquid to clean the surfaces
of the appliance.
Preparing the wine unit for
cleaning
Switch the wine unit off.
appears in the display and the cooling
system is switched off.
Take any wine bottles out of the wine
unit and store them in a cool place.
If necessary, take out all removable
parts for cleaning (see “Familiarisa-
tion – Adjusting the interior fittings”).
Take out any removable accessories
for cleaning.
Remove the labelling strips (Note-
Boards) from the wooden shelves be-
fore cleaning them.

Cleaning and care
40
Cleaning the inside of the appli-
ance
Clean the wine unit 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.
Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash
in a dishwasher.
The wooden shelves should only be
wiped with a well wrung-out damp
cloth. They must not be allowed to
get wet.
Risk of damage from unsuitable
cleaning agents.
Cleaning the labelling strips (Note-
Boards) with a cleaning agent may
damage the coating on them.
Use clean water only to wipe the
NoteBoards.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a cloth.
Leave the door open to air the wine
unit sufficiently for a short while and
to prevent odour build-up.
Removing and cleaning the sil-
icone mats
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
Washing the silicone mats in a dish-
washer or washing machine will dam-
age them.
The silicone mats should only be
cleaned by hand.
Remove the silicone mats from the
tray and from the bottle box.
Clean the silicone mats using a solu-
tion of hot water and a little washing-
up liquid.
Then dry the silicone mats with a
cloth.
Replace the silicone mats on the tray
and into the bottle box only when
they are completely dry.
Risk of damage due to incorrect
drying.
Drying the silicone mats in an oven
will damage them.
Never place the silicone mats in the
oven to dry.

Cleaning the front of the appli-
ance and the side panels
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove. Surfaces may suffer discol-
ouration or damage.
Therefore, it is best to remove soiling
from the appliance front and side
panels immediately.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discolour
the surfaces.
See the information on “Cleaning
agents” at the beginning of this sec-
tion.
Clean the surfaces with a clean
sponge and a solution of warm water
and washing-up liquid. A clean, damp
microfibre cloth without cleaning
agent can also be used.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the appliance door with a pro-
prietary glass cleaner.
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 gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (you could
use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting
brush, for example).
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories in
the wine unit.
Switch the wine unit on.
Place the wine bottles in the wine unit
and close the appliance door.
Automatic defrosting
The wine unit defrosts automatically.

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 cold from escaping, open the appliance as little as possible until the
fault has been corrected.
Problem Cause and remedy
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time, the tem-
perature in the wine unit
is falling.
The ventilation openings have been covered or be-
come dusty.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Dust the ventilation openings regularly.
The appliance door has been opened too frequently. A
large number of wine bottles have been placed in the
appliance.
Only open the appliance door when necessary and
for as short a time as possible.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
The appliance door is not properly closed.
Close the appliance door.
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
The ambient temperature is too high. The higher the
ambient temperature, the longer the compressor runs.
See the information in “Installation – Installation
site”.
The temperature in the wine unit is set too low.
Correct the temperature setting.

General problems with the wine conditioning unit
Problem Cause and remedy
The humidity inside the
lower wine conditioning
zone cannot be set to
the required level.
The display shows changes in the actual humidity in
the wine unit with a time delay.
Check the humidity again at a later point in time.
The ambient temperature is too high or too low.
Ensure an ambient temperature of 19 to 28°C.
The temperature in the lower wine conditioning zone
was set too high.
Set a maximum temperature of 10°C in the lower
wine conditioning zone.
The ambient humidity is too low.
If the ambient humidity is very low, it is sometimes
not possible to achieve a high humidity level inside
the wine unit.
The humidity inside the wine unit depends on how of-
ten and for how long the door is opened, on the ambi-
ent temperature and ambient humidity, on how full the
appliance is, and on the appliance settings.
There is no audible alarm
even though the appli-
ance door has been
open for a long time.
This is not a fault. The alarm has been switched off in
Settings mode. If you want to switch the audible alarm
back on again:
Tap.
Swipe left or right until is shown in the middle.
Tap.
Select the volume you want by swiping the segment
bar to the right.
Confirm the setting you want by tapping the seg-
ment bar.

