Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance
complies with all current local and national safety requirements.
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 has a lower greenhouse effect
than some other refrigerants.
The use of this coolant, however, leads 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 any flames or anything which creates a spark,
– disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply,
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
– call Miele.
The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger
the room should be in which it is installed. In the event of a leakage,
if the appliance is in a small room, there is a 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 a 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.
