temperature does not rise unnoticed  
because of energy loss or an open  
door.  
Turning the temperature alarm Off  
As soon as the alarm condition is  
corrected, the alarm signal turns off  
and the affected zone stops flashing in

the affected zone flashes in the display.  
The alarm signal turns off. The "alarm"  
indicator remains red and the  
corresponding appliance zone  
continues to flash until the alarm  
condition is corrected.  
If you use the Home Security  
System, a temperature alarm will  
also trigger your security alarm.  
Once the temperature alarm is  
turned off, the security alarm will  
also shut off.

for wine storage in general.  
Temperature  
Wine storage 51°F (11°C)  
Wine can be stored at temperatures  
between 41°F and 64°F (5 - 18°C). If  
you would like to store red and white  
wines together, choose a temperature  
between 50°F and 54°F (10 - 12 °C).  
Most white wines are palatable at this  
temperature. It is best to take red wine  
out of the appliance about 2 hours  
before drinking. Open the wine to allow  
it to breathe and to develop its aroma.  
After 2 hours, red wine will be at the  
correct temperature for drinking.  
You can change the "purpose" of the  
zones as you wish.  
For example, you can store white wine  
in the upper temperature zone, as long  
as you adjust the temperature  
accordingly:  
^ Tap the sensor button for the desired  
temperature zone, so that it turns  
yellow.  
Storage temperatures above 72°F  
(22°C) will cause wines to mature too  
quickly. By contrast, wine should not be  
stored below 41°F (5°C), since it will not  
mature fully at this low temperature.  
Fluctuations in temperature put wine  
under stress and interrupt the maturing  
process. Therefore, it is important to  
maintain a constant temperature.  
^ Select the preferred temperature  
setting so that the sensor button turns  
yellow.  
The setting "white temper" is not  
available in the lower temperature  
zone.

to divide the interior into the three  
different temperature zones. This  
allows you to store three different types  
of wine, such as red wine, white wine  
and champagne.  
If you wish, you can change any or all  
of these factory settings.  
The correct serving temperature is  
crucial for the taste and therefore your  
enjoyment of the wine.

Optimum temperature and air quality  
Humidity  
Increasing or decreasing the  
humidity  
In a conventional refrigerator, the  
humidity levels are too low for storing  
wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %)  
are very important for the storage of  
wine, so that the corks remain moist.  
Under low humidity, the corks dry out  
from the outside and can no longer seal  
the bottles properly. This is why wine  
bottles should always be stored lying  
down, so that the wine can keep the  
corks moistened from within. If air  
enters the bottle, a wine will inevitably  
spoil.  
The unit comes factory pre-set to high  
humidity.  
If you would like to use the wine unit for  
long-term storage, it is recommended  
that you select the higher humidity. The  
interior climate will then correspond  
with the conditions in a wine cellar.  
Humidity is raised or lowered for all  
temperature zones simultaneously.  
Tip: Wine bottles should stand upright  
for at least two hours before serving, or,  
better still whole day long, to enable  
deposits to settle to the bottom of the  
bottle.

Storing wine  
Storage tips  
Wooden racks  
– Always unpack bottles – do not store  
wine in crates or boxes.  
– Always lay bottles on their side for  
storage. This keeps the corks moist  
from the inside, preventing air from  
entering.  
– Store similar wine varieties beside  
each other on the same shelf, to  
avoid restacking and the need to  
disturbed other bottles.  
For convenient removal and addition of  
bottles, the wooden racks can be  
pulled out on rails.  
– Before serving, rosé and red wine  
bottles should spend at least two  
hours upright and open, to reach  
optimal drinking temperature.  
Sparkling wine and champagnes  
should be chilled briefly in the  
refrigerator before serving.  
The wooden racks can also be  
completely removed.  
^ Pull out the empty wooden rack  
(along with the rails) as far as the  
stop, then lift it up and out.  
– Remember that wine should always  
be cooled to slightly lower than the  
ideal serving temperature, as the  
temperature increases by 1° to 2° as  
soon as it is poured into a glass.  
^ To replace the racks, set them on the  
extended rails so that they click into  
place.  
Be sure that the ventilation slits at  
the rear of the unit are not blocked.  
They are essential for the unit to  
operate properly.  
21  
Storing wine  
Bottle display rack  
The display rack can only be attached  
to wooden racks with wide cross-ties. In  
the upper temperature zone, these are  
found in the lower position. In the lower  
temperature zones, they are found in  
both the upper and lower position.  
The display rack, allows you to display  
selected bottles so they can be seen  
even with the door closed.  
It is recommended that the wooden  
racks always be left in the pre-set  
positions. This makes optimal use of  
the interior space.  
Never stack bottles on the wooden  
racks. Only the bottom-most level in  
each temperature zone can support  
a stack of bottles (remove the  
wooden rack).  
^ Lay the wine bottles in the display  
rack, so that they touch the wooden  
guide-rail a.  
Maximum capacity  
The unit can hold approx. 102 bottles  
(0.75 l).  
^ To remove the display rack pull it up  
and out, then attach it to the rear  
position on the wooden rack b.  
The bottles can now be stored on the  
wooden rack in the usual manner.  
Additional display racks are  
available from Miele.

