button m
This setting enables the relative
humidity (and temperature) inside the
wine cooler to be distributed evenly
throughout the interior, so that 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 appliance will automatically
switch over to normal operation after
a few minutes.
Turning on Dynamic Cooling
If you would like to use the wine cooler
to store wine for the long term, the
constant humidity setting should be
activated. This will create a continuous
climate inside the appliance, imitating
that of a wine cellar.
Humidity level
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.
^ 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.
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.
The fan automatically switches off
when the door is open.
14
Optimum temperature and humidity
Turning off Dynamic Cooling
Because the appliance uses more
energy when this setting is switched on,
it should not be left on all the time.
^ To turn off the setting, press the
constant humidity button m. The
indicator light will go out.
Air exchange through the activate
charcoal filter
External air passes through the filter
before entering the unit.
The active charcoal filter ensures that
only clean, odor-free air enters the unit,
creating additional protection against
odor contamination.
The filter will need to be changed
periodically, or when odors are
present in the unit. See "Cleaning
and Care - Active charcoal filter" for
more information.
15
Interior lighting
There is lighting in both the upper and
lower zones of the wine cooler, 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 become

exercise caution. There are lasers
in the lighting (laser beam class
1M), which you should avoid looking
at directly!
^ At the same time, press the
right-hand temperature selector
buttons for the lower zone.
Switching on the interior lighting
Generally, wine should be stored in
dark conditions. However, the interior
lighting can be switched on to enable
you to see the wine stored in the wine
cooler.
Press the
+ button: to dim the lighting
- button: to make the lighting
brighter
^ Press the interior lighting button.
Both lights are turned on or off
simultaneously.
16
Storing wine bottles
Any vibration or movement of a wine
bottle can interrupt the natural
breathing process of the wine, which
affects the taste.
Descriptive labels
Use the labels supplied to identify your
wine quickly and easily. Insert the
labels into the metal holders at the front
of the shelves from above.
As much as possible, store bottles of
the same type of wine beside each
other on the same shelf. Removing a
bottle of one type will then leave the
other types undisturbed, and this will
avoid the need to move different bottles
around.
Additional labels can be obtained from
Miele.
Capacity
Approx. 38 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 l)
can be stored:
– 15 in the upper zone
– 23 in the lower zone
Wooden shelves
The wooden shelves are on runners,
and can be pulled out to make it easier
to store and remove bottles.
17
Alarm
The appliance is equipped with an
alarm system to ensure that the
temperature does not rise or fall
unnoticed and impair the wine.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be turned on
manually.
Temperature alarm
Turning the alarm off early
An alarm will sound if the temperature
in one of the zones rises or falls outside
the set temperature range. The
temperature display for the affected
zone(s) will flash while the alarm
sounds.
Once the set temperature has been
reached in the appliance, the alarm
stops and the relevant temperature
display shows a continuous light.
However, if the noise disturbs you, you
can turn the alarm off early if you wish.
The set temperature determines which
temperatures will trigger the alarm.
The alarm will sound and the
temperature display will flash:
– when you switch the appliance on, if
the temperature inside the appliance
is very different from the set
temperature.
^ 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
shows a continuous light, and the
alarm system becomes fully active
again.
– if 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.
18
Defrosting
Over time, condensate and frost can
build up on the back wall of the
appliance. These are automatically
defrosted and removed by the
appliance.
The condensate is drained away
through a channel and drain hole into
an evaporation system at the back of
the appliance.
It is important to ensure that the
condensate channel and drain hole
are never blocked, so that
condensate can flow away
unobstructed.
19
