Warning and Safety instructions
7
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 com-
pressor, 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 naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine conditioning unit from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
 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 ap-
pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1m3 of room space is
required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the wine conditioning unit.

Warning and 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 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.
 Reliable and safe operation of the wine conditioning unit can only
be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 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
9
 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.
 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 conditioning unit is supplied with a special lamp to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical res-
istance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suit-
able for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a
Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service De-
partment. This wine conditioning unit contains several light sources
with at least energy efficiency classE.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
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 genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil-
ity.
 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
11
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.
Transport
 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
 If your old wine unit or refrigeration appliance 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 damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age 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.

Caring for the environment
12
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.
