ing fresh food and for making 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 other simi-
lar substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Di-
rective. Incorrect use of the refrigeration appliance for such purposes
may cause deterioration of the items stored. The refrigeration appli-
ance is also not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of ex-
plosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
 This refrigeration appliance may only be used by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised while using
it.
The refrigeration appliance may only be used by these people with-
out supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way
and recognize and understand the consequences of incorrect opera-
tion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
 Ensure that any packing material is disposed of safely and kept
out of the reach of children. DANGER of suffocation!
Technical safety
 The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory and regulatory requirements.
 The symbol is located on the compressor and indicates the dan-
ger of inflammable materials. Do not remove the label.
WARNING! This refrigeration appliance contains the coolant Isobu-
tane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly, but
flammable. Although it is combustible, it 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 compres-
sor, 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.
WARNING! When transporting and installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact Miele Customer Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
 The more coolant 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 11g of coolant, at least 1m3 of
room space is required. The amount of coolant 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 the appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with national and local codes.
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
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
 If the power cord supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced
by an original part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are
used.
 Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the machine
in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g.,
garages, laundry rooms).
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile in-
stallations (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 machine must be disconnected from the power supply during
installation, maintenance, and repair work, and installation work on
the fresh water connection. The machine is only completely isolated
from the power supply when:
- the fuses have been switched off, or
- the circuit breaker has been removed completely, or
- the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on
the power cord when disconnecting it from the power supply.
 Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs, or a faulty
fresh water connection can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance, and repairs, installation work on the fresh
water connection, and all repairs on the ice/water outlet must only
ever be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
 The ice cube maker must only be connected to a cold water line.
 Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty con-
nection to the fresh water supply.
 Any manufacturer's warranty may be void if the appliance is not
repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele re-
placement 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 bulb to cope
with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical re-
sistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. The bulb is not suitable
for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be installed by an au-
thorized technician or by Miele Customer Service.

stallation instructions.
 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 tempera-
tures 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.
 WARNING! DANGER of overheating! Do not cover or block the air
vents. This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the
power consumption and cause damage to the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
 If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance,
make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic compo-
nents as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store any explosive materials or
products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the
appliance. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
 WARNING! Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equip-
ment (e.g., an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appli-
ance. Risk of sparking and explosion.
 Risk of injury and damage. Do not store cans or bottles containing
carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer sec-
tion. Otherwise they could burst.
 Risk of injury and damage. When chilling drinks in the freezer sec-
tion, make sure that bottles are not left in for more than one hour.
Otherwise they could burst.
 Risk 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.
 Risk of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and
never place ice cubes or ice pops in your mouth straight from the
freezer section. 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 de-
frosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be refrozen af-
ter it has been cooked.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
 When eating stored food, there is a danger 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. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage in-
structions.
Accessories and parts
 Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a mini-
mum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance
 Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.
 WARNING! DANGER of injury and damage!
Do not use any mechanical or other types of aids which are not rec-
ommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting
process.
 Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
The steam can reach the 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 or ice,
- separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
 Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
 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.
Transport
 To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and
in its packaging.
 Risk of injury and damage. The refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
 DANGER. Risk of child entrapment!
Children could become trapped in the machine and could suffocate.
- Remove the machine doors.
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the machine so children cannot
easily climb inside.
 DANGER of electric shock!
- Cut the plug off the power cord.
- Cut the power cord off the old appliance.
 Dispose of them separately from the appliance.
 Ensure that the appliance is not stored in the vicinity of gasoline or
inflammable gases and liquids during and after disposal.
 WARNING! Make sure that the coolant pipework is not damaged
during disposal to avoid uncontrolled leakage of oil and coolant (see
data plate for coolant type).
 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
 Splashes of coolant can cause damage to the eyes. Be careful not
to damage any part of the pipework while awaiting disposal, e.g. by
- puncturing the coolant channels in the evaporator,
- kinking any pipework,
- scratching the surface coating.
Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)
This information is only relevant for recycling. There is no risk during normal oper-
ation.
 The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it pene-
trates the airways.
Symbol on the rear of the appliance (depending on model)
This label or a similar one is only relevant for recycling. Do not remove the lable.
 This information refers to the foamed-in panels in the door and/or
the housing.

Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of packaging material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Return
the packaging to your dealer.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds, and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with household trash or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household trash.
Follow the local regulations or the dis-
posal of appliances. Instead, please
make use of officially designated collec-
tion and disposal points to dispose of
and recycle electrical and electronic ap-
pliances. By law, you are solely respon-
sible for deleting any personal data
from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion appliance’s pipework before or dur-
ing transportation to an authorized col-
lection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.

