Guide to the appliance

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for

disposal, and can normally be

recycled.

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!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure that they

are recycled.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be unplugged or

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply by a competent person.

Take care not to damage the pipework

at the back of it before or during

transportation to an authorised

collection depot.

In this way, refrigerant in the pipework

and oil in the compressor will be

contained, and will not leak out into the

environment.

Caring for the environment

This appliance complies with all

relevant local and national safety

requirements. Improper use can,

however, present a risk of both

personal injury and material

damage.

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 notes on the installation,

safety, operation and care of the

appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and pass them on to any

future user.

Correct application

~This appliance is intended for

domestic use only for the cool storage

of food and drinks as well as for storing

deep frozen food, freezing fresh food

and for preparing ice.

Any other usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held liable for damage resulting

from the incorrect or improper use of

the appliance.

~This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they

are supervised whilst using it, or have

been shown how to use it by a person

responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid

the risk or injury, do not allow children

to play with it or near it or to play with

the controls. Older children may only

use the appliance when its operation

has been clearly explained to them and

they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

~Keep children away from the

appliance at all times, and supervise

them whilst you are using it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~Before setting up the appliance,

check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install and use a

damaged appliance.

~If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a service

technician authorised by the

manufacturer to protect the user from

danger.

~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 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 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 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 every8gofcoolant at least 1 m3of

room space is required. The amount of

coolant in the appliance is stated on the

data plate inside the appliance.

~Safe operation of the appliance is

only assured if it has been installed and

connected in accordance with these

operating and installation instructions.

~Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, make sure that the

rating on the data plate corresponds to

the voltage and frequency of the

household supply.

This data must correspond in order to

avoid the risk of damage to the

appliance. Consult a qualified

electrician if in any doubt.

~Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a

multi-socket unit or an extension lead.

These do not guarantee the required

safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of

overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions

~The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it

and an effective earthing system which

complies with current local and national

safety regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

present and tested regularly, and

where there is any doubt the household

wiring system should be inspected by a

qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a

suitably qualified and competent

person in strict accordance with current

national and local safety regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous. The

manufacturer cannot be held liable for

unauthorised work.

~While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician

authorised by the manufacturer.

Otherwise the guarantee will be

invalidated.

~The appliance must be isolated from

the electricity supply during installation,

maintenance and repair work.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply

when:

–it has been switched off at the socket

and the plug has been withdrawn, or

–the fuse from the fused spur

connection unit has been withdrawn,

- the mains fuse has been withdrawn,

- the screw-out fuse has been

removed (in countries where this is

applicable).

~Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. The manufacturer can only

guarantee the safety of the appliance

when Miele replacement parts are

used.

~This equipment may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships,

caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

~In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage caused by cockroaches or

other vermin will not be covered by the

guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~Never handle frozen food with wet

hands. Your hands may freeze to the

frozen food. 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 frost burn to the

lips and tongue.

~Do not refreeze thawed or partially

thawed food.

Defrosted food should be used up as

quickly as possible, as food soon loses

its nutritional value and goes off.

Defrosted food may only be re-frozen

after it has been cooked.

~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

manufacturer's packaging on storage

conditions required, as well as the “use

by” date.

~Never store explosive materials in

the appliance. Thermostats switching

on may produce sparks which could

present a fire hazard. Flammable

compounds could explode.

~Do not operate any electrical

equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream

maker) inside the appliance. Danger of

sparking and explosion.

~If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is tightly

closed and stored upright.

Danger of explosion.

~Do not store cans or bottles

containing carbonated drinks or liquids

which could freeze in the freezer. The

cans or bottles could explode.

Danger of injury and damage to the

appliance.

~When cooling drinks quickly in the

freezer, make sure bottles are not left in

for more than one hour, otherwise they

could burst, resulting in injury or

damage.

~Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– separate frozen foods or remove ice

trays.

They will damage the evaporator,

causing irreversible damage to the

appliance.

~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 block the ventilation gaps in

the appliance as this would impair the

efficiency of the appliance, increase the

electricity consumption and could

cause damage to the appliance.
