fore using the refrigeration appliance for the first time. They con-
tain important information on safety, installation, use, and mainte-
nance. This is to protect yourself from injury, and from damaging
your refrigeration appliance.
Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the
instructions in the chapter on installing the refrigeration appliance
as well as in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.

–catering and similar non-retail applications.
This appliance is not intended for use outdoors, in damp environ-
ments or in places exposed to rain.
 This refrigeration appliance is intended for domestic use only for
the cool storage of food and drink.
Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
 This refrigeration appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping
cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations, or other simi-
lar substances or products that are subject to the Medical Device Di-
rective. 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 resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
 This refrigeration appliance may only be used by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised while using
it.
The refrigeration appliance may only be used by these people with-
out supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way
and recognize and understand the consequences of incorrect opera-
tion.
Safety with children
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the appliance.
 Children may only use the appliance even without supervision if
they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner, and if they are
able to recognize and understand the potential risks of improper use.
 Children must not clean or service the appliance unless they are
under supervision.
 To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or
near the appliance.
 Ensure that any packing material is disposed of safely and kept
out of the reach of children. DANGER of suffocation!

Technical safety
 The coolant circuit has been checked for leaks. The refrigeration
appliance complies with statutory and regulatory requirements.
 The symbol is located on the compressor and indicates the dan-
ger of inflammable materials. Do not remove the label.
WARNING! The refrigerant inside the appliance (details on the data
plate) is environmentally friendly but flammable.
The use of this refrigerant does, however, sometimes lead 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 refrigerant flowing
around the cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but
it does not affect the performance of the refrigeration appliance.
WARNING! When transporting and installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, ensure that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes and leaking refrigerant
can ignite.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid open flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply.
- Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for
several minutes.
- Contact Miele Customer Service.
 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 3'3"
(1m)3 of room space is required. The amount of refrigerant in the re-
frigeration appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

IMPORTANT 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 the appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. 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 synchronized with
the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with national and local codes.
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
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
 If the power cord supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced
by an original part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are
used.
 Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
 If moisture gets into electrical components or into the power cord,
it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate the machine
in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g.,
garages, laundry rooms).
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile in-
stallations (e.g. on a ship).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
 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.
 During installation, side-by-side heater installation, maintenance
and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the elec-
trical power supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
- the circuit breaker has been tripped, or
- the screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been re-
moved or
- the power cord has been unplugged. Pull on the plug and not on
the cord when removing it from the outlet.
 Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
 Any manufacturer's warranty may be void if the appliance is not
repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele re-
placement parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 This refrigeration appliance is supplied with a special bulb to cope
with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical re-
sistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. The bulb is not suitable
for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be installed by an au-
thorized technician or by Miele Customer Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Proper installation
 When installing the refrigeration appliance, it is a mandatory re-
quirement to follow the installation instructions supplied with it.
 Two people are required to install the appliance.
 Change the door hinging (if necessary) as described in these in-
stallation instructions.
 Only install the refrigeration appliance in a solid, rectangular, and
level housing unit, positioned on an even and level floor.
Correct use
 This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient tempera-
tures 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.
 WARNING! DANGER of overheating! Do not cover or block the air
vents. This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the
power consumption and cause damage to the appliance.
 If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance,
make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic compo-
nents as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store any explosive materials or
products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the
appliance. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of
gases to ignite.
 WARNING! Risk of explosion. Do not operate any electrical equip-
ment (e.g., an electric ice-cream maker) inside the refrigeration appli-
ance. Risk of sparking and explosion.
