Switching on and off Before using for the first time Operating the appliance Packaging material A light touch of the finger on the sensors is all that is required to operate this appliance. Remove all packaging material from the inside of the appliance. Removing the protective film The stainless steel trim on the door shelves and adjustable shelves has a layer of protective film to prevent damage during transportation.
Switching on and off Switching off Touch the On/Off sensor. The temperature display will go out. If this is does not happen, the safety lock is still activated (see “Selecting further settings - To activate/deactivate the lock”). The cooling system will be switched off. Switching off for longer periods of time If, during a long absence, the refrigeration appliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door(s) left shut, there is a risk of mould forming inside the appliance.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The correct temperature Setting the temperature The two sensors next to the display are used for setting the temperature. Touch this sensor to lower the temperature. Tip: 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, as it will take this long for the appliance to give an accurate reading.
Using Super cool and DynaCool SuperCool function Switching off SuperCool The SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). The SuperCool function switches off automatically after approx. 6–12 hours. The SuperCool symbol will go out and the appliance will then continue to work at normal power. SuperCool is particularly recommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Using Super cool and DynaCool DynaCool function When the DynaCool function is not switched on, the natural circulation of air in the appliance will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest section of the appliance. You should bear this in mind when placing food in the appliance (see “Storing food in the refrigerator section”).
Door alarm An alarm will sound if the appliance door has been left open for longer than 60 seconds. It will stop as soon as the door is closed. Switching the door alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off if you wish. Touch the sensor for switching off the door alarm. The alarm will stop.

The MENU symbol will appear in the display and a will start flashing. Touch the SuperCool button again.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Risk of explosion due to flam- Different storage zones mable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Coldest area The coldest area in the refrigerator section is directly above the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of the appliance. Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section - Cold cuts, ready meals Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C, because it may be sensitive to cold.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Notes on buying food Storing food correctly The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum. Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is covered or wrapped properly.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. Adjusting the door shelf/bottle shelf Tip: Only move door shelves/bottle shelves in the appliance door when they are empty. Push the door shelf/bottle shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. 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.
Adjusting the interior fittings Adjusting the bottle rack Removing and replacing the fruit and vegetable drawer The fruit and vegetable drawer sits on telescopic runners and can be removed for loading and unloading, or cleaning. Pull out the drawer as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Risk of damage as a result of inThe bottle rack can be placed at different positions in the appliance.
Defrosting Refrigerator section The refrigerator section defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor. The condensate drains through a channel and drain pipe into an evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this.
Cleaning and care Do not let water get into the electronic module or the lighting. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and and electrical components. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance. Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole. The data plate located inside the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a fault.
Cleaning and care Preparing the appliance for cleaning Switch the appliance off. The temperature shown in the display will go out and the cooling system switches off. Dismantling an adjustable shelf Before cleaning the shelf remove the stainless steel trim at the front and the protective strip at the back of the shelf. To do this: Place the shelf on a worktop covered with a soft material (e.g. a tea towel). Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.
Cleaning and care The stainless steel parts on the shelves are not dishwasher safe. Remove the trim before placing the shelves in the dishwasher. Leave the door open to air the appliance for a short while and to prevent odours building up. The following parts cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher: - the stainless steel trim - the protective strips at the back of the adjustable shelves - all drawers and the compartment lid (depending on model) - the bottle rack These accessories should all be hand washed.
Cleaning and care - the holder for the charcoal filter (available as an optional accessory) Cleaning the front of the appliance and the side panels Do not use Miele stainless steel conditioning agent on these surfaces. This will cause noticeable smearing. If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove. Surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage. Therefore, it is best to remove soiling from the appliance front and side panels immediately.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the ventilation gaps 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). Cleaning the compressor and metal grille at the back of the appliance A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door seal If the door seal is damaged or has slipped out of its groove, the appliance door may not close properly and cooling performance will be reduced. As a result, condensate will build up in the interior cabinet and this can cause a build-up of ice. Do not damage the door seal and ensure it does not slip out of its groove. Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning. If you treat the door seal with oils or grease, it can become porous.
