This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/ shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts. This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.
This appliance is intended for domestic use only for the cool storage of food and drinks.

Any other usage is not permitted.

This 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 not suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect 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 have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

Safety with children

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the appliance and do not let them play with it.

Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material (e.g. foil) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

Technical safety

The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance complies with all current local and national safety requirements.

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 has a lower greenhouse effect than some other refrigerants.

The use of this coolant, however, leads 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 refrigerant can damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

• avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,
• disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,

• ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several minutes, and

• call Miele.

The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger the room should be in which it is installed. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is a danger of combustible gases building up. For every 11g of coolant at least 1m^3 of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on a 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 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.
Reliable and safe operation of this appliance can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician in order to avoid a hazard.
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).
If moisture gets into electrical components or into the mains connection cable, it could cause a short circuit. Therefore, do not operate this refrigeration appliance in areas which are exposed to moisture (e.g in a garage or laundry).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
- Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

Correct use

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (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, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods, with the result that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
To ensure proper air flow in and out of the appliance, the ventilation gaps in the appliance and built-in structure must not be covered or blocked in any way. This would also 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 appliance door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic. Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance.
- Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Flammable gas mixtures can be ignited by electrical components. Danger of fire and explosion!
- Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream maker) inside the appliance.
Danger of sparking and explosion!

Food stored for too long may present a 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.
- Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Cleaning and care

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 use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or pointed objects to
- remove frost and ice, or accelerate the defrosting process,
- separate frozen foods and remove ice trays.

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.

Transport

To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and in its packaging.
Danger of injury and damage. The appliance is very heavy and must be transported by two people.

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.

Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

• puncturing the refrigerant channels in the condenser,
• bending any pipework, or
• scratching the surface coating.

Symbol on the compressor (depending on model)

This information is only relevant for recycling. In normal operation there is no risk.

The oil in the compressor can be fatal if swallowed or if it penetrates the airways.

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.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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!

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. 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 for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact Miele. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance 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.

Please ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored awaiting disposal. See "Warning and Safety instructions" for more information.

Important: Each time the Miele Care product for stainless steel is used, it applies a protective film that is stain and water resistant.

Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories.

Operating the appliance

A light touch of the finger on the sensors is all that is required to operate this appliance.

Each touch of a sensor is confirmed with a keypad tone. The keypad tone can be switched off if you wish (see "Further settings - Audible tones").

Switching on

When the appliance is connected to the electricity supply, the mains connection symbol - will appear in the display after a short while.

Touch the On/Off sensor.

The mains connection symbol - goes out and the temperature appears in the display.

The appliance begins to cool.

When the refrigerator door is opened, the interior lighting comes on and the LED lighting on the adjustable shelves becomes brighter until it reaches its maximum brightness.

To enable the temperature to get sufficiently cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance to run for a few hours before placing food in it.

Switching off

• Touch the On/Off sensor. If this does not work, the safety lock is activated.

The temperature display disappears and the mains connection symbol -C lights up.

The interior lighting goes out and the cooling is switched off.

Switching off the appliance in Sabbath mode

The appliance can be switched off directly at any time.

Touch the On/Off sensor.

The temperature display disappears and the mains connection symbol -Q lights up.

The interior lighting goes out and the cooling is switched off.

When the appliance is switched back on again, Sabbath mode is deactivated.

Switching off for longer periods of time

If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the doors are left shut, there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance. It is essential to clean the appliance.

If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:

switch the appliance off,
- switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or switch off the mains circuit breaker,
clean the appliance, and
leave the doors ajar to air the appliance and to prevent odours building up.

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 temperature reduces their growth rate.

The temperature in the appliance will rise:

• the more often the door is opened and the longer it is kept open,
• the more food is stored in the refrigerator,
• the warmer the food is which is being put into it,
• the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the appliance. The appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

... in the refrigerator section and in the PerfectFresh zone

We recommend a temperature of 4^ C in the refrigerator section.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically and maintained at 0 to 3^ C .

Automatic temperature distribution (DynaCool)

The fan switches on automatically when the cooling system for the refrigerator switches on. It distributes the temperature in the appliance to all areas more evenly so that all the food is chilled to about the same degree.

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the current mean refrigerator temperature.

Depending on the room temperature and the temperature setting, it can take several hours until the selected temperature is reached and displayed steadily.

