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

rect use or operation of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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.

 Warning: fire hazard/flammable materials. This symbol is on the

compressor and indicates flammable materials. Do not remove this

sticker.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 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.

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

been built in.

 The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during

installation, maintenance and repair work.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-

dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise 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 refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special lamp to cope

with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical res-

istance, abrasion 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 refrigeration appliance contains several light sources with at

least energy efficiency classF.

Proper installation

 When installing the refrigeration appliance, it is a mandatory re-

quirement to follow the installation instructions supplied with it.

 Always wear protective gloves when transporting and installing the

refrigeration appliance.

 Two people are required to install the refrigeration appliance.

 Change the door hinging (if necessary) as described in the installa-

tion instructions supplied with the appliance.

 Only install the refrigeration appliance in a solid, rectangular and

level housing unit, positioned on an even and level floor.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or

the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic

components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.

 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the

refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g.

spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of

gases to ignite.

 Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.

an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance.

Danger of sparking and explosion.

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

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

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

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

Accessories and spare parts

 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-

ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-

imum of 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.

 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this ap-

pliance.

Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-

ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or

pointed objects to

- remove frost and ice,

- separate frozen food or remove ice trays.

 Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost

it. These can damage the plastic parts.

 Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain

substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might

cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

Warning and Safety instructions

Transport

 Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-

ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.

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

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

Disposal of your old appliance

 Children playing could become trapped in the appliance and could

suffocate.

- Remove the appliance doors.

- Remove the drawers.

- Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so chil-

dren cannot climb inside.

- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This

will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking them-

selves in and endangering their lives.

 Risk of electric shock!

- Cut the plug off the mains connection cable.

- Cut the mains connection cable off the old appliance.

Dispose of the plug and mains connection cable separately from the

old appliance.

 During and after disposal, make sure that the refrigeration appli-

ance is not placed near petrol or other flammable gases and liquids.

 Risk of fire due to escaping oil or refrigerant!

The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In high

enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they

come into contact with an external heat source.

During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged in

order to prevent refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled man-

ner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).

 Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-

age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

- puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,

- bending any pipework, or

- scratching the surface coating.

Warning and Safety instructions

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal opera-

tion.

 The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penet-

rates the airways.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging ma-

terial

The packaging material is used for hand-

ling and protects the appliance from

transport damage. The packaging ma-

terial used is selected from materials

which are environmentally friendly for

disposal and can generally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging material re-

duces the use of raw materials. Use ma-

terial-specific collection points for valu-

able materials and take advantage of re-

turn options. Your Miele dealer will take

the packaging material away.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances con-

tain many valuable materials. They also

contain certain materials, compounds

and components which were essential

for their correct functioning and safety.

These could be hazardous to human

health and to the environment if dis-

posed of with household waste or if

handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with household waste.

Take care not to damage your refrigera-

tion appliance before or during disposal

in an authorised, environmentally

friendly manner.

This is to ensure that refrigerant in the

cooling circuit and oil in the compressor

is contained, and will not leak into the

environment.

Instead, please make use of officially

designated collection and disposal

points to dispose of and recycle elec-

trical and electronic appliances in your

local community, with your dealer or

with Miele, free of charge. By law, you

are solely responsible for deleting any

personal data from the old appliance

prior to disposal. You are legally obliged

to remove any old batteries which are

not securely enclosed by the appliance

and to remove any lamps without des-

troying them, where this is possible.

These must be taken to a suitable col-

lection point where they can be handed

in free of charge. Please ensure that

your old appliance poses no risk to chil-

dren while being stored for disposal.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation site

 Risk of damage and danger of in-

jury due to the refrigeration appliance

tipping over.

This refrigeration appliance is very

heavy and can tip forwards when the

appliance door is open.

Keep the appliance door(s) closed

until the refrigeration appliance has

been built in. The refrigeration appli-

ance must be secured in its building-

in niche in accordance with the oper-

ating and installation instructions.

 Fire risk and risk of damage from

appliances which give off heat.

Appliances which give off heat can

catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-

tion appliance.

This refrigeration appliance must not

be installed underneath a hob.

 Fire risk and danger of damage

from open flames.

Open flames can set fire to the refri-

geration appliance.

Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)

away from the refrigeration appli-

ance.

This appliance should be installed in a

dry, well-ventilated room.

 Risk of damage due to high hu-

midity.

In environments with high humidity,

condensation can build up on ex-

ternal refrigeration appliance panels.

This condensate can cause corrosion

on external appliance panels.

Install the refrigeration appliance in a

dry and/or air-conditioned room with

sufficient ventilation.

