Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit-
ably qualified and competent person
in accordance with local and na-
tional safety regulations. Unauthor-
ised repairs could be dangerous.
The following faults can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department:
What to do if . . .
. . . strange noises can be heard after
switching on the appliance, espe-
cially after it has just been installed.
^
Check to see whether any pieces of
furniture next to the appliance are
vibrating whilst the appliance is in
operation.
Switch the appliance off then:
^
Check whether the appliance is
aligned correctly.
^
Check whether all parts at the rear of
the appliance are free from hin-
drance. Remove any hindrance.
^
Check whether the cable clips were
unclipped from the back of the appli-
ance before installation. They could
vibrate when the appliance is operat-
ing.
^
Are all removable parts securely
located in the appliance?
Remember that the noise of the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^
Make sure that the temperature dial is
not pointing to the "0" position.
^
Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has, contact the Miele
Service Department.
. . . the door will not open because it
has been opened and closed too
many times in succession.
^
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening.
Wait a few minutes and then try
again. It should now open without
force.
. . . the temperature is too low.
^
Turn the temperature dial to a setting
closer to "0".
^
The super freeze function has not
been switched off. The indicator light
is still on.
. . . the appliance is switching on too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether ventilation gaps in the
plinth and in the housing unit at the
top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
^
The door has been opened too fre-
quently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
