switches itself off automatically after
approx. 15 minutes.

If this is not the case, then the bulb is
defective:

^

Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and with-
draw the plug from the socket (pull
by the plug not the cable), or discon-
nect the mains fuse or remove the
screw-out fuse in countries where this
is applicable.

^

Press the sides of the lamp cover in-
wards, disengage the cover and
unclip it at the rear.

^

Unscrew the bulb and replace it with
a new one.

Bulb specification:
220 – 240 V, max. 25 W, E 14 fitting

^

Screw the new bulb into the connec-
tion. Ensure it goes in correctly.

^

Replace the cover by clipping it in at
the rear and then pressing it in at the
sides.

. . . the floor of the refrigerator sec-
tion is wet.

The drain hole is blocked.

^

Clean the condensate channel and

If you still cannot remedy the fault
having followed these suggestions,
then contact the Miele Service De-
partment.

To prevent unecessary loss of tem-
perature it is advisable not to open
the doors while waiting for the appli-
ance to be serviced.