Installation

Installation location
WARNING! Risk of damage and
injury due to the refrigeration appli-
ance tipping over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forward when the
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 hazard and risk of damage
from appliances that give off heat.
Appliances that give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-
tion appliance.
This refrigeration appliance must not
be installed underneath a cooktop.
Fire hazard and risk of damage
from open flames.
Open flames can set fire to the refrig-
eration appliance.
Keep open flames (such as a candle)
away from the refrigeration appli-
ance.
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your re-
frigeration appliance, please bear in
mind that it will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a range, 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 appliance, please
note:
- IMPORTANT! The power plug must
be easily accessible so that the appli-
ance can be disconnected from the
mains quickly in an emergency. It
must not be behind the back of the
appliance.
- The plug and power cord must not
touch the back of the appliance as
they could be damaged by vibrations
from the appliance.
- Do not plug other appliances into
electrical outlets behind this appli-
ance.

Installation

Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on exter-
nal 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.
The specified ventilation specifica-
tions must be observed.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to conden-
sation on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on exter-
nal appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration
appliances 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 class
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 class Ambient temper-
ature
SN 50 to 90°F/
+10 to +32°C
N 60 to 90°F/
+16 to +32°C
ST 60 to 100°F/
+16to +38°C
T 60 to 109°F/
+16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*
18
Ventilation
WARNING! Fire hazard and risk
of damage due to insufficient ventila-
tion.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the compres-
sor will run more frequently and for
longer periods. This causes in-
creased energy consumption and an
increased compressor operating
temperature, which can result in
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 never be
obstructed.
They must also be cleaned on a reg-
ular basis to remove dust.
There must be a gap of at least
½inch (13mm) between the back of
the appliance and the rear wall. If this
gap is not maintained, this will result
in increased energy consumption.
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).
- To ensure ventilation an air channel of
a minimum 1 1/2" (40mm) depth
must be provided at the back of the
appliance.
- The ventilation slits in the toe-kick, in
the cabinet and under the top of the
cabinet must provide a total
passage volume of at least 31"²
(200cm2) to allow the warm air to
dissipate unimpeded.
- If you wish to fit a grille in the ventila-
tion openings, the ventilation open-
ings must be larger than 31"²
(200cm2). The passage volume of
31"² (200cm2) is the total area of the
opening slits in the grille.
- Important! The larger the ventilation
slits, the more economically the ap-
pliance will work.
Lower ventilation slit
The appliance can be ventilated via the
cabinet plinth with the ventilation grille
supplied or with a minimum ventilation
opening of 31 in2 cross-section area.
When using the grille supplied, please
proceed as follows:
Cut an opening in plinth as shown
in the diagram.
Place ventilation grille in the open-
ing.
Push snap fasteners into the venti-
lation grille from behind until the
hooks touch the plinth.
Reinstall the plinth with the ventilation
grille.

Cabinet doors
An upper cabinet door for the refrigera-
tor section and a lower cabinet door for
the freezer section are required.
The cabinet doors must be at least
5/8“ (16mm) / 3/4” (19mm) thick.
–Weight of the door panel
If the door panel is too heavy
damage can occur.
Installing a door panel which is heav-
ier than the maximum permitted
weight could damage the hinges.
This can cause subsequent func-
tional problems.
Before installing the door panel, en-
sure that the weight of the door
panel does not exceed the maximum
permitted weight.
The maximum permissible weights of
the door panels in lb (kg) are:
Appliance Upper

Lower
door
panel
KFN(S) 7795 D 39.7 (18) 26.5 (12)
Calculation of cabinet door size
The width of the cabinet door de-
pends on the style of the kitchen and
the gap between the unit door panels.
When calculating the height of the
cabinet door, remember that the top
edge of the door must be at the same
height as that of the doors of the adja-
cent units.
The cabinet door must be fitted cor-
rectly and not under tension.
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen cabi-
netry, the thickness and edge radius of
the custom door panel and the gap that
runs around the door, vertically and hor-
izontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following:
-Horizontal gap
The gap between the door panel and
the housing-unit door above or below it
must be at least 1/8" (3mm).
-Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration-
appliance door panel and the adjoin-
ing housing-unit door or wall on the
hinged side is too small, the appli-
ance door could collide with the ad-
joining 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 door panel.
