Warning and Safety instructions
5
This refrigeration appliance complies with current safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal
injury and material damage.
Please read the operating and installation instructions carefully
before using the refrigeration appliance for the first time. They
contain important information on safety, installation, use and
maintenance. This is to protect yourself from injury, and from
damaging your refrigeration appliance.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow all information provided
on installing the refrigeration appliance, as well as the safety notes
and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating and installation instructions in a safe place
and pass them on to any future owner.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application
 This refrigeration appliance is intended for use in the home and in
similar environments, for example
– in shops, offices and similar work settings
– by the guests in hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts and other typical
home settings.
This refrigeration appliance is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must only be used as a domestic appliance to store deep frozen
food, freeze fresh food and to make ice.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping
cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar
substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device
Directive. Incorrect use of the refrigeration appliance for such
purposes may cause deterioration of the items stored. The
refrigeration appliance is also not suitable for use in areas where
there is a risk of explosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or
incorrect use or operation of the appliance.
 The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
refrigeration appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way
and recognise 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
entangled in packaging (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their
head and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the
appropriate EU directives.
 Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.
This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a),
a natural gas which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. The
coolant does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to
the greenhouse effect.
The use of this coolant has, however, led 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 coolant 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 coolant
can damage the eyes.
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 your Miele dealer.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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
appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of a combustible
gas/air mixture building up. For every 8g of refrigerant at least 1m3
of 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.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply 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 standard.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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
connection 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.
 This refrigeration appliance is not intended for use as a built-in
appliance.
 The appliance must be isolated from the electricity supply during
installation, maintenance and repair work.
 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the warranty
is invalidated.
 Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
