^
The doors have been opened too fre-
quently, or a large quantity of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the doors have been
properly closed.
^
Check whether a thick layer of ice
has built up in the freezer section. If it
has then the freezer section will need
defrosting.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper to carefully
prise it apart.
. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
freezer section.
^
Check whether the door to the
freezer section closes properly.
^
Defrost and then clean the freezer
section.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces effi-
ciency and increases energy consump-
tion.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light flashes.
The freezer section temperature has
risen above the setting on the tempera-
ture dial because
^
the door has been opened too fre-
quently or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in at once for
freezing.
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked.
Once the problem has been resolved
the alarm indicator light will go out and
the alarm will stop.
. . . the alarm indicator light flashes at
the same time as -15 °C or -18 °C in
the temperature display.
There is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the refrigerator section indicator
light is not lit up.
Check to see whether the super freeze
indicator light comes on when the
super freeze button is pressed.
^
If it does, then the refrigerator section
indicator light is defective. Call the
Miele Service Department.
^
If the super freeze light does not
come on either, then check whether
– the plug is correctly inserted in the
socket.
– the mains fuse has blown. If it has
there is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the super freeze indicator light
does not light up although the appli-
ance is working.
The indicator light is defective. Call the
Miele Service Department.
