^
Check that the door has been prop-
erly closed.
^
Check whether a thick layer of ice
has built up. If it has, then the freezer
will need defrosting.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light flashes.
The temperature has risen above the
setting on the temperature 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 goes off.
. . . the alarm sounds at the same
time as the -15 °C temperature
display.
There is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the super freeze indicator light is
not lit up although the appliance is
working.
^
The indicator light is defective. Call
the Miele Service Department.
. . . 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.
^
Check whether the door closes
properly.
^
Defrost and then clean the freezer.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces effi-
ciency and increases energy consump-
tion.
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 door while waiting for the appli-
ance to be serviced.
