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.
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 into 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 temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
The Super cool function is still
switched on. Super cool only
switches itself off after 6 hours.
. . the alarm sounds.
Has the appliance door been open for
longer than 2 minutes?
^
Close the door.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^
Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become too dusty.
^
The door has been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of food
has been put in at once.
^
Check that the door has been closed
properly.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
. . . the interior lighting in the
refrigerator section is not working.
^
Was the door left open for too long?
The lighting switches itself off
automatically after approx.
15 minutes.
If this is not the case, then the lamp is
defective.
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains fuse or remove
the screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.
