Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Old appliances contain materials which  
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please  
contact your dealer, your waste collec-  
tion centre or scrap merchant about  
potential recycling schemes.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
Make sure that the pipework is not  
damaged whilst moving an old appli-  
ance. This is to ensure that the refriger-  
ant and oil in the compressor cannot  
leak into the environment. It is important  
that they are disposed of in a safe  
manner by authorised persons only.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
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!  
Ensure that the appliance presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
See the appropriate section in the  
Warning and safety instructions.

Warning and safety instructions  
Technical safety  
This appliance complies with all  
relevant legal safety requirements.  
Improper use of the appliance can,  
however, present a risk of both per-  
sonal injury and material damage.  
This appliance contains the coolant  
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas  
which is very environment friendly.  
Although it is flammable, it does not  
damage the ozone layer and does not  
increase the green house effect. The  
use of this environment friendly 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 transporta-  
tion and setting up 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 fires  
Before installation and before using  
for the first time, read the operating  
instructions carefully. They contain  
important notes on safety, the opera-  
tion and care of the appliance. This  
way you will avoid the risk of acci-  
dents and damage to the appliance.  
Keep these instructions in a safe  
place and pass them on to any  
future user.  
Correct usage  
This appliance is intended for  
domestic use only for the cool  
storage of foodstuffs.  
Any other usage is not supported by  
the manufacturer and could be danger-  
ous. The manufacturer cannot be held  
responsible for damage caused by  
improper use of the appliance.  
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.  
The more refrigerant there is in an  
appliance 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 combusti-  
ble gases building up.  
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3  
room space is required. The amount of  
coolant in the appliance is stated on the  
data plate inside the appliance.

the rating on the data plate corre-  
sponds to the voltage and frequency of  
the household supply.  
This data must correspond in order to  
avoid risk of damage to the appliance.  
If in any doubt, consult a qualified  
electrician  
The appliance is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
– the plug has been withdrawn.  
Do not pull on the cable, only on the  
plug.

national regulations. It is most important  
that this basic safety requirement is  
tested by a qualified electrician.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
responsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-  
tric shock).  
Use  
Safe operation of the appliance is  
only assured if it has been installed  
and connected in accordance with  
these operating and installation instruc-  
tions.  
Never store explosive materials in  
the appliance. Switching on  
thermostats and the interior light may  
produce sparks which could present a  
fire hazard.  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk assess-  
ment of the installation being carried  
out by a suitably qualified engineer.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed and stored upright.  
Danger of explosion.  
Observe the "use by" dates given  
on food to avoid the risk of food  
poisoning.  
Storage times will depend on several  
factors including the freshness and  
quality of the food as well as the  
temperature at which it is stored. Follow  
the instructions given on food manufac-  
turer’s packaging on storage conditions  
required as well as the "use by" date.  
Installation work, maintenance and  
repairs may only be carried out by  
suitably qualified and competent  
persons.  
Repairs and other work by unqualified  
persons could be dangerous and the  
manufacturer will not be held responsi-  
ble.

Warning and safety instructions  
Never place electric heaters or  
candles in the appliance to defrost  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
it. These can damage the plastic parts.  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
appliance and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.  
Do not use defrosting sprays, or  
de-icers as they could contain  
substances which could damage the  
plastic parts and which may cause the  
build up of gases and pose a danger to  
health.  
Do not use any grease or oil on the  
door seals. These cause the seals  
to become porous in the course of time.  
Disposal of old appliances  
Before disposing of an old appli-  
ance first make the door latch or  
lock unusable.  
This way you will prevent children from  
accidentally locking themselves in and  
endangering their lives.  
Do not block the ventilation gaps in  
the plinth or the top of the appli-  
ance housing unit as this would impair  
the efficiency of the appliance, increase  
the electricity consumption and could  
cause damage to the appliance.  
Before disposing of an old  
appliance, unplug it and render the  
plug useless. Cut off the cable directly  
behind the appliance and at the plug to  
prevent misuse.  
The appliance is designed for use  
within certain climate ranges  
(ambient temperatures). It must not be  
used in ranges for which it is not  
designed. The climate range for your  
appliance is stated on the data plate  
inside the appliance. Installing it in a  
room with too low an ambient tempera-  
ture will lead to the appliance switching  
off for longer periods so that it cannot  
maintain the required temperature.  
Be careful not to damage any part  
of the pipework whilst awaiting  
disposal, e.g. by  
– puncturing the refrigerant channels  
in the evaporator.  
– bending any pipework.  
– scratching the surface coating.  
Never use steam cleaning  
apparatus to defrost or clean the  
appliance. The steam could attack the  
electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the  
eyes.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these safety  
instructions.

