5
This wine conditioning unit complies with all current local and na-
tional safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to
personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the wine conditioning unit. They contain important informa-
tion on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This is to protect
yourself from injury, and from damaging your wine conditioning
unit.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the wine conditioning unit as well as the
safety instructions 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.
Danger of injury from broken glass.
If installed at altitudes above 1500m there is a risk of the glass in
the door breaking because of changes in air pressure.
Shards of glass can cause severe injury.

Correct application
 This wine conditioning unit 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 wine conditioning unit is not intended for outdoor use.
 The wine conditioning unit is intended for domestic use only for
storing wine.
It must not be used for any other purpose.
 The wine conditioning unit is not suitable for storing and keeping
cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such
materials or products. Incorrect use of the wine conditioning unit for

conditioning unit is not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk
of explosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or in-
correct use of the appliance.
 This wine conditioning unit 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 whilst using
it.
The wine conditioning unit may only be used by these people
without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe
way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect
operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
 Children under 8years of age must be kept away from the wine
conditioning unit unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the wine conditioning unit
without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe

tioning unit unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the wine conditioning
unit and do not let them play with it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The wine con-
ditioning unit complies with statutory safety requirements and the
appropriate EU directives.
 This wine unit contains the refrigerant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
gas which is environmentally friendly. The refrigerant does not dam-
age the ozone layer and does not contribute to the greenhouse ef-
fect.
The use of this refrigerant has, however, led to a slight increase in
the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the com-
pressor, you might be able to hear the refrigerant flowing around the
cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not
affect the performance of the wine unit.
When transporting and installing the wine unit, ensure that no parts
of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refrigerant can dam-
age the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine unit from the mains electricity supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine unit is located for several
minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
 The more refrigerant there is in a wine unit, 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 wine unit is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

 To avoid the risk of damage to the wine conditioning unit, 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 wine conditioning
unit. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 The electrical safety of the wine conditioning unit 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 sup-
ply 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 sys-
tem 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 is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
 Do not connect the wine conditioning unit 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, it could cause a short
circuit. Therefore, do not operate this wine conditioning unit in areas
which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or utility room).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
 Do not use a damaged wine conditioning unit. It could be danger-
ous. Check the wine conditioning unit for visible signs of damage.
 For safety reasons, this wine conditioning unit may only be used
after it has been built in.
 The wine conditioning unit must be isolated from the electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
 While the wine conditioning unit is under warranty, repairs should
only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Other-
wise the warranty is invalidated.
 Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 This wine unit is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particu-
lar conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abra-
sion 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 fitted by a Miele authorised
technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department. This wine
unit contains several light sources with at least energy efficiency
classE.
