Risk of electric shock!
The appliance must only be switched
on when it has been installed in ac-
cordance with the installation in-
structions.
Ground the appliance.
The appliance must not be grounded
via a gas pipe.
If in doubt, have a suitably qualified
and experienced electrician check
that the installation complies with rel-
evant regulations.
Do not install a fuse into neutral cur-
rent or grounding electrical circuit.
Do not use extension cords or un-
grounded (two prong) adapters.
Do not use a frayed or damaged
power cord.
Risk of electric shock!
For protection against electric shock,
this appliance is equipped with a
pole-free plug which is protected
against reverse polarity. The electri-
cal outlet must be properly
grounded.
Do not remove the round grounding
connector pin from the plug.
Use only a grounded plug adapter.
Wait for 1hour after installation before
plugging the appliance into the power
supply. This allows coolant and refriger-
ator oil to settle in accordance with reg-
ulations.
Ensure that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds with the connection
voltage of the appliance. A power sup-
ply of 110–120V, 60Hz and 10–
16Amp, which is protected by a power
switch or a fuse, is required to operate
the appliance.
The manufacturer recommends operat-
ing the appliance on a dedicated circuit
to avoid overloading the electrical cir-
cuit.
All relevant legal electrical, fire, and
building regulations must be observed
when installing the electrical outlet and/
or the appliance.
In certain countries, appliances are re-
quired to be connected to the electrical
supply via a wall-mounted ON/OFF
switch.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock,
or other injuries, the appliance must be
installed and connected by a suitably
qualified electrician in accordance with
all relevant local and national regula-
tions and standards, including fire pre-
vention.
The socket must not be concealed be-
hind the appliance and must be easily
accessible so that the appliance can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical
supply in case of an emergency.
Electrical connection
41
If the outlet is no longer accessible after
installation, an additional means of dis-
connection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole dis-
connect device with a contact opening
of at least 1/8" (3mm). These can be
circuit breakers, fuses, and relays.
The plug and power cord must not
come into contact with the back of the
appliance as vibrations can cause dam-
age to these components. This could
result in a short circuit.
Do not plug other appliances into elec-
trical outlet behind this appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous energy source e.g.,
solar power.
When the appliance is turned on, power
surges could result in a safety switch-
off. This can damage the electronics.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called energy saving devices ei-
ther. These reduce the amount of en-
ergy supplied to the appliance, causing
it to overheat.
If the power cord needs to be replaced,
this must be performed by a qualified
technician.
Connecting the appliance
Insert the plug into the back of the
appliance.
Make sure that the plug has clicked into
position correctly.

in which the water might stagnate.
This can affect the taste of water and
ice cubes.
– withstands the operating pressure.
– fulfills the hygiene regulations.
The water pressure must be between
29 and 116 psi (2 and 8bar).
A shut-off valve must be provided be-
tween the water line and the water sup-
ply of the building to ensure that the
water supply can be cut off if neces-
sary.
Make sure that the shut-off valve is
still accessible after the appliance
has been installed.
Risk of damage!
If the water intake is blocked while
the Ice Maker is still in use, the water
intake pipe can freeze up.
Turn the Ice Maker off if the water in-
take is interrupted (e.g., while on va-
cation).