After installation please make sure

that the appliance door(s) closes

(close) properly and the refrigeration

appliance is installed in accordance

with these installation instructions. It

is essential to comply with the spe-

cified ventilation cutout require-

ments.

When deciding on the installation site,

please bear in mind that your refrigera-

tion appliance will use more energy if in-

stalled near to a heater, a cooker or an-

other appliance that gives off heat.

Avoid direct sunlight.

The higher the ambient temperature, the

longer the compressor runs and the

higher the energy consumption is.

When installing the refrigeration appli-

ance, please note the following:

- The socket must be easily accessible

in an emergency, not concealed be-

hind the appliance.

- The mains plug and mains connection

cable must not touch the rear of the

refrigeration appliance as they could

be damaged by vibrations from the

appliance.

- Other appliances must also not be

plugged into a socket located directly

behind the refrigeration appliance.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

- When installing the refrigeration appli-

ance, make sure that the mains con-

nection cable does not get trapped or

damaged.

- Do not position or operate multi-

socket adapters, distributor strips or

other electronic devices (e.g. halogen

transformers) at the rear of the appli-

ance.

- The floor at the installation site must

be horizontal and level and must be as

high as the surrounding floor.

Side-by-side combinations

 Risk of damage due to condensa-

tion on external appliance panels.

In environments with high humidity,

condensation can build up on ex-

ternal appliance panels, which can

cause corrosion.

Do not place different refrigeration

appliance models directly next to or

on top of one other.

Exception: your refrigeration appliance

can be installed next to another refriger-

ation appliance with an integrated heat-

ing unit if each appliance is built into a

separate niche. Please contact your

dealer for specific information about

which combinations will work with your

refrigeration appliance.

Climate range

This refrigeration appliance is designed

for use within specific ambient temper-

atures (climate range). Do not use in

ambient temperatures for which it is not

designed. The climate range is stated on

the data plate in the interior cabinet of

the refrigeration appliance.

Climate range Ambient temper-

ature

SN 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 leads to

the compressor switching off for longer

periods. This can cause the internal

temperature in the refrigeration appli-

ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-

orating and going off.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Ventilation

 Risk of fire and damage due to in-

sufficient ventilation.

If the refrigeration appliance is not

ventilated sufficiently, the com-

pressor will run more frequently and

for longer periods. This will result in

increased energy consumption and a

higher operating temperature for the

compressor. This may, in turn, cause

damage to the compressor.

Please ensure that there is adequate

ventilation around the refrigeration

appliance.

It is essential to observe the required

ventilation gaps.

The ventilation gaps must not be

covered or blocked in any way.

They must also be regularly dusted.

Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-

ance gets warm. The appliance housing

unit must therefore be constructed to

allow sufficient space for ventilation

(see “Installation dimensions” and the

installation instructions provided).

Changing the door hinging

 Danger of injury and damage to

the appliance due to heavy door.

There is an increased risk of injury

and damage if the door hinging is in-

stalled by a single person.

Always change the door hinging with

the help of a second person.

The refrigeration appliance is supplied

with hinges on the right. If left-hand

hinging is required, the hinges must be

changed (see accompanying installation

instructions).

Furniture door panel

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen fur-

niture, the thickness and edge radius of

the furniture door panel and the gap that

runs around the door, vertically and hori-

zontally, are specified.

It is essential to pay attention to the

following:

- Horizontal gap

The gap between the furniture door

panel and the housing unit door above

or below it must be at least 3mm.

- Vertical gap

If the gap between the refrigeration

appliance furniture door panel and

the adjoining housing unit door or

wall on the hinged side is too small,

the appliance door could collide with

the adjoining housing unit door or

wall when opened.

It may be necessary to adjust the size

of this gap to suit the thickness and

edge radius of the appliance furniture

door.

This must be taken into consideration

when planning your kitchen and when

replacing an old refrigeration appliance

with a new one to ensure the installa-

tion conditions required are met.

The spring force can be increased to

enable soft opening of the appliance

door.

To reduce the appliance door open-

ing angle:

 Turn the Allen key clockwise.

This tightens the hinges and makes it

harder to open the door wide.

To open the appliance door fully:

 Turn the Allen key anti-clockwise.

The hinge is looser, making it easier to

open the door.

Limiting the opening angle of

the appliance door

The door hinges are set ex works to en-

able the appliance door to be opened

wide.

If the opening angle of the appliance

door needs to be limited to approx. 90°,

the hinge can be adjusted to accom-

modate this.

The locking pins for limiting the door

opening must be fitted before the refri-

geration appliance is installed.

 Insert the locking pins supplied for

limiting the door opening into the

hinges from above.

