Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and should be recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

The correct temperature and humidity  
Wine keeps on maturing depending on  
Isolation shelf for thermal separation  
the surrounding conditions. The length  
of time for which wine can be kept in  
good condition will therefore depend on  
the temperature and air quality.  
The appliance has a fixed isolation  
shelf which divides the cabinet into two  
zones. The temperature for each zone  
can be set separately so that different  
wines (red and white) can be stored at  
their ideal temperature.  
Temperature  
Wine can be stored at a temperature  
between 5°C and 18°C. The optimum  
temperature is around 10-12°C. Most  
white wines can be consumed at this  
temperature. It is best to take red wine  
out of the wine conditioning unit about  
two hours before drinking. Open the  
wine to allow it to breathe and to  
develop its aroma. After two hours, red  
wine will be at the correct temperature  
for drinking.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperatures are set using the two  
buttons under the temperature  
displays.  
Press the  
+ button: to increase the temperature  
– button: to reduce the temperature  
If wine is stored at a temperature above  
22°C it will mature too quickly. Wine  
should not be stored below 5°C for a  
long period of time as it will not mature  
fully at this low temperature.  
The temperature being set will flash in  
the display.  
When pressing the buttons, the  
following information shows in the  
display:  
Fluctuations in temperature put wine  
under stress and interrupt the maturing  
process. It is therefore very important to  
maintain a constant temperature.  
– When first pressed, the last  
temperature selected flashes.  
Safety features  
– Each subsequent press of the button  
adjusts the temperature shown in  
1 °C steps.  
A thermostat prevents the temperature  
in the wine conditioning unit falling too  
low. Internal heating automatically  
switches on to keep the temperature  
inside as constant as possible.  
– Keeping the button pressed in  
adjusts the temperature continually.  
13  
 
The correct temperature and humidity  
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of  
the button, the current temperature  
inside the applicable zone is  
automatically shown.  
Temperature display brightness  
The appliance is supplied with the  
brightness of the temperature display  
set as low as possible.  
The two temperature zones are cooled  
alternately, which means that  
You can adjust the brightness of the  
temperature display (both temperature  
displays will be adjusted together):  
depending on the quantity of wine  
being stored, it can take several hours  
for the required temperature to be  
reached, and for the temperature  
display to adjust. If, after this time, the  
temperature is still too high or too low,  
you will need to adjust it again.  
^ Press and hold the constant humidity  
button in for approx. 5 seconds.  
Temperature range  
The constant humidity indicator light will  
flash, and a ; will flash in the right hand  
temperature display.  
The temperature can be adjusted from  
5°C to 20°C.  
Temperature display  
During normal operation, the  
temperature displays on the control  
panel show the temperatures inside the  
appliance.  
^ Press one of the left hand  
temperature selector buttons for the  
upper zone repeatedly until an ^  
appears in the display.  
The temperature display will flash if  
– a different temperature is being set,

button m  
This setting enables the relative  
humidity inside the wine conditioning  
unit and the temperature to be  
distributed evenly around the interior so  
you can store all your wine under  
exactly the same excellent conditions.  
^ Press the On/Off button to come out  
of the setting mode. If you do not do  
this the electronics will switch over to  
normal operation automatically after a Switching on  
couple of minutes.  
If you would like to use the wine  
conditioning unit to store wine long  
term, the constant humidity setting  
should be activated. This will create a  
continuous climate in the cabinet which  
imitates that of a wine cellar.  
Humidity level  
It is very important to store wine in an  
atmosphere with a high humidity level  
(60-70 %) so that the corks remain  
moist on the outside. A refrigerator with  
its low humidity level is therefore not the  
best place to store wine. At a low  
humidity level corks dry out from the  
outside, and so do not seal the bottles  
tightly. Wine should be stored lying  
down to keep the corks moist from the  
inside too. Air entering the bottle will  
inevitably spoil the wine.  
^ Press the constant humidity button  
m. The indicator light will come on.  
Even if this setting has not been  
activated, the fan in the appliance  
will come on automatically when the  
cooling system switches on to  
ensure your wine is kept in the  
optimum climate.  
Useful tip: Before serving, stand the  
wine upright for at least two hours,  
or the entire day if possible, to allow  
any sediment to settle at the bottom  
of the bottle.  
The fan automatically switches off  
when the door is open.  
15  
 
The correct temperature and humidity  
Switching off  
Because the appliance uses more  
energy when this setting is switched on,  
it should not be left switched on all the  
time.  
^ To switch it off, press the constant  
humidity button m. The indicator  
light will go out.  
Air filtering with the active charcoal  
filter  
The active charcoal filters maintain the  
air quality in the wine conditioning unit  
by filtering the incoming air to ensure  
that all air entering the appliance is  
fresh and free from dust and smells.  
Replace the active charcoal filters  
with new ones once a year (see  
"Cleaning and care"). These are  
available from your dealer or the  
nearest Miele spare parts  
department.

