Installation

This appliance is top-heavy and
must be secured to prevent the
possibility of tipping forward.
Keep the door closed until the
appliance is completely installed
and secured per installation
instructions.

~

This appliance must be installed

and connected in compliance with the
installation instructions.

~

Installation and repair work should

be performed by a Miele authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and may
void the warranty.

~

Installation must comply with local

plumbing regulations and state laws.

~

Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or if the
appliance has been damaged in any
manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Ser-
vice Department.

~

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft.

~

Do not install the freezer in a room

with too low an ambient temperature,
e.g., a garage, as this may lead to the
appliance switching off for longer
periods so that it cannot maintain the
required temperature.

~

In appliances with an automatic ice

maker, avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element located on the
bottom of the ice maker. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the freezer is
plugged in.

~

The ice cube maker is not suitable

for connection to a hot water supply.

~

Do not use water that is

microbiologically or chemically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection or other treatment before or
after the filter is used; the filter alone is
not an adequate safeguard.

Use

~

Persons who lack physical, sensory

or mental abilities, or experience with
the machine should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a
responsible person.

~

To reduce the risk of injury, do not

allow children to play in, on or near the
appliance, especially in the door hinge
area.

~

After your freezer is in operation, do

not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.

~

Do not refreeze frozen foods which

have thawed completely.
