Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after
maintenance or repair work has
been carried out.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^
Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. The temperature
display must be lit up.
^
Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket and switched
on.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
tripped. 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.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
The Super freeze function is still
switched on. The Super freeze
function switches itself off
automatically after approx. 30 - 65
hours.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the 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
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the door has been closed
properly.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer. If it
has, then the freezer will need
defrosting.