background
Installation
51
Installation site
Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on the ex-
ternal wine unit panels.
This condensation can cause corro-
sion on external appliance panels.
Install the wine unit with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or air-condi-
tioned room.
After installation, please make sure
that the appliance door closes prop-
erly and that the specified ventilation
gaps are adhered to.
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 wine
unit.
Do not place appliances which give
off heat, such as mini-ovens, double
burner hobs or toasters on the wine
unit.
Fire risk and risk of damage from
open flames.
Open flames can set fire to the wine
unit.
Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the wine unit.
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding on the installation site,
please bear in mind that the energy
consumption increases if the wine unit
is installed near a heater, a cooker or
another 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 wine unit, please
note the following:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The power plug and mains connection
cable must not touch the rear of the
wine unit as they could be damaged
by vibrations from the appliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances into
sockets behind this appliance.
- When installing the wine unit, make
sure that the mains connection 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.

Climate range
This wine unit is designed for use within
specific ambient temperatures (climate
range). Do not use in ambient temperat-
ures for which it is not designed. The cli-
mate range is stated on the data plate
inside the wine unit.
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 lower ambient temperature will cause
the compressor to switch off for longer
periods, meaning that the wine unit is
unable to maintain the required temper-
ature in some circumstances.
Ventilation requirements
Fire risk and risk of damage due
to insufficient ventilation.
If the wine unit is not ventilated suffi-
ciently, the compressor will run more
frequently and for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature for the compressor. This
may, in turn, cause damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the wine unit.
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 wine unit gets
warm. Sufficient space for proper ventil-
ation must therefore be ensured (see
Appliance dimensions”).
background
Installation
53
Installing several wine units/re-
frigeration appliances
Risk of damage due to condensa-
tion on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up between
the external wine unit panels, which
can cause corrosion.
Do not place different wine units/re-
frigeration appliances directly next to
one another.
A distance of at least 70mm must be
maintained between the wine units/
refrigeration appliances.
Changing the door hinging
The wine unit is supplied with right-
hand hinging. If left-hand hinging is re-
quired, the hinges must be changed
(see accompanying installation instruc-
tions).
Tip: Place a suitable cover on the floor
in front of the wine unit to protect the
appliance door and your floor from dam-
age.
Risk of injury and damage due to
live electrical components.
You will come into contact with live
electrical components while you are
changing the hinging.
Switch off the appliance at the wall
socket and withdraw the plug before
changing the 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.

Fitting supplied wall spacers
The wall spacers supplied must be
used in order to achieve declared en-
ergy consumption values and to pre-
vent the build-up of condensation at
high ambient temperatures. The wine
unit depth is increased by approx.
15mm for appliances with wall
spacers fitted.
If the wall spacers are not used, the
functionality of the wine unit is not af-
fected. Energy consumption does,
however, increase slightly with less
distance between the appliance and
the wall.
Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the wine unit on the bottom left and
right.
Installing the wine unit
Risk of injury and damage due to
the wine unit tipping over.
There is an increased risk of injury
and damage if the wine unit is in-
stalled by a single person.
Two people are always required to in-
stall the wine unit.
Risk of damage and injury caused
by appliance door impact.
The appliance door could hit the wall
of the room resulting in damage to
the door. If the door is made of glass,
the damaged glass can lead to injur-
ies.
Protect the appliance door by fitting a
felt stopper, for example, to the wall
of the room.
Risk of damaging the floor.
Moving the wine unit can cause dam-
age to the floor.
Move the wine unit carefully on floors
that are sensitive to scratching.
For easier installation, there are trans-
port handles on the back at the top
and transport wheels underneath the
wine unit.
Tip: The wine unit must be empty when
it is installed.
Prepare the wine unit for installation
as close as possible to its intended in-
stallation site.
Connect the wine unit to the electri-
city supply as described in “Installa-
tion – Electrical connection”.
Move the wine unit carefully to its in-
tended installation site.

Electrical connection
The wine unit must only be connected
to an earthed socket using the mains
connection cable supplied.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the wine unit has been installed. If
the socket is not easily accessible, en-
sure that a suitable means of discon-
nection for each pole is provided on the
installation side.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the wine unit to a multi-
socket adapter or to an extension
cable can overload the mains con-
nection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable or multi-socket ad-
apter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-
tion for connecting the wine unit.
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, backup 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.
