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. Repairs
and other work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous. The man-
ufacturer cannot be held liable 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 op-
eration.
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 lo-
cated in the appliance?
^
Are any bottles or containers unsta-
ble or knocking against each other?
Remember that the noise of the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
. . . 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 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 in the refrigerator
section is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether ventilation gaps have
been covered over or become too
dusty.
^
Check whether, the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the appli-
ance has become too dusty.
^
The door has been opened too fre-
quently, or a large amount of food
has been put in at once.
^
Check that the door has been prop-
erly closed.