The appliance door opening angle is

now limited to approx. 90°.

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

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Connecting the refrigeration appliance

 Insert the plug connector into the

socket at the back of the refrigeration

appliance.

Make sure that the plug connector has

clicked into position correctly.

 Insert the plug of the refrigeration ap-

pliance into the socket.

The refrigeration appliance is now con-

nected to the electricity supply.

Saving energy

How to save energy:

Installation site The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher am-

bient temperatures and consumes more energy in the process.

Therefore, you should:

- Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room.

- Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source

(heater element, cooker).

- Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.

- Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 20°C.

- Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any

dust.

Temperature

setting

The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.

The following settings are recommended:

- 4 to 5°C in the refrigerator section.

- PerfectFresh Active zone just above 0°C.

Use Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air

circulation. Therefore, you should:

- Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as

short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that

makes it easy to find in the appliance.

- Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening

them.

- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in

the refrigeration appliance.

- Store food well packaged or covered.

- Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.

- Place frozen food in the fridge zone to defrost.

- Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the ap-

pliance was delivered.

power supply when it is switched off.

Switching on and off

To note when switching off for longer

periods of time

If, during a long absence, the refriger-

ation appliance is switched off but

not cleaned and the door is left shut,

there is a danger of mould building up

inside the appliance.

It is essential to clean the refrigera-

tion appliance before a long period of

absence.

If the refrigeration appliance is not going

to be used for a longer period of time,

observe the following:

 Switch the refrigeration appliance off.

 Switch off at the wall and withdraw

the plug from the socket, or discon-

nect the fuse.

 Take the water container for the hu-

midifier out of the appliance, empty it,

then clean and dry it.

 Clean the refrigeration appliance and

leave the door ajar to air the appliance

and avoid odours building up inside.

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct

temperature to ensure the shelf life of

food. Reducing the temperature reduces

the growth rate of microorganisms.

Food does not spoil as quickly.

The temperature in the refrigeration ap-

pliance will rise:

- The more often the appliance door is

opened and the longer it is kept open

- The more food that is stored in it

- The warmer the food is which is being

put into it

- The higher the ambient temperature

surrounding the refrigeration appli-

ance. This refrigeration appliance is

designed for use within specific ambi-

ent temperatures (climate range). Do

not use in ambient temperatures for

which it is not designed.

...in the refrigerator section and in the

PerfectFresh Active zone

We recommend a temperature of 4°C

in the refrigerator section.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh

Active zone is controlled automatically

and maintained at 0 to 3°C.

Automatic temperature distribution

(DynaCool)

The fan switches on automatically when

the cooling system for the refrigerator

switches on. It distributes the temperat-

ure in the appliance to all areas more

evenly so that all the food will be chilled

to about the same degree.

Temperature display

In normal operation, the temperature

display shows the current average re-

frigerator section temperature inside

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 tem-

perature to then be shown as a constant

temperature on the display.

Setting the temperature

 Touch the temperature display on the

display.

 Swipe left or right until the temperat-

ure 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

- Refrigerator section: 3to9°C

Adjusting the temperature level in the

PerfectFreshActive zone

The temperature in the

PerfectFreshActive zone is automatic-

ally controlled between 0 and 3°C.

However, if you would like it to be

warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish,

you can adjust the temperature slightly

in increments.

 Tap.

 Swipe left or right until is shown in

the middle.

 Tap.

 Swipe left or right until the setting you

want (1: lowest temperature; 9:

highest temperature) is shown in the

middle.

 Tap on the setting you want to con-

firm.

The correct temperature

The factory default setting for the

temperature level is5.

Under certain circumstances, a set-

ting from1 to4 can cause the tem-

perature to fall below 0°C. This can

cause food to freeze.

Check the temperature setting.

Using Super cool

SuperCool

When switched on, the SuperCool

function can be used to rapidly re-

duce the temperature in the fridge

zone to its lowest setting (depending

on the ambient temperature). The refri-

geration appliance will work at full

power and lower the temperature. Se-

lect this function for the rapid chilling

of large amounts of fresh food or drink.

When the SuperCool function is

switched on, the appliance may make

more noise than usual.

The SuperCool function should be

switched on 4hours before placing

food or drinks in the fridge zone.

The SuperCool function will switch

itself off automatically after approx.

12hours. The refrigeration appliance

will then run at normal power again.

Tip: To save energy, you can switch the

SuperCool function off yourself once

food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

Switching SuperCool on and off

 Touch the temperature display for the

fridge zone.

 Touch to switch the SuperCool

function on and off again.

When the SuperCool function is

switched on,  will light up orange.

