Repair work to electrical appliances
must 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 cold.
^
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 whether the mains fuse has
tripped or whether the fridge, mains
voltage or another appliance is faulty.
If this is the case, contact a qualified
electrician or Miele.
. . . the appliance does not get cool
but the temperature display lights up.
Demonstration mode is activated. This
enables the appliance to be displayed
without using the cooling system. Do
not
activate this setting for domestic
use.
^
Deactivate the demonstration mode
(see "Information for Chartered
Agents - Demonstration mode").
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
The SuperCool function is switched
on. It switches off automatically after
6 hours.
. . . the alarm sounds.
Has the appliance door been open for
longer than two minutes?
^
Close the appliance door.
. . . the compressor is switching on
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 closes properly.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed when less cooling is
required. In this case, the compressor
runs for longer.
