Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been 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 babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during
transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained, and will not leak out into the
environment.

This appliance complies with all statutory safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these
instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
~This appliance is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
It is not intended for outdoor use.
~It must only be used as a domestic appliance to store wine as
well as to store deep frozen food, freeze fresh food, and to make
ice.

dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~This appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool
medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such
materials or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such
purposes can cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance
is 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.
~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.
Safety with children
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their
head and suffocate.
Technical safety
~The coolant system is tested for leaks. This appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU
guidelines.
~This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase 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 system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse
effect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking
refrigerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark,
–disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,
–ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
–contact the Miele Service Department.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~The more coolant there is in an 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 combustible gases building up.
For every8gofcoolant at least 1 m3of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the 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.
~If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
~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.
~Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utility
room). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical
connection and cause a short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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.
~The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work, and
installation work on the mains water connection.
~Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs as well as a
faulty mains water connection can cause considerable danger to
users.
Installation, maintenance work and repair work, including installation
work on the mains water connection and repairs to the ice/water
dispenser, must only be carried out by a Miele authorised service
technician.
~The ice cube maker is not suitable for connection to a hot water
supply.
~While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.

original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must
only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty
connection to the mains water supply.
Correct use
~The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range
(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.
The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate
inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a
garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so
that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
~Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
~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
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
~Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components
could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and
explosion.
~Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice
cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and
explosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or
liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could
explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
~When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are
not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst,
causing injury and damage.
~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 frost burn.
~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.The
very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn
to the lips and tongue.
~Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume
defrosted 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.
~Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage
instructions 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.
~Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.
Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

Stainless steel appliances
~Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door. These will
damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt repellent protective
coating.
~The high-quality surface of the door is susceptible to scratching.
Even fridge magnets can cause scratching.
Cleaning and care
~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
appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
~Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to
the appliance.
~Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to
defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

Transporting the appliance
~Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its
original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
~Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very heavy and
must be transported by two people.
Disposal of your old appliance
~Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking
themselves in and endangering their lives.
~Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting
disposal, e.g. by
– puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
– bending any pipework, or
– scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes.
