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
9
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 The wine conditioning unit is designed for use within a certain cli-
mate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside
this range. The climate range for your wine conditioning unit 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 wine con-
ditioning unit switching off for longer periods so that it cannot main-
tain the required temperature.
 Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-
ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
 If the wine conditioning unit is used for storing food which con-
tains fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with
plastic components. Any spillages of oil or fat could cause stress
cracks to the plastic and cause it to break or split.
 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
wine conditioning unit or any products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
 Danger of explosion. Do not operate any electrical appliances in-
side the wine conditioning unit. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Accessories and spare parts
 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your wine unit.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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 this wine condi-
tioning unit.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the wine conditioning unit. Do not use
sharp edged or pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- remove labels, stickers etc.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Transporting the appliance
 Always transport the wine conditioning unit in an upright position
and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
 Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The wine condi-
tioning unit is very heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposing of your old appliance
 Children playing could become trapped in the wine unit and could
suffocate.
- Remove the appliance door.
- Leave the wooden shelves in the wine unit so children cannot
climb inside.
- If your old wine unit has a door lock, destroy it. This will prevent
the risk of children playing accidentally locking themselves in the
appliance and endangering their lives.
 Risk of electric shock!
- Cut the power plug off the mains connection cable.
- Cut the mains connection cable off the old appliance.
 Dispose of everything separately from the old appliance.
 During and after disposal, make sure that the wine unit is not
placed near petrol or other flammable gases and liquids.
 Risk of fire due to escaping oil or refrigerant!
The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In high
enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source.
During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged in
order to prevent refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled man-
ner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
 Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

Warning and Safety instructions

- puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.

Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the wine conditioning unit from damage
during transportation. The packaging
materials used are selected from mater-
ials which are environmentally friendly
for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electronic and electrical 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 general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele. By law, you are solely re-
sponsible for deleting any personal data
from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your wine
conditioning unit's pipework before or
during transportation to an authorised
collection 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.
Please ensure that your old appliance
poses no risk to children while being
stored prior to disposal. For further in-
formation, see “Warning and safety in-
structions” in these operating and in-
stallation instructions.

Using the door-opening mech-
anism correctly
The Push2open system on your wine
unit makes it easy to open the appli-
ance door. The appliance door on your
wine unit is sensitive to pressure.
The Push2open system is deactivated
at the factory. The function has to be
activated by touching the On/Off
sensor once the appliance has been
installed in the niche (see “Switching
the wine unit on and off”).
Opening the appliance door
Risk of damage!
To avoid damage to the door open-
ing mechanism:
Do not obstruct the appliance door
while it is opening.
Do not push in or hold onto the door
catch while the door is closing.
Press gently against the appliance
door and then release it. The appli-
ance door will then open a little way
automatically.
Then pull the appliance door fully
open.
To protect against inadvertent open-
ing: if you do not open the door wider,
it will close again by itself after approx.
3seconds.
Closing the appliance door
Push the appliance door shut.
Please be aware that using magnets in
front of the wine unit door can cause it
to open by mistake. This is caused by
the door-closing mechanism on the
wine unit.
