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