The correct temperature
69
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C) is required. At this tempera-
ture the growth of bacteria is generally
halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above 14°F (-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 appliance will
rise:
– the more often the 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,
– and the higher the ambient tempera-
ture surrounding it. The appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.
Setting the temperature
Touch the symbol for setting the
temperature.
The previously set temperature will ap-
pear.
Set the temperature you want with
the and sensor controls. Keep-
ing your finger on the sensor control
changes the temperature continu-
ously.
Confirm the temperature setting with
OK or wait approx. 8seconds after
the last touch of the sensor. This tem-
perature will be automatically
adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approximately 6hours if the
appliance is not very full and for ap-
proximately 24hours if the appliance
is full before checking the temperature
display. It will take this long for an accu-
rate reading to be given.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
7°F (-14°C) to -11°F (-24°C).
The correct temperature
70
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can af-
fect the time it takes for the appli-
ance to reach the lowest tempera-
ture.
If the ambient temperature is too
high, the appliance may not reach
the lowest temperature.
Using SuperFrost
71
SuperFrost function
For best results, turn on the SuperFrost
function before putting fresh food into
the freezer.
Fresh food will be frozen quickly, so that
the nutritional value, vitamin content,
appearance, and taste are maintained.
Exceptions:
– Placing food in the freezer that is al-
ready frozen.
– When freezing up to 4.4 lb (2 kg)kg
fresh food daily.
Turning on SuperFrost
SuperFrost should be turned on 4–
6hours before placing food in the
freezer. When freezing the maximum
amount of food, the SuperFrost func-
tion should be switched on 24hours
beforehand.
Touch the symbol for setting the
temperature.
Then touch the symbol for turning
on the SuperFrost function.
The symbol is highlighted in color
and the newly set temperature value of
-22°F (-30°C) appears in the display.
Confirm the setting with OK or wait
approx. 8seconds after the last press
of the button. The setting will be au-
tomatically adopted.
Thesymbol is now illuminated in the
display.
The appliance will now run at maximum
power.
Turning off SuperFrost
Touch the symbol for setting the
temperature.
The symbol is highlighted in color
and the temperature value of -22°F
(-30°C) is shown in the display.
Touch the symbol for turning off
the SuperFrost function.
The symbol is no longer highlighted
in color and the previous temperature
setting appears again in the display.
Confirm the setting with OK or wait
approx. 8seconds after the last press
of the button. The setting will be au-
tomatically adopted.
The symbol disappears from the
temperature display.
The appliance will then continue run-
ning at normal power.
If you do not turn off the SuperFrost
function, it will turn itself off automati-
cally after approx. 54hours. The quan-
tity of fresh food placed in the freezer
will determine the duration before the
SuperFrost function turns off.
The appliance will then run at normal
power again.
Tip: To save energy, you can manually
switch off the SuperFrost function once
the freezer reaches a constant temper-
ature of 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Monitor
the temperature in the freezer.
Temperature and door alarm
72
The appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer cannot rise
unnoticed and to avoid energy being
wasted if the door is left open.
Temperature alarm
TheFreezer temperature too high. Max.
temperature °C message appears in the
display if the temperature in the Freezer
Zone becomes too warm.
An alarm will also sound.
The temperature display will show the
highest temperature that was reached
during the time the temperature rose.
The audio and visual signals are trig-
gered, for example:
– When the appliance is switched on
and the temperature in the appliance
differs greatly from the set tempera-
ture
– If a lot of warm room air enters the
freezer when food is being loaded,
rearranged, or taken out
– When freezing large amounts of food
at once
– When freezing fresh food which is still
warm
– After an extended power failure
The alarm will be silenced and the fault
message in the display will go out as
soon as the reason for the alarm has
been resolved.

