Technical safety
 The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The wine
conditioning unit complies with statutory safety requirements and
the appropriate EU directives.
 This wine conditioning unit contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant
does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does
not affect the performance of the wine conditioning unit.
When transporting and installing the wine conditioning unit, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of coolant
can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine conditioning unit from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes.
- Contact your Miele Dealer.
 The more coolant there is in a wine conditioning unit, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the
appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible
gases building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1m3 of room
space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated
on the data plate inside the wine conditioning unit.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 To avoid the risk of damage to the wine conditioning unit, 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 wine conditioning
unit. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 The electrical safety of the wine conditioning unit can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of the wine conditioning unit can only
be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
 Do not connect the wine conditioning unit 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, it could cause a short
circuit. Therefore, do not operate this wine conditioning unit in areas
which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or utility room).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
 Do not use a damaged wine conditioning unit. It could be
dangerous. Check the wine conditioning unit for visible signs of
damage.
 The wine conditioning unit must be isolated from the electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work.
 While the wine conditioning unit is under warranty, repairs should
only be undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
 Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 This wine conditioning unit is supplied with a special lamp to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only
be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service
Department. This wine conditioning unit contains several light
sources with at least energy efficiency classE.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 The wine conditioning unit is designed for use within a certain
climate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range for your wine conditioning unit
is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room
with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the
wine conditioning unit switching off for longer periods so that it
cannot maintain the required temperature.
 Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the components.
 If the wine conditioning unit is used for storing food which
contains fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with
plastic components. Any spillages of oil or fat could cause stress
cracks to the plastic and cause it to break or split.
 Risk of fire and explosion. Do not store explosive materials in the
wine conditioning unit 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 appliances
inside the wine conditioning unit. Danger of sparking and explosion.
Accessories and spare parts
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your wine unit.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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 this wine
conditioning unit.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the wine conditioning unit. Do not
use sharp edged or pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice,
- remove labels, stickers etc.
Transport
 Always transport the wine conditioning unit in an upright position
and in its original transport packaging to avoid damage in transit.
 Danger of injury and damage to the appliance. The wine
conditioning unit is very heavy and must be transported by two
people.
Disposal of your old appliance
 If your old wine unit or refrigeration appliance has a door lock,
destroy it.
This will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking
themselves in and endangering their lives.
 Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to
damage 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.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the wine conditioning unit 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
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to your health and to the
environment if disposed of with general
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please
do not, therefore, dispose of your old
appliance with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele. By law, you are solely
responsible for deleting any personal
data from the appliance prior to
disposal.
Take care not to damage your wine
conditioning unit's pipework before or
during transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
poses no risk to children while being
stored prior to disposal. For further
information, see “Warning and safety
instructions” in these operating and
installation instructions.
