Description of the appliance

Optional accessory

Miele{home

The Miele|home system gives you the

ability to check information about your

appliance at any time.

For example, if a temperature alarm,

power cut or other fault message

occurs, this information will be relayed

directly to the Miele|home system.

You will need a Miele|home system

(e.g. the Miele|home InfoControl)

and your appliance must be fitted

with Communication module

(XKM 2000 KF).

Please refer to the leaflet supplied with

the Miele|home Communication

module for details on how to install it

and on how to sign it on to your

Miele|home system.

The Miele|home system is supplied

with its own operating instructions.

Description of 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

Please ensure that the appliance

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. The

plug must be rendered useless and the

cable cut off directly behind the

appliance to prevent misuse. See the

"Warning and Safety" section of this

booklet for further details.

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 dispose of your old appliance at

your local community waste collection /

recycling centre and not with your

household waste.

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 can, however, present

a risk of both personal injury and

material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, read the

operating instructions carefully

before installation and before using

for the first time. They contain

important notes on the installation,

safety, operation and care of the

appliance.

Keep these operating instructions in

a safe place and pass them on to

any future user.

Correct use

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only for the cool

storage of foodstuffs 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 caused by

incorrect or improper use of the

appliance.

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. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

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 installation 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 every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3of

room space is required. The amount of

coolant in the appliance is stated on the

data plate inside the appliance.

Warning and Safety 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.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the appliance and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national safety regulations. It is most

important that this basic safety

requirement is present and regularly

tested. 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).

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 to ensure safety.

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 while maintenance or repair

work is being carried out.

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 the appliance

is disconnected from the mains

electricity supply.

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 appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating).
