Technical safety
~
The refrigerant system is tested for
leaks. This appliance complies with
statutory safety requirements.
~
This appliance contains the
refrigerant 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 greenhouse effect.
The use of this refrigerant has,
however, led to a slight increase in the
noise level of the appliance. In addition
to the noise of the compressor, you
might be able to hear the refrigerant
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
refrigerant can cause severe irritation to
the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
–
avoid open flames and anything that
creates a spark,
–
disconnect the appliance from the
electrical power supply,
–
air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and
–
contact Miele Service.
~
The more refrigerant there is in an
appliance, the larger the room it should
be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the appliance is in a small
room, there is the danger of
combustible gases building up.
For every8gofrefrigerant at least 1 m
3
of room space is required. The amount
of refrigerant 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.
~
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
~
If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a Miele authorized
technician in order to protect the user
from harm.
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
electrical supply with a power bar or
extension cord. These are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance.
