Warning and Safety instructions

6

 

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 green-
house 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 com-
pressor, 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
coolant can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:

– avoid naked 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

– contact the Miele Service Department.

 

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 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 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.

 

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
