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.
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
selectors are not pointing to the "0"
position.
^
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
blown. If it has, contact the Miele Ser-
vice Department.
. . . 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 temperature in the refrigerator
section or freezer section is too low.
^
Turn the temperature selector to a
warmer setting.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
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.
^
Has a large amount of fresh food
been put in at the same time for
freezing?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^
Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has 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.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer section.
If it has then the freezer section will
need defrosting.
