Warning and Safety Instructions

~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 deteriorate and become porous over time.

~Do not store cooking oil in the refrigerator door. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks in the plastic components in the door.

~Do not attempt to remove the lighting covers inside the refrigerator door. If damaged, they must be replaced by a Miele-approved service technician.

~Never look directly into the

glass-edge lighting in the refrigerator without the glass shelves in place; never use optical instruments to look at the lighting either! Caution! there are lasers in the lighting (laser beam class 1M).

~Never install damaged glass-edge lighting in the appliance.

Danger of electric shock.

~Do not use force to open the glass-edge lighting. This will damage the internal electronics. If the glass-edge lighting gets damaged, it must be replaced. New glass-edge lighting can be purchased from the Miele Service Department.

~Do not block the ventilation slits in the appliance, 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., in a garage, can cause the appliance to switch off for longer periods, keeping it from maintaining the required temperature.

equipment to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~In areas 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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
