This appliance complies with all statutory safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance,
please read these instructions carefully before installation and
before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on installation, safety, use and maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
, Warning!
This appliance is very heavy and can tip forwards when the door
is open. Keep the appliance door shut until the appliance has
been built in and secured in its building-in niche in accordance
with these operating and installation instructions.
Correct application
~ The appliance is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments. It is not intended for
outdoor use.
~ This appliance is intended for domestic use only, to store deep
frozen food, freeze fresh food, and to make ice.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
7Warning and Safety instructions ~ The appliance is not suitable for storing and keeping cool medicines, blood plasma, laboratory preparations or other such materials or products. Incorrect use of the appliance for such purposes can cause deterioration of the items stored. The appliance is also not suitable for use in areas susceptible to explosion. Miele cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation. ~ The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation. Safety with children ~ Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised. ~ Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation. ~ Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance unsupervised. ~ Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do not let them play with it. ~ The door hinges can cause injury. Keep children well away at all times. 8
Warning and Safety instructions
~ Please bear in mind that by removing the dividing panel in the
large freezer basket, children may be tempted to climb inside. THIS
COULD PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER.
~ Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their
head and suffocate.
Technical safety
~ The coolant system is tested for leaks. The appliance complies
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU
guidelines.
~ This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase 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 system. This is unavoidable, and does not have
any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged.
Splashes of coolant can injure the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
9Warning and Safety instructions – avoid any open flames or anything which creates a spark, – disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, – ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and – contact the Service Department for advice. ~ The more coolant 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 combustible gases building up. For every 8 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 appliance. ~ 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 this appliance can only be guaranteed when it is 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. ~ 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 appliance to the mains electrical supply by an extension lead or a multi-socket adapter. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. ~ Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utility room). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection and cause a short circuit. 10
Warning and Safety instructions
~ This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
~ A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance
for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
~ For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
~ The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that
power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been
installed or until after any maintenance or repair work has been
carried out.
~ Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger to users. Installation, maintenance and repair
work must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
~ While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
~ The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
~ The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by a
faulty connection to the mains water supply.
~ Connection to the mains water supply and any repairs to the ice
cube maker must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and
competent person.
~ The ice cube maker is not suitable for connection to a hot water
supply.
~ Before making plumbing connections, ensure that the machine is
disconnected from the mains electrical supply.
11Warning and Safety instructions ~ Never tamper with the movable components on the ice cube maker, including the ice cube expulsion mechanism or the element on the ice cube maker. Danger of injury. Correct use ~ The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges (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. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the compressor switching off for longer periods so that the appliance cannot maintain the required temperature. ~ Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the energy consumption and could cause damage to the appliance. ~ If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic. ~ Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of sparking and explosion. 12
Warning and Safety instructions
~ Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric
ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking
and explosion.
~ Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or
liquids which could freeze in the freezer. The cans or bottles could
explode, causing injury or damage.
~ When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are
not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst,
causing injury or damage.
~ Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with
wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or metal parts.
Danger of frost burn.
~ Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place
ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The
very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frostburn
to the lips or tongue.
~ Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
~ Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage
instructions 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 the food manufacturer's
packaging regarding storage conditions and "use-by" dates.
~ To avoid the risk of any potential illness, do not deactivate the
reminder to change the water filter.
13Warning and Safety instructions ~ Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability. Cleaning and care ~ Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal, as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time. ~ Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. ~ Do not use sharp edged objects to – remove frost and ice, – lift frozen food and remove ice trays. They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. ~ Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts. ~ Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health. 14
Warning and Safety instructions
Disposal of your old appliance
~ Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking
themselves in and endangering their lives.
~ 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.
Leaking refrigerant can damage the eyes.
