^
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 temper-
ature display for the freezer section
flashes.
The freezer section temperature has
risen above the temperature set, be-
cause
^
the freezer door has been opened
too frequently or large amounts of
fresh food have been put in at once
for freezing.
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked.
^
There has been a lengthy interruption
to the power supply.
Once the problem has been resolved
the alarm will go out and the tempera-
ture display for the freezer section will
light up constantly.
. . . a bar lights up or flashes in the
temperature displays.
Check the temperature displays
approx. 6 hours after switching the ap-
pliance on. The temperature will not
show in the display until it reaches a
certain temperature.
. . . "

" to "
F5
" appears in the tem-
perature display
There is a technical fault. Call the Miele
Service Department.
. . . "nA" appears in the temperature
display.
The temperature in the freezer section
rose as a result of a power cut at some
point during the last couple of days.
^
Press the alarm button whilst "
nA
" is
lit up.
The temperature display will show the
warmest temperature reached in the
freezer section during the power cut.
Depending on the temperature dis-
played you should check the condition
of food in the freezer.
If it has defrosted or started to defrost
check that it is still safe to use and if so
use it as quickly as possible. Defrosted
food may only be re-frozen after it has
been cooked.
