IMPORTANT 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 conditioning unit contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant
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 wine conditioning unit.
When transporting and installing the wine conditioning unit, 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 wine conditioning unit from the electricity supply.
– Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes.
– Contact Miele Technical Service.
 The more coolant there is in a wine conditioning unit, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the
wine conditioning is in a small room, there is the danger of com-
bustible gases building up. For every 0.38oz (11g) of coolant at
least 35.3 cubic feet (1m3) of room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the wine conditioning unit is stated on the data plate in-
side the wine conditioning unit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
 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 grounded. It is essential that this stan-
dard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the elec-
trical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of the wine conditioning unit can only
be guaranteed if it is connected to the power supply.
 If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele au-
thorized technician in order to protect the user from harm.
 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.
 If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord,
it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the wine
conditioning in areas where there may be moisture or splashing wa-
ter (e.g., garages, laundry rooms).
 This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
 Before installation and use check the wine conditioning unit for
any visible damage. Do not operate or install a damaged appliance.
 To ensure safe operation, use the wine conditioning unit only
when it has been installed.
 The wine conditioning unit must be disconnected from the power
supply during installation, side-by-side heater installation, mainte-
nance and repair work. The appliance is only disconnected from the
power supply if:
– the circuit breaker has been tripped, or

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
– the circuit breaker has been tripped, or
– the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on
the cord when removing it from the outlet.
 Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
 Repairs and other work performed by unauthorized persons could
be dangerous and may void the warranty.
 Defective components should only be replaced by Miele original
parts. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
Proper 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 will cause the compressor to shut down
for longer periods of time so that the unit cannot maintain the re-
quired temperature.
 Do not cover or block the air vents. This can impair the efficiency
of the appliance, increase the power consumption and cause dam-
age to the appliance.
 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical appliances inside
the wine conditioning unit. Risk of sparking and explosion.
 Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate over 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Transport
 Always transport the wine conditioning unit in an upright position
and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
 Risk of injury and damage. The wine conditioning unit is very
heavy and must be transported by two people.
Disposing of your old appliance
 If your old wine conditioning unit or refrigerator has a door lock,
destroy it.
This will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking
themselves in and endangering their lives.
 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.

the packaging to your dealer.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
