This appliance must be built in,
otherwise it could tip up.
Location
The appliance should be installed in a dry,
well-ventilated room.
The room temperature should not go
above or below the climate range for
which the appliance is designed.
The higher the ambient temperature of the
room, the more energy the appliance
requires to operate.
It should not be installed where it is
exposed to direct sunlight or directly
adjacent to a heat-producing appliance
such as an oven or a radiator.
Important: tropical / humid
environments
During periods of high humidity, some
condensation may appear on outside
surfaces of cooling appliances. This
condensation will disappear when
humidity levels drop. For prevention, it
is advisable to install the appliance with
sufficient ventilation in a dry and/or an
air-conditioned room.
Please ensure that doors are closing
and sealing properly.
Please ensure that the appliance is
installed in accordance with these
installation instructions and that the
handle is fitted correctly. Should you
require further assistance please
contact your Miele customer service
centre.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use within
certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data plate
inside the appliance.

Operating in a room which is too cold will
result in the cooling system switching off
for too long, causing the internal
temperature in the appliance to rise with
the risk of frozen food deteriorating and
going off.
Ventilation
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. The appliance housing unit must be
constructed to allow sufficient space for
ventilation.
A ventilation gap of at least 38 mm depth
must be allowed for behind the appliance
for air to circulate. The air inlet to the
appliance is via the plinth in the housing
unit.
The cross-section of the air inlet and outlet
must be at least 200 cm
2
to ensure that air
can circulate without hindrance. Otherwise
the appliance has to work harder, resulting
in an increase in electricity consumption.
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.
