Technical safety

The coolant system is tested for leaks. The wine conditioning unitcomplies with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EUguidelines.

This wine conditioning unit contains the coolant Isobutane(R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it isflammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not in-crease the greenhouse effect.The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in thenoise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the com-pressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around thesystem. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effecton the performance of the appliance.Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of thewine conditioning unit that no parts of the cooling system are dam-aged. 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 wine conditioning unit is located forseveral minutes, and

– contact the Miele Service Department.


8

The more coolant there is in a wine conditioning unit, the largerthe 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 gasesbuilding up. For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of room space isrequired. The amount of coolant in the wine conditioning unit isstated on the data plate inside the appliance.

To avoid the risk of damage to the wine conditioning unit, makesure that the connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) onthe data plate corresponds to the household supply.Check that this is the case before connecting the wine conditioningunit. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of the wine conditioning unit can only beguaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standardsafety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electricalinstallation tested by a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of the wine conditioning unit can onlybe assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replacedby a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user fromdanger.

Do not connect the wine conditioning unit to the mains electricalsupply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a firehazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Do not use in a damp or wet environment (e.g. garage or utilityroom). Moisture could reach live components or the electrical con-nection and cause a short circuit.


9

This wine conditioning unit must not be used in a non-stationarylocation (e.g. on a ship).

Do not use a damaged wine conditioning unit. It could be danger-ous. Check the wine conditioning unit for visible signs of damage.

For safety reasons, this wine conditioning unit may only be usedafter it has been built in.

The wine conditioning unit must be isolated from the electricitysupply during installation, maintenance and repair work.

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user.Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by aMiele authorised technician.

While the wine conditioning unit is under guarantee, repairs shouldonly be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Other-wise the guarantee is invalidated.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty componentsmust only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

Correct use

The wine conditioning unit is designed for use within a certain cli-mate range (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outsidethis range. The climate range for your wine conditioning unit is statedon the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with toolow an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the wine con-ditioning unit switching off for longer periods so that it cannot main-tain the required temperature.

Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the effi-ciency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption andcould cause damage to the components.


10

If the wine conditioning unit is used for storing food which con-tains fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact withplastic components as any spillages of oil or fat could cause stresscracks to the plastic and cause it to break or split.

Do not store explosive materials in the wine conditioning unit orany products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electricalcomponents could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fireand explosion.

Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice creammaker) inside the wine conditioning unit. Danger of sparking and ex-plosion.

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts withthis appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liab-ility.

Cleaning and care

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these willcause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this wine condi-tioning unit. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-cuit.

Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-ing irreversible damage to the wine conditioning unit. Do not usesharp edged or pointed objects to

– remove frost and ice,

– remove labels, stickers etc.


11

Transporting the appliance

The optimum temperature and air quality

25

Wine keeps on maturing depending onthe surrounding conditions. The lengthof time for which wine can be kept ingood condition will therefore dependnot only on the temperature but also onthe air quality.

The wine conditioning unit with its con-stant ideal temperature, increased airhumidity and odour free atmosphere of-fers the perfect conditions for storingyour wine.

It also guarantees a vibration-free envir-onment (in contrast to a refrigerator) sothat the maturing process is not dis-turbed.

The optimum temperatureWine can be stored at a temperaturebetween 6 and 18 °C. If you are storingwhite and red wines together, select atemperature between 12 and 14 °C.This is suitable for both white and redwines. Red wine should be taken out ofthe wine conditioning unit and openedat least two hours before drinking to al-low it to breathe and develop its aroma.

At too high a temperature (over 22 °C)wine matures too quickly, which pre-vents the aromas from developing fur-ther. Wine cannot mature fully at toolow a temperature (below 5 °C).

Fluctuations in temperature put wineunder stress and interrupt the maturingprocess. It is therefore very important tomaintain a constant temperature.