Setting the temperature

Use the two sensors underneath the display to set the temperature.

By touching the sensor

• the temperature decreases,

• the temperature increases.

While the temperature is being set, the temperature value will flash.

When you tap the sensors, the following information appears in the display:

• When first tapped: The last preset temperature flashes.
• Each subsequent touch of the sensor: The temperature is adjusted in 1^ steps.
• Leaving the finger on the sensor changes the temperature continuously.

Approximately 5 seconds after the last time a sensor has been touched, the display automatically reverts to showing the current temperature inside the refrigerator.

Or

• Touch the OK sensor to confirm your selection.
  If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.
  If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, adjust it again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted between 3^ and 9^ .

Adjusting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone

In the PerfectFresh zone, the temperature is automatically maintained between 0 and 3^ . However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g. when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly.

The default setting for the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is 5. Under certain circumstances, a setting from 1 to 4 can cause negative temperatures to be reached. Food could freeze.

The newly set temperature for the PerfectFresh zone will gradually be reached.

SuperCool

The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature).

Switching on SuperCool

SuperCool is particularly recommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drinks.

• Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it is highlighted in yellow.

The appliance will work at full power to lower the temperature in the refrigerator section.

Switching off SuperCool

The SuperCool function switches off automatically after approx. 12 hours. The appliance will then run at normal power again.

To save energy, you can manually switch off the SuperCool function once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.

• Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it is no longer highlighted in yellow.

The appliance will operate at normal power again.

The appliance is fitted with a warning system to avoid increased energy consumption and food becoming warm if the door is left open.

An alarm will sound if the door is left open for too long. The alarm symbol will light up.

The time until the door alarm is triggered depends on the selected setting and can be either 2 minutes (factory default) or 4 minutes. The door alarm can also be switched off (see "Further settings - Audible tones").

As soon as the door is closed, the audible tone will stop and the alarm symbol will disappear from the display.

If no audible tone sounds even though a door alarm is available, then the audible tone has been switched off in settings mode (see "Further settings - Audible tones").

Different storage zones

Due to the natural air circulation there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section.

Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different temperature zones when placing food in the appliance.

To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the refrigerator.

Do not cover the fan in the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this is essential for keeping the appliance cool.

Food must not touch the back of the refrigerator section as it may freeze to the back wall.

This appliance has DynaCool, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. When DynaCool is switched on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area is located in the top section of the main storage area and the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and for cheese so that it retains its flavour.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator section is directly above the PerfectFresh zone dividing plate and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone compartments is even colder.

Use these areas in the refrigerator section and in the PerfectFresh zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.

• fish, meat, poultry
• sausage products, ready meals
• dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
• fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or quiche dough
• soft cheese and other dairy products
• pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 4^ C .

Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5^ because it is sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance, consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.

Foods which are sensitive to cold include:

• Pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, mandarines, grapefruits
• Fruit which is not yet ripe
• Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes, capsicums, tomatoes, zucchini
• Hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan, mountain cheese.

What to be aware of when shopping for food

The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is the most important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the appliance.

Always observe the use-by date and the recommended storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator should be kept to a minimum, for example, when transporting food in a hot car.

Useful tip: Take a cooler bag with you when shopping and on return place food into the appliance immediately.

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the refrigerator section is in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in the PerfectFresh zone). This will prevent food smells from affecting other foods, food from drying out, and also cross-contamination of bacteria. This is especially important when storing meat products.

By ensuring that the temperature settings are correct and by taking appropriate hygiene measures, you can prolong the storage life of your food considerably.

The Perfect Fresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins.

The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is controlled automatically and maintained at 0 to 3^ . While lower than the temperature in a conventional refrigerator, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sensitive to cold. The deterioration process is decelerated at this temperature range so food can be stored without loss of freshness for considerably longer.

The humidity level in the PerfectFresh zone can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. Food retains its own moisture if stored at a higher humidity and does not dry out as quickly. This allows it to stay crisp and fresh for longer.

Remember that the freshness of the food when first placed in the appliance is the most important factor in determining how long it will stay fresh.

Take food out of the PerfectFresh zone approx. 30 to 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.

The Perfect Fresh zone is divided into two compartments:

• The upper dry compartment has a temperature of 0^ C to 3^ C and the humidity is not increased. Use this compartment to store fish, meat, dairy products and all kinds of food, provided that it is wrapped.
• The lower humidity controlled compartment (or compartments, depending on model) has a temperature of 0^ C to 3^ C , and the humidity level is increased depending on the position of the slide control: not increased, or increased. With increased humidity use this compartment to store fruit and vegetables.

