  • Page 8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety with children  To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or near the appliance.  Risk of death. Please bear in mind that by removing the dividing panel in the large freezer basket, children may be tempted to climb inside.
  • Page 9 - Disconnect the refrigeration appliance from the power supply. - Ventilate the room where the refrigeration appliance is located for several minutes. - Contact Miele Customer Service.  The more coolant there is in a refrigeration appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the ap- pliance is in a small room, there is the danger of a combustible gas/ air mixture building up.
  • Page 10  If the power cord supplied is damaged, it must only be replaced by an original part to prevent a hazard for the user. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are used.
  • Page 11 Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.  Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by a faulty con- nection to the fresh water supply.  The ice cube maker must only be connected to a cold water line.
  • Page 12 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use  The refrigeration appliance is designed for use within a specific climate class (room temperature range). Do not use in a climate class for which it is not designed. A lower room temperature will cause the compressor to switch off for longer periods, meaning that the refrig- eration appliance is unable to maintain the required temperature.
  • Page 13 Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage in- structions.  Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
  • Page 14 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance  Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals. They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.  Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
  • Page 15 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Transport  To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport it upright and in its packaging.  Risk of injury and damage. The refrigeration appliance is very heavy and must be transported by 2 people. Disposal of your old appliance ...
