Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.
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
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during
transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained, and will not leak out into the
environment.

This appliance complies with all relevant safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance,
please read these instructions carefully before installation and
before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Miele
cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with
these Warning and Safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
~The appliance is not designed for commercial use. It is intended
for use in domestic households and similar working and residential
environments.
This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.
~The appliance must only be used as a domestic appliance to
cool and store food as well as to store deep frozen food, freeze
fresh food and to prepare ice.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions

~The appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool
medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such
materials or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such
purposes can cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance
is not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
~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 understand the hazards
involved.
Safety with children
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
~Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
~This appliance is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play with it or use the controls. Please supervise
children whilst you are using the appliance.

Technical safety
~Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance.
It could be dangerous.
~If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a service
technician authorised by the manufacturer to protect the user from
danger.
~This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase 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 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 the transportation and installation 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 flames 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.