Type of wine Recommendeddrinking temper-ature

Light, fruity reds: +14 °C to +16 °C

Full-bodied reds: +18 °C

Rosé wines: +8 °C to +10 °C

Delicate, aromaticwhites:

+8 °C to +12 °C

Full-bodied or sweet whites:

+12 °C to +14 °C

Champagne,sparkling whitewines:

+6 °C to +10 °C

Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2°C cooler thanthe recommended drinking temperatureas it warms up a little when poured intothe glass.

Tip: Full-bodied reds should be openedfor 2-3 hours before drinking to allowthe wine to breathe and develop itsaroma.


26

Safety device in case of low ambienttemperatures

The appliance is equipped with a safetythermostat to protect your wine againsta sharp drop in temperature. If the ex-ternal temperature should fall, a heaterelement switches on automatically tokeep the temperature inside as constantas possible. If the ambient temperaturecontinues to fall, the appliance switchesitself off automatically.

Isolator plate for thermal separation

The unit comes with a fixed isolationpanel that partitions the interior of thewine conditioning unit into two separatetemperature zones. This enables you tostore different types of wine at the sametime, e.g., red wine and Champagne.The isolation strips inside the glassdoor prevent the exchange of heatbetween the individual zones.

Setting the temperature

The temperature in the wine condition-ing zones can be set independently ofone another.

Touch the sensor for the zone forwhich you wish to change the tem-perature, so that it is highlighted inyellow.

The current temperature for the selec-ted zone appears in the display.

Use the two sensors underneath thedisplay to set the temperature.

By touching the sensor

– the temperature will get colder

– the temperature will get warmer.


27

Touch the OK sensor to confirm yourselectionor

wait approximately 5 seconds afterthe last touch of a sensor.

The temperature being set will flash inthe display.

The following information shows in thedisplay while the sensors are beingtouched:

– Touching a sensor once: the lasttemperature selected flashes.

– Each subsequent touch of thesensor: adjusts the temperatureshown in 1 °C steps.

– Leaving a finger on the sensorchanges the temperature continu-ously.

A tone will sound (if the sensor toneis switched on) when the lowest orhighest possible temperature isreached.

Approximately 5 seconds after the lasttime a sensor has been touched, theactual temperature inside the applianceis automatically shown.

When the temperature is altered, thereis a short delay until the temperatureselected is set.

The temperature display on the controlpanel always shows the actual tem-perature.

Temperature range

In both zones it is possible to set tem-peratures between 5 and 20 °C.

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperaturedisplay shows the actual temperature inthe zone.

If the temperature in one of the zones isnot within the range that the applianceis able to display, dashes will light up inthe temperature display.

Depending on the ambient temperatureand the temperature setting, it can takethe appliance a few hours to reach thetemperature required and for this tem-perature to then be shown as a con-stant temperature in the display.


28

Air quality and humidityA conventional refrigerator with its lowhumidity level is not the best place tostore wine. It is very important to storewine in an atmosphere with a high hu-midity level so that the corks remainmoist on the outside. Low humiditycauses corks to dry out from the out-side so they do not seal the bottles astightly. Wine should be stored lyingdown to keep the corks moist from theinside too. Air entering the bottle will in-evitably spoil the wine.

Do not introduce additional moistureinto the air, e.g. by placing a dish ofwater in the appliance, as this willlead to condensation on the interiorwalls, which can cause corrosiondamage.

DynaCool (constant humidity)

DynaCool raises the relative humidityinside the appliance. DynaCool alsodistributes the humidity and the temper-ature evenly around the interior so thatyou can store all your wine under ex-actly the same excellent conditions.This will create a stable climate in thecabinet which imitates that of a winecellar.

Switching on DynaCool

If you would like to use the wine condi-tioning unit to store wine long term, werecommend that you keep theDynaCool function switched on.

Touch the sensor for switching theDynaCool function on and off so thatit is highlighted in yellow.

Even if the DynaCool function has notbeen switched on, the fans in the ap-pliance will come on automaticallywhen the cooling system switches onto ensure your wine is kept in the op-timum climate.

The fans automatically switch offwhen the door is open.


