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 your

old appliance 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 legal safety requirements.

Improper use of the appliance 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 drink.

Any other usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held liable for damage resulting

from incorrect or improper use or

operation.

~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

have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for

their safety.

Safety with children

~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury, do not allow children

to play on or near it or to play with the

controls. Older children may only use

the appliance if 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.

~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, but 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 be harmful to 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.

~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.

~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 damage or injury caused by the lack

of or inadequacy of an effective

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Safe operation of the appliance is

only assured if it has been installed and

connected in accordance with these

operating and installation instructions.

~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.

~Installation work, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by

suitably qualified and competent

persons in accordance with national

and local safety regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous and the

manufacturer will not be held liable.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

~The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply

when:

–it has been switched off at the wall

socket and the plug has been

withdrawn,

–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

–the screw-out fuse is removed in

countries where this is applicable.

~Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by an extension

lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the

required safety of the machine (e.g.

danger of overheating).

~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 which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

~Never store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products

containing propellants (e.g. spray

cans). 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.

~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 the food

manufacturer’s packaging on storage

conditions required.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Do not use sharp edged objects to

–remove frost and ice,

–separate food which has become

frozen.

They will damage the evaporator,

causing irreversible damage to the

appliance.

~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.

~Do not use any oils or grease on the

door seal as these will cause the seal to

become porous with time.

~Do not store cooking oil in the

refrigerator door. Traces of oil can

cause stress cracks to occur in the

plastic components in the door.

~Do not block the ventilation gap in

the plinth or the top of the appliance

housing unit as this would impair the

efficiency of the appliance, increase

the electricity consumption and could

cause damage to the appliance.

~The appliance is designed for use

within certain climate ranges (ambient

temperatures), and should not be used

outside this range. 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 temperature, e.g. a garage,

can lead to the appliance switching off

for longer periods so that it cannot

maintain the required temperature.

~Never use a steam-cleaning

appliance to clean this appliance.

Pressurised steam could reach the

electrical components and cause a

short circuit.

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.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the

eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Use Only open the doors when

necessary and for as short a time

as possible.

Frequent opening of the doors for

long periods will cause a loss of

coldness.

Store food in an organised way. If food is not stored in an

organised way, searching for an

item will mean the door is open for

longer.

Allow hot food and drinks to cool

down before placing them in the

appliance.

Placing hot food in the appliance

will cause the compressor to run

for a long time, as the appliance

will have to work harder to lower

the temperature.

Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation

of liquids will cause a loss of

coldness in the refrigerator.

Place frozen food in the

refrigerator to defrost.

Do not over-fill the appliance to

allow air to circulate.

Defrosting Defrost the freezer compartment

when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick

has built up.

A layer of ice hinders the cold

from reaching the frozen food, and

causes an increase in energy

consumption.