Dry compartment

The dry compartment is suitable for storing perishable foods such as:

• Fresh fish, shellfish and crustaceans
• Meat, poultry, sausages
• Deli salads
• Dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese, cream, quark etc.
• Any type of food can in fact be stored in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.

The most important aspect of the dry compartment is its low temperature. The humidity level is similar to that in a conventional refrigerator.

Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

For hygiene reasons always keep these foods covered or wrapped.

Humidity controlled compartment ,

The humidity controlled compartment has a slide control which is used to regulate the moisture in this compartment.

Slide the regulator to the or humidity setting.

If you are not satisfied with your stored food (for example the food wilts or becomes limp after only a short storage time), check the following:

• Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness.
  Clean the PerfectFresh compartments before storing food in them.
  Dry the surface of very moist food before placing it in the refrigerator.
• Do not store any food in the PerfectFresh zone which is sensitive to cold (see "Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator").
  For the type of food being stored, select the correct PerfectFresh compartment and the appropriate position of the slide control for the humidity controlled compartment (low or high humidity).

An increased humidity level in the humidity controlled compartment is achieved by the moisture present in the food being stored, i.e. the more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.

If too much moisture has gathered on the floor of the compartment and this is affecting the food, select the setting.

Otherwise dry the floor and underneath the lid with a cloth and place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drain away.

If the humidity level becomes too low, wrap the food in airtight packaging.

If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is too high or too low, try regulating it slightly first by changing the temperature by 1 or 2^ . If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the PerfectFresh compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

Adjusting the door shelf / bottle shelf

Lift up the door shelf / bottle shelf and pull it towards you to remove it.
- Replace the shelf at the required height. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position.

Adjusting the bottle holder

The bottle holder can be moved to the left or right to create more room for drink cartons.

The bottle holder can be removed completely, e.g. for cleaning:

Lift up the bottle shelf and pull it towards you to remove it.
- Detach the bottle holder from the back edge of the bottle shelf.

Moving the adjustable shelf / adjustable shelf with lighting

The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food.

• Raise the shelf and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.
  Push in the shelf until it clicks into position.

The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.

Stoppers prevent the shelves from being dislodged by mistake.

Adjustable shelves with lighting

The LED lighting is located on the stainless steel strip of the adjustable shelf. By adjusting the position of the shelf in the refrigerator section, you can change the illumination in this section according to your needs.

Adjusting the bottle rack

The bottle rack can be placed on different levels in the appliance.

• Raise the rack and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level.

The stop bar at the back must face upward to prevent the bottles from touching the back wall.

PerfectFresh zone drawers

The drawers in the PerfectFresh zone sit on telescopic runners and can be removed for loading, unloading or cleaning:

Remove the bottle shelf from the door to make it easier to take out the drawers.

Pull the drawers out as far as they will go.

Holding the sides of the drawer at the back, lift it up and then pull it forwards and out.

Push the runners back in to avoid injury or damage.

Carefully pull the lid between the drawers slightly forwards, then take it down and out.

Be careful not to wash out the special lubricant in the telescopic runners during cleaning.

Wipe the telescopic runners with a damp cloth to clean them.

To replace the lid, insert it from underneath into the holders and push it back until it clicks into place.

Inserting the fruit and vegetable drawer

Push the runners back in completely and then place the drawers on them.
Push the drawers into the appliance until they click into position.

Moving the charcoal filters

Charcoal filters and a KKF-FF (Active AirClean) holder are available as optional accessories (see "Guide to the appliance - Optional accessories").

When you are storing very strong smelling food (e.g. very ripe cheese):

• Place the holder with the charcoal filters on the shelf where this food is kept.
• Change the charcoal filters sooner if necessary.
• Use more charcoal filters (with holders) in the appliance (see "Guide to the appliance - Optional accessories").

The holder for the charcoal filters sits on the protective strip at the back of the shelf.

To move the charcoal filters, pull the holder upwards to remove it from the protective strip.

• Refit it on the protective strip of the shelf you wish to use it on.

Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh zone

The refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone defrost automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the PerfectFresh zone while the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance.

The condensate is drained away through a channel and drain hole, then fed into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.

