Fire risk and danger of damage
from appliances which give off heat.
Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the
refrigeration appliance.
Do not place appliances which give
off heat, such as mini-ovens, double
burner hobs or toasters on the
refrigeration appliance.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames!
Open flames can set fire to the
refrigeration appliance.
Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the refrigeration
appliance.
Side-by-side installation
Risk of damage due to
condensation on the external
appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on
external appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration
appliance models directly next to
one another.
If the model number for your
refrigeration appliance does have the
letter S in it, it can be installed side-by-
side. Your refrigeration appliance is
equipped with built-in heating units in
the side panels.
Please contact Miele for information on
which combinations are suitable for
your appliance.
Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your
appliance please bear in mind that it will
use more energy if installed near a
heater, cooktop or other appliance that
gives off heat. Direct sunlight should
also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor will run and the
higher the energy consumption will be.
When installing the appliance, please
note:
- The mains socket must not be
located directly behind the appliance
and must be easily accessible.
- The plug and cable must not touch
the rear of the appliance as they
could be damaged by vibrations from
the appliance.
- Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind this appliance.

Risk of damage due to
condensation on the external
appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on
external appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
To prevent this, it is advisable to
install the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or air
conditioned room.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance door closes properly, that
the specified ventilation gaps are
adhered to, and that the appliance
has been installed in accordance
with these installation instructions.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use within
a certain climate range (ambient
temperatures) and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data plate
inside the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10 to +32°C
N +16 to +32°C
ST +16 to +38°C
T +16 to +43°C
Operating in a room which is too cold
will result in the compressor switching
off for too long, causing the internal
temperature in the appliance to rise with
the risk of food deteriorating and going
off.
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation!
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will
result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature of the compressor. This,
in turn, can result in 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.
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm.

The wall spacers supplied must be
used in order to achieve the stated
energy consumption values and to
prevent the build-up of condensation
at high ambient temperatures.
Appliance depth is increased by
approx. 15mm with the wall spacers
fitted. If the wall spacers are not used,
the functionality of the appliance is not
affected. However, energy
consumption is slightly increased with
less distance between the appliance
and the wall.
Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the refrigeration appliance on the
bottom left and right.
Limiting the opening angle of the
door
The door hinges are set at the factory to
enable the door to be opened up to

Electrical connection
The appliance must only be connected
using the connection cable supplied
(AC220–240V,50Hz supply).
Appliance plug connector
Mains plug
The fuse rating must be at least 10A.
This appliance must be connected to a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
installation must be in compliance with
current local and national safety
regulations.

11210790-04
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
The socket must not be concealed
behind the appliance and must be
easily accessible so that the appliance
can be quickly disconnected from the
electricity supply in case of an
emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible
after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole
contact gap of at least 3mm. These
include isolator switches, fuses and
relays.
The mains plug and mains connection
cable must not come into contact with
the back of the refrigeration appliance
as vibrations can cause damage to
these components. This could result in
a short circuit.
Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind this appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply using an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the refrigeration
appliance to a stand-alone inverter such
as those used with an autonomous
energy source, e.g. solar power.
When the refrigeration appliance is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. This could
damage the electronics. The
refrigeration appliance must not be
used with so-called energy-saving
devices either. These reduce the
amount of energy supplied to the
appliance, causing it to overheat.