29

Switching off DynaCool

The appliance uses slightly more energyand is a little noisier when the DynaCoolfunction is switched on. You can switchit off now and then if you wish.

Touch the sensor for switching theDynaCool function on and off so thatit is no longer highlighted in yellow.

Air filtration with the Active AirCleanfilter

The Active AirClean filter achieves op-timum air quality by filtering the incom-ing air.

Fresh air from the room enters the ap-pliance via the Active AirClean filter.The fans (DynaCool function) then dis-tribute the air evenly throughout thecabinet.Filtering the incoming air through theActive AirClean filter ensures that all theair entering the appliance is fresh andfree from dust and odours.This also ensures your wine does notabsorb any unwanted odours throughthe corks.

Replace the Active AirClean filter regu-larly. The symbol will appear in thedisplay to remind you (see "ActiveAirClean filter").

Temperature and door alarm

30

This wine conditioning unit is equippedwith an alarm system so that the tem-perature cannot rise or fall unnoticed,thus possibly damaging the wine.

Temperature alarmIf the temperature in one of the wineconditioning zones rises or falls by acertain amount, the sensor for that zonewill flash in the control panel and at thesame time the alarm symbol willflash in the display.An alarm will also sound.

Audible and visual signals will be activ-ated, for example,

– when the wine conditioning unit isswitched on and the temperature inone of the temperature zones differsgreatly from the set temperature,

– when too much warm ambient airenters the cabinet when bottles arebeing rearranged or taken out,

– when a large number of bottles arestored for the first time,

– in the event of a power cut.

As soon as the cause of the alarm hasbeen rectified, the alarm will stop andthe alarm symbol will go out. Thesensor for the relevant zone will light upconstantly again.

Switching the temperature alarm offearly

If the noise disturbs you, you canswitch the alarm off if you wish.

Touch the sensor for switching off thetemperature alarm.

The alarm will stop.The relevant wine conditioning zone willcontinue to flash in the control paneland the alarm symbol will continueto flash in the display until the cause ofthe alarm has been rectified.

Temperature and door alarm

31

Door alarmThe alarm will sound if the door is leftopen for more than approx. twominutes. The sensors for the wine con-ditioning zones will flash in the controlpanel. The alarm symbol will light upin the display.

The alarm will stop when the door isshut. The sensors for the wine condi-tioning zones and the alarm symbol will go out.

Switching the door alarm off early

If the noise disturbs you, you canswitch the alarm off if you wish.

Touch the sensor for switching off thedoor alarm.

The alarm will stop.The sensors for the wine conditioningzone will continue to flash and thealarm symbol will remain lit up untilyou close the door.

If the audible tone does not sound inthe event of a door alarm, then theaudible tone has been switched off insettings mode (see "Selecting furthersettings - Audible tones").

Feature lighting

32

The interior lighting can be set to re-main on when the door is closed soyour wines can be on display at alltimes.

Each wine conditioning zone has itsown lighting strip so that all zones areilluminated.

Thanks to the use of LED lighting, thewine will not be adversely affected byheat or UV light.

General problems with the wine conditioning unit


There is no audiblealarm although the doorhas been open for along time.

This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been switchedoff in settings mode (see "Selecting further settings -Audible tones").

You cannot switch thewine conditioning unitoff.

The safety lock is activated. The symbol is lit up inthe display. Deactivate the lock (see "Selecting further settings

- Activating or deactivating the lock").

The slats on thewooden shelves arewarping.

Volume change due to moisture absorption or dryingout is a typical characteristic of wood. An increase inhumidity will cause wooden components to warp,which can lead to cracking. Knots and grain patinaare part of the natural character of wood.

Mildew has begun toform on the wine bottlelabels.

Mildew can begin to form on the labels, depending onthe type of label adhesive used. Clean the wine bottles and remove any adhesive

residue.

A white deposit hasformed on the winebottle corks.

The corks have oxidised due to contact with the air. Use a dry cloth to wipe off the deposit. The de-

posit will not affect the quality of the wine.
