IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

~

Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the appliance.

~

Children ages eight and up may only use the appliance oven without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner, and if they are able to recognize and understand the potential risks of improper use.

~

Children must not clean or service the appliance unless they are under supervision.

~

Children should be supervised when they are near the appliance. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with it or to use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

~

Ensure that any packing material is disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!

Technical safety

~

The coolant system is tested for leaks.

~

This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase 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 compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.

Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking refrigerant can damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

– avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,

– disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply,

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

– contact Miele Technical Service.

6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~

The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.

For every 8 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 appliance.

~

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the household supply.

Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

~

Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

~

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in order to protect the user from harm.

~

Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

~

Do not use the appliance in areas where there may be moisture or splashing water (e.g. garages, laundry rooms, etc.).

Moisture can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~

This appliance is not to be used in non-stationary locations, such as ships.

~

Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage.

~

7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~

Defective components should only be replaced by Miele original parts.

Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

~

Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream maker) inside the appliance.

Danger of sparking and explosion!

~

Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

Proper use

~

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate range (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. a garage, will lead to the appliance turning off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

~

Do not cover or block the air vents.

This can impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and cause damage to the appliance.

~

WARNING! Danger of damage from overheating. May restirct operation.

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

~

If you store fatty or greasy foods in the appliance or the appliance door, make sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the plastic parts of the appliance.

This can cause the plastic to crack and break.

~

Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components could cause flammable vapors to ignite.

Danger of fire and explosion.

8

Cleaning and care

~

Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.

They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.

~

WARNING! Risk of injury and damage. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

~

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Temperature and air quality

Wine keeps on maturing depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time for which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality.

The wine conditioning unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odor-free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine.

It also guarantees a vibration-free environment so that the maturing process is not disturbed.

Type of wine

Light, fruity red wines:

Full-bodied red wines:

Rosé wines:

Recommended drinking temperature

+57°F to +61°F

(14°C to 16°C)

+64°F

(18°C)

+46.4°F to +50°F

(8°C to 10°C)

+46°F to +54°F

(8°C to 12°C)

Temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature between 43°F and 64°F (6°C and

18°C). If you are storing white and red wines together, select a temperature between 54°F and 57°F (12°C and

14°C). This is suitable for both red and white wines.

At too high a temperature (over

72°F (22°C)), wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below

41°F (5°C)).

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.

Delicate, aromatic white wines:

Full-bodied or sweet white wines:

Champagne, sparkling white wines:

+46°F to +57°F

(12°C to 14°C)

+43°F to +50°F

(6°C to 10°C)

Tip: Store the wine 3°F to 5°F (1°C to

2°C) degrees cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass.

A full-bodied red should be opened for

2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma.

21

Temperature and air quality

Safety device in case of low ambient temperatures

The appliance is equipped with a safety thermostat to protect your wine against a sharp drop in temperature. If the external temperature should drop below this level, a heater element turns on automatically to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible. If the ambient temperature continues to fall, the appliance switches itself off automatically.

Setting the temperature

^ Set the temperature using the two buttons underneath the display.

By touching the button:

– the temperature will get colder,

– the temperature will get warmer.

^ Tap the OK button to confirm your selection.

or

^ Wait approximately 5 seconds after the last press of the button.

22

Temperature and air quality

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

The following information shows in the display when the buttons are tapped:

– When first touched:

The last temperature selected flashes.

– Each subsequent touch of the button:

The temperature value adjusts in 1° steps.

– Keeping your finger on the button:

The temperature changes continuously.

Approximately 5 seconds after the last time a sensor button has been touched, the current temperature inside the appliance is automatically shown.

When the temperature is altered, there is a short delay until the temperature selected is set.

Possible setting values for the temperature

The temperature can be set between

41°F and 68°F (5°C and 20°C).

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature display shows the actual temperature in the appliance.

If the temperature in one of the zones is not within the range that the appliance is able to display, dashes will light up in the temperature display.

Depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature setting, it can take the appliance a few hours to reach the temperature required and for this temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature in the display.

The temperature display on the control panel always shows the

actual temperature.

23

Temperature and air quality

Air quality and humidity

A conventional refrigerator with its low humidity level is not the best place to store wine. It is very important to store wine in an atmosphere with a high humidity level so that the corks remain moist on the outside. Low humidity causes corks to dry out from the outside, and so do not seal the bottles as tightly. Wine should be stored lying down to keep the corks moist from the inside too. Air entering the bottle will inevitably spoil the wine.

DynaCool (constant humidity) m

DynaCool raises the relative humidity inside the appliance.

It also distributes the humidity and the temperature evenly around the interior so that you can store all your wine under the same excellent conditions.

This will create a stable climate in the unit which imitates that of a wine cellar.

Turning on DynaCool

If you would like to use the wine conditioning unit to store wine long term, we recommend that you keep the

DynaCool function turned on.

Do not introduce additional moisture into the air, e.g., by placing a bowl of water in the appliance, as this will lead to condensation on the interior walls, which can cause corrosion damage.

^ Tap the button for constant humidity until it lights up yellow.

Even if DynaCool has not been turned on, the fans in the appliance will come on automatically when the cooling system switches on to ensure your wine is kept in the optimum climate.

The fans automatically turn off when the door is open.

24

Turning off DynaCool

The appliance uses slightly more energy and is a little noisier when the

DynaCool function is turned on. You can turn it off occasionally if you wish.

Temperature and air quality

^ Tap the button for constant humidity until it no longer lights up yellow.

Air filtering with the active charcoal filter

The active charcoal filter achieves optimum air quality by filtering the incoming air.

Fresh air from the outside enters the appliance via the active charcoal filter.

The DynaCool system then distributes the air evenly throughout the unit via the fans.

Filtering the incoming air through the active charcoal filter ensures that all the air entering the appliance is fresh and free from dust and smells.

This in turn ensures your wine does not absorb any unwanted odors.

Replace the active charcoal filter when the

— indicator appears in the display

(see "Active charcoal filter").

25

Temperature and door alarm

The appliance is equipped with an alarm system so that the temperature cannot rise or fall unnoticed, thus possibly damaging the wine.

Turning off the acoustic alarm

If the acoustic alarm bothers you, it can be silenced.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature becomes too warm or too cold, the alarm symbol

; will flash in the display.

An acoustic alarm will also sound.

The audio and visual signals are triggered, for example:

– when the appliance is turned on and the temperature in a temperature zone deviates greatly from the set temperature,

– when too much warm ambient air enters the unit when bottles are being rearranged or taken out

– when a large number of bottles are stored for the first time

– in the event of a power failure

As soon as the reason for the alarm has been resolved, the acoustic alarm will stop and the alarm symbol ; will go out.

^ Tap the sensor button to turn off the temperature alarm.
