Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit-
ably qualified and competent person
in accordance with local and na-
tional safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous. The man-
ufacturer cannot be held responsible
for unauthorised work.
The following faults can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department:
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 op-
eration.
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 hin-
drance. Remove any hindrance.
^
Check whether the cable clips were
unclipped from the back of the appli-
ance before installation. They could
vibrate when the appliance is operat-
ing.
^
Are all removable parts securely lo-
cated in the appliance?
^
Are any bottles or containers unsta-
ble or knocking against 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.
^
Check whether the respective section
is switched on. The relevant tempera-
ture display must be lit up.
^
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, consult the Service
department.
. . . the door to the freezer section will
not open because it has been opened
and closed too many times in suc-
cession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is pre-
venting 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.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
The super freeze or super cool func-
tion has not been switched off. The
respective indicator light is still on.