Condensate must be able to drain away unhindered at all times. Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this.

Do not let water get into the electronic unit or the lighting.

Steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.

The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a service call.

Cleaning agents

Cleaning and conditioning agents used inside the appliance must be food safe.

To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:

• cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides,
• cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
• abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
• solvent-based cleaning agents,
• stainless steel cleaning agents,
  -dishwasher cleaner,
• oven sprays,
  glass cleaning agents,
• hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
  -dirt erasers,
  sharp metal scrapers.

To clean the stainless steel surfaces on the appliance, we recommend using the Miele Care product for stainless steel (see "Optional accessories").

This product contains substances that are gentle to stainless steel surfaces and, unlike stainless steel cleaners, it does not contain polishing agents.

Soiling is gently removed and each time the original Miele Care product for stainless steel is used, it applies a protective film against dirt and water.

We recommend using lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid to clean the appliance.

The following pages contain important information on cleaning.

Preparing the appliance for cleaning

Switch the appliance off.

The display goes dark and the cooling is switched off.

If this is not the case, the safety lock is on (see "Further settings - Switching the safety lock on/off").

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or switch off the mains circuit breaker.
  Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.
• Remove the door shelves and the bottle shelves from the door.
  Remove the compartment drawers and their lids from the PerfectFresh zone (see "Adjusting the interior fittings - PerfectFresh zone compartments").
  Remove the glass shelf from the dividing plate.
  Take out all other removable parts for cleaning.

Adjustable shelf / Adjustable shelf with lighting

The stainless steel strip with LED lighting or the stainless steel trim on the adjustable shelves is not dishwasher-safe.

The stainless steel strip with LED lighting must not be placed in water when cleaning it.

Proceed as follows to remove the stainless steel strip with LED lighting or the stainless steel strip and rear protective strip:

• Place the adjustable shelf on a soft surface (e.g. tea towel) with the top side facing downwards.

Warning! Ensure that you always loosen the side on which the contacts (metal discs) for the LED lighting are not located first.

• Grasp the plastic surround on the left-hand side of the stainless steel strip at the rearmost point.

• Pull the plastic surround away from the shelf and

• pull the strip off at the same time. Then do the same on the opposite side.
• Pull the protective strip off.
  After cleaning, reattach the stainless steel strip and the protective strip in reverse order.

Bottle and door shelves

The stainless steel trims on the bottle and door shelves are not dishwasher-safe.

To remove the stainless steel trim:

• Place the door/bottle shelf with the front side on the work surface.

Remove one end of the trim and pull it off the shelf. The entire stainless steel trim will then come off the shelf.
After cleaning, reattach the stainless steel trim in reverse order.

Cleaning the interior and accessories

Clean the appliance at least once a month.

Clean up any spills, stains or food immediately. Do not allow them to dry and stick to the appliance.

Clean the interior with a clean sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

The stainless steel trim on the bottle or door shelves is not suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. Remove the stainless steel trim and strips before putting the shelves into the dishwasher.

The following parts cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher:

• the stainless steel trims or strips
• the protective strips at the back of the adjustable shelves
• all drawers and drawer lids (depending on model)
• the bottle rack
  Clean these parts by hand.

The following parts are dishwasher-safe:

The maximum temperature of the dishwashing programme selected must not exceed 55^ C .

Contact with natural dyes from carrots, tomatoes and ketchup may discolour the plastic parts in the dishwasher. This discolouration does not affect the stability of the parts.

• the bottle holder, butter dish, egg tray (included depending on model)
• the bottle and door shelves in the inner door (without stainless steel trim)
• the adjustable shelves (with the trim and strips removed)

Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently so that condensate can drain away unhindered. Use a straw or similar to clear the drain if necessary.

To do this, remove the PerfectFresh zone drawers.

Be careful not to wash out the special lubricant in the telescopic runners during cleaning.

The Perfect Fresh zone drawers sit on telescopic runners. Wipe the telescopic runners with a damp cloth to clean them.
- Remove any soiling on stainless steel trims and strips with the Miele Care product for stainless steel.

Useful tip: Always apply this care product after cleaning to protect stainless steel surfaces and prevent re-soiling.

• Leave the door open to air the appliance for a short while and to prevent odours building up.

Cleaning the door seals

If a door seal is damaged or if it has come out of the groove, the door will not close properly and cooling performance will be reduced.

Condensate will build up in the interior and this can cause a build-up of ice.