Selecting further settings

Explanation of the different set-

tings

Only the settings that require further ex-

planation are described below.

The door alarm and other warnings are

automatically suppressed when you

are in Settings mode.

Party mode

The Party mode function is particu-

larly recommended for the rapid

chilling of large amounts of fresh food

or drink.

Tip: Switch on the Party mode func-

tion approx. 4hours before placing

food and drinks in the appliance.

When Party mode is switched on, the

SuperCool function is switched on

automatically.

Party mode cannot be switched on if

Holiday mode is switched on.

The Party mode function will switch

itself off automatically after approx.

24hours. However, you can switch the

Party mode function off early at any

time.

Holiday mode

The Holiday mode function is use-

ful when you go on holiday, for ex-

ample, if you do not wish to switch off

the refrigerator section completely or

do not need a high degree of cooling.

If Holiday mode is switched on, this

will be indicated on the start display. It

can be switched off via the start display

or Settings mode.

The refrigerator section is regulated at a

temperature of 15°C, which automatic-

ally sets the temperature in the

PerfectFresh Active zone to between

9and12°C. In this way, the refrigerator

section remains in operation whilst sav-

ing energy.

Food which does not go off quickly can

be stored in the refrigeration appliance

for some time at this moderate refri-

gerator temperature. Energy consump-

tion is lower than in normal operation.

This also prevents the build-up of

odours and mould, which can occur if

the refrigerator section is switched off

and the appliance door is closed.

 Health risk caused by decompos-

ing food.

The usability and quality of food in

the fridge zone may deteriorate if the

temperature remains above 4°C for

an extended period.

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 fan in the rear wall

of the appliance.

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are

different temperature regions in the re-

frigerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest sec-

tion of the refrigeration section. Make

use of the different zones when placing

food in the appliance.

This refrigeration appliance has auto-

matic dynamic cooling, which helps to

keep an even temperature when the

fan is running. The difference between

the various temperature zones is

therefore less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area in the refrigerator

section is at the top in the front area

and in the door. Use this for storing but-

ter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the fridge zone is

directly above the PerfectFreshActive

zone dividing plate and at the back of

the appliance. The temperature in the

PerfectFreshActive zone compartments

is even colder.

A temperature setting of 4°C com-

bined with appropriate hygiene

measures delays the propagation of

bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,

which can lead to serious food pois-

oning.

Therefore, you should use these areas in

the fridge zone and in the

PerfectFreshActive zone to store all

delicate and highly perishable food, in-

cluding:

- Fish, meat, poultry

- Cold cuts, ready meals

- Dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream

- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough

Storing food in the fridge zone

- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk

products

- Hummus, vegetable spreads, plant-

based cream cheese substitutes

- Pre-packed vegetables

- Other fresh food (with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of ap-

prox. 4°C)

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the fridge

zone is in packaging or covered properly

(some exceptions apply in the

PerfectFreshActive zone).

This will prevent food odours from af-

fecting other food, stop food from drying

out and also prevent any cross-contam-

ination of bacteria. This is particularly

important when storing meat products.

Make sure that food such as raw meat

and fish in particular does not come into

contact with other food.

By ensuring that the temperature

settings are correct and by taking ap-

propriate hygiene measures, you can

prolong the storage life of your food

considerably. This prevents food

waste.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

PerfectFresh Active zone

The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies

the requirements of a chill compart-

ment to DINEN62552:2020.

The PerfectFresh Active zone provides

ideal storage conditions for fruit, veget-

ables, fish, meat and dairy products.

Food stays fresh considerably longer

while retaining both flavour and vitam-

ins.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh

Active zone is controlled automatically

and maintained at 0to3°C. While

lower than the temperature in a stand-

ard refrigerator section, this is the op-

timum temperature range for storing

fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.

The humidity level in the PerfectFresh

Active zone can also be regulated to suit

the food being stored. If the humidi-

fier is switched on, water vapour is

supplied to the stored fruit and veget-

ables. The humidifier switches on ap-

proximately every 90minutes and each

time the appliance door is opened. Food

retains its own moisture if stored at a

higher humidity and so does not dry out

as quickly.

Remember that the fresher the food

when placed in the appliance, the

longer it will stay fresh.

Take food out of the PerfectFresh Act-

ive zone approx.30to60minutes be-

fore using it. The aroma and taste do

not fully develop until the food has

reached room temperature.

Humidity-controlled compart-

ment

| |

The upper humidity-controlled com-

0to3°C, and the humidity level is in-

creased depending on the position of

the compartment cover: not in-

creased or increased.

Humidity level not increased

When the setting is used, the humid-

ity-controlled compartment becomes a

dry compartment (see “Dry compart-

ment”).