Interior lighting  
There is lighting in both the upper and  
lower zones of the wine conditioning  
unit so that both zones can be lit up.  
Adjusting the brightness  
The brightness of the interior lighting  
can be adjusted.  
Do not remove the lamp covers.  
Should the covers be damaged or  
need to be removed due to damage,

Alarm  
Your appliance is fitted with a warning  
system which ensures that the  
temperature cannot rise or fall  
unnoticed and impair the wine.  
Activating the alarm system  
The alarm system is always active. It  
does not have to be switched on  
manually.  
Temperature alarm  
Switching the alarm off early  
An alarm will sound if the temperature  
in one of the zones rises or falls outside  
the temperature range. The relevant  
temperature display will flash at the  
same time.  
Once the set temperature has been  
reached in the appliance, the alarm  
stops and the relevant temperature  
display lights up constantly. However, if  
the noise disturbs you, you can switch  
the alarm off before this if you wish.  
The temperature the appliance is set at  
determines the temperature the  
appliance recognises as being too  
warm or too cool.  
The alarm will sound and the  
temperature display will flash:  
^ Press the alarm "off" button.  
The alarm will stop. The relevant  
temperature display continues to  
flash until the set temperature has  
been reached. The display then  
lights up constantly, and the alarm  
system is fully active again.  
– when you switch the appliance on, if  
the temperature inside the appliance  
is very different from the temperature  
set.  
– when there has been a lengthy  
interruption to the power supply.  
Door alarm  
If the door has been left open for more  
than approx. 60 seconds the alarm will  
sound.  
19  
 
Defrosting  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the appliance whilst it  
is in use. These are automatically  
defrosted and removed by the  
appliance.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an  
evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are never blocked so  
that condensate can flow away  
without hindrance.  
20  
 
Cleaning and care  
– sharp metal scrapers.  
Make sure that water cannot get into  
the electronic unit or into the  
lighting.  
Before cleaning  
^ Disconnect it from the mains.  
Do not let water get into the  
drainage channel and drain hole  
when cleaning.  
^ Take out any removable parts, e.g.  
shelves, for cleaning.  
Cleaning the interior, the door  
and accessories

Cleaning and care  
Ventilation gaps  
^ Turn the filters 90° clockwise or  
anti-clockwise until they click into  
position.  
^ The ventilation gaps should be  
cleaned regularly with a brush or  
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust  
will increase the energy consumption  
of the appliance.  
After cleaning  
^ Replace all shelves in the appliance.  
^ Reconnect to the mains and switch  
the appliance back on.  
Door seal  
Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seal as these will cause the  
seal to deteriorate and become  
porous over time.  
The door seal should be cleaned  
regularly with clean water and then  
wiped dry with a soft cloth.  
Active charcoal filter  
Replace the active charcoal filters with  
new ones once a year. These can be  
purchased from your Miele dealer or  
from the Spare Parts Department.

Installation  
Ventilation  
Air at the back of the appliance gets  
warm. The appliance housing unit must  
be constructed to allow sufficient space  
for ventilation. Miele kitchen units are  
designed to provide this ventilation.  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
Before installation  
^ Before building in, remove all  
accessories from the appliance.  
^ Remove any cable clips from the rear  
of the appliance.  
^ Check that all parts at the back of the  
appliance are unhindered. Carefully  
remove any hindrances.  
This appliance must be built in,

Installation  
Make sure that the ventilation gap in  
the plinth is at least 300 cm2 to  
ensure that air can be drawn  
through without hindrance.  
Otherwise the compressor will  
switch in too frequently and for  
longer, resulting in an increase in  
electricity consumption and an  
increased operating temperature  
which can lead to damage to the  
appliance.  
^ Align the appliance to the height of  
the niche by altering the adjustable  
feet using the spanner supplied.  
Securing the appliance  
^ Secure the appliance in its niche by  
tightening the screws through the  
fixing strip.
