Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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.
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
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.
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.

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 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 damage and deterioration of the items stored
The appliance is also not suitable for use in areas susceptible to
explosion.
Miele cannot accept responsibility for any damage resulting from
such misuse 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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
~
corresponds to the relevant 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. 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 electricity supply.
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
– contact the Service Department for advice.

Warning and Safety instructions
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 before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply. 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 most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
~
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not use in a damp environment (e.g. garage or utility room).
~
Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection
and cause a short circuit.

Temperature and air quality
Wine keeps on maturing depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
Type of wine
Recommended
drinking
temperature
Light, fruity reds: +14 °C to +16 °C
Full-bodied reds: +18 °C
The wine conditioning unit with its
constant ideal temperature, increased
air humidity and odour free atmosphere
offers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
Rosé wines:
+8 °C to +10 °C
+8 °C to +12 °C
Delicate,
aromatic whites:
Full-bodied or
sweet whites:
+12 °C to +14 °C
+6 °C to +10 °C
It also guarantees a vibration-free
environment so that the maturing
process is not disturbed.
Champagne,
sparkling white
wines:
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 6°C and 18°C. If you are
storing white and red wines together,
select a temperature between 12 and
14 °C. This is suitable for both red and
white wines.
Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2 °C cooler
than the recommended drinking
temperature as it warms up a little when
poured into the glass.
Full-bodied reds should be opened for
2 - 3 hours before drinking to allow it to
breathe and develop its aroma.
At too high a temperature (over 22°C),
wine matures too quickly, which
prevents the aromas from developing
further. Wine cannot mature fully at too
low a temperature (below 5°C).
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important
to maintain a constant temperature.

display when the sensors are touched:
Temperature display
– Touching a sensor once:
The last set temperature flashes in
the display.
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the actual temperature in
the zone.
– Each subsequent touch of a sensor:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
If the temperature in one of the zones is
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display, only bars will light up
in the temperature display.
– Leaving a finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously. An audible tone
sounds (if switched on) when the
lowest or highest possible
temperature is reached.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the setting, it can take the
appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this
temperature to then be shown as a
constant temperature in the display.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the sensor, the current actual
temperature of the zone is automatically
shown.
When the temperature is altered, there
is a short delay until the temperature
selected is set.
The temperature display on the
control panel always shows the
actual temperature.

A conventional refrigerator with its low
humidity level is not the best place to
store wine. It is very important to store
wine in an atmosphere with a high
humidity level so that the corks remain
moist on the outside. Low humidity
causes corks to dry out from the
Dynamic cooling raises the relative
humidity inside the appliance, Dynamic

Temperature and air quality
Switching off Dynamic cooling
The appliance uses slightly more
energy and is a little noisier when the
dynamic cooling function is switched
on. You can switch it off now and then if
you wish.
^ Touch the Constant humidity
(Dynamic cooling) sensor so that it is

Air filtering with active charcoal
filters
The active charcoal filters achieve
optimum air quality by filtering the
incoming air.
Fresh air from the outside enters the
appliance via the active charcoal filters.
The dynamic cooling system then
distributes the air evenly throughout the
cabinet.
Filtering the incoming air through the
active charcoal filters ensures that all
the air entering the appliance is fresh
and free from dust and smells. This in
turn ensures your wine does not absorb
any unwanted odours.
Replace the active charcoal filters when
the — indicator appears in the display
(see "Active charcoal filter").

Cleaning and care
^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth, and
dry with a soft cloth. Leave the door
open to air the appliance for a short
while.
Ventilation gaps
^ The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
^ Use Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent (see "Optional accessories") to
clean and care for the stainless steel
surfaces on the inside and outside of
the appliance. Unlike stainless steel
cleaning agents, the conditioning
agent does not contain any abrasive
substances and will gently remove
soiling. Each time it is used, it forms
a water and dirt repellent protective
coating.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
^ The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
^ Make sure you treat the exterior
stainless steel surfaces with Miele
stainless steel conditioning agent
each time you clean them.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
This will give them a water and dirt
repellent protective coating and help
prevent re-soiling.
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) must be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
^ Clean the appliance door with a
proprietary glass cleaner.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^ Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
^ Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