Increased humidity

At this setting, the humidity-controlled

compartment is suitable for storing fruit

and vegetables.

Increased humidity in the humidity-

controlled compartment can cause a

build-up of condensate.

If you find that too much condensate

has formed and this is affecting the

food, proceed as follows:

Wipe off any condensate with a

cloth.

Open the compartment cover by

moving it to the low humidity posi-

tion.

Switch the humidifier off.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

Humidifier

When the humidifier is switched on,

water vapour is supplied to the fruit

and vegetables stored in the humidity-

controlled compartment each time the

appliance door is opened and approx-

imately every 90minutes. The water

vapour provides additional humidity in

the humidity-controlled compartment.

The humidifier and its water container

are located in the dividing plate between

the refrigerator section and

PerfectFresh Active zone.

Check and pay attention to the following

before switching the humidifier on (see

“Selecting further settings”):

- The water container must have been

cleaned, filled with water and fitted

securely.

- The cover for the humidity-controlled

compartment must be closed

(setting).

The water in the water container

should last for approx. 4months.

The water container will only need to

be refilled if the humidifier is no longer

producing any water vapour.

 Risk of damage due to incorrectly

filled water container.

Liquids containing sugar can damage

the humidifier.

Use only fresh drinking water to fill

the water container.

 Risk to health due to contamin-

ated water.

Using contaminated water can lead

to poisoning.

Use only fresh drinking water to fill

the water container.

 Risk to health due to contamin-

ated water.

Bacteria can develop in water which

has been sitting in the water con-

tainer for too long. This poses a risk

to your health.

Clean the water container for the hu-

midifier and fill it with fresh drinking

water if the refrigeration appliance,

the refrigerator section or the humidi-

fier has been switched off for an ex-

tended period of time (more than

2days).

Clean the water container for the hu-

midifier and fill it with fresh drinking

water if Holiday mode has been

switched on for an extended period

of time (more than 2weeks).

Dry compartment

|

The dry compartment has a temperat-

ure of 0to3°C and the humidity is not

increased .

The dry compartment is ideal for storing

food which goes off quickly, such as:

- Fresh fish and shellfish

- Meat, poultry and sausage

- Deli salads

- Dairy products, such as milk, yoghurt,

cheese, double cream, etc.

- Plant-based products such as tofu,

oat drinks, hummus, vegetable

spreads, meat and cheese substi-

tutes, etc.

- Any type of food can in fact be stored

in this compartment, as long as it is

packaged.

Please note that food rich in protein

deteriorates faster than other types

of food.

Shellfish, for example, deteriorates

faster than fish, and fish deteriorates

faster than meat.

For hygiene reasons, always keep

these foods covered or wrapped.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep

well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):

 Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial

to maintaining freshness.

 Clean the compartments in the PerfectFresh Active zone before storing food in

them.

 Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.

 Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see

“Storing food in the fridge zone – Food which is not suitable for storage in the

fridge zone”).

 Select the correct PerfectFresh Active compartment for the food as well as the

correct position for the compartment cover (humidity not increased or humidity

increased).

 An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is

achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if the food is stored

unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.

 Do not overfill the compartments.

 If you find that too much condensate has formed when using the setting and

this is affecting the food:

- Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.

- Place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drain

away.

- Open the compartment cover by moving it to the low humidity position and

switch the humidifier off.

 If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight

packaging.

 If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is too high or

too low, try regulating it slightly first by changing the temperature in the fridge

zone by 1or2°C. If ice crystals start to form on the base of the PerfectFresh

Active compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperat-

ure will damage the food.

 If adjusting the temperature in the fridge zone does not remedy the problem, ad-

just the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “The correct temperat-

ure”).

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 water must not get into the

drain hole.

Defrosting

Fridge zone and

PerfectFresh Active zone

The fridge zone and the

PerfectFresh Active zone defrost auto-

matically.

The condensate drains through a con-

densate channel and condensate drain

hole into the evaporation system at the

back of the refrigeration appliance. The

warmth generated by the compressor

causes the condensate to evaporate

automatically.

Keep the condensate channel and

drain hole clean to enable this. Con-

densate must be able to drain away

unhindered at all times.

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.

Troubleshooting

Many malfunctions and faults can be easily remedied. You can save time and

money in many cases, as you do not need to contact Customer Service.

More information to help you remedy faults yourself can be found at

www.miele.co.uk/support/customer-assistance.

To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door

while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.

Problem Cause and remedy

The compressor is

switching on more fre-

quently and for longer

periods of time. The

temperature in the refri-

geration appliance is too

low.