Do not damage the door seals and ensure that they do not come out of their groove.

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.

The door seals should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the air vents

A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (you could use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting brush, for example). A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

Starting up the appliance after cleaning

• Refit all shelves and accessories in the appliance.
• Reconnect to the mains and switch the appliance back on.
• Switch on the SuperCool function for a while so that the refrigerator section can cool down quickly.
  Place food back in the refrigerator section and close the door.

Replacing the charcoal filters

Charcoal filters and a KKF-FF (Active AirClean) holder are available as optional accessories (see "Guide to the appliance - Optional accessories").

Replace the charcoal filters in the holder every 6 months.

Replacement KKF-RF charcoal filters are available from Miele or via the internet at shop.miele.com.

Useful tip: The holder for the charcoal filters is dishwasher-safe.

Pull the charcoal filter holder upwards to remove it from the shelf.

When in position the charcoal filters must not touch the back wall of the appliance as the moisture could cause them to stick to the back wall. Insert the new charcoal filters into the holder so that they do not protrude over the edge of the holder.

• Remove both charcoal filters and place the new filters with the raised edge pointing downwards in the holder.

• Place the holder in the middle of the raised edge at the back of the shelf so that it clicks into position.

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single phase 220 - 240 V 50 Hz supply.

The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.

The voltage and frequency are given on the data plate. Please ensure that these match the household mains supply. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible. For extra safety it is advisable to install a suitable residual current device (RCD).

The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured in order to be able to quickly separate the appliance from the mains.

If the mains socket is not accessible after the appliance has been built in, a separator for each terminal must be present. There must be an all-pole contact gap of 3mm in the switch.

The plug and mains connection cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This, in turn, could result in a short circuit.

Nor should other appliances be plugged into a socket located directly behind this appliance.

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).

Do not connect the appliance to an inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch-off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The appliance must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.

If the mains connection cable needs to be replaced, this must be done by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Side-by-side units

The appliance has two side-wall heaters encased in foam and can be installed side-by-side with other appliances. Each appliance must be installed in its own housing unit.

Please contact Miele for information on which combinations are suitable for your appliance.

Risk of injury and damage!

This appliance must be built in, otherwise it could tip over. To avoid a hazard, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.

Keep the appliance door(s) shut until the appliance has been built in and secured in its housing in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

Fire risk and danger of damage!

This refrigeration appliance must not be installed underneath a cooktop.

Location

This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room.

When deciding where to install your refrigerator please bear in mind that it will use more energy if installed near a heater, cooktop or other appliance that gives off heat. Direct sunlight should also be avoided.

The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor will run and the higher the energy consumption will be.

When installing the appliance, please note:

• The mains socket must not be located directly behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.
• The plug and cable must not touch the rear of the appliance as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.
• Nor should other appliances be plugged into a socket located directly behind this appliance.

Risk of damage!

In environments with high humidity

condensation can build up on the exterior of the appliance. This condensate can cause corrosion of the appliance walls.

For prevention, it is advisable to install the appliance with sufficient ventilation in a dry and/or air conditioned room.

After installation please ensure that the appliance doors close properly, the ventilation gaps are not covered and that the appliance has been installed in accordance with these installation instructions.

Climate range

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (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.

Climate range	Ambient room temperature
SN	+10 to +32 °C
N	+16 to +32 °C
ST	+16 to +38 °C
T	+16 to +43 °C

Operating in a room which is too cold will result in the compressor switching off for too long, causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.

Ventilation

If the required ventilation gaps are not adhered to, the compressor will switch on more often and run for longer.

This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature of the compressor. This, in turn, may cause damage to the compressor.

It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps.

Air at the back of the appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see "Building-in dimensions").

• Air intake ① occurs via the plinth at the bottom of the appliance and the air escapes at the top ② at the back of the housing unit.

• A ventilation gap of at least 40 ~mm depth must be allowed for behind the appliance for air to circulate.

• The ventilation gaps in the plinth, housing unit and above the appliance must amount to a free airflow of at least 200~cm^2 to ensure that air can circulate without hindrance.

If ventilation grilles are to be inserted into the ventilation gaps, the ventilation gaps must be larger than 200~cm^2 . The unobstructed airflow of 200~cm^2 is calculated by adding up the total area of ventilation openings in the grilles.

• Important! The larger the ventilation gaps, the less energy the appliance will use.