Freezing and storing food
77
Always observe USDA food safety
guidelines.
Risk of fire from electrical appli-
ances.
Operating electrical devices in the
appliance can cause sparks to form.
Do not operate any electrical devices
inside the appliance.
Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be ex-
ceeded. The maximum freezing capac-
ity for freezing within a 24-hour period
is given on the data plate: “Freezing ca-
pacity ....lbs/24 hrs.”
What happens when you freeze
fresh food?
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible so that the nutritional value
of the food, its vitamin content, appear-
ance and flavor are maintained.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells,
which then shrink. During the defrosting
process, only some of this water is re-
absorbed by the cells. What this means
in practice is that the food loses more
moisture. You can see this in the large
amount of water that collects around
the food when it defrosts.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink less. As there is not so much
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to
reabsorb it during the defrosting
process, and very little water collects
around the defrosted food.
Storing frozen food
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, make sure to check:
– that the packaging is not damaged,
– the expiration date and
– the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the store.
The length of time food can be kept
is reduced if it has been stored at a
temperature warmer than 0°F (-18°C).
Buy frozen food at the very end of
your shopping trip.
Store it in the freezer compartment as
soon as possible.
Freezing and storing food
78
Home freezing
Only freeze food that is fresh and in
good condition.
Tips for home freezing
– The following types of food are suit-
able for home freezing:
fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, veg-
etables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy prod-
ucts, baked goods, leftovers, egg
yolks, egg whites, and a range of pre-
cooked meals.
– The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing:
lettuce, radishes, sour cream, may-
onnaise, whole eggs in their shells,
onions, whole raw apples and pears.
– To retain color, taste, aroma, and vi-
tamin C, vegetables should be
blanched before they are frozen. To
do so, place them portion by portion
into boiling water for 2–3minutes.
Then, remove and plunge the vegeta-
bles into ice-cold water to cool
quickly. Leave the vegetables to
drain.
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat and can be stored for consider-
ably longer.
– Separate chops, steaks, cutlets, etc.
with a sheet of plastic freezer film. to
prevent them from freezing together
in a block.
– Do not season raw food or blanched
vegetables with herbs or salt before
freezing. Cooked food should only be
lightly seasoned. The flavor of some
herbs intensifies when frozen.
– Placing hot food or drink in the
freezer causes food that is already
frozen to partially thaw and increases
energy consumption. Allow hot food
and drink to cool down before plac-
ing it in the freezer.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
–Suitable packaging
– Plastic films
– Freezer bags
– Aluminum foil
– Freezer containers
–Unsuitable packaging
– Packing paper
– Parchment paper
– Cellophane
– Garbage bags
– Plastic shopping bags
Remove as much air as possible from
the packaging before sealing.
Close the packaging tightly with
– rubber bands,
– bag clips,
– string or bag ties, or
– freezer tape.
Tip: Freezer bags and poly tubing may
also be sealed using home heat sealing
kits.
Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
Freezing and storing food
79
Before placing food in the
freezer
When freezing more than 4.4lb (2kg)
of fresh food, switch on the Super-
Frost function some time before plac-
ing the food in the freezer (see “Su-
perFrost”).
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the Freezer
Zone
Food to be frozen can be placed any-
where in the Freezer Zone. Preferably
freeze food in the top freezer basket, as
this is the best location for quick and
gentle freezing.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the basket so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
When placing items in the Freezer
Zone, ensure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
from freezing together or to the walls.
Slide the freezer baskets in as far as
they will go.
Please follow the guidelines in the ta-
ble below regarding recommended
weights for the baskets:

Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food, as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of 0°F
(-18°C). Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. Fat can become
rancid from contact with oxygen in the
air, for example. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide val-
ues for the storage life of different food
groups in the Freezer Zone.

Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Defrosting frozen goods
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
– In a microwave
– In an oven using “Convection” or the
“Defrost” setting
– At room temperature
– In the Fridge Zone (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold)
– In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat
or fish can be placed directly into a hot
skillet.
Meat and poultry (e.g.,hamburgers,
chicken, fish) should not come into con-
tact with other foods while defrosting.
Catch the defrosting liquid and dispose
of it carefully.
Fruit can be thawed at room tempera-
ture, either in the packaging or in a cov-
ered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot grease. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh vegeta-
bles due to changes in the cell struc-
ture.
Cooling drinks quickly
When chilling drinks in the freezer,
make sure that bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they
could burst.
Making ice cubes
81
For the automatic ice maker to oper-
ate, it must be connected to a water
supply (see “Water connection”).
CAUTION
The first three batches of ice cubes
made after the ice maker is started
up must not be consumed, as the
water will have been used for the ini-
tial rinse through the water supply
line.
This applies to the initial commis-
sioning as well as when using the
appliance again after it has been
turned off for a long while.
Switching on Ice Maker
Make sure that the ice cube tray is
correctly located underneath the Ice
Maker.
In settings mode , use the and
arrow buttons to select Ice Maker and
select OK to confirm your selection.
Use the and arrow buttons to
select On and touch OK to confirm
your selection.
Once the Freezer Zone has cooled
down to its set temperature, the Ice
Maker will fill with water.
As soon as the water is frozen, the ice
cubes drop out of the Ice Maker into
the ice cube tray.
Ice cube production is halted automati-
cally as soon as the ice cube tray is full.
The Ice Maker can make up to 2.9lb
(1.3kg) of ice cubes in 24hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
appliance depends on the temperature
in the freezer. The lower the temper-
ature, the more ice cubes are pro-
duced.
After the setting up the appliance for
the first time, it can take up to
10hours for the first ice cubes to drop
out of the Ice Maker and collect in the
tray.
Do not place any bottles or food into
the Ice Maker to chill them quickly.
The Ice Maker could become
blocked and, as a result, be dam-
aged.
Empty the ice cube tray at regular in-
tervals, or at least 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.
Ice cube production does not stop
when the ice cube tray has been re-
moved. Ice cubes can fall into the
freezer basket underneath.
Only remove the ice cube tray for
the shortest possible time or
switch off the Ice Maker before re-
moving it.
Making ice cubes
82
Switching off Ice Maker
The Ice Maker can be turned off inde-
pendently of the Freezer Zone if you
do not want to make any ice cubes.
Close the shut-off valve in the water
supply line (approx. 3hours before
switching off the appliance to avoid
the build-up of bacteria caused by
stagnant water).
In settings mode , use the and
arrow buttons to select Ice Maker and
select OK to confirm your selection.
Use the and arrow buttons to
select Off and touch OK to confirm
your selection.
Automatic defrosting
83
WARNING! DANGER of injury
and damage!
Do not use any mechanical or other
types of aids which are not recom-
mended by the manufacturer to ac-
celerate the defrosting process.
The appliance is equipped with a
“NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts
automatically.
The moisture generated in the appli-
ance collects on the condenser and is
automatically defrosted and evaporates
periodically.
This automatic defrosting system en-
ables the Freezer Zone to remain per-
manently ice-free. However, the food
stored in the freezer will not defrost.
Cleaning and care
84
WARNING! DANGER of electric
shock!
Unplug the appliance or trip the cir-
cuit breaker.
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not damage the coolant
pipework.
Do not let water get into the elec-
tronic unit or the lighting.
Do not use a steam cleaner. Steam
from a steam cleaning appliance
could reach the electrical compo-
nents and cause a short circuit.
The data plate located inside the ap-
pliance must not be removed. It con-
tains information which is required in
the event of a service call.

To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use
– cleaning products containing soda,
ammonia, acid, or chloride,
– lime scale removers,
– abrasive cleaning products, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones,
– cleaners containing solvents,
– stainless steel cleaners,
– dishwasher detergent,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
such as pot scrubbers,

The following pages contain impor-
tant information on cleaning.
Cleaning and care
85
Before cleaning the appliance
Turn the appliance off completely by
pressing the On/Off switch.
Unplug the appliance or switch off
the fuse.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning (see “Adjusting the interior
fittings”).
Interior and accessories
Clean the appliance regularly, or at
least once a month.
Clean up any spills, stains, or food
immediately. Do not allow them to
dry and stick to the appliance.
Clean the appliance with a solution of
lukewarm water and liquid dish soap.
Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash
in a dishwasher.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance sufficiently for a short while and
to prevent odor buildup.
Aluminum frames
The frames to the shelves inside the ap-
pliance and the door shelves are par-
tially made from aluminum.
Aluminum is a dynamic material. The re-
flection and appearance of aluminum
changes in different lights and environ-
ments and depending on the angle you
observe it from. It is also susceptible to
scratching.
The aluminum frames may become
discolored or damaged if soiling is left
on for too long. Remove any soiling
immediately.
Cleaning and care
86
Appliance front
The appliance front has a special high-
quality finish (Clean Touch Steel). This is
resistant to soiling and is very easy to
clean.
Do not use stainless steel
cleaning agent on these surfaces,
as it will damage the finish.
Do not use Miele stainless steel
conditioning agent on these sur-
faces, as it will cause noticeable
smearing.
If soiling is allowed to sit for any
length of time, it may become im-
possible to remove.
Surfaces may be discolored or al-
tered.
It is therefore best to remove soiling
from the appliance front immediately.
All surfaces are easily scratched.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor the sur-
faces.
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 liquid dish soap. A clean, damp
microfiber cloth without cleaning
agent can also be used for cleaning.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped thoroughly dry with a soft
cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation grilles
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The air vents should be cleaned on a
regular basis with a brush or vacuum
cleaner (you could use a Miele vac-
uum cleaner dusting brush, for exam-
ple).
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
Reconnect to the power supply and
switch the appliance back on.
Switch on the SuperFrost function
for a while so that the Freezer Zone
can cool down quickly.
Once the freezer has reached the re-
quired temperature, place the food
back in the freezer baskets.
Switch off the SuperFrost function
as soon as the temperature in the
Freezer Zone is a constant 0°F
(-18°C) or colder.

