5

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 8g of refrigerant at least 1m
3
of
room space is required. The amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.
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.

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.
The ventilation cross-sections must not be covered or blocked in
any way. This can impair the proper ventilation of the appliance, in-
crease the energy consumption and cause damage to the compon-
ents.
9

Warning and Safety instructions
Risk of damage due to greasy or oily foods. If the refrigeration ap-
pliance or the appliance door is used for storing food which contains
fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic
components. 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 due to flammable mixes of gases. Do not
store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical compon-
ents can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. The spray cans in
question can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a
flame symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ig-
nite.
Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance. This
can cause sparking and explosion.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. Do not store cans or
bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in
the freezer zone. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. When cooling drinks
quickly in the freezer zone, make sure bottles are not left in for more
than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.
Danger of injury. Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the
appliance with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food
or to the metal.
Danger of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands
and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer zone. The very low temperature of the frozen food can
cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defros-
ted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value and
spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it
has been cooked.
Only use drinking water when making ice cubes.
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.
10

Warning and Safety instructions
To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to
the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must
not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a
24-hour period is given on the data plate: “Freezing capacity...kg/
24hrs”.
Accessories and spare parts
Miele assumes no liability for the use of accessories that are not
genuine Miele accessories. Miele is not liable for warranty, guarantee
and/or product liability claims if damage or defects are due to the use
or installation of accessories that do not originate from Miele or have
not been approved by Miele.
Miele original spare parts are kept in stock for at least 10years and
up to 15years after discontinuation of your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and care
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice to rinse the ice cube maker
and the water pipes. Do this:
- before using for the first time
- if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time (more than
5days)
- regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month) to re-
move ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the wa-
ter supply)
- before switching off the ice cube maker for a long period of time
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause
the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this 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.
11

Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers. Defrosting sprays and
de-icers can contain substances which could damage the plastic
parts or which might cause a build-up of explosive 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Children playing could become trapped in the refrigeration appli-
ance and could suffocate.
- Remove the appliance door(s).
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the shelves in the refrigeration appliance so that children
cannot climb inside.
- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking them-
selves in the appliance 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 can ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source.
During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged.
This prevents refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled manner
(see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
12

Warning and Safety instructions
- 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.
13

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.
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.

sections.
When deciding on the installation site,
please bear in mind that your refrigera-
tion appliance will consume more en-
ergy if installed near to a heater, a
cooker or another appliance that gives
off heat. Avoid direct sunlight. Higher
ambient temperatures increase energy
consumption as the compressor runs
for longer.
17

Installation
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 10to32°C
N 16to32°C
ST 16to38°C
T 16to43°C
SN-ST 10to38°C
SN-T 10to43°C
A freezer from the SN climate range
can operate without any difficulties in
rooms with a cooler ambient temper-
ature (down to +5°C).
Side-by-side installation
Risk of damage due to condensa-
tion on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity
and a lack of ventilation, condensa-
tion can build up on external appli-
ance panels, which can cause corro-
sion.
Do not place refrigeration appliances
directly next to or on top of one an-
other if the refrigeration appliance is
not approved for this.
Your refrigeration appliance can possibly
be installed alongside another refrigera-
tion appliance with an integrated heat-
ing unit if each appliance is built into a
separate niche.

cific information about which combina-
tions will work with your refrigeration
appliance.
18

Installation
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
(see “Installation dimensions” and the
installation instructions).
Connecting to the power supply
Risk of damage due to automat-
ically opening door. Damage to the
drive unit of the appliance door.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
yet fully installed in the kitchen unit,
but you have already connected it to
the power supply, the door may open
unexpectedly. If the appliance door is
too close to the niche floor, the door
may drag on the floor and damage
parts of the drive unit.
Do not insert the mains plug into the
socket until the refrigeration appli-
ance has been installed correctly.
- 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.
- When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, make sure that the mains con-
nection cable does not get trapped or
damaged.

damaged.
- Gluing the knock sensor to the fur-
niture front optimises the transmis-
sion of the knocking signal. Before in-
stallation, it is essential to remove the
protective foil from the contact sur-
face of the sensor.
- Permanently securing the knock
sensor with the screws that are in-
cluded helps it function more reliably.
The sensitivity of the knock sensor is set
using a slide control (see “Automatic
door opening (ActiveDoor)” in “Guide to
the appliance”).
Spacer plates
Risk of damage caused by the
door dragging on the floor. Damage
to the drive unit of the appliance
door.
If the spacer plates included are not
installed in the niche, the distance
from the appliance door to the niche
floor will be too short.
Install the spacer plates on the niche
floor.
Always maintain a distance of
300mm from the front edge of the
niche.
The way in which the spacer plates are
installed has an impact on the func-
tion.
The distance from the appliance door
to the niche floor is increased.

Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps
To prevent the appliance door from
being struck from the side or becom-
ing jammed whilst the door is open-
ing automatically, a gap of at least
4mm must be maintained.
Depending on the style of kitchen fur-
niture, the thickness and edge radius of
the furniture door and the gap that runs
around the door, vertically and horizont-
ally, are specified.
- Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door and
the housing unit door above or below it
must be at least 4mm.
21

Installation
- Vertical gap
If the joint gap between the refrigera-
tion appliance furniture door panel
and adjoining kitchen furniture front
or wall on the hinged side is too
small, the refrigeration appliance
door may collide with it when
opened.
Check the furniture door panel for
any collisions.
Determine the required joint gap
width based on the thickness and
edge radius of the furniture door
panel.
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.

Safety notes for the mains water con-
nection
Risk of injury and material dam-
age if mains water connection is not
connected properly.
Failing to connect the mains water
connection properly can result in per-
sonal 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 mains wa-
ter supply.
Close the stopcock before connect-
ing the refrigeration appliance to the
mains water supply.
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 IEC61770 and
EN61770.
Connection to the water supply must
comply with the applicable regula-
tions in the country where the appli-
ance is being installed. All units and
systems used to supply water to the
refrigeration appliance must also
comply with the applicable regula-
tions in the respective country.
For correct functioning (dispensing rate,
size of ice cubes, noise level) the water
connection pressure needs to be
between 150kPa and 620kPa (1.5bar
and 6.2bar).
If the water connection pressure ex-
ceeds 620kPa (6.2bar), a pressure re-
ducing valve must be fitted.
The water supply line and the inlet
solenoid valve on the refrigeration appli-
ance are suitable for a water connection
pressure of up to 1000kPa (10bar).
Connect the hose directly to the
mains water supply. Avoid connec-
tion to a water supply in which the
water might stagnate.
Stagnant water in the water supply
can affect the taste of water and ice
cubes. Use fresh water to ensure that
the quality of the ice cubes remains
high.
Only use the hose supplied. The hose
must not be shortened, extended or
replaced by a different hose.
The hose must only be replaced by
an original Miele spare part. The
food-grade hose is available to order
from the Miele webshop, from the
Miele Customer Service Department
or from your local Miele dealer.
A stopcock must be provided between
the hose and the mains water connec-
tion to ensure that the water supply can
be cut off if necessary.
Make sure that the stopcock remains
accessible after the appliance has
been installed.
26

Installation
Water supply
Ensure that the connections are tight
and leak-proof.
Risk of damage to the hose.
The water supply from the stopcock
to the ice cube maker has been inter-
rupted.
Do not bend or damage the hose.
A stopcock with a metric R3/4thread
must be incorporated when connect-
ing to the water supply.
The solenoid valve is located at the
back of the refrigeration appliance on
the bottom right. It also has a metric
R3/4thread.
–Connecting the hose to the refriger-
ation appliance
Pull the cover off the thread of the
solenoid valve.

fore installing the appliance in the niche.
Slowly open the stopcock and
check the screw connections.
Electrical connection
The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected to an earthed socket using
the mains connection cable supplied.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the refrigeration appliance has
been installed. If the socket is not easily
accessible, ensure that a suitable
means of disconnection is provided on
the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the refrigeration appli-
ance to a multi-socket plug adapter
or to an extension lead can overload
the cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply
with VDE0100 requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-
tion for connecting the refrigeration ap-
pliance.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
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.
28

Installation
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)

Operation
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.
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of
-18°C is required. This will prolong the
shelf life of your food and retain its qual-
ity.
As soon as the temperature rises above
-10°C, the bacteria become active in
the food again so it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has been
cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
bacteria.
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 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 de-
signed for use within specific ambient
temperatures (climate range). Do not
use in ambient temperatures for
which it is not designed.
By keeping the freezer zone at a con-
stant temperature of -18°C and taking
appropriate hygiene measures you can
maximise the storage life of your food
and avoid food waste.
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature
display shows the current maximum
freezer section temperature in the re-
frigeration 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 in 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
- Freezer section: -15to-28°C
Temperature and door alarm
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.
42