The air inlet and outlet must not be covered or blocked in any way. They must also be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust.

Top ventilation cross-section

The top ventilation cross-section can be achieved in various ways:

(1) directly above the appliance with a ventilation grille (free airflow of at least 200 cm^2 )
(2) between the kitchen furniture and the ceiling
③ in a suspended ceiling

Furniture door

Horizontal and vertical gaps

The thickness and edge radius of the furniture door and the gap that runs around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified depending on the style of kitchen furniture.

It is essential to pay attention to the following:

- Horizontal gap

The gap between the furniture door and the kitchen unit door above or below, respectively, must be at least 3mm

- Vertical gap

If the gap between the appliance furniture door and the adjoining housing unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing unit door or wall when opened.

It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the thickness and edge radius of the appliance furniture door.

This must be taken into consideration when planning your kitchen and when replacing an old appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.

Appliance furniture door thickness A [mm]	Gap X [mm] for different edge radii B

Useful tip: Fit a spacer between the housing unit body and the side wall. This way you will get a sufficiently wide gap.

Weight of the furniture door

If the door panel is too heavy, this can cause damage!

Fitting a furniture door panel which is heavier than the maximum permitted weight could damage the hinges.

This can cause subsequent functional problems.

Before fitting furniture doors, ensure that the weight of the door does not exceed the maximum weight permitted:

Before installing the appliance

Take the accessory pack which includes installation parts and other accessories out of the appliance and remove the packaging strap holding the door in place.
- Do not remove the following from the rear of the appliance:

• The spacers (depending on model). These ensure that the gap required between the back of the appliance and the wall is maintained.
• The bags (depending on model) located inside the metal grille (heat exchanger). These are important for the correct functioning of the appliance. Their contents are non-toxic and not dangerous.
• Remove any cable clips from the back of the appliance.
• Check that all parts at the back of the appliance are unhindered. Carefully remove any hindrance.

• Open the appliance door and remove the red transport clips (depending on model).

Does your old appliance have a different hinging mechanism?

If your old appliance had a different type of hinging, the furniture door can still be used. Remove the old hinges from the housing unit. They are no longer required because the furniture door will now be fitted to the appliance door. All the necessary parts are supplied or can be ordered from Miele.

Stainless steel front

(dependently on model)

If your old appliance had different hinging and you cannot or do not wish to use your old door, you can use a stainless steel front instead.

Call Miele for information on suitable stainless steel fronts.

• The declared energy consumption was calculated in a 560 mm deep niche. The appliance is fully functional in a 550 mm niche but the energy consumption will be slightly higher.

Before installation, ensure the building-in niche matches the required dimensions. The required ventilation gaps must be adhered to in order to ensure the correct functioning of the appliance.

The door hinges are set at the factory to enable the door to be opened wide.

If the opening angle of the door needs to be limited for any reason, the hinge can be adjusted to accommodate this.

If the appliance door hits an adjacent wall when opened, for example, the opening angle can be limited to 90^ .

The locking pins for limiting the door opening must be fitted before the appliance is installed.

• Place the locking pins supplied for limiting the door opening into the hinges from above.

The door opening angle is now limited to 90^ .

Changing the door hinging

Always change the door hinging with the assistance of another person.

The appliance is supplied with right-hand hinging. If left-hand hinging is required, the hinges must be changed.

To change the door hinging, you will need the following tools:

Open the appliance door.
- Remove the adjustable shelves/bottle shelf from the appliance door.

Lift off covers ①, ② and ③.

Slightly loosen screws ④ and ⑤ on the hinges.
Push the door ⑥ outwards and take it off its hinges.

Unscrew the screws ④ completely.
- Place the fixing element ⑦ on the opposite side and loosely screw in the screws ④ .
- Unscrew the screws ⑤ completely and loosely screw them in on the opposite side.

If you have fitted the locking pins in the top of the hinges to prevent the doors opening too far:

Remove the locking pins from the top of the hinges.

Removing the soft-close mechanism

Warning! The soft-close mechanism snaps shut when dismantled. Danger of injury!

Place the door with the outer side downwards on a stable surface.

Remove the soft-close mechanism ⑧ from the ball joint.
■ Unscrew the mounting ⑨ and remove the soft-close mechanism ⑧ .

• Unscrew the ball joint ⑩ and screw it into the adjacent hole.
  Now turn over the appliance door so that the outer side faces upwards (hinges remain open).

