Wine keeps on maturing depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
The wine storage unit with its constant
ideal temperature, increased air
humidity and odour free atmosphere
offers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 5 °C and 18 °C. The optimum
temperature is around 10-12 °C. Red
and white wine can be stored together
at this temperature and most white
wines can be consumed at this
temperature. It is best to take red wine
out of the wine storage unit about two
hours before drinking. Open the wine to
allow it to breathe and to develop its
aroma. After two hours, red wine will be
at the correct temperature for drinking.
If wine is stored at a temperature above
22 °C it will mature too quickly. Wine
should not be stored below 5 °C for a
long period of time as it will not mature
fully at this low temperature.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
A constant temperature will be
maintained in the appliance at an
ambient room temperature of 8 to
43 °C. (This is a wider temperature
range than the climate range quoted on
the data plate).
Safety features
A thermostat prevents the temperature
in the wine storage unit falling below
2 °C. If the external temperature should
drop below this level, a heater element
in the appliance switches on
automatically to keep the temperature
inside as constant as possible.
Setting the temperature
The temperature is set using the two
buttons under the temperature display.
Press the
+ button : to increase the temperature
(it gets warmer)
– button: to reduce the temperature (it
gets colder)
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When pressing the buttons, the
following information shows in the
display:
–When first pressed, the last
temperature selected flashes.
–Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
The optimum temperature and humidity
13

–Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button, the current temperature
inside the appliance is automatically
shown.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from
5 °C to 22 °C.
Temperature display
During normal operation, the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature inside the
appliance.
If the temperature in the appliance is
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display, only bars will light up
in the temperature display.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the setting, it can take the
appliance up to 8 hours to reach the
temperature required and for this
temperature to then be shown as a
constant temperature in the display.
The temperature display will flash if
–a different temperature is being set,
–the temperature in the wine storage
unit is too high or too low.
Temperature display brightness
The appliance is supplied with the
brightness of the temperature display
set as low as possible.
The level of brightness can be
adjusted:
^Press and hold the constant humidity
button for approx. 5 seconds.
The constant humidity button indicator
light will start flashing and a ;will flash
in the temperature display.
^Press one of the temperature selector
buttons repeatedly until ^appears in
the display.
^Press the constant humidity button
again.
^will light up constantly in the display.
^You can now adjust the level of
brightness by pressing the
temperature selector buttons. You
can choose from settings 1to 5:
1: lowest setting,
5: brightest setting.
^Press the constant humidity button to
save the setting.
The optimum temperature and humidity
14

^Press the On/Off button to come out
of setting mode.
If you do not do this, the electronics
will revert automatically to normal
operation after 2 minutes.
Humidity level
It is very important to store wine in an
atmosphere with a high humidity level
so that the corks remain moist on the
outside. A refrigerator with its low
humidity level is therefore not the best
place to store wine. Low humidity
causes corks to dry out from the
outside, and so do not seal the bottles
as tightly. Wine should be stored lying
down to keep the corks moist from the
inside too. Air entering the bottle will
inevitably spoil the wine.
An ideal humidity level of up to 70 %
will be maintained inside the appliance
as long as the ambient room
temperature is between 15°C and 35°C.
Useful tip: Before serving, stand the
wine upright for at least two hours, or
the entire day if possible, to allow any
sediment to settle at the bottom of the
bottle.
Constant humidity (Dynamic cooling)
button m
Dynamic cooling raises the relative
humidity inside the wine storage unit
and distributes the humidity and the
temperature evenly around the interior
so that you can store all your wine
under the exactly the same excellent
conditions.
Switching on Dynamic cooling
If you would like to use the wine storage
unit to store wine long term, we
recommend that you keep the Dynamic
cooling function switched on. This will
create a continuous climate in the
cabinet which imitates that of a wine
cellar.
^Press the constant humidity button
m. The indicator light will come on.
Even if Dynamic cooling has not
been switched on, the fan in the
appliance will come on automatically
when the cooling system switches
on to ensure your wine is kept in the
optimum climate.
The fan automatically switches off
when the door is open.
The optimum temperature and humidity
15

Switching off Dynamic cooling
The appliance uses slightly more
energy and is a little noisier when the
Dynamic cooling function is switched
on. If you are storing your wine for the
long term and so have Dynamic cooling
switched on constantly, you can switch
it off now and then if you like.
To switch it off, press the constant
humidity button m. The indicator light
will go out.
Air filtering with the active
charcoal filter
The active charcoal filter achieves
optimum air quality by filtering the
incoming air.
Fresh air from the outside enters the
appliance via the active charcoal filter.
The dynamic cooling system then
distributes the air evenly throughout the
cabinet.
Filtering the incoming air through the
active charcoal filter ensures that all the
air entering the appliance is fresh and
free from dust and smells.
This in turn ensures your wine does not
absorb any unwanted odours.
Replace the active charcoal filter
with a new one once a year (see
"Cleaning and care"). These are
available from your Miele Dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department.
The optimum temperature and humidity

Wooden shelves
Any vibration or movement of the bottle
can affect the wine by interrupting the
natural respiration process and so
impair the taste.
As far as possible, store bottles of the
same type of wine beside each other
on the same shelf. Removing a bottle of
one type will then leave the other types
undisturbed and will avoid the need to
move different bottles around.
The wooden shelves are removable
and height-adjustable and can be
arranged to suit your individual
requirements.
Descriptive labels
Use the labels supplied to identify your
wine quickly and easily.
^Insert the labels from above into the
front of the shelves.
Additional labels can be purchased
from your Miele Dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Maximum capacity
The following data was obtained using
standard Bordeaux wine bottles (0.75 l)
and the number of shelves supplied
with the appliance.
– KWL 4712 S ed: up to 162 bottles
– KWL 4912 S ed: up to 187 bottles
Door lock
You can lock the door of the wine
storage unit to prevent it being opened
without your knowledge.
^Insert the key in the door lock.
^Press it down and turn it 90° until the
door lock engages.
^Remove the key by pulling it
upwards.
To unlock the appliance, carry out the
procedure in the reverse order but turn
the key in the opposite direction.
Storing wine bottles
17

Your appliance is fitted with a warning
system which ensures that the
temperature cannot rise or fall
unnoticed and impair the wine.
Temperature alarm
The alarm will sound if the temperature
in the appliance rises approx. 4 °C
above or falls approx. 4 °C below the
set temperature. The temperature
display will flash at the same time.
The alarm will sound and the
temperature display will flash:
– when you switch the appliance on,
and for as long as the temperature
differs as described above from the
temperature set.
– if the door has been left open for a
while in order to re-arrange or take
wine bottles out and warm air has
entered the appliance.
– if a large number of wine bottles are
put into the storage unit at once.
–if there has been a lengthy
interruption to the power supply.
Door alarm
The alarm will sound if the door is left
open for more than approx. 3 minutes.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.

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
19

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.
Stainless steel surfaces can be
treated using a conditioning agent
for stainless steel such as Neoblank
(available for the Miele UK Spare
Parts Department). Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
label.
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the lighting.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
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 at the wall
socket and remove the plug.
^Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use warm water with a little washing up
liquid. Accessories and shelves should
all be hand-washed only.
^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 following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
^After cleaning, wipe 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.
E-Cloth
^A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals.