Frequently Asked Questions
89
Problem Possible cause and solution
The compressor is turn-
ing on more frequently
and for longer periods
of time; the temperature
in the appliance is too
low.
The temperature setting is too low.
Correct the temperature setting.
A large amount of food was put in for freezing at
once.
See the information in the section on “Freezing
and storing food”.
The SuperFrost function is still turned on.
To save energy, you can switch the SuperFrost
function off early yourself.
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The tempera-
ture in the appliance
rises.
This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too high.
Correct the temperature setting.
Check the temperature again after 24hours.
The food begins to thaw.
The room temperature is too low for this appliance.
If the room temperature is too low, the compressor
will run less frequently. This may cause the freezer to
become too warm.
See the “Installation location” section in the “In-
stallation information”.
Increase the room temperature.
The door to the Freezer
Zone will not open be-
cause it has been
opened and closed too
many times in succes-
sion.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening
and closing the door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait approx. 1minute and then try again. It
should now open without force.
The compressor runs
continuously.
Not a fault. To save energy, the compressor runs at a
lower speed when less cooling is required. This in-
creases the compressor run time.
The temperature display
shows 0°F (-18°C), al-
though a higher temper-
ature is set.
This is not a fault. When the ice maker is turned on
and the ambient room temperature is also low (<+
0°F (-18°C)) the temperature is automatically adjusted
to -0°F (-18°C). This guarantees that the ice maker
functions efficiently.

The appliance is uneven. Realign the appliance using a level, by
raising or lowering the adjustable feet underneath the appliance
or placing something underneath it.
The appliance is touching another machine or piece of furniture.
Move it away.
Drawers, baskets or shelves are jiggling or are stuck. Check all
removable parts and refit them correctly if required.
Bottles or containers are touching each other. Separate them a
little.
Water filter
98
The appliance is supplied with a water
filter (OdorFree charcoal filter) that filters
supply water for making ice cubes.
The OdorFree charcoal filter improves
the taste and smell of the ice cubes by
removing chlorine and other substances
from supply water.
To ensure the quality of the ice cubes
remains high, it is essential to
change the water filter regularly.
Please note:
– After inserting a new water filter, dis-
pose of all ice cubes produced in the
next 24hours following the change.
– If you have not used the appliance or
the ice maker much in the last few
weeks, or if the ice cubes smell un-
pleasant, install a new water filter.
– If an external water filter is fitted to
your household water supply, use a
Bypassfilter in place of an OdorFree
charcoal filter.
In this case, you can switch off the
Water Filter Display (see “Selecting
additional settings”, section “Switch-
ing off the Water Filter Display”).
New water filters (Bypass filters and
OdorFree charcoal filters) are available
from Miele Technical Service, from
your dealer, or via the internet.
The reminder to change the water filter
is issued approx. every 6months, de-
pending on the quantity of ice cubes
produced.
A reminder to change the water filter
appears in the display: Replace the water
filter.
An audible signal also sounds.