Danger of injury!

Do not close the hinges.

Undo the screws ①.
Place each hinge on the diagonally opposite side 12

Securing the soft-close mechanism

Now turn over the appliance door so that the outer side faces downwards.

Screw the mounting ⑨ onto the hinge and tighten securely.
- Open out the soft-close mechanism ⑧ and hook it onto the ball joint.

• Hang the appliance door ⑥ onto the pre-fitted screws ④ and ⑤ , and securely tighten the screws ④ and ⑤ .
  Replace covers ①, ② and ③.

• Refit the locking pins in the top of the hinges to prevent the doors opening too far.

Two people are required for installing the appliance.

Install the appliance in a stable, solid housing unit, positioned on an even and level floor.
- Secure the housing unit against tipping.

Use a spirit level to align the housing unit. The corners of the housing unit must be at a 90^ angle to each other, otherwise the furniture door will not align correctly with all 4 corners of the housing unit.
The required ventilation cross-sections must be observed (see "Installation advice - Ventilation" and "Building-in dimensions").

To install the appliance, you will need the following tools:

Parts required for installation

All installation parts are number coded. This coding is also used in the installation instructions.

- Required for installing the appliance in its housing unit:

• These parts are only supplied with appliances with a niche height of 140 cm or more.

** Number depending on niche height, max. number from a niche height of 140 cm (also contains additional installation parts for fitting large or divided furniture doors).

- for mounting the appliance doors:

** Number depending on niche height. Also contains additional installation parts for fitting large or divided furniture doors.

All fitting instructions given are for a right-hand hinged appliance. If you have converted the appliance to left hand hinging you will need to adapt these instructions accordingly.

Preparing the appliance

Position the appliance in front of the housing unit.

• Slide the cover strip ① into the holders from the front as shown.

Screw the fixing brackets ④ into the pre-drilled holes in the appliance door using the hex screws ⑤ .
- Secure a second pair of fixing brackets ④ in the handle area of the door. Use the pre-drilled holes in the appliance door.
Push the appliance about two thirds of the way into the building-in niche. When pushing the appliance into its niche make sure that the mains cable does not get trapped.

Useful tip: To help you push it into position, tie a piece of string around the plug to "increase" the length of the connection cable.

Then pull the cable by the end of the string through the housing unit. This way it will be easier to connect it once the appliance is in the unit.

With 16 mm thick unit walls:

• Clip the spacers ② and ③ on the right-hand side of the hinges.
  Open the appliance door.

Remove the cover 6.
- Secure the securing plate ⑦ with the screws ⑧ loosely into the top left-hand side of the appliance. Do not tighten the screws so that you can adjust the position of this part.
Fit the cover ⑨ onto the fixing bracket ⑩.
Screw the fixing bracket 10 loosely into the bottom of the appliance with the screws 11. Do not tighten the screws so that you can adjust the position of this part.

Carefully remove the protective foil from the sealing strip 13.
Fix the sealing strip ⑬ flush with the front of the appliance on the door opening side.

1. Position the sealing strip flush with the lower edge of the top fixing.
2. Stick it down along its entire length.

Installing the appliance

If the appliance is pushed too far into the niche, the doors may not close properly once the furniture doors have been fitted. This can cause ice to build up, condensate to accumulate and lead to faults in the appliance. These can all lead to increased energy consumption. Push the appliance into the building-in niche making sure a gap of 42mm is maintained all round between the appliance body and the front of the housing unit side walls.

Push the appliance into the niche until all fixing brackets at the top and bottom are in line with the front edge of the housing unit side wall.

This will create a gap all round of 42mm to the front edges of the housing unit side walls.

• ④ With 16 mm thick walls:

The spacers should touch the front edge of the housing unit side walls at the top and bottom.

• ⑤ With 19 mm thick walls:

The front edges of the top and bottom hinges should be flush with the front edge of the housing side wall.

On furniture with door fittings (e.g. stubs, seals etc.):

the dimension of these must be taken into account when making sure there is a gap all round of 42 ~mm .

Pull the appliance forwards by the appropriate dimension.
- Check again, to make sure there is a gap of 42 ~mm to the front edges of the door fittings.

Useful tip: If possible, remove door fittings and push the appliance into the niche until all fixing brackets at the top and bottom are in line with the front edge of the housing unit side wall.

