Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
Do not use any oils or grease on
the door seals, as these will cause
the seals to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
Do not attempt to remove the
lighting covers inside the
refrigerator door. If damaged, they
must be replaced by a Miele approved
service technician.
Never look directly into the
glass-edge lighting in the
refrigerator without the glass shelves in
place and do not use optical
instruments to look at it either!
Caution:
there are lasers in the lighting (laser
beam class 1M).
Never install damaged glass-edge
lighting in the appliance.
Danger of electric shock.
Do not use force to open the
glass-edge lighting. This will
damage the internal electronics. If the
glass-edge lighting gets damaged, it
must be replaced. New glass-edge
lighting may be purchased from the
Miele Service Department.
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the appliance as this would impair
the efficiency of the appliance, increase
the electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges
(ambient temperatures), and should not
be used outside this range. The climate
range for your appliance is stated on
the data plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
