 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping
cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or similar
substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Dir-
ective. Incorrect use of the refrigeration appliance for such purposes
may cause deterioration of the items stored. The refrigeration appli-
ance is also not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of ex-
plosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incor-
rect use or operation of the appliance.
 The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of

Technical safety
 The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory safety requirements and the ap-
propriate EU directives.
 This refrigeration appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable. The refrigerant does not damage the ozone layer and does
not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
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 refrigeration appliance.
When transporting and installing the refrigeration appliance, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of refri-
gerant can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
 The more refrigerant there is in a refrigeration appliance, 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 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 refrigeration
appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, 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 appliance. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion 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 supplied is damaged, it must
only be replaced by an original spare part to prevent a hazard for the
user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when ori-
ginal Miele spare parts are used.
 Do not connect the appliance 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 or into the mains con-
nection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not oper-
ate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to mois-
ture (e.g in a garage or utility room).

Warning and Safety instructions

 This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
 Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the appliance for visible signs of damage.
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 The appliance 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 appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.

Correct use
 This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperat-
ures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the
data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance. A
lower ambient temperature will cause the compressor to switch off
for longer periods, meaning that the refrigeration appliance is unable
to maintain 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 storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
refrigeration appliance 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 equipment (e.g.
an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appliance.
Danger of sparking and explosion.
 Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage instruc-
tions 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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 refrigeration appliance.
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 or defrost this ap-
pliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- separate frozen food or remove ice trays.
 Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-
frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
 Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
Transport
 Always transport the appliance in an upright position and in its ori-
ginal transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
 Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The refrigeration
appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Disposal of your old appliance
 Children playing could become trapped in the appliance and
could suffocate.
- Remove the appliance doors.
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so chil-
dren cannot climb inside.
- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking them-
selves in 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 refrigeration appli-
ance 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
- puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
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 penet-
rates the airways.

Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials 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
Electrical and electronic 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 human health and to the environment
if disposed of with household waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household 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 old appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion appliance’s pipework before or dur-
ing transportation to an authorised col-
lection depot.
This is to ensure that refrigerant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal. For further informa-
tion, see “Warning and safety instruc-
tions” in these operating instructions.

Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the refrigeration appli-
ance tipping over.
This refrigeration appliance is very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
appliance door is open.
Keep the appliance door(s) closed
until the refrigeration appliance has
been built in. The refrigeration appli-
ance must be secured in its building-
in niche in accordance with the oper-
ating and installation instructions.
Fire risk and risk of damage from
appliances which give off heat.
Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the refrigera-
tion appliance.
This refrigeration appliance must not
be installed underneath a hob.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames.
Open flames can set fire to the refri-
geration appliance.
Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the refrigeration appli-
ance.
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding on the installation site,
please bear in mind that your refrigera-
tion appliance will use more energy if
installed near to a heater, a cooker or
other appliance that gives off heat.
Avoid direct sunlight.
The higher the ambient temperature,
the longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption is.
When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, please note the following:
- The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
- The plug and mains connection cable
must not touch the rear of the refri-
geration appliance as they could be
damaged by vibrations from the ap-
pliance.
- Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind the refrigeration appliance.
- Do not position or operate multi-
socket adapters, distributor strips or
other electronic devices (such as
halogen transformers) at the rear of
the appliance.

Installation
*INSTALLATION*

Risk of damage due to high hu-
midity.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex-
ternal refrigeration appliance panels.
This condensate can cause corrosion
on external appliance panels.
Install the refrigeration appliance in a
dry and/or air-conditioned room with
sufficient ventilation.
After installation please make sure
that the appliance door(s) closes
(close) properly and the refrigeration
appliance is installed in accordance
with these installation instructions. It
is essential to comply with the spe-
cified ventilation cutout require-
ments.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to condens-
ation on external appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on ex-
ternal appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration
appliance models directly next to or
on top of one other.
Exception: your refrigeration appliance
can be installed next to another refriger-
ation appliance with an integrated heat-
ing unit if each appliance is built into a
separate niche. Please contact your
dealer for specific information about
which combinations will work with your
refrigeration appliance.
Climate range
This refrigeration appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient temper-
atures (climate range). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is not
designed. The climate range is stated
on the data plate in the interior cabinet
of the refrigeration appliance.
Climate range Ambient temper-
ature
SN +10to +32°C
N +16to +32°C
ST +16to +38°C
T +16to +43°C
A lower ambient temperature leads to
the compressor switching off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the refrigeration appli-
ance to rise with the risk of food deteri-
orating and going off.

Installation
*INSTALLATION*
18
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the com-
pressor will run more frequently and
for longer periods. This will result in
increased energy consumption and a
higher operating temperature for the
compressor. This may, in turn, cause
damage to the compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They must also be regularly dusted.
Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-
ance gets warm. The appliance housing
unit must therefore be constructed to
allow sufficient space for ventilation
(see “Installation dimensions” and the
installation instructions provided).
Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen fur-
niture, the thickness and edge radius of
the furniture door panel and the gap
that runs around the door, vertically and
horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following:
-Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door
panel and the housing unit door above
or below it must be at least 3mm.
-Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration
appliance furniture door panel and
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall on the hinged side is too small,
the appliance door could collide with
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the
size of this gap to suit the thickness
and edge radius of the appliance fur-
niture door.
This must be taken into consideration
when planning your kitchen and when
replacing an old refrigeration appliance
with a new one to ensure the installation
conditions required are met.
