Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
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
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
Make sure that the pipework is not
damaged whilst moving an old
appliance. This is to ensure that the
refrigerant and oil in the compressor
cannot leak into the environment. It is
important that they are disposed of in a
safe manner by authorised persons
only.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and safety instructions.
Caring for the environment
5

This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both
personal injury and material
damage.
Before installation and before using
for the first time, read the operating
instructions carefully. They contain
important notes on safety, the
operation and care of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the
appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only for the cool
storage of food and drink.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
improper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas
which is very environmentally friendly.
Although it is flammable, it does not
damage the ozone layer and does not
increase the greenhouse effect. The
use of this environmentally friendly
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, but does not have
any adverse effect on the performance
of the appliance.
Care must be taken during
transportation and setting up of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling
system are damaged. Leaking coolant
can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid open fires
and anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect from the mains,
– air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
– contact the Service Department
for advice.
The more refrigerant 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 every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the rating on the data plate
corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid risk of damage to the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Warning and safety instructions
6

The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is regularly tested, and
where there is any doubt the household
wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed
and connected in accordance with
these operating and installation
instructions.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out
by suitably qualified and competent
persons.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–the plug has been withdrawn.
Do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug.
–the mains fuse is withdrawn.
–or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Use
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on
thermostats and the interior light may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed and stored upright.
Danger of explosion.
Observe the "use by“ dates 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. Follow
the instructions given on food
manufacturer’s packaging on storage
conditions required as well as the "use
by“ date.
Warning and safety instructions
7

Do not use sharp edged
objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice
trays.
They will damage the evaporator and
the appliance will not be able to be
used again (total damage).
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 damage the plastic
parts and which may cause the build
up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals. These cause the seals
to become porous in the course of time.
Do not block the ventilation grilles
in the appliance as this would
impair the efficiency of the appliance,
increase the electricity consumption
and could cause damage to the
appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges
(ambient temperatures). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not
designed. 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 will lead to the appliance
switching off for longer periods so that
it cannot maintain the required
temperature.
Never use steam cleaning
apparatus to defrost or clean the
appliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of old appliances
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.
Before disposing of an old
appliance, unplug it and render the
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance and at the plug to
prevent misuse.
Be careful not to damage any part
of the pipework whilst awaiting
disposal, e.g. by
–puncturing the refrigerant channels
in the evaporator.
–bending any pipework.
–scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and safety instructions.
Warning and safety instructions
8

Before using for the first time
The stainless steel surface has a
protective cover to prevent scratching
during transportation.
^Do not remove this cover until the
appliance has been installed or built
in. Start at one of the upper corners.
^Clean the inside of the appliance and
the accessories with warm water and
a little washing up liquid, and then
dry with a soft cloth.
Important:
To ensure correct functioning of the
appliance, let it stand for between ½
and 1 hour after transporting it to its
final location before connecting it to
the mains. This is important for the
correct functioning of the appliance.
Switching on
^Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a
clockwise direction away from the "0"
position.
Turn it only as far as it will go, then
turn it back again. Turning it beyond
its range will damage it.
The appliance starts cooling, and the
interior light will come on when the door
is opened.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
Switching off
^Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in
an anti-clockwise direction back to
the "0" position.
The cooling system and the interior light
are now switched off.
Switching off for longer
periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday,
^switch the appliance off at the mains,
^take out the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
^clean the appliance out and
^leave the door ajar to air the
appliance.
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned out and the door is left shut,
mould and odours are likely to build
up inside the appliance.
Operation
9

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
–the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
–if too much food is stored in it at
once,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.
. . . in the refrigerator
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C
in middle of the refrigerator section.
If you wish to check the temperature in
the refrigerator,
^Place a thermometer in a glass of wa-
ter and then place the glass in the
middle of the refrigerator section.
After about 24 hours, the thermometer
will show the approximate temperature
in the refrigerator.
Please note the following
–bathwater and other household
thermometers are not very accurate.
It is best to use an electronic
thermometer.
–do not measure the temperature of
the air in the appliance. The result
will not reflect the temperature in the
food.
–try to open the door as little as
possible during the measuring
period, as warm room air will enter
the refrigerator every time the door is
opened.
Temperature selection
The temperature is set with the
temperature dial.
^Use a coin to turn the temperature
dial clockwise to the required setting.
Forcing it beyond its range will
damage it. Turn it only as far as it will
go, then turn it back again.
The higher the setting, the lower the
temperature in the appliance.
The correct temperature
10

In normal use a setting between 2 and
3is generally sufficient. You should also
check the temperature inside the
appliance from time to time.
It is advisable to select setting 4if the
door is opened frequently, large
quantities of food are stored in a
refrigerator or there is a high ambient
temperature.
The correct temperature
11