Operation
Temperature alarm
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 becomes too
warm,
will light up red in the tem-
perature display of the freezer zone.
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.
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.
- There was a power cut.
- 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

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

Operation
Freezing and storing fresh food
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 2kg of fresh
food, switch on the SuperFreeze func-
tion for 6hours before placing the
food in the freezer.
When freezing even larger amounts of
food, switch on the SuperFreeze func-
tion for 24hours before placing the
food in the freezer.
This helps the frozen food which is
already stored in the freezer to stay
frozen.
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Please note that some food is not suit-
able for freezing. These include, for ex-
ample, vegetables that are usually
eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.
Placing frozen food in the freezer
If the food is too heavy, this can
cause damage.
Loading food which is too heavy can
cause damage to the freezer draw-
ers/glass shelves.
Do not exceed the relevant maximum
load:
Freezer drawer = 12kg
Glass shelf = 35kg
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
To prevent food sticking together
when frozen, make sure that the pack-
aging and containers are dry.
To ensure that food freezes through to
the core quickly, do not exceed the fol-
lowing packaging and container sizes:
- Fruit and vegetables: max. 1kg
- Meat: max. 2.5kg
–Freezing small amounts of food
Divide the food between all the freezer
drawers.
Always place the food as far back as
possible in the freezer drawer so that
it freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible.
–Freezing the maximum amount of
food (see data plate)
Divide the food between all the freezer
drawers.
Always place the food as far back as
possible in the freezer drawer so that
it freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator
section, switch on the SuperCool func-
tion.
If you want to cool a large amount of
drinks, or if you want to cool drinks in
the freezer section, select Party mode
in Settings mode.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour. Otherwise they
could burst.
46

Operation
Making ice cubes
Check and pay attention to the following
before switching the ice cube maker on:
- The ice cube maker must be clean.
- The refrigeration appliance must be
switched on.
- Ice cubes can only be made when the
ice cube drawer is completely closed.
- There is a clip-on container at the top
of the ice cube drawer. If you ever
need a larger quantity of ice cubes,
you can simply remove the clip-on
container. The ice cube maker then
automatically produces ice cubes until
the maximum fill level in the ice cube
drawer is reached.
Risk to health due to 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.
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice
cubes made after the ice cube maker
is started up, as the water will have
been used for the initial rinsing of the
water supply line.
This applies to the initial 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 5days).
When commissioning the appliance
for the first time, it can take up to
24hours for the first ice cubes to drop
out of the ice cube maker and collect
in the drawer.
After the ice cube maker has been
turned off and on again, this process
lasts max. 6hours.
Only make normal domestic quantities
of ice cubes with the ice cube maker.
The ice cube maker can make up to
approx. 0.8kg of ice cubes in
24hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
appliance depends on the temperature
in the freezer section. The lower the
temperature, the more ice cubes are
produced in a certain period of time.
Switching the ice cube maker on
and off
Tap.
Swipe left or right until is shown in
the middle.
Tap.
will light up orange when the ice
cube maker is switched on.
Once the freezer section has cooled
down to its set temperature, the ice
cube maker will fill with water.
As soon as ice cubes are produced, they
will empty automatically from the integ-
rated ice cube tray and into the clip-on
container. The clip-on container can be
removed if required.
47

Operation
Ice cube production is halted automat-
ically when the clip-on container or the
ice cube drawer is full. The drawer will
not fill up to the top edge.
Tip: Increase the fill volume of ice cubes
by spreading the ice cubes out evenly
from time to time.
Tip: Empty the clip-on container or the
ice cube drawer at regular intervals, or if
you have not produced any ice for more
than a week. This will ensure that you al-
ways have fresh ice and the ice cubes
will not form a clump.
The ice cube maker can be turned off
independently of the freezer section if
you do not want to make any ice
cubes.
If the ice cube maker is switched off,
food can be placed in the ice cube
drawer and frozen.
Push the ice cube drawer all the way
back in when you stop ice cube pro-
duction.

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.
Other problems
Problem Cause and remedy
The compressor runs
continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed when less cooling is required.
This increases the compressor running time.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time. The
temperature in the refri-
geration appliance is too
low.
The appliance door has been opened frequently. Or
large amounts of fresh food have been placed in the