Operation  
Before using for the first time  
Switching off for longer  
periods of time  
^ Clean the inside of the appliance and  
the accessories with luke warm water  
and a little washing up liquid and  
then dry using a soft cloth.  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday  
^ switch the appliance off at the mains,  
Switching on  
^ withdraw the plug (pull on the plug  
and not the cable),  
^ clean the appliance out and  
^ leave the door ajar to air the appli-  
ance  
^ Using a coin turn the On/Off dial in a  
clockwise direction away from the "0"  
position.  
If, during a long absence, the appli-  
ance is switched off but not cleaned

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro organisms. Reducing the ^ Using a coin turn the temperature

dial in a clockwise direction to the  
required setting.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
Turn it only as far as it will go, then  
turn it back again. Turning it beyond  
its range would damage it.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
The higher the setting, the lower the  
temperature in the appliance.  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
With normal use a setting of between 2  
and 3 is usually sufficient.  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
Temperature display  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
During normal operation the tempera-  
ture display on the control panel shows  
the temperature in the warmest part of  
the appliance.  
If the temperature in the appliance is  
not within the range which can be  
displayed, i.e. between 2 and 9 °C, only  
a bar will show in the temperature  
display.  
. . . in the refrigerator  
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C  
in the middle of the refrigerator section.  
Natural air circulation inside the  
appliance will mean that there are areas  
inside the appliance which will be  
warmer or colder than the temperature  
displayed. As long as dynamic cooling  
has not been engaged this is quite  
normal.  
Temperature selection  
The temperature is set with the temper-  
ature dial.  
Make use of the different temperature  
zones for storing your food correctly.

inside the appliance is distributed to all  
areas more evenly. All food stored in  
the appliance will be chilled to about  
Switching on the Super cool function the same degree. The temperature is  
controlled as normal with the tempera-  
ture dial.  
Super cool is particularly recom-  
mended for faster chilling of large loads  
of fresh food or drink.  
Dynamic cooling should be selected  
when:  
– the ambient temperature in the room  
is high (above approx. 30 °C) and  
– the room humidity level is high.  
Switching on dynamic cooling  
^ Press the Super cool button, the  
Super cool indicator light will come  
on.  
The appliance works at full power to  
lower the temperature in the appli-  
ance.  
^ Press the dynamic cooling button m.  
The dynamic cooling indicator light  
will come on.  
Switching off the Super cool function  
The Super cool function switches itself  
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.  
The indicator light goes out and the  
appliance continues running at normal  
power.  
Switching off dynamic cooling  
When dynamic cooling is switched on  
the appliance uses more energy. It  
should therefore be switched off when  
the room temperature is normal (below  
30 °C) and when humidity levels are  
normal.  
To save energy the Super cool function  
can be switched off once food and  
drinks are sufficiently chilled.  
^ Press the Super cool button. The  
Super cool indicator light will go out.  
^ Press the dynamic cooling button m.  
The dynamic cooling indicator light  
will go out.  
The appliance continues running at  
normal power.

Storing food  
Natural air circulation gives rise to  
different temperature zones inside the  
appliance. Cold, heavy air sinks to the  
lowest section of the appliance.  
Loading examples  
^ When placing food in the appliance  
load the top shelves first and work  
your way down to the bottom starting  
with baked goods, pre-cooked foods  
and milk products and finishing with  
meats, fish and sausages.  
Make use of the different zones  
when placing food in the appliance.  
The coldest zones are against the  
back wall and above the vegetable  
containers. Use the area above the  
vegetable containers for perishable  
foods such as meat, sausage, fish etc.  
^ Use the vegetable containers for  
storing vegetables, salad and fruit.  
Not all fruit and vegetables should  
be stored together in the same con-  
tainer as they give off natural gases  
which affect the perishability of other  
foods. (See section "Chilling and  
storing food").  
The warmest zone is in the top section  
of the door. Use this area for storing  
butter and cheese.  
^ Fill the door shelves from the top to  
the bottom.  
Start with butter, cheese, small tins,  
bottles and tubes in the upper  
shelves, followed by large bottles,  
juice containers and milk in the  
bottom shelves.  
Do not store cooking oil in the appli-  
ance door.  
Traces of oil can cause stress  
cracks to occur in the plastic  
components in the door.

remove it by pulling it forwards.  
^ Pull the shelves forward as far as  
they will go then lift them upwards to  
remove them.  
^ Replace the door shelf at the  
required position. Ensure that it is  
securely pushed back into position.  
^ With the rear barrier facing upwards  
place the shelf at the required posi-  
tion.  
The rear barrier must face upwards to  
prevent food from touching the back  
of the appliance and freezing to it.  
Moving the bottle divider  
The bottle divider can be moved to the  
left or right to ensure that bottles are  
held securely in position when the door  
is opened and shut.  
Split shelf  
(depending on model)  
In order to accommodate tall items in  
the appliance one of the shelves is  
divided. The front section can be taken  
out to allow space for tall items stand-  
ing on the shelf below.

