Technical safety
 The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. The wine con-
ditioning unit complies with statutory safety requirements and the
appropriate EU directives.
 This wine conditioning unit contains the coolant Isobutane
(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. The coolant
does not damage the ozone layer and does not contribute to 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 com-
pressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the
cooling circuit. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided, but it does not
affect the performance of the wine conditioning unit.
When transporting and installing the wine conditioning unit, ensure
that no parts of the cooling circuit are damaged. Splashes of coolant
can damage the eyes.
In the event of damage:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the wine conditioning unit from the mains electricity
supply.
- Ventilate the room where the wine conditioning unit is located for
several minutes.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
 The more coolant there is in a wine conditioning unit, the larger
the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the ap-
pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every 11 g of coolant at least 1m
3
of room space is
required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the wine conditioning unit.
