In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow all information provided
concerning the installation of the refrigeration appliance, as well as
safety notes and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.

shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.
 This appliance is intended for cooling and storing food and drinks
as well as for storing deep-frozen food, freezing fresh food and for
making ice.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions
6
 This appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool
medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar
substances or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such
purposes may cause deterioration of the items stored.
The appliance is also not suitable for use in areas where there is a
risk of explosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation of the appliance.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision and instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
They may only use the appliance unsupervised if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely and
are able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused
by incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The
refrigeration appliance complies with all current local and national
safety requirements.
 Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.
The refrigerant inside the appliance (details on the data plate) is
environmentally 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 system. Unfortunately, these effects cannot be avoided,
but they do not 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
refrigerant can damage the eyes and leaking refrigerant can ignite.
In the event of any damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room in which the appliance is located for several
minutes.
- Call Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 The more refrigerant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room should be in which it is installed. 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 with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
 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.
 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 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 laundry).
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (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 when it has
been fully installed.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable), or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances
must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele spare parts are used.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 This refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special lamp to
cope with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture,
chemical resistance, 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
replaced by a Miele authorised technician. This refrigeration
appliance contains several light sources with at least energy
efficiency classF.
 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.
Correct installation
 When installing the refrigeration appliance, it is a mandatory
requirement 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.
