Warning and Safety Instructions

Technical safety

~Before setting up the appliance, check it for any external damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance.

A damaged appliance may endanger your safety!

~If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

~This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas that is environmentally friendly but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this environmentally friendly 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 through the system. This is unavoidable, but does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.

Ensure that no parts of the cooling system are damaged during transportation and setting up of the appliance. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes!

In the event of damage:

- avoid open fires and any ignition sources,

- pull out the plug,

- air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

- contact Customer Service.

~The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If a leak occurs, combustible gases may build up if the appliance is in too small a room.

For every 8 g of coolant in the

appliance, the room must be at least

1m3 in size. 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 installation and operating instructions.

~Before plugging in the appliance, make sure that the connection data (voltage and frequency) indicated on the data plate corresponds with the electrical supply.

These data must match in order to avoid damaging the appliance. If in doubt, please contact a qualified electrician.

~Do not connect the appliance to the power supply by an extension cord or power bar, as they do not guarantee the required safety (risk of overheating, for example).
