Warning and Safety instructions

 Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage instruc-

tions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times

will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of

the food, as well as the temperature at which it is stored.

 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with

this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-

facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liab-

ility.

Cleaning and care

 Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will

cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this ap-

pliance.

Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-

ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or

pointed objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.

 Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to de-

frost it. These can damage the plastic parts.

 Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain

substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might

cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

 Rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes:

– before using for the first time,

– if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time,

– regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month), to re-

move ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the

water supply) and