Dynamic cooling m
With dynamic cooling the temperature
inside the appliance is distributed to all
areas more evenly. All food stored in
the refrigerator section will be chilled to
about the same degree. The
temperature is controlled as normal
with the temperature dial.
Dynamic cooling should be selected
when:
–the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 30 °C), and
–the room humidity level is high.
Switching on dynamic cooling
^Press the dynamic cooling button m.
The dynamic cooling indicator light
will come on.
Make sure the vents in the appliance
are open to ensure unhindered air
circulation.
Switching off dynamic cooling
When dynamic cooling is switched on
the appliance uses more energy. It
should therefore be switched off when
the room temperature is normal (below
30 °C) and when humidity levels are
normal.
^Press the dynamic cooling button m.
The dynamic cooling indicator light
will go out.
Dynamic cooling
12

Different storage zones
Natural air circulation gives rise to
different temperature zones inside the
refrigerator section. Cold, heavy air
sinks to the lowest section of the
appliance. Make use of the different
zones when placing food in the
appliance.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone in the refrigerator
section is directly above the vegetable
containers.
Use this for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
–soft cheese and other dairy
products,
–pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a minimum
temperature of 4 °C.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is in the top section
of the refrigerator door. Use this for
storing butter and cheese.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing combustible gas (e.g.
spray cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door.
Traces of oil can cause stress
cracks to occur in the plastic
components in the door.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance. Otherwise it may
freeze to the back wall.
Food which should not be
stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
These include:
–Fruit and vegetables which are
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,
avocado pears, papaya, passion
fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes
and cucumbers
–Fruit which is not yet ripe
–Potatoes
–Some hard cheeses
Using the refrigerator section efficiently
13

Storing food correctly
Store food covered or packaged. This
will prevent food smells or tastes from
affecting other foods and prevent food
from drying out. The growth of bacteria,
such as salmonella, can be avoided by
setting the correct temperature and
maintaining good standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the vegetable containers.
However, you should bear in mind that
some types of vegetables give off a
natural gas which speeds up the rate at
which food perishes. Some fruit and
vegetables react stongly to this gas
and should not be stored together in
the vegetable containers.
xamples of fruit which produce a
large amount of this natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocado pears and
figs.
xamples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pears, nectarines and peaches.
nergy saving tips
–Frequently opening the door or
keeping it open for too long will
cause the temperature in the
appliance to rise. The appliance will
have to run more often in order to
maintain the cool temperature inside
the appliance. Only open the door
when you need to and then only for
as long as necessary.
–If you organise where you store your
food correctly you should be able to
find things quickly and easily without
allowing the temperature in the
appliance to rise. Sort the food out
carefully before putting it into the
appliance.
– Hot food and drinks must be cooled
to room temperature before placing
them in the appliance.
– Do not store groceries too close to
each other. Space should be left
between individual items for air to
circulate.
Using the refrigerator section efficiently
14

Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
^Pull the shelves forward as far as
they will go then lift them upwards to
remove them.
^With the rear barrier facing upwards
place the shelf at the required
position.
The rear barrier must face upwards to
prevent food from touching the back
of the appliance and freezing to it.
Split shelf
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be
pushed under the rear section.
^Pull the front half of the glass shelf
forwards slightly and then push it
carefully under the rear half.
Adjusting the door shelves
^Push the door shelf upwards then
remove it by pulling it forwards.
^Replace the door shelf at the
required position. Ensure that it is
securely pushed back into position.
Moving the bottle divider
The bottle divider can be moved to the
left or right to ensure that bottles are
held securely in position when the door
is opened and shut.
Adjusting the interior fittings
15

Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the appliance whilst it
is in use. These are automatically
removed and defrosted by the
appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are never blocked so
that condensate can flow away
without hindrance.
Defrosting
16

Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids or
chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive“ cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
For stainless steel surfaces, use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaning
agent.
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the light.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.
Before cleaning
^Switch the appliance off by turning
the temperature selector to "0" and
then removing the plug.
^Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
^Clean the appliance at least once a
month using warm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
^Accessories and shelves should all
be hand-washed. The butter dish is,
however, dishwasher safe.
^Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent.
^After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
the interior and accessories with a
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
-Cloth
^A microfibre "E-Cloth“ is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department, Part Number 980 13530,
which is suitable for cleaning
surfaces such as stainless steel,
glass, plastic and chrome without the
use of chemicals.
If you are unsure about a particular
product or need further advice
please contact your nearest Miele
Sales office. See back page for
address.
Cleaning and care
17

Ventilation grilles
^The ventilation grilles should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the appliance's energy
consumption.
Door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal. These will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
^Insert the plug in the socket and
switch the appliance back on.
^Place food back in the appliance and
close the door.
