Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit-
ably qualified and competent per-
son in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Unauth-
orised repairs could be dangerous.
The following can be corrected without
contacting the Miele Service Depart-
ment:
What to do if . . .
. . . strange noises can be heard after
switching on the appliance, espe-
cially after it has just been installed.
Check to see whether any pieces of
furniture next to the appliance are vi-
brating whilst the appliance is in
operation.
Switch the appliance off then:
Check whether the appliance is
aligned correctly.
Check whether all parts at the rear of
the appliance are free from hind-
rance. Remove any hindrance.
Check whether the cable clips were
unclipped from the back of the ap-
pliance before installation. They
could vibrate when the appliance is
operating.
Are all removable parts securely lo-
cated in the appliance?
Are bottles or containers touching
each other?
Remember that the noise of the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
Make sure the temperature selector
is not set at “0”.
Check that the plug is correctly in-
serted in the socket.
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 temperature in the appliance
is too low.
Turn the temperature dial to a setting
closer to “0".
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
Check whether ventilation gaps have
been covered over or become too
dusty.
Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the ap-
pliance has become too dusty.
Has the door been opened too fre-
quently.
Check that the door has been
properly closed.
