The correct temperature and humidity  
Wine keeps on maturing depending on  
the surrounding conditions. The length  
of time for which wine can be kept in  
good condition will depend on the  
temperature as well as on the air  
humidity.  
Safety features  
A thermostat prevents the temperature  
in the wine cellar falling below 2°C. If  
the external temperature should drop  
below this level, a heater element in the  
appliance switches on automatically to  
keep the temperature inside as  
Temperature  
constant as possible.  
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 cellar 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 temperature is set using the two  
buttons next to the temperature display.  
Press the

The temperature being set will flash 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 pressing the buttons, the  
following information shows in the  
display:  
An ambient room temperature of  
8-43°C will ensure that a constant  
temperature is maintained in the  
appliance. (This is a wider temperature  
range than the climate range quoted on  
the data plate).

Temperature display  
During normal operation, the  
temperature display on the control  
panel shows the temperature inside the  
appliance.  
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. Low humidity  
causes corks to dry out from the  
If the temperature in the appliance is  
not within the range that the appliance  
is able to display (i.e. 2-30°C), only

temperature required and for this  
temperature to then be shown as a  
constant temperature in the display.  
Ideal humidity levels can be maintained  
inside the appliance as long as the  
ambient room temperature is between  
15°C and 35°C.  
The temperature display will flash, if  
– a different temperature is being set,  
– the temperature in the wine cellar is  
too high or too low.  
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.  
Temperature display brightness  
The appliance is supplied with the  
brightness of the temperature display  
set as low as possible. However, if the  
door is opened, a setting changed or if  
the alarm is sounding, the temperature  
display will appear much brighter for  
approx. 1 minute.

The correct temperature and humidity  
Air filtering with the active charcoal  
filter and dynamic cooling  
The active charcoal filter and the  
dynamic cooling system work together  
to ensure a good air flow is maintained  
throughout the cabinet and thus  
achieve optimum air quality.  
The dynamic cooling system draws  
fresh air with a humidity level of 60-70%  
from outside the appliance, in through  
the active charcoal filter and distributes  
it evenly around the interior.  
Filtering the incoming air through the  
active charcoal filter ensures that all the  
air entering the appliance is fresh and  
free from dust. Because the  
temperature is constant and evenly  
distributed throughout the unit you have  
the reassurance that all your wines are  
being kept in the same condition.  
Replace the active charcoal filter  
with a new one once a year (see  
"Cleaning and care"). These are  
available from your dealer.

The alarm system is always active. It  
does not have to be switched on  
manually.  
Temperature alarm  
Switching the alarm off early  
The alarm will sound if the temperature  
in the appliance rises approx. 4°C  
above or falls approx. 4°C below the  
set temperature. The temperature  
display will flash at the same time.  
Once the set temperature has been  
reached in the appliance, the alarm  
stops and the temperature display  
lights up constantly. However, if the  
noise disturbs you, you can switch the  
alarm off before this if you wish.  
The alarm will sound and the

once more.  
– when there has been a lengthy  
interruption to the power supply.  
Door alarm  
The alarm will sound if the door is left  
open for more than approx. 3 minutes.  
16  
Defrosting  
Condensate and frost can build up on  
the back wall of the appliance whilst it  
is in use. These are automatically  
removed and defrosted 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.  
17  
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the outer casing, the  
interior and accessories  
Never use cleaning agents  
containing abrasive substances  
such as sand, soda, acids or  
chemical solvents.  
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are  
also unsuitable as they can cause  
matt areas to appear.  
Use warm water with a little washing up  
liquid. Accessories and shelves should  
all be hand-washed only.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that  
condensate can drain away  
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to  
clear the drain if necessary.  
Make sure that water cannot get into  
the electronic unit or into the lighting.  
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,  
the interior and accessories with a  
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

E-Cloth  
^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available  
from the Miele UK Spare Parts  
Department which is suitable for  
cleaning surfaces such as stainless  
steel, glass, plastic and chrome  
without the use of chemicals.  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is  
required in the event of a Service  
call.

^ 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.  
Before cleaning  
^ Switch the appliance off at the wall  
socket and remove the plug.  
^ Take out any removable parts, e.g.  
shelves, for cleaning.

required, follow the instructions below.  
^ Remove the cover caps from the  
opposite side, and fit them into the  
empty holes.  
Removing the door handle:  
Changing over the door:  
First the side section of the handle must  
be removed:  
^ Pull door handle a towards you. Side  
section b slides back, creating a  
gap d between side section b and  
mounting plate c.  
^ Place a suitable object (e.g. a spoon  
handle) in gap d, and slowly lever  
the handle towards the door.  
^ Close the appliance door, unscrew  
hinge bracket a, and take the door  
off.  
Be careful not to let the "spoon  
handle" slip, causing damage to the  
appliance.  
^ Take hinge pin b out of the hinge  
bracket, then refit it in the second  
hole of the hinge bracket. (Use the  
spanner supplied to unscrew and  
refit the hinge pin).  
The side section b can now be  
removed.  
^ Use the spanner supplied to unscrew  
upper hinge pin c, and refit it on the  
other side.  
^ Pull side section b out of the guides  
on the mounting plate.  
^ Loosen the 4 screws (Torx 15) in the  
mounting plate, and remove the  
handle.  
^ Remove stoppers d, and unscrew  
bracket e . Refit the bracket and  
stoppers on the other side of the  
door.  
26  
Changing the door hinging  
^ Rotate the door 180°.  
Refitting the handle:  
^ Remove cover f and use it to cover  
the now empty holes on the opposite  
side.  
Please make sure you follow the  
instructions below carefully when  
you refit the handle. The door seal  
will be damaged if the handle is  
fitted incorrectly.  
^ Hang the door on the upper hinge  
pin and close the door.  
^ Fit the hinge bracket in the lower  
door bearing. Then screw it securely  
to the appliance plinth.  
Use the long slots in the hinge  
bracket to align the door.  
^ Loosely attach the handle to the  
opposite side of the door with the two  
front screws b.  
Mounting plate c must be positioned  
on the side of the door so that when the  
door is closed it is flush with the side of  
the appliance.  
If this is not the case,  
^ Tighten both grub screws a with the  
allen key provided until mounting  
plate c lines up correctly.  
^ Then tighten all 4 fixing screws b.  
^ Slide the side section of the handle  
d into the guides on the mounting  
plate until it clicks into place.  
27  
Changing the door hinging  
It is important to check that the side  
section of the handle d does not  
come into contact with the door seal  
when opening the door, as this  
would damage the door seal  
permanently.  
If, after you have refitted the handle,  
you find that the side section does  
touch the door seal when the door is  
opened:  
Realign mounting plate c with grub  
screws a until the mounting plate and  
the side section of the handle d are at  
the correct angle and the side section  
does not touch the seal when the door  
is opened.
