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.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^
Make sure that the temperature dial is
not set at "0".
^
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 temperature in the refrigerator
section or freezer section is too low.
^
Turn the temperature dial to a lower
setting.
^
The Super freeze function is still on
and the Super freeze indicator light is
on.
The Super freeze function switches
itself off automatically after approx.
65 hours.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
Has a large amount of fresh food
been frozen at the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically.
. . . the door to the freezer section 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 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 doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