Chilling and storing food  
Important notes:  
Food which should not be stored in a  
refrigerator  
Use the different cooling zones for  
storing food correctly. See the  
section on loading examples.  
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.  
These include:  
– Fruit and vegetables such as  
bananas, avocado pears, papaya,  
passion fruit, aubergines  
– Food must not touch the back wall of  
the appliance. Otherwise it may  
freeze to the back wall.  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
– Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing combustible gas (e.g.  
spray cans). Danger of explosion.  
Some types of vegetables give off a  
natural gas which speeds up the rate at  
which food perishes. Some fruit and  
vegetables react strongly to this gas  
and should not be stored together in  
the vegetable containers.  
– If storing alcohol with a high percent-  
age proof, make sure it is tightly  
closed, and store upright.  
– Hot food and drinks must be cooled  
to room temperature before placing  
them in the appliance.  
Examples of fruit which produce a  
large amount of this natural gas are:  
– Store food covered or packaged.  
This way you will prevent food smells  
or tastes from affecting other foods  
and prevent food from drying out.  
Fruit and vegetables may, however,  
be stored loose in the vegetable  
containers.  
Apples, passion fruit, apricots, pears,  
nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado  
pears, papayas and figs.  
Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which react strongly to the natural  
gases given off by other types of fruit  
and vegetables are:  
– Do not store groceries too close to  
each other. Space should be left  
between individual items for air to  
circulate.  
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,  
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,  
bananas, avocado pears, pears,  
nectarines and peaches.  
– Do not keep the door open for too  
long when putting food in and taking  
it out of the appliance. This will help  
save energy.  
14  
 
 
Defrosting  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the appliance whilst it  
is in use. These are automatically re-  
moved and defrosted by the appliance.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an evapora-  
tion system at the back of the appli-  
ance.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are never blocked so  
that condensate can flow away with-  
out hindrance.  
15  
 
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the interior and  
accessories  
Never use cleaning agents contain-  
ing 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.  
Use lukewarm water with a little mild  
detergent. Accessories and shelves  
should all be hand washed. The butter  
dish is, however, dishwasher safe.  
^ Clean the appliance at least once a  
month.  
Door fronts should be cleaned using  
a solution of warm water with mild  
detergent applied with a soft cloth or  
with a suitable cleaning agent for the  
type of door panel fitted.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that conden-  
sate can drain away unhindered. Use  
a straw or similar to clear the drain if  
necessary.  
Make sure that no water can pene-  
trate into the electronic unit or into  
the light.  
^ Wipe the interior and accessories  
with a damp cloth and dry with a soft  
cloth. Leave the door open to air for a  
short while.  
Do not let water get into the  
drainage channel and drain hole  
when cleaning.  
E-Cloth  
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts  
Department, Part Number 980 13530,  
which is suitable for cleaning  
surfaces such as stainless steel,  
glass, plastic and chrome without the  
use of chemicals.  
Never use steam cleaning appara-  
tus to defrost or clean the appliance.  
The steam could attack the electrical  
components and cause a short  
circuit.  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is re-  
quired in the event of a service call.  
Ventilation gaps  
^ The ventilation gaps should be  
cleaned on a regular basis with a  
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up  
of dust will increase the appliance’s  
energy consumption.  
Before cleaning  
^ Switch the appliance off by turning  
the On/Off dial to the "0" position.  
^ Take any food out of the appliance  
and store it in a cool place.  
^ Take out any removable parts e.g.  
shelves for cleaning.  
16  
 
 
Cleaning and care  
Door seal  
Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seals as these will cause the  
seals to deteriorate and become  
porous with time.  
The door seals should be cleaned reg-  
ularly with clean water and then wiped  
dry with a soft cloth.  
After cleaning  
^ Replace all shelves and accessories  
in the appliance.  
^ Switch the appliance on with the  
On/Off dial.  
^ Place food back in the appliance and  
close the door.

Installation  
Ventilation  
This appliance must be built in,  
otherwise it could tip up.  
Air at the rear of the appliance gets  
warm. The appliance housing unit must  
be constructed to allow sufficient space  
for ventilation. Miele kitchen units are  
designed to provide this ventilation.  
Location  
The appliance should be installed in a  
dry, well-ventilated room.  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance for air to circulate.  
The air inlet to the appliance is via the  
plinth in the housing unit.  
The cross section of the air inlet and  
outlet must be at least 200 cm2 to  
ensure that air can circulate without hin-  
drance. Otherwise the appliance has to  
work too hard resulting in an increase in  
electricity consumption and damage to  
the compressor.  
The room temperature should not go  
above or below the climate range for  
which the appliance is designed. The  
higher the ambient temperature of the  
room the more energy the appliance  
requires to operate. It should not be  
installed where it is exposed to direct  
sunlight or directly adjacent to a  
heat-producing appliance such as an  
oven or a radiator.  
Climate range  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
The appliance is desigend for a  
particular climate range (ambient room  
temperature), and should not be used  
outside this range. The climate range of  
this appliance is stated on the data  
plate inside the appliance.

Installation  
Tools required  
For installation you will need a screw  
driver, a cross-slotted screwdriver, a  
spirit level and a square.  
Building into a peninsular run  
When built into a peninsular run the rear  
of the building-in niche must be fitted  
with a kitchen panel.  
If the old appliance had a  
different hinging system  
If the old appliance had a different type  
of hinging the furniture door can still be  
used. Remove the old hinges from the  
furniture carcase. They are no longer  
required, because the furniture door is  
now fitted to the appliance door. All  
parts required should be in the acces-  
sories pack.  
If the furniture door has holes in it from  
the old hinges, use the enclosed  
self-adhesive strip to conceal the holes  
as they are no longer required.