Align the appliance on both sides by altering the adjustable feet using the spanner supplied.

Securing the appliance in the niche

Press the appliance against the side of the housing unit on the hinge side.
Screw chipboard screws through the hinge plates at the top and bottom and then the middle to secure the appliance to the housing unit.

• Push the loose-fitting fixing bracket against the side wall.
  Screw the fixing bracket to the housing unit side wall with the screw. Pre-drill the hole in the housing unit if necessary.
• Secure the fixing bracket ⑦ to the housing unit side walls using the screws ② 0 . Drill holes in the housing unit side walls if necessary. Important: Push the protruding bracket using your thumb towards the housing unit wall whilst tightening the screws. The appliance must not pull back into the unit.
  Then tighten the screws ⑧ and ①

Break off the ends of the brackets and dispose of them. They are no longer needed.
- Attach the respective covers ⑥ and ② 1 to the fixing brackets.

Only for an appliance with a niche height greater than 140 cm

For additional stability of the appliance in the unit, push the rods supplied in underneath the appliance between it and the floor of the housing unit:

■ First secure the handle 22 to one of the rods 23.
- Use the handle to push the rod into the guide as far as it will go. Remove the handle and fit it to the other rod and push this into its guide as far as it will go.

Important: Keep the handle somewhere safe in case you ever need to fit the appliance into a new housing unit.

Close the appliance door.

Fitting a furniture door

If the appliance is being built into a run of units, the height of the furniture door should be aligned with adjacent kitchen units.

The furniture door must be mounted plane and free of tension.

The following chapter describes the installation of a furniture door with a furniture front of at least 16-19 mm thickness.

A gap of 8mm is set at the factory between the appliance door and the fixing bracket. Double-check this gap and adjust it if necessary.
Push the fitting aids ② up to the height of the furniture door: the lower edge X of the fitting aids must be at the same height as the upper edge of the furniture door being fitted (see ▲ in diagram).

Useful tip: Push up the fitting aids ② with the furniture front until they are the same height as the doors of adjacent kitchen units.

• Undo the nuts ③ and take the fixing bracket ④ off together with the fitting aids ② .

Place the furniture door with the outer side downwards on a stable surface.

Using a pencil, lightly mark a line down the centre of the inside of the furniture door 5.
- Hang the fixing bracket ④ with the fitting aids onto the inside of the furniture door. Align the fixing bracket centrally.
- Attach the fixing bracket securely using at least 6 short chipboard screws ⑥ . (On cassette doors only use 4 screws on the edges). Drill pilot holes into the furniture door if necessary.
Pull the fitting aids upwards to remove them ⑦ - Turn them around and fit them into the middle slots on the fixing bracket for safe keeping.

Fit the side cover ⑦ to the fixing bracket on the opposite side of the hinge.
Turn the furniture door over and attach the handle (if needed).

Open the appliance door.

• Hang the furniture door onto the adjusting bolts ⑧ .
• Loosely attach the nuts ③ on the adjusting bolts.
• Close the door and check the distance between the door and neighbouring furniture doors. The distance should be the same.

Adjusting the position of the door

Adjustment to the sides (X)

Move the furniture door.

Height adjustment (Y)

Use a spanner to adjust bolts 8.

The distance between the appliance door and the fixing bracket is set to 8mm at the factory. Adjust this distance only within the dimensions given in the diagram.

• Whilst counterholding adjusting bolts ⑧ with a screwdriver, tighten nuts ③ on the appliance door with the ring spanner ⑩ .
  The cover strip ① must be completely hidden in the niche, and must not protrude.

• Drill fixing holes ⑫ in the furniture door and screw in the screws ⑬ . Make sure the two metal edges are aligned (Symbol //).
• Close the appliance door and the furniture door.

Adjusting the depth (Z)

• Loosen the screws ⑨ at the top of the appliance door and the screw ⑭ on the lower fixing bracket. Move the furniture door to create a gap of 2 mm between the furniture door and the housing unit.

Tighten all screws again.

Fit the top cover 15, and click it into place.

Fit the side covers ⑥ making sure they click into place.

To make sure the appliance is correctly fitted:

• The door must close properly.
• The door must not touch the housing unit.
• The seal at the top edge of the handle side must fit properly.
• To double check, place a torch in the appliance and close the door. Switch the lights off in the room. If you can see any light shining out from the sides, double check the installation.