this dimension for the subsequent  
alignment of the custom door fronts.  
The installation aids e have been  
designed for the following total  
thickness of custom doors:  
– 3/4" (19 mm)  
– 1 1/2" (38 mm).  
Be sure to take into account the  
possible differing thicknesses of the  
custom doors that are to be fitted  
subsequently.  
The height-adjustable feet at the front  
and rear can all be adjusted from the  
front.  
^ Align the custom doors with a level.  
– Front: with an open-ended wrench  
½" (SW 13).  
The feet can be adjusted from the  
top and bottom f.  
– Rear: with a 5/16" (8 mm) hex nut  
driver via flexible shaft g.

Installation  
Note:  
If there is no way to attach the top of  
the appliance, it can be attached to the  
sides of the installation niche.  
– Do not twist or jam the appliance  
inside the niche. When unscrewing  
the height-adjustable feet, proceed  
gradually, alternating between left  
and right.  
^ Pull out the plate side lugs i.  
– The adjustment of the rear feet is  
aided if the appliance is lifted at the  
rear (tipped forward slightly).  
– If using a wooden beam as an  
alternative anti-tip device, rotate the  
appliance all the way toward the  
wooden beam.  
– Do not use a power tool to adjust the  
rear feet!  
Attaching the appliance to the  
installation niche  
^ Secure the attachment plate side lugs.

Set aside the nuts - you will need  
them again later.  
^ Set aside the screws and side strips  
o - you will need them again later.  
^ With the inside facing up, lay the  
custom door on a stable surface (to  
avoid scratch marks, place some  
plastic or a cloth on the surface).  
^ Take off the light switch cover.  
^ Close the appliance door.  
53  
Installation  
When performing any work on the  
custom door, always observe the  
following:  
– Always select the best load-bearing  
surface of the custom door as the  
location for screws.  
– Select a screw length that is shorter  
than the thickness of the door front.  
Attaching and aligning the  
custom door front  
^ Mark the distance X on the back-side  
of the custom door.  
^ Fit the door handle to the custom  
door.  
^ Also calculate and mark the center of  
the custom door Y.  
Note that the screws are applied from  
the reverse side.  
^ Remove the mounting frame from the  
appliance door and position it  
according to the markings on the  
custom door.  
^ Pre-drill the holes.  
^ Tightly screw on the bracket using  
the pre-drilled holes:  
Attach the bracket to each  
attachment point with at least one  
screw.  
^ Attach the bracket at the top with at  
least 5 screws:  
^ Open the upper door and hang the  
custom door with the adjusting rail  
over the double-threaded bolts p.  
^ Screw the nuts q a few turns onto  
the double-threaded bolts. Do not  
tighten completely.  
The bracket includes a variety of holes  
for the various design options of  
custom doors.  
^ Close the door.  
54  
Installation  
^ Adjust the custom door to adjacent  
furniture/fixtures.  
Attaching the covers  
^ Align the custom door with the  
double-threaded bolts.  
^ Tighten the nuts on the adjusting rail.  
This will correct the side alignment of  
the door.  
^ To mount the cover strips on both  
sides of the door, click them into  
place from bottom to top, into the  
gap between the appliance door and  
the custom door.  
^ Put the side strips o back into place  
and screw them completely down on  
both sides of the appliance door.  
Bag E contains spare screws for this  
purpose.  
^ Align the custom door again as  
needed and tighten all screws on the  
sides.  
^ Screw the brackets onto both sides  
of the appliance, to hold the cover  
strip.  
55  
Installation  
Attaching the toe-kick cover  
The maximum height of the toe-kick  
cover is 4" (102 mm) from the top of  
the floor. Do not cover ventilation  
slits in the plinth. Risk of damage to  
the appliance.  
^ If required, cut the toe-kick cover to  
the required length and height.  
^ Insert the cover strip into the space  
between the appliance and the side  
panel.  
For side-by-side combinations, the
