Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit-
ably qualified and competent per-
son in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for unauthorised work.
The following can be corrected without
contacting the Miele Service Depart-
ment:
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 vi-
brating whilst the appliance is in
operation.
Switch the appliance off then:
Check whether the appliance is
aligned correctly.
Are all removable parts securely lo-
cated 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.
Check that the plug is correctly in-
serted in the socket.
Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has, consult the Miele Ser-
vice department.
. . . the temperature is too low.
Turn the temperature selector to a
setting closer to the "Off" position.
The super freeze function has not
been switched off. The indicator light
is still on.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
Check whether the ventilation grille
has been covered over or become
too dusty.
The lid has been opened too fre-
quently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
Check that the lid has been properly
closed.
Check whether a thick layer of ice
has built up. If it has then the freezer
will need defrosting.
. . . the warning light is on.
The temperature has risen above the
setting on the temperature selector be-
cause
the lid has been opened too fre-
quently, or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in at once for
freezing.
the ventilation grille is blocked.
there has been a lengthy interruption
to the power supply.
Once the problem has been resolved
the warning light will go out.